[AuldAlliance]

Voici FWs!

Good plan Bebe, Vezzie is right, don't take any risks.

Excitedly bumping the due dates...

Vezzie - April 6th
Bicnod - July 14th
ZuluWarrior - July 26th
BebeMoo - late August
BabyBolat - October 8th

Happy Birthday Felix x

Bebe, glad DH is being supportive - it will help make things easier.
No, nothing was found in my last pg which is why I am bothered by it. It is also 4 weeks since my blood tests and so wondering why it has taken so long. Anyway, have left them a message so hopefully will get it sorted soon.

Come on Vezzie - start pushing!!!

Vezzie, two things I would consider doing. Firstly complaining to the PALS service (Patient Liaison) at the hospital and tell them you are extremely unhappy with your treatment and are considering a formal complaint about the consultant(s) not dealing with your concerns properly and lack of continuity of care leading to distress. Everything should swing into action after that.

Secondly as you have had one before, threaten to opt for a very last minute elective HB anyway, on the grounds that it seems nobody will care for you properly in hospital anyway, so you can't see the point of coming in, especially as at home you would have two mws attending to you properly. Then watch them jump and flap about.

Felix says thank you for birthday wishes but he can't stop as he is whizzing around on his trainer bicycle without pedals yelling 'Wheeee!'

Forgot about the birthdays :( I'm very self-centered lately. Please forgive me.

Hope he has a lovely day! :) Poor Meg keeps asking for more presents since her birthday ;)

Meg got a balance bike too, but she's still very uncertain about the whole thing... she's very self conscious like her mummy it seems. We have to wait until DH is around to try it again and I'm just not capable of helping out.

Hi All,

BabiesBolat, hope you get some answers soon about strange tests. K being a healthy lovely boy is presumably quite hopeful, or does it not work like that? Keeping things crossed for you.

Bebe - hope you can get something sorted about the SPD and that DH finds some work back here soon.

Boff - love the sound of Felix racing around on his bike! We have accidentally left Orbit's scooter at the Lake Grounds in Portishead, so until tomorrow, when I can go and pick it up, we are trying to pretend scooters don't exist. I have even hidden DS1's, as Orbit is incredibly fond of his scooter!

Vezzie - hospital sound RUBBISH. Make lots more noise and insist on things. Pretend to be the granddaughter of a foreign leader if necessary, apparently it works for Berlusconi

So having sounded out opinions about number three babies, I find myself really quite worried that we might already have created DC3 by accident......Have been feeling really sick all week, and although it was an option to have another one, we were thinking NOT YET!

Am very worried about whether we would survive such a thing (as in relationship and life in general), whether I would ever be able to work again, we'd probably have to move to a cheaper house, can I cope with the age gap, what if they're a terrible sleeper like Orbit? And of course I can't remember when my last period was, being a scatterbrained dunderhead, so don't know when I can start testing and not sure I'm ready to find out, anyway.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!

Help?

Oh bugger WFH. I think you may need to do a test. Of course you'd survive it. You'd make it work- the very fact you were considering it in the first place tells me so xx

Oh crikey WFH. I agree with Zulu though. You say NOT YET; that's not the same as NOT AGAIN. Are you going to do a test today?

I missed loads of birthdays so a belated happy birthday

I still haven't got Izy anything. I really need to get him something sorted. Please may I see what you lot got yours

Moo got balance bike, lego coach bus, chalk, wooden bridge for train track and playmobile female mtn biker figure, balloons, cake and marshmallows.

WFH test today and then next week this time and again until you're proven one way or the other.

I've managed to 'reset' my bits last night so today I'm walking with only the slightest twinge. :) I've been practising not lifting, or pulling or pushing heavy things around. I've also tried to keep my self aligned at all times, so trying to do less twisting, or crossing my legs etc.
And I've had a banana split for my second brekkie so today seems ok.

Worrying about dealing with Moo tomorrow at the dr...but I have little choice. Hopefully it's not a long wait (but most of the ladies on the German thread have reported having to wait an average of an hour!! for to be seen even with appt.) We cannot decide if we want to know gender this time around either...

WFH bugger but also yay! Sorry that's not helpful. Go and do a test and find out - most test aren't accurate until the day of your period so I did one with these babies and was negative (one week before period due) and positive day of period.

I haven't got K anything yet either and his birthday has gone! I'm getting him a rabbit x

I would do a test now and in a week's time as well. There's not a lot of difference between 2 and 3 children tbh and that's what bunkbeds are for.

I've written my Mom a note and apologised for ever whining without cause and for complaining about suppers...I so get her now

I can't remember what I got Holly. Her birthday is not until the 16th but I bought all her gifts from Amazon back in January when I had some vouchers. The box has been on top of the wardrobe for months. I'll take a peek later.

Sandy got a bean bag which he has so far ignored. He got so much stuff from other people he didn't need any more. Oh, and a tractor cake which listed to one side a bit .

Am having to sit on my hands to nOt post on FB on my friend's page. She had a baby on monday and is already getting she who must not be named militants giving advice about curbing the baby's night feeds.

FFS, this is a baby that came two weeks early and she's meant to sleep in her own room and through the night when she's less than a week old?

Am .

Don't sit on your hands. Putthe other side forward but gently so you they can't call you militant

Trouble is my friend is a GFer, this is her second baby, but I just think at less than a week old a baby can damn well feed all night if I wants.

I had a run in with one of her other friends about double buggies, of all the crazy subjects, so am a bit wary.

GFer or not, at 1 week there should not be ignoring meanness training such non-sense going on. I'd certainly be saying something but tactfully as possible.

Poor baby. That woman who must not be named has a lot to answer for. But I guess if it gets you a good night's sleep...... .

I get shirty with friends friends all the time. Lifes too short to let shit be spouted

Thank you all for kind words and advice about the DC3 possibility. BoffinMum, for some reason I found yours particularly comforting - you have a very practical outlook on these things!

No test yet, as I'm still trying to work out my dates but I know it's pretty early to be testing. I'm the world's worst person for knowing when everything is due, I tend to wake up occasionally thinking 'Haven't had one of them for a while'.

Still feel sick pretty much all the time though.

DP reacted less negatively than I expected, too. He has a very que sera sera approach to life, though, so I should have guessed he would be quite relaxed. That's made me feel better, although our conversations brought up some fairly painful memories of the one we lost, for various reasons.

WFH, que sera sera is quite a good approach, maybe? If you were planning on 3, you may as well get it over and done with ;)

bebe, am glad you have realigned yourself (!)

Hope everyone else is OK.

Alex is getting a balance bike, too. That is, if DH remembers to buy it tomorrow. He borrowed my car on Wed with the express intention of buying said item and thus transporting it home (tricky on the train), and forgot.

He is also getting two Brio train wagons from DS1 and some bollox from me that I ordered online and have to collect tomorrow. Oh, yes, just remembered what it is: a table thingy for playing with water on the terrace - www.eveiletjeux.com/Produit-121184/circuit-a-eau-portable-tendance.htm (still not found square brackets on this macbook...!)

I am having a crisis at work, as the distance course I dutifully e-mailed to the tele-learning centre in Jan didn't arrive (explains why no students sent me in any work!), and we are now but a few weeks away from exams. The distance learning students have had half the module (Engl-French translation) while those attending classes have had the whole shebang. Setting an exam will be a minefield, and I look a right tit.
