LOL CD, I wondered what you were on about!

How are you today anyway?

I led Morning Prayer this morning, only the 2 of us, but even so it gave me a bit of confidence back, so thank you God!

I am ok, Mary, but then I am always "ok", iykwim!!?

{hug}

Night all. xx

big hugs CD xxxx

Hi Everyone, have been reading and praying for all. Those certainly were good weights for twins - my goodness me, it was difficult enough with DS being 9lbs by himself!
Mary, I had to laugh about your son and the hosepipe ,and Rosey, I'm so glad the girls came for help. Ouija boards are definitely not a toy.

hi all, just a quickie.
dh says the laptop died, not quite sure how he has got it working , but it's not working properly , eg bookmarks gone, and he says not to save anything

i am anxious we haven't lost ds photos , he doesn'tknow if we have yet, there are loads on here., right from bump onwards.

WELCOME BACK MUFTI. How was your weekend away with MIL? Praying that those precious photos will be safe somewhere on your computer. (You can buy an external hard drive for around £80, and download copies of all photos to that, so that you have a spare set of everything. We keep meaning to do this too, when we get a moment . . .)

Good morning all. God bless.

Hope the pics are not lost, mufti!! xx

Morning all - how are you all doing today??

Hello everyone - I know I don't post on this thread very much, but can I ask for prayer, as I'm hanging on by my fingertips right now and everything is suddenly like quicksand beneath me. I can't even explain it properly, and I've got no idea why it's happening. All the things which used to make complete sense seem like gobbledegook now, and things I used to frown on seem very sensible. I'm unnerved. thanks x

{{{{{{SueBaroo}}}}}} Praying. xxxx

Bit of sifting going on I think Sue.

Word "refining" keeps jumping to mind too.

And you're hanging on, not falling - so you must have something to hang on to IYSWIM.

Praying.

Morning BM!! How are you doing, in particular, the SPD?? xx

bAAAAAAAd day yesterday. So did pretty much nothing all day, so by the evening I could waddle around again.

Dd watching cbeebies at this unearthly hour while I gird up my (splitting) loins to try to reach the kettle. As of this last week I've actually heard my pelvis popping and clicking out of place which is so ewwwwwwwww.

Don't want to maon too much about it because one of our agreed "condititions" on having one more baby was that the SPD was bearable. I may have talked up how well I was doing to dh, but I don't want him to start grudging this pregnancy. I don't think he will, but I do feel a bit guilty that it was my idea to go for this knowing that there was a possibility of it coming back again. The house is more of a pigsty than usual.

And my mum phoned last night to say they'll be in Portugal until 2 days before my due date. We deliberately don't use them as babysitters so that when the big things (like the birth of a child) come up, we can ask them to help out a bit. I'm a bit disappointed tbh. Hmph.

But dh does have an interview next Monday. It would be a 2 hour commute each way to Edinburgh and another contract that would finish in May, but I don't think at this point we can be picky about the details

oh BM, really praying that it doesn't get any worse than this sweetie. xx Praying DH's interview - something to "tide you over" & @ your parents - absolutely bloomin' typical; but you already know how much I sympathise with you in that area - my outlaws have done absolutely zlilch with each grandaughter so Boo sucks to them! Have you got a back-up plan?? xx

Morning all,

Sorry didn't reply last night but thank you so much for all your prayers - DS is a bit better this morning, his temp has gone down thank to alternate doses of Calpol or Nurofen. He has got yet another filthy cold though and conjuntivitis. The nurse practitioner was worse than useless yesterday, saying that it was perfectly normal for them to be constantly ill. I kept trying to explain that he has had the same thing for over 3 months, not getting better and getting something else but all she did was look at me like I was a neurotic mother and tell me that a Dr might refer him to a paed if I wanted? So that is the way we will have to go.

Ok, rant over. I am not at work today due to being a silly billy and fainting at the Dr's yesterday I hadn't been feeling well and the stress of DS being poorly must have got to me. The nurse booked me to see the Dr today and I have to see the midwife anyway (25 week) check - don't know what's wrong with me... feel yucky today though, just want to crash out in bed but can't coz bedroom doesn't have a door at the moment and the bathroom is currently being replaced!

Mary - love your DS - that's made me smile

Rosey - glad the girls came to you and I hope in a way that they have scared themselves enough not to do it again IYSWIM?

Hope everyone else is ok.

Aw BM, that is sucky re your parents, have you got any other help? Hoep you have a better SPD day today - hugs.

Morning CD - how are you and the lovely girlies this morning?

podglet - look after yourself - feet up all day - with breaks only allowed for hot chocolates or cups of tea. Tis official.

CD- we have folks from church and playgroup/school I could call on, but I was really hoping that there would be people who reallY know the dcs just in case they have to put them to bed or something. I know it's just for one or 2 nights (please God not 2 nights again!), but I know I could relax if they were with my parents, whereas I'll worry if they're with someone they only know a little.

My MIL is severely disabled and lives 300 miles or so away. She might come up and stay for one of the weekends on either side of my due date, but she wouldn't really be able to look after the pair of them and certainly can't drive anymore.

Just need to pray that baby doesn't come until after the 21st April (due date is 25th). Ds was 2 weeks early, dd was 4 days late, so I don't really follow a pattern.

Good morning ladies - flying by with a quick hello before I get stuck into study again.

Praying for you all. Suebaroo, God knows whats in our hearts and minds, so even if you cannot express in words how you're feeling, try to take time to sit quietly with God and let Him work it all out for you. ((((suebaroo))))

2nd what BM said, Podglet - feet up lady and start taking some iron supplements, if you aren't already - sounds like you are a bit anemic and a bit too busy!!!!

Praying DS is back to full health soon too. xxxxx

It will all work out just fine in the end, trust me! xx

Praying Sue.

Do I remember rightly that you were on ADs a while ago with your PND? I only ask because I have what I describe as 'a quicksand feeling', when my depression (which was made a lot worse by PND) kicks in - particularly re. matters of faith. I know now it is a symptom, and that it goes away when I get ontop of the depression.

just dashing in to say can I have some prayer for my daughter's brithday party - it's me and B (9 months) dd1 - nearly 10 and then dd2 (birthday girl) and 7 friends. In our little house. With a chocolate fountain.......aaargh.Seem to have a lot to do before 2.45 and feeling a bit panicky. I know it's terribly frivolous - but if there's any spare prayers I would so much appreciate it!Back later to catch up with everyone.
