May 2010: The little ones may start to crawl, and we're returning business calls!
rachelfruitloop · 15/01/2011 21:34
hollyoaks only just read about your nephew and the all clear, thank goodness, how terrifying for you all. Glad it looks as though nothing too serious 
mousey I tested neg at about 1 week preg and then faint line (very faint) at about 10 days. Think you are meant to wait 2 weeks or so? What result would you like?
I am very torn. I think with my practical head on it would be wrong for us. Financially/emotionally/physically ... all of it but I just want to be pregnant 
My friend is due to have her baby boy today (first and probably only), she has waited years on IVF, very very excited and bit jealous
Hope everyone is well
WLTK you give me some hope. We are going skiing at the end of March. I have left Alex over night with family for a night and am fine with that but hes going in to nursery every day in resort 
its very expensive and I am terrified he will hate it. He will be with his big sister and she will love it, thats the only way I can justify it to myself.
He'll start nursery in June part time anywa but a full week suddenly in March feels like a really big thing!!!
Thanks for the replies. I am hoping for a BFP - crazy I know with an 8.5month baby. Had slight bled yesterday but stopped overnight and v slight bleeding today. Traumatised DH by showing him my pad to prove I wasn't bleeding alot. Ahem. Am going to wait a couple of days before testing again.
Have been feeling rubbish today with really bad back ache. DD is in bed and I'm about to pop into a bath - hmmmm bliss.
Hope everybody has had a good day.

Hello all,
Hope everyone is well. We are the house of snot here at the mo which is delightful!
Mooseymoo- Ohhh how exciting! Ive only ever bought 2 tests and both of them were BFP's for my girls :)
Hollyoaks- Fantastic news!! 
What a relief. I hope the results come back with nothing else to serious.
Heffa- Yay on the crawling. :)
Den- Thinking of you. Must be a really emotional time for you. I think id kind of agree on doing it all now when hes too young to understand.
Pamlet- Wow on the skiing. 
DD1 is slowly improving at nursery which is good. Still heartbreaking leaving her crying :(
Lucy is so very close to crawling, Any day now god help me!
She is pretty mobile now by shuffling, rolling etc and has already started getting into all sorts of trouble. Today alone ive found her under the kids table and chairs set, climbing on the fireplace and pulling it down ontop of herself!! (ony the metal frame) Shes going to be one to watch im sure! 
hey there sorry I haven't been around just never get the time am going to make more of an effort.
On the Jacob front, he's just a big lump of chubby, gorgeous boyness loves his food, cannot get it in his mouth quick enough, still wakes in the night a few times for a feed (or 6), is moving by pulling himself along with his arms, bites and eats everything in site (new Argos catalogue is missing half a front page).
On the baby front, no more for me, 4 is more than enough I think I am at capacity now and my body and mind couldn't handle another pregnancy, I think my heart will always be broody but my head will overrule it, plus DP is going for the snip after his next marathon.
Hope you are all well I have most of you on FB anyway.
Den26 - work situation sounds good, hope you get a good deal! I think you're probably right to get the operation out of the way now, but must be a very tough decision.
Pamelat - skiing sounds great :) I've never been but would love to go, DH is very keen to take the kids sometime. Lovely news re your friend, it's so fab when it works out.
Moosey - good luck with test. FWIW, my periods have been quite irregular since DS.
Pigley - it's lovely when they're mobile isn't it 
Now DS is crawling I keep finding him all over the place. He crawls to the nearest thing he can stand up on and then looks so happy with himself. Lots of bumps though when he then falls over.
SK - lovely to hear from you, glad Jacob's doing well. I think I will always be a bit broody whatever I do. I need to start thinking about what I might want to do when I'm finished looking after DCs at home. I always planned to go back into librarianship but I think the profession is going to be destroyed by all these library cuts so probably not a good choice.
Newmomma - good to see you, how are things going? Is Ivy a bit more settled now? Hope you're OK.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRNIIIIING, VIETNAM!
hi all
survived first day at work in new office, quite alright actually, all is comin back to me and staff are fab, even the boss.
oscar also survived first day at nursery, played lots, ate lots, hardly ever slept, not a surprise there, and the best part, you have to see how excited he gets when i get home, dh said he didn't get so happy when he picked him up and............ wait for it, slept at 7 pm and still asleep, it took us by surprise, so didn't get him into pijamas, but he is wearing very soft fleeze like clothes, you think that's wrong?
too early for personal but hope that everyone is well, i can feel a namechange coming too but, ...who knows what? all those just reading and not posting, drop a line, will you? and stuffthenonsense, the last time we were carelessly careful i ended up in this thread, iykwim...
AF arrived last night so back to normal life here.
DD loves standing (with help and in walker), not really crawling but is making small attempts. Just very happy to sit and play with her toys. Good for me as I can leave her playing whilst in other room.
She is very vocal though: dada, nana, yaya, baba, gaga and this morning mama.
She's got her 8-12 month review with the HV on Monday - anybody else had their's yet?
WLK: Well done Oscar - glad he enjoyed nursery and you enjoyed work
STN - good namechange. I've been thinking I should change mine sometime. We're always a bit carelessly careful I leave responsibility for it to DH because I can't use hormonal contraception.
WLTK - yay for Oscar doing well at nursery and sleeping well :) Good that your colleagues are nice!
Moosey - sorry your AF arrived, must be good to be back to normal though. Enjoy being able to leave her where she is for now :)
DS is all over the place now and following his sister around. Lovely to watch but harder to get on with stuff around the house since I don't know where he's going to get to!
Work has called me in for a talk about my 'availability'. I spoke to my boss back in November to say I wouldn't be able to do very much (think I posted here about it) which hasn't changed but it sounds like they're not happy about it. Think I'm just going to resign tbh since I can't do justice to the job and someone else out there probably really needs it. A bit annoyed that I might get a ticking off for something that I explained and had approved though, but will wait and see.
SK- Good to hear from you. Glad your all doing well :)
Stuff- I know what you mean about the identity crisis. I have times when I feel abit lost if you know what I mean.
Hope the sleeping plan is going well.
We are still up once a night for a feed... usually between 4-5 ish. Copeable but prefer not to!
WLTK- Glad the first day back went well and that Oscar was OK at nursery. Ive found the little ones settle quite well as generally at this stage its 'out of sight, out of mind'.
Hope nursery continues to wear him out so you get good nights :)
Mooseymoo- At least you dont have that on your mind now.
We never got a 8-10mth review with DD.. just a letter saying they were too understaffed. Its anyones guess if we get one for Lucy!
Heffa- Hope the meeting goes well.
Lucy is now mastered Mum, mum, mum which sounds so cute :) Just love hearing her say it and has started waving. She has also started to do tiny crawls... god help me! She has pulled the fireplace down quite a few times now and seems to make a beeline for it! Little monkey!
oh and this weekend has been attempting to stand herself up!! In the middle of the floor, unaided so guess she will be crusing before we know it too.
Bit stressed her at the mo as ive been trying to arrange my dads 60th birthday but my mum (as ever) turns the simplist thing into a huge drama! So we have had yet another falling out
I can really feel a HUGE blow out arrising soon as for years ive just let her wear me down but im kinda reaching the end of my fuse!
Sounds dramatic over one disagreement but been an ongoing thing for years and theres only so many digs at how she diasgrees with my (apparently terrible) parenting. :(
On a brighter note... Ive managed to convince DH to redecorate the hall and stairs. He has suprisingly said we can hire a decorator to do it to, so instead of us taking ages to do it bit by bit around the kids it can be done quickly and professionally! woohooo!
Wallpapers choosen and the guys coming tomorrow to quote us.
Suns out here today which looks lovely but its bitterly cold out there. Roll on the summer! :)
Hi all pigley you seem to be one of the best mums I know
We good, we considered controlled crying, controversial I know but we were desperate but Alex has sorted himself out!! He now just wakes once for his dummy about 2am and hen goes back to sleep happily, a huge relief after months of 4 or 5 or sometimes worse wakings and constant co-sleepings. Dh and I slept in the sme bed for the first time in 5 months or so last night!!
DH has now said what about a 3rd, eeekkk, I think its because we feel ok again now.
Hi all!!
Carikube hope you are feeling better...families are such hard work when you want your kids to learn that you won't give in!!
WLTK yay on the tooth!! Willo has just cut too number EIGHT at the weekend
Pamelat, our decision for the 3rd was the hardest...we already had a boy and a girl at the time. But then we just carried on haha
Pigley, yay on the mum mum! DD did say it a couple of times but shes all dad dad dad now!
Moosey sorry about AF.
SK chubby boys are so lovely arent they!? Glad you are enjoing him. I said no more after 4....
So what's been happening here...not a lot really...just busy busy busy!! DD1 and DD2 were off school most of last week being sick. I now have a queasy tummy. Still trying to lose weight..I lost 3lb last week which is good. Plenty of time on the cross trainer and on the wii active sports workouts lately! Down to 10stone 1 now (was 12 stone 3 before I had willow) another half a stone and I will be happy!! DH stunned me last night saying he would like another baby one day when I said about selling all my baby stuff... I don't think sooooooooo!!!!.....
oooh...new icon 
when did that happen?!?!

Hi all, long time no see. Can't find the old thread so I don't know what's been happening, but ANGEL!!!!!!!! you're back!!!!!!! The pom bear thread was hilarious, some random posh couple who served macaroni cheese or something at a dinner party. It's in classics, but I'll try and find a link. Was hilarious. I can't look at pom bears the same way. Actually, Darcey was eating them at my Aunt's today and I couldn't stop chuckling.
I need a new name too, I fancy a change.
Feeling a bit at all these BFPs. I still haven't had AF come back - anyone else?
Darcey just this week out of 3-6 month clothes, she's a little dot now She went into that size at 2 months, so I've got a fantastic 6 months wear out of some of her stuff, yay! She's got two teeth, crawling, standing and so nearly cruising. A right little dynamo. It's hard to keep up with her, so that's why I've not been around much. I do think about you all, all the time. It's good to keep up on fb but I don't have everyone on there.
And pigley, for the record, I am spectacularly in awe of you and your lovely DDs. They are so obviously happy from head to tippy toe, and it's fab to see them into everything on fb. Most people on MN seem to have MIL trouble, but I'm with you - get most of my grief from my mom. Mostly about weaning (sound familiar getoffme?) and her not understanding it, despite me giving her the blw book to read.
Pam - glad Alex is sleeping better now. What a relief for you! We gave in to the CC two months ago and it worked for us, but I know it's not for everyone.
Moosey, I was going to book Darcey in with the GP, but the HV said apparently noone does the 9 month(ish) review anymore 
Going to try anyway as I want to ask about two of her toes that are wonky.
Anyway, enough dramble. See you all soon, will check back when I can.
Sorry for being very me but Alex has slept through for 2 whole nights, he had never slept through before!!
Didnt have to resort to controlled crying in the end but were just strict about him beng in own cot and own room, even if it meant going in with the dummy/reassurance as and when. Within a week he was sleeping. I am sure its luck/may stop or he was just ready? Do they have to be emotionally ready?
Am starting to really enjoy being with them. Still find 2 stressful, in that everything can be ok and then suddenly it all kicks off. DD needs toilet/tantrum/juice/food and DS will also need something at the same time, usually a hug or food!! In public,I still find that stressful but all good.
