Hi all,
Thought I'd take the plunge and set up a new thread for us...never done it before so hope it works.
Will be back later to update properly, have busy day as DH is off on a track day on his motorbike and DD1 has already been driving me insane, it has only just gone 9am!!! xx

blergh!! The alarm woke me at 6am as back to work and school 
On the brught side cassie has slept thru last 2 nights 
Think shes realised mummy is not getting up and Daddy onky pats her back so not worth waking up!! Was a little worried as Daddy went back to Scotland last night and thought she might wake but it will probably be tonight when she realises hes not here and then works out i HAVE to go in !!!! Well must wake them as they have to be at the cm at 7am!!! Hope all have good daya...hope baby is thinking if making its move soon Highland

Hmmm, A isn't the only one that fights sleep then?!
Hooray to Cassie sleeping through again, do you get that anxiety feeling at night though when your sure you're going to get woken at some point (I do, and never sleep the same for it!) fingers crossed that's her back to her routine now!
No sign of baby yet but only 5 days till due date so won't be long

highland you must be ready to pop now!! Hope everything goes well for you. Don't worry, number 2 is much easier than number 1 until they learn to talk
petty I was wondering how your ttc was going. Hopefully you'll catch soon. 2 months is no time at all! I think I'll be joining you now - we've pretty much decided to go for number 3 (and final!!!( baby. About to get started converting our attic space to give us 2 extra rooms so we have the space. Eeek....
sam how's that naughty young lady of yours with her sleep now? Hope she's not being a pickle any more!!
jojo 15 weeks??? How did that happen?!

Ooh how exciting petty, 2 months is nothing fingers crossed you get a bfp very very soon! and lozario.....it gives me hope that two can't be that much work if you're trying for dc3!! Good luck both of you.
Everso, wish we had family nearby to help, they're all hours away unfortunately or I would be taking advantage of them. Our neighbours are all a few miles away as well so I will have to make a huge effort to get out in the earlyish days so I don't go stir crazy at home all day, hoping for a nice (dry will do) summer so that we can spend time in the garden and pottering around, A hates being in the house all day, he has a stupid amount of energy!
Sam how has cassie's sleep been?? Hope all back to normal at yours so that you can unclench your jaw and get some peace

Am pleased that everyone is back on here - I always check in as I browse mumsnet pretty much every day now that I have the app!!
Well poor Lara has the chicken pox now (DS had it 2 weeks ago) and she's really suffering with it, wasn't too bad at first but this is day 3 and she has a lot of spots now, some really massive ones on her body, and she's had a really high temperature so slept in with me last night as she couldn't sleep Can't wait until we are rid of the pox, it's overtaken our entire Easter hol!! I loaded her up with calpol and piriton so hopefully she will sleep better tonight.
everso thanks for remembering my schools angst - DH won't let me go on about it at home any more!!! We find out provisionally at the end of this week but I think it will be a waiting list game for us. Hopefully we'll get a decent school by September. I have made a decision not to panic ha
petty are you in Splott! I know Splott.
sam Cassie and Lara sound dangerously similar. Can't imagine the carnage if they ever became partners in crime!
highland are you still hanging in there??!!

Sigh, that's me three days over now and feels like the calm before the storm ha ha! Although A has tonsillitis again (on the mend though) he saw a consultant a month ago and is on the list to get them whipped out in next couple of months as we have to go through this every few weeks in the winter
Poor Lara with the chicken pox that sounds miserable for all of you, hope she gets better soon, and at least you won't have to go through it when she's older.
Glad to hear Cassie sleeping better, although ouch to getting up at 5.30 for work 
am slightly envious of those of you who's DCs nap really well, it's a bit of a pain not being able to get some rest myself in the day but he generally still goes to bed at 7 so can't complain!
Hopefully will be back in next couple of days with some exciting news....and yes I have a shiny new iPad and mn app so am able to check in a lot easier these days

Fingers crossed highland that baby makes an appearance sooner rather than later. Poor A with his tonsills!
Sam & Loz yes I am moving to Splott! Have you ever heard of a dafter sounding place?
I am always on MN (currently stalking the diy boards) - Arthur is very neglected 
sam26oscar ·
17/04/2013 12:51
poor A tonsilitis is nasty have you tried clary sage highland?? few drops in a warm bath has worked on myself and friends petty i didnt realise Splott was quite so close...thought Cardiff was 2 hrs from me
shame on my geography!!
Thankfully Cassie seems to have turned the corner and is back ti sleeping 12-13hrs ..phew! She was quite close to being sold on ebay
For those not on F.B we are currently in the process of signing a football contract with Bristol City ....v.v.proud mummy!!! ( well done petty on promotion to premiership )
must go and collect cass from c/m now!!

Just a quick update - we got 3rd choice school for DS today Happy with that - 2nd and 3rd choice were about the same and we still have a chance for 1st choice on waiting list. Phew! Have had a few glasses of wine this eve!!!
highlandbird ·
18/04/2013 12:19
Wow Sam, is that contract for your DS?? Very exciting news no wonder you're a proud mummy!!
Lozario, congrats on school news, bet that's a huge weight off your mind, hope L is better too and spots all scabbed over so you can get out and about oh and if you're cracking open the wine have a glass for me too please, seriously missing it right now!
Trying most things to get this baby out....feels like its moved further in if anything, probably been hearing Angus' tantrums and decided it would be nicer to stay in my tummy! Mind you I had him on the fifth day after due date so today could be the day??
Starting to get slightly anxious about the thought of having 2 children and the practicalities as well (bit late to worry I know!) ....anyone have any last minute words of wisdom for me?? Have already bought a present for A from baby but I'm not convinced he's going to let me get away with it that easily!!
