Fab Feb 2009: things that go bump and "mummy, mummy, MUMMY!!!" in the middle of the night

[dinkystinky]

New halloween inspired thread (in honour of this time of year) to talk about our little jekyll & hydes [hgrin]

Is anyone going to be taking their little ones trick or treating this year? We'll be at MIL's for Halloween and she's already told me she has both Danny and DS1 costumes -so it appears that decision has been made for us

Hi chaps, thanks for your support.

It's been pretty tough, as littlesez said, I hadn't really told many people, and although I've told a few irl since it happened, it's not easy to talk about. My sister and three of my close friends are all pg, so don't want to discuss it with them. Too hard for me, and not nice for them.

I've had early losses before, but so early I hadn't known I was pregnant. This time it's been different, as I already new, so feel like I have more tangible emotions somehow.

M has been, as always, a dream and has given me lots more cuddles and kisses recently.

We're been told by quiet a few people that my fertility could well be quite high now, I know mslucy conceived again pretty soon, so we're trying to decide wether or not to take advantage of that.

Hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine - it certainly makes things seem a lot better doesn't it?

MrsY - I am glad you have popped by

MrsY

That must be so tough for you to have close friends and family pg whilst you grieve for your lost one. So glad that M is being a little angel for you. Take care of yourself xx

Hello all, hope you are well. Just popping in to share some news with you all but looks like I have popped in at the wrong time so will just say hello instead. x

bumps that's lovely news. I'm ssure MrsY will be very pleased for you.

I'm doing a test tomorrow..................................................

OMG sm was that planned? I am still in shock to tell you the truth.

No, not planned, not at all. I don't think I am, but am now 2 weeks late. I take it you didn't plan it?

Congrats bumps Do you have a date yet?

Good luck SM... whichever result you may be hoping for.

No wasn't planned at all. I also had lots of jabs for work while pregnant (obviously didn't know I was at the time) so had to have an early scan on friday to check everything was ok, this showed everything was fine and baby was 7 weeks then so edd is 4th november.

DP and i are still in shock but very happy. Although dont know what we are going to do about rooms or car as house and car are both too small. I also gave all baby bits and maternity bits away as we were not having any more. Managed to get some baby bits back luckily but not all and have absolutly no clothes to wear now...

But .....

I am going to have a baby

Good luck sm i will check in in the morning xx

congrats bumps

good luck sm

Panic over. Aunt Flo is here.

Jacob's got chicken pox now so am at home with him. very high temp through the night but seems ok now.

sounds like that was the result you wanted SM (given the use of the word panic )

Sorry J has the pox - hope its over soon. Is L fully recovered now?

Yes dinky. Luke still has a couple of scabs and some fading scars but is fine.
Jacob seems to be ok too, and it's only very mild atm, maybe a total of 12 spots that I can see. He keeps telling me he has stones in his hair so assuming there are spots on his head

Hi all

Bumps - that's lovely news x
SM poor Jacob!

Had a manic week - poor DS has been really unwell - high temp, pale, shivery and puffy eyes last Sunday. He looked awful and was really not himself, then on Monday night he used the potty in his room instead of going down to the loo. I noticed that it was really dark and cloudy wee, so I took him to the GP on Tuesday who really panicked me as he said his urine was full of blood and sent him to the hosp for tests and a kidney scan. He was diagnosed with a kidney condition which basically means that the cells in his kidneys are leaking protein....which causes bleeding in the urine, high blood pressure and swelling around the body. Luckily it has been picked up really early and there seems to be no damage to his kidneys but it could have been really serious. Antibiotics seem to have alleviated the symptoms and he is so much better but he needs another scan next week to check. Really scary - if it had not been treated it could have lead to renal failure.

Now just have to sort everything out for his 4th birthday party on Sat.......nothing got done this week. Off to make the requested car race track cake.

Omg Calico, how frightening! Does he have duplex kidneys? It's what I've got which also leads to the symptoms you've said. Last time I got an infection it left me in hospital for nearly a week on brink of renal failure. Can't imagine how scary that'd be for a 3 year old :-( poor love.

Gosh, how scary Calico, is that an ongoing thing or just a one off? Hope he feels better soon, especially with his birthday party tomorrow. xxx

Sounds like your rather relieved about AF, SM, don't know many people who'd update their fb status about their period! Hope Jacob's ok, I saw you've gone to work today, so hoping that's a good sign.

Dinky, how's all the work on the house going? Any photos?

Congratulations Bumps, glad everything was good at the scan.

Hope everyone else is well, and enjoying the sun - M and I are going to have a [i]whole[/i] day at the park (that's what she asked for anyway) but by the time we've done our jobs, it'll be lunch and then nap time, so it'll only be the afternoon! She was up at 5 this morning, so is absolutely exhausted, so she won't notice!

OMG Calico... how scary. Glad he's feeling better now and will keep my fingers crossed the scan is all clear next week

You know me MrsY, I do like to share far too much info! Have a nice afternoon at the park.

calico - OMG - wow that was close - glad he is ok. 4th birthdays all round then, dts 4 on tuesday

congrats bumps

MrsY sounds like fun

Afternoon all

Calico omg how scary for you all. Glad it seems to be on the mend now. I also now have a 4 year old and it is really effecting me, how stupid is that. I am having a mini melt down about her starting school as well.. mad i know as she has been going to preschool for about a year already.

hope everyone else is well...

affecting see thats how bad it is I cant even spell lol

I've just been told that on monday, I will be moving to another classroom. This is the solution they have come to about that woman I can't stand on the wednesday, and because they don't think I enjoy the class I'm in now, they've moved me.
I'm now worried about whether or not my contract will be renewed in september. The fact I've been moved 3 times now can't be good.
They are clearly renewing this other womens, she only got one term so is up in april, if they weren't gonna renew hers, our issue wouldn't have been a problem. Would it?
Think I'll have to make a huge impression in my new class to secure my job.......the class I'm moving out of, the teacher is head of department. I'm hoping she doesn't think I wasn't doing a good enough job in her class, I really tried.

Calico - that sounds terrifying! Glad they picked up the issue and DS is feeling better now - will keep my fingers crossed that the next scan is ok.

MrsY - hope you had a lovely holiday day at the park with M! Lovely day for it.

SM - I think the fact you've been moved 3 times says more about the school than you tbh. Just keep doing your best as you have been doing and am sure all will be ok.

bumps I know where you are coming from, I just want the allocation thingy over with so I know that they (hopefully) are in the same school as DS1.

I currently take 4 children to school and bring 3 back with me in September I will be taking 4 but only bringing 1 home and people keep asking me what I am going to do with my spare time

I am going to give Luke more quality time and be more organised with the food shopping & planning and try and run the house better. As well as the usual toddler groups, school runs, swimming lessons, afterschool clubs, I think that is enough why do people assume I will have more time???? I still have a 2 year old!!

Sorry laddies rant over

People do get moved round alot there. I am a bit shocked that they are moving the person who I am swapping with, can't imagine she's over the moon about it, she loves the room she is in.
It's the room with the extreme disabilities. All 6 are tube fed and on meds, so it's more training for my c.v.
I'm hoping that my contract will be renewed.
I'm hoping they haven't swapped me and A (the woman moving to replace me) as a short-term measure whilst they wait for my contract to expire. I don't think they'd have reason to not renew, I'm just paranoid maybe.
