AUGUST 2008 - Relax and Enjoy

[TwilightSurfer]

LOL! I didn't want to put any pressure on "you know who."

Night all sleep tight :)

Tomorrow morning there will be a fresh new baby in the world - my friend is having her baby by c-section tomorrow morning as they are expecting the baby to be over 12lbs [wince] hint hint ;)

Where did the hint hint come from???

12lbs

tweakers -I'm on shift till 6pm to text me someone please!!!

How wonderful! You all seemed to have had a glorious day. I wish the same for tomorrow.

morning
no baby yet...this is getting silly...not even any signs of a baby....

it'll be lovely to hear from you vg

do DH's parents really fucking think we'll forget to tell them Pea's here?!! i'm not in a great mood today. dh stropped off to work because he thought Pea would be here over weekend and therefore not have to go in today. he's lost his contact lenses (which is obviously my fault as well) and there's a stain on the shirt he's just ironed this morning (didn't bother ironing last night because obviously he wasn't going to work today). DS has tipped half pint of milk on the carpet and he's now throwing toys at the television. i've not slept and i just want to find a corner somewhere to hide in

oh and according to dh i'm ridiculous for being upset this morning. yeah great, made me feel loads better.
i know its hormones but i was keeping it all under control until he shouted at me about his contact lenses

right, i need to stop wallowing here. don't know what to do to stop it though

Oh Tweaky - crap sounding morning - hugs. Remember She will come when she is ready and nothing or no one can make it happen (naturally) until she is ready. Make some plan, do some baking with DS, take him out for a treat just enjoy your last few days of it being just you and him.

We had a minor miracle here today - BOTH DDs SLEPT UNTIL 8.30 . Now there are both sitting in their respective seats pooing!

Hellooo VG

Dizzy have a good dhift today and hope there is notohing grim going on.

Sazz - See you tomorrow and the weather is supposed to be great :)

i know oops, I do know you're right but i can't stop crying at the moment. according to dh we could have done more to encourage her out ie sex. well we did a few days ago and it flared my spd up again. it was painful walking for the next 3 days. so no, that's not an option. it just feels like he's blaming me for everything. even the fucking wet patch on the floor where i'd washed the carpet from DS's milk

well done on the sleeping DDs..i bet you feel like a new woman don't you?

Your DH is being an arse, sex does not get babies out! He should have prepared himself for going to work he is a grown up after all and know that babies do not turn up when you expect them!

yup, i agree with you! i think he's got a particularly horrible week at work this week due to what's going on there and i guess he assumed he'd miss it all because obviously he'd be on paternity

Morning

That should do it [evil]

tweakers the weather is supposed to be lovely today, so could you and DS go for a picnic in the park or something to get out for a bit? I would love to come too, but just that bit too far

Hurrah oops on sleeping babes . DD2 came in again about 2am and as previously kicked and scratched us to pieces until 6.15am when she wanted to get up. We have decided we have to return her to her room in the night which is as i love having her in with us but we can't operate on such little proper sleep. SHe is not going to be impressed

Loving Sassy as a name and PMSL that she won't answer poor D . This morning when DD1 got up, DD2 said 'ello oosie and DD1 said 'Morning'. Made me

Morning. DH is off today so has finally taken huge heap of stuff to the dump at last. He has been sneezing all week where I've been moving stuff around, I am sympathetic and properly at the dustbunnies but it is very funny watching a grown man being spun about the room by a fit of sneezes.

Kurt currently calling N No-nose and L Ry-ry.

Tweakers the last days are so emotionally draining. All the waiting and wanting. Cry it out. Eat loads of chocolate. Soak in the tub. Can someone be bartered with to take T for a while so you could rest without worry? I would pop by to take him for the day if closer. He love to hang with R and be subjected to Toy Story all day long. We are now on the second showing.

I am letting my beach house reservation go. I took the week to consider it and as usual I think I have jumped the gun. For once DH has talked about going to a different beach location. After reviewing options, I think we can do this and all be very happy.

Also, I am coming to terms with not being a room mom. The move to the new classroom was hard for K and the loss of my status has been hard on me. However, I did not attend the official room mother's meeting this morning. I believe that is a sign of my acceptance of things.

Crispy I want to shop for beautiful clothes. Because of your post I picked up the latest INSTYLE magazine at the grocery store last night. I am so out of fashion apart from my pilates clothes.

Oops too funny about the joint pooing.

Buckets hello! You have been on my mind the past few days. No reason but you have.

Hello to everyone else and best wishes for a lovely afternoon to you all.

Quiet on here today

tweakers sorry to see your H has been gunning for Prize Arse position again. F him (or don't, if that's your choice :)). Hopefully you've had a restful day just chilling with your lovely little boy.

Am having a moment of anxiety about DS; if it weren't for the fact that I am certain he understands what goes on around him, I would be seriously worried about his slow progress with speech. His little friend came round today - he is 5 weeks older and knows my name, speaks in 2-3 word sentences, can basically hold a toddler conversation. And he's not unusual, most of DS's friends do this and by the sound of it most of your little ones as well.

DS doesn't say anyone's name and doesn't have many intelligible words, although he makes himself understood well enough, to DP and I anyway. He seems that bit more babyish and I wonder whether it's something I am doing, keeping him back somehow because I'm holding him too close. Or something.

I just hate feeling like he should be doing more or differently, because I love my little boy just the way he is and really want not to get caught up in the comparing thing.

Sigh.

Cyteen - please don't worry too much about him - DD1's best friend is 2 tomorrow like J and does not say much and today for the first time called her sister by her name, she occasionally puts 2 words together but mostly is totally un-understandable. SHe is very active and physical - streaks ahead of DD1 when it comes to climbing and negotiating obstacles.

Did yoyu like that new word I just made up??

TS sorry to hear your room mom thing isn't happening as you sounded so psyched up for it with loads of ideas . Maybe a chance to direct a little time and attention to you?

cyteen but J wins the superubercutebaby award every day of the week. I presume you are speaking to him with normal words and not like Oopsa Daisy? yes? thought so. Well then he will be picking all the words up, storing them in a little dictionary and will amaze you with his vocab one day. I know someone whose DC wouldn't speak until they could construct full sentences, perfectly pronounced. I reckon J is one of them

Worked hard all day, only one major minor error so off out for a drink with a freind. See you later

lol oops, that made me smile :) You are right of course, and it's true that DS's motor skills have always been pretty forward. Thinking about it, his little mate only learned to jump properly a short while ago, whereas DS has been doing it for ages. Why is it so easy to forget the things they are doing and just worry about the things they're not?

I like your girls' tandem pooing efforts, although probably easier to say that from a distance How are they getting on at the moment?

cyteen... it sounds as if J is about a week or two behind T. seriously, i could have typed your post a couple of weeks ago but just in the last few days he has been making more sense to people other than me and DH

Yeah, no-one understands DS at all apart from me, and even me not so much of the time. I worry about his contempories talking more than him too, but well ...

But charm in bucketloads, although he does need a haircut.

This evening 8pm

Me to GrandmaLongway:

"Can you just give DD a cuddle please to see if she will fall asleep, DS needs a bath and is being a bit noisy for her."

Later:

GrandmaLongway enters room:

"DD and I both woke up with the phone ..."

Later, both children asleep in bed, longway downstairs, increasing noises from upstairs. I go to investigate.

GrandmaLongway lying in bed with DS who is sitting bolt upright holding a snowshaker of the nativity holding forth to grandmalongway who says.

"I just came in to see if he needed me to find his dummy for him"

not as good as the aubergine anecdote however.

Love to all

Cyteen I absolutely second what the others have said. DD can't jump for toffee, isn't much of a one for climbing either and her run is slower than her walk. Speech is a really visible (IYSWIM) milestone but not the only one. Quite a lot of DD's friends don't say much yet, especially in public (especially the boys? Is my impression, I'm cautious of saying it though as could be my own unconscious expectation).

Longway

evening all. just been for a fast 45min walk round and round the block. Had loads of surges, back is really aching so we shall see if I've managed to get anything started
thanks for all your lovely messages/comments earlier today even though some of you did make me cry But you only did that because of being so sweet so here's a to you all and to all a goodnight

Lovely evening out, good to kick back and natter without 720 interruptions every minute

tweakers 37 minutes until a new school year

LOL @ longway

oops if i don't catch you in the morning, we need to be at the garage at 8.30, should be no longer than an hour, so would be at V Park about 10.30. Will keep you posted via text

ooh Tweakers - thinking of you darling

have just finished baking and am early shift again tomorrow - eyes are about to fall out of head and my appt which I was so desperate for at the hosp wasn't worth the fecking £1.70 needed for the parking too tired to rant so I'll bid you all goodnight and maybe someone would be kind enough to text me should there be something to text about
