June mummies '05 thread 8 -The one with where they get EVERYWHERE!

[katzg]

one new thread as requested

hope the title meants with approval

Trib - i don't really know on the foward facing thing, i had a big pram that both foward and rear faced which i used a lot with DD1, she always faced me i never thought to face her foward, we loved to talk to each other. For nursery days we used a lightwweight foward facing buggy, which she never objected too.

MrsW how exciting

morning all

Happy Birthday trib-hope you have a nice day, may i suggest you spoil yourself silly might as well really.

been lurking but not much to say really. dd nights are variable, but she is so gorgeous and adorable i just want to hug her all the time, i find she settles better when i slide her over to my bed.
i can't think how i would cope with bad nights while working, so really kudos to those who do it!

i have the same problem with the forward facing buggy, she just hates it and starts shouting after about 20min max. lots of baby carrying.

mrsW - do tell about new baby

giddy - hope you ok

eym - any progress with the counselling? hope you ok.

mumma - thinking of your little girl, feel powerless wish there was something we could do.

hope everyone else is ok, not much time to catch up, dd very vocal about wanting food, take care.

Hello all
We have been cut off. Would have told you the day before but our laptop has completely goosed on us and so I couldn't get on line. I am in the library now with dd2 on my lap so can't really catch up. I will try and pop in when I can but wish you all well in the meantime. We fly in two weeks and move into the house a week after and then still have to organise broadband so goodness knows when I will be back online properly. Since I have no access to the computer of course there have been 101 things I have wanted to ask about etc. Never mind. We are all well and coping despite continued night wakings. Have to dash as dd2 is getting very wriggly. I miss you.
Take care and bye for now xxx

Happy Birthday Trib.Have a fantastic day.

Hi Skyler-Nice to hear from you.Hope all goes well with the move.x

I've got a friend and her baby coming over for lunch.We were meant to be going to the mum and baby group but her little boy naps in the morning and oscar has his nap in the afternoon,Grrrrrrrr!

Cheers people. I feel rubbish. Dh is very, very unwell and I prob won't see another human being (other than ds) all day. (Oh no, tell a lie, I have to go and talk to the helpdesk people - with ds - to get a new security thing that enables me to log into the work network from home as mine has mysteriously vanished). Sorry to be down about it but am utterly miserable, to be honest.

On the plus side, so far at least no-one has broken in, stolen everything of value and then torched the house, so that counts as a positive! (That was my birthday in 2003, happy days)

It's a girl!!! Born 9.27 this morning. Have got a massive smile on my face now

So yes, she's sharing your birthday Trib - happy birthday to you too!

How lovely MrsW! I insist she is given Tribpot as a middle name Hope your sis is well.

Ok im feeling beter today, william didnt sleep very wel last nite, but the HV came yesterday and my tests marks were very low or high i dont know how they mark it, we talked, and i think ive accepted its going to take me some time to feel better, I also faced the fact that i had thought of not been here anymore, and told my hubby too, wow that was really hard, so im really facing real life now, its hard when all ive wanted for the last couple of years is what ive got now, a lovely baby and a very caring hubby, wow i d sound sad but i do feel a lot better today, the HV is comming bk next tuesday shes great very supportive.

Congrats on your niece Mrs W.Any name yet?

She's called Emily. Lovely name

EYM, you are doing such a big and brave thing facing up to all of this and talking to people honestly about how you feel because it's not easy. Sending you a massive hug.

Hi Lua, that?s so funny that you just saw me on Saturday. Much as I?d like to imagine I was all glammed up with sparkling make up and fabulous shoes, I suspect you saw me with a shopping trolley in my hand, in my jogging bottoms, no make up, looking knackered. Definitely give me a call??

2happy, that is really shocking about your useless surveyor. I?m not surprised you?re angry. No offence taken at all. My mum?s partner wasn?t there in his professional capacity, just doing me a bit of a favour. Did you get a full structural survey? Like Bubb says, is there any comeuppance for not spotting any of that?

Oh yeah, My DS is cat-fixated as well. When he sees her, he kicks his little legs and chunners to her. He also does that grabbing thing at her fur, grabbing handfuls of it and then proceeds to eat it. My cat is part-persian, so I then spend the next 20 mins laughing and pulling fur out of his mouth. He doesn?t seem to car though. She, however, looks at him with utter contempt and suspicion. Poor girl!

Trib, happy birthday and big hugs to you. Sorry you are feeling low today. I?m sure your DH?s heart was in the right place re the flowers and card and if he could have done, he would have. I?m not going to go into what I get for my Christmas/birthday pressies, as I?ll be on a rant from here to eternity???

Auntie Mrs Wed, congratulations!!!! How lovely!! Welcome to the world baby Emily!!

Well, I suppose I should go and do some work now. Sigh.

Take care all of you?.

congratulations mrsW, welcome Emily thats a lovely name.
quiet day, popped out to pick food for dinner, its nippy!

dd is clearly of the visual generation she looks at the radio when songs start and keeps staring if she likes it, oddly does not do the same with talk radio, she has been Bf in the morning to the sound of Today, maybe The Humf does not do it for her
she does like cbeebies teletubbies, storymakers and something special are favourites.. mister tumble, and she likes the weather report, for some reason

ok off to cook root veg and bean casserole

Mrsw - congrat

Trib - Happy Birthday

well this is my current problem:

DH's mum (53) had cancer and passed away Aug 2004, DD1(now 3) didn't cope very well, and went through a long phase of refusing to admit she was ill, we think because she thought it meant she would go to the hospital and never see us again. She seems to have gotten over it and has recently let us know she has a headache or tummyache, not much but a huge step for her, before she was quite obviously in pain but won't admit it.

So the dilema we now face is that DH's dad (55) hospital and its not looking good, he has had another stroke, he might pull through but then again he might not. We want to prepare DD but we don't want a repeat of the last time she lost a grandparent.

I've added the grandparents ages because they aren't old, which was the line we took with the dog when she died.

Can anyone advise?

hi katz, sorry to hear that, its a hard one.
i have only had some training supporting people going through bereavement who have learning disabilities.

i think the principles are the same but these people should be able to offer advice

winstonswish.org.uk sorry cant work out link. i like their work, its one of my favourite charities, hope it helps

Oh lummox. If it was that easy, no-one would have PND, would they? Sorry but I really am very down today, and having a beautiful Junie baby doesn't seem to be a let-out clause for everyone else.

Katz, what a tricky situation and sympathies about your FIL. I don't know what to suggest as when I lost grandparents it was when I was an adult, and none of my nephews and nieces have lost one yet, I think. I might check in with my sister, she is wise in the ways of children.

Trib happy birthday!!!

this is for you

I'm a lady of leisure, so if you need some adult company for a coffee next week, I 'll be happy to come for coffe or lunch in Leeds. Let me know if that would be helpful....

Hi everybody!
Nice to see everybody de-lurking for a day!

MrsW - Congratulations on becoming an aunt! and wellcome Emily!

Jonah- I'm sure you looked great. I saw you on passing. You, Dh and DS were getting out of a car, that's why I didn't say hello. Congrats on selling the house! Any luck in finding your dream house? Fingers crossed for you!

DS has also been developing such a great personality, is a greattime in babyhood, isn't? Another cat and sibling lover here...

Katz - tell yourDD she is lucky she has hairto begin with. My DD still has none, so I am actually the one that gets upset when DS pull the little she does.... Sorry, I can't help with advice regard your FIL.

EYm, I secong giddy, the hardestpart is to admit to your feelings. You take care of yourself now!

Giddy - lalalala!

Thanks lua - lovely!

Will CAT you about lunch, perhaps we can lure MrsW away. This week MrsW and I haven't even pretended we might be able to juggle our busy lives long enough to meet up, which seems like negative progress

i might make a lunch, in leeds, especially if its a sat/sun then i can leave DD1 at home with her daddy and bring DD2, plus i think there are cheapy train tickets to leeds at the mo
