FEB 2011 - Peekaboo!! Sitting, Eating and sometimes Sleeping

[wigglesrock]

, Welcome all - will post stats later, so any lurkers decloak

Had to come on after reading your post Hubbard, I've got tears in my eyes for you. What an awful thing to go through, I'm so sorry it happened. You never could have known it would happen, and it must have been heart breaking to have your beloved dog put down. Now the stitches are out Tom can start to heal and get over it now. I hope you start to feel better soon.

hubbard sorry cross posts. I dont know what to say,it must have been so terrifying for you all,you are probably suffering from ptsd and the best thing to do is to talk about it loads with dh who was there,studies have shown this is very effective,talk about each memory and remember how you felt and what you heard/smelt i dont know why but this works well. His face will be fine my ds is very handsome,and he will get over it in time especially with lots of love,loads of people have dogs with kids how were you to know this would happen?He just flipped as they sometimes do. Its traumatic to watch your baby go thru stuff,it helped me with Dilly to tell myself that thank god they can do something even if it was horrible.Im sure he wont remember.Do you have a follow up at the hospital?How does he look now?

hubbard my heart was in my mouth reading what happened, God knows how you feel, what a frightening thing for you and dh to go through, you did so well getting over today xx

oh hubbard I've got teary eyes too :( Poor little Tom today too having his stitches out. Is he OK now? I know and understand blaming yourself as I think in a way it's a natural reaction, but please please know it was not your fault. You've been through such a rough time - take it easy on yourself.

I'm watching twilight - is it wrong that I'm enjoying it ?

wiggles mr leto? really?

I've got a wilkinet deb and ledkr but can't wear it long because of my back so it's not that useful. I'veput a bid on a moby on ebay and if I get it then great but if not we'll see as they are quite ££ new.

deb that's lovely re: your mum taking imy. We are hoping to try swimming again next week

reastie my sister lent me Twilight on DVD, just after it came out, told me it was the biggest pile of dross, I stuck it on one night when Mr W was working, I really enjoyed it, so I will join you in . Apparently its not that big a secret re Mr Leto, not now I say

Thanks for the wasp sympathy, sudocreme has helped it the most

ledkr don't start me on school shoes, I was driven mad last week trying to get Sofias', she has a broad foot with a high arch - can't wear anything like a Mary Jane which appears to be the only bloody school shoe there is.

reastie i cant seem to win a moby on e bay they are all snipereat the last min,i may get one of the fake ones off there-a wrap's a wrap,

hubbard for what it is worth I think you have been so brave sharing your story and I totally agree with ledkr about talking about the things going through your mind. It will help you process your thoughts and help you move on through this difficult time. We are all here to help and support you. Big hugs to you all.

deb how lovely for you Mum, things like that make you realise how much we take for granted.

Haven't got my butt into gear about school shoes etc. Am enjoying having the boys at home. It is full on all day with four at home but at 6 and 7 they are really good company. Imogen will miss them when they go back to school.

Can't believe how fast the last 6 months have flown by.

hubbard that must have been incredibly traumatic for you, I'm so sorry. I know you must be feeling awful and guilty which is completely natural, and probably nothing we can say will help right now but there was no way you could have known your dog would do that. I was reading an article the other day about staffies and how good they are with children, and how they were an ideal family pet, so you really couldn't have ever dreamt he would do such a thing. I'm sure Tom won't remember, please look after yourself.

Sorry I thought Twilight was bobbins despite my liking of crap films and vampires.

deb how lovely for your mum, lovely story.

wiggles at 20 wiper. And don't you dare leave me now that american and deb have gone to over to the dark side

ledkr I've already been outbid on the moby

wiggles how's the sting? I just remembered my parents' gardener was saying the other day something about how we are being invaded by a european wasp with a super nasty sting

Can't believe I've been up an hour already but dh and alice sleeping soundly - I'm so tired - wish I could sleep

Morning all, reastie hope you're asleep again.

hubbard how traumatic, but at least you were there with Tom and could pull the dog off.

Dark side borg ha ha ha

reastie and ledkr DH just got lucky on ebay for my moby, think we only paid £15 for it. Nowt spesh about it, just a long piece of cloth. You could look at kari-me as well.

deka how lovely of your mum, it is so good she is able to enjoy her grand children. So many people take it for granted, i hope she is well.

Well AF is in the building, i know i have only been ttc for 3 months but it feels like a bloody lifetime. I should have an almost 6 month old daughter here and not be ttc.

Hope the non-sleepers had a good night. All you ladies and babies have a good day.

oh jane :( Is the actual ttc bit getting a bit tedious or are you still enjoying? Sorry if this is tmi but we conceived on month 3 but by then we were finding the whole thing such a chore of dtd as we did it alot . If it helps, I read when ttc that some people say dtd too frequently actually slightly reduces the chance of getting pg as the mans body doesn't have enough time inbetween each time to make lots of good strong sperm. I think wherever I read it say the best thing is every other day at less fertile times and once a day on the few most fertile days. That may be rubbish though . In my head I've got a little picture of you being pg for your wedding and announce at the speeches your happy news to everyone [teary eyed] for the first time. That would defintely be an unforgettable speech . So - I'm really hoping next month is your month as then the timing would work with the wedding announcement [soppy] . Must be really really frustrating for you :(

reastie nail on the head. We both have the same picture of announcing pregnancy during the speeches, although at this rate thats all it is, just a picture.

jane really feel for you, its absolute shite, no other word for it. I really hope it happens soon for you, I took so long with Sofia and less with the other two but it must be so hurtful for you knowing you conceived so quickly with Zoe xx

Sorry girls, im just feeling sorry for myself. Someone give me a virtual slap out of it!

jane Thwack, thwack, want to come to the Museum with me and the girls [snore], is it wrong that I long to take them to the soft play place so I can sit with A and eat over priced cake rather than dawdle around looking at fossils and dinosaurs I had to explain evolution to Sofia last week and I felt like I was sitting my A-levels again

Hi laydees,
Sorry for lack of mentions but hey I'm back and trying to catch up!

jane I have the same dream of you announcing it at your wedding. It will happen mrs. I know it
wiggles and ledkr you really make me pish myself laughing
reastie so sorry about your granda! I lost both mine in the same month and still think about them. They never met my children.
hubbatd you poor poor thing!

I've been lurking but not posting! Had really bad pnd and have stopped breast feeding. Feel like I'm an actress in a film most days and in a fog! On ant d's but not really helping. Neither house will sell so up and down from dundee to glasgow and its killing me. Debt mounting, ex is a mare and everything is just on top of me.

Maeve is gorg though! However I have a non rolling non sitting lazy girl.(Crackin sleeper though)

american fancy a coffee (in monifieth next week)

Oh jane i so remember how it feels.When i mc it took me nearly 2 years to conceive,i was obsessed,bought those ov predictors and all,i felt sick all the time and very jealous of others.
Then with dh i was sooooo in love with him but knew the chances were slim at 39.He was fine but i felt i was depriving him of something really special and that one day he would leave me as he wanted a child.
Interestingly in both cases i conceived when we bonked less better be carefull at the mo then cos im right off it
Its quite normal to take ages,my sis is only 29 and it took them nearly a year too. Its so frustrating to have to wait a bloody month again tho isnt it?

Dilly slept ok but her new wake up time is 6.15 am hoping holiday will re set her.

jane you could cheer yourself up with someof the bizzarre threads on here at the mo. Dirty knobs is all im saying

Jane, it is so frustrating fir you, it took us four months with Noah, but we concieved straight away with Ben so four months felt like ages. Both me and dh got tired of dtd all the time, it kind of becomes a chore. A friend gave me her last ovulation stick, as she'd had her second baby, when I was getting stressy about it and lo and behold we got pregnant that month. My sis took almost 2 years to get pregnant and was getting really upset by the end, she said she became almost obsessed with it, I'm sure it'll happen for you soon Jane. Were all rooting for you!

Welcome back Irish, I hope your ok. How long have you been on the anti D's. It took me about a month to start feeling better. Glad Maeve is doing well

I've been tempted to get a moby but not sure how much I'd use it, plus not sure how Noah would like it!

His tooth is finally starting to grow after over a week of being a moany pants (him, not me, although dh might disagree). It's cut through the gum so hopefully the worst is over for him.

Weather is rubbish here today. Mil will be here soon, Ben had swimming, other than that not sure what to do. Bloody weather!
Have a good day y'all!

Hey irishqueen welcome back! I've missed you, how is Maeve and the crazy hair? Sabine's is going that way too! Sorry to hear about PND and shitty other things :( you always sound so upbeat on here. You said ex is a mare, do you have a DP ATM to support you?

jane it WILL happen, course it will, you know you can get pg. Just try and relax (ha!) Can you do something nice for yourself today? Go and chat up Brad or something?

Hi irish sorry you are not doing good, but we are all here to listen.

wiggles thanks for the slap! I owuld love to come the museum with you !

ledkr dirty knobs you say? im off to check them out

Thanks emski yay for the tooth!

debka Saturday night is date night with Brad [wishful dreamy emoticon]

jane sorry to hear the dreaded AF reared her ugly head. Indulge in lots of chocolate and rest up ready for the next round of ttc! The wedding announcement would be nice but tbh whenever it happens it will be a beautiful moment telling your loved ones. One of my friends had an ectopic pg and then loads of issues ttc, when she gave up on it and started adoption process she fell pg so I think there's def something in the psychological side of things - but then again it is impossible to not think about it and worry if you're ttc so telling you to relax is completely pointless!

ledkr it is too early for dirty knobs!

irish welcome back, sorry to hear you have had a rough time, coming on here and venting seems to help most of us! And ex problems are my specialist subject so sending you sisterly hugs and f**k you vibes to your nightmare ex!

Morning to everyone else, hope all well. My DP is off work this week and combined with holiday last week plus two older DCs away, he is getting right on my nerves. He is hovering around me holding the baby and looking put upon so I'd better go in a sec, just thought I'd share.....

ledkr at the dirty knob thread, you are right it made me smile. Im nosey, what did you say that got deleted ?

irishqueen great to "see" you again, what did you decide re weaning, that was the last time I saw you, confused in Tescos Selling houses is an absolute feckin nightmare, I moved 2 years ago, it was a year of absolute hell.

ledkr I was watching that thread just after it started last night, left before you joined in, it was strange, dirty dick indeed

Museum was fab , I mean it usually is, just wasn't in the mood today but really enjoyed it. Sofia and Olivia dialled down their bickering, Anna was a dote, there were loads of tourists, it was really lovely and the giftshop didn't bankrupt me

Need some advice re Anna I think, she is so hungry, eating 3 meals and some snacks a day, but she is waking up at night for bottles. The waking doesn't bother me so much but she is downing a bottle each time, am now panicking about over feeding her. I obviously am trying to settle her without feeding and I know from Olivia the difference between just waking and being hungry but am starting to freak out. I put on a new 6-9 month baby gro last night (well on her ) and her feet are already almost poking out of it
