October 2012... PELVIC FLOORS!

[Londonmrss]

Ready...
Steady...
And squeeze!

We keep saying we must write our wills but haven't got round to it yet. We have had life insurance ever since we bought our house, just so the other doesn't get lumbered with paying off the whole mortgage alone if the worst happens.

Happy mummy day mummies :)
Im being super enthusiastic as mines been very uneventful. Was chuffed when dh offered to get up with Matt and let me sleep in, only to have it snatched away with dh bringing him to me in bed saying he needed the loo. How does he think I manage all day ffs. Well that was me up and maniacally cleaning up for arrival of his parents. Went to pub across the road Matt screamed so I came home with him and mil leaving boys in pub??????? I then continued to tidy up ready for people viewing the house tomorrow while he chilled out infront of tv. Feel like a mug. Am avoiding Facebook as all mum mates have received cakes, flowers, lovely stuff. Well I got a card so I'm lucky I guess but feel like wind has been taken from my sails.
So pma pma I keep repeating this, it's my bday at end of the month so I'm hoping for better day.
Zara hello :) on wills this is something that I know we need to sort but I need a a kick up bum, have life ins but it needs updating should really get on it.
Gosh this post makes me sound miserable, I'm not and I love dh to bits just guess I'm having a bad day and missing my own mum a bit (passed away suddenly 4 yrs ago) she would of handed me whisky and said 'crack on' haha.
Thanks for warm welcomes :)

yomping well done for how you handled things, it takes guts to call the HV and admit you weren't coping and needed help, so hopefully this will be the start of everything improving for you.

cherry hope your trip went OK. How did DS go on the plane? Hope you didn't have any poonami experiences like Zara's!

smorgs did DH come back with flowers? at engineers not hinking about mother's day! It's not mother's day here until May but farmers are just the same so i'm not holding my hopes up!

Yay for miniFirst going back to sleeping well! Think you deserve some after the mammoth regression!

zara we have been saying for months we must sort out wills etc but not got round to it yet! DH has some life insurance but not enough to cover our f@$%ing huge mortgage so I guess we'd be a bit in the crap! Has been worrying me too lately.... must be the mother bear thing! Oh and did you take a test? Are you the 3rd BFP for the thread???

crazy hope your weekend was better than your Friday. and chocolate needed. A friend is about to pop with no 2, with DS of 15m and is getting rather worried about how she will cope. I'm currently shuddering at the thought of 2 young children so think you deserve a medal!

Angelico hope you're ok

Sorry Londonmrs, I pm'ed you before you posted your second message.

I have posted a few times, but not regularly, so understand what you say .

smile have not taken a test. Because I'm not pregnant. It wouldn't be possible. Come on period... where the fuck are you

Zara it's normal to be irregular after having a baby I think. Unless you have any really obvious ovulation signs more than a couple of weeks ago? Might as well pee on a stick though, no?

zara mine were all over the place!! Went on pill!! They were all over the place ttc!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!! I got a lovely card (which mother bought lol) but very sweet. And some half dead tulips as I think they'd been kept in a dry cupboard. Possibly since Friday.

Ride went well!! Went at a fast pace!! Just need to gt the horse fitter or as fit as she was!! And the rider more so!!!

Up again Urgh. Can I ask you ladies how you handle this, he cries o comfort him keep being told I should be leaving him to cry but this seems so mean. My friend has a 10 month old and for dat time naps she sees him yawn puts him in cot and bingo he's asleep.....I try this and I'm faced with crying angry little man. Humph if this other tooth doesn't hurry up grrrrrrrrrr
Babble babble babble

Hi slightly nah if DD cries I pick her up and cuddle. Everytime. Well almost, sometimes she cries for 20secs when she wakes up, finds her thumb and is asleep again quickly, but any more than that I comfort her and shove thumb in mouth . But if it's just a moany grizzle (does that quite a bit as she's going to sleep) then I leave her for a few mins, go in for a cuddle and shhhhhh, then leave again. Don't listen to people who tell you to leave him to cry if you're not comfortable with it, the more you comfort and reassure him now, the less you'll have to do it when he's over 2!

Happy belated Mother's Day everyone. I had a lovely day. Got a card and chocolates and was made a lovely roast. LO had a really long nap so I put my feet up at dh's insistence and he and ds1 did the housework. I wish everyday was mothers day!!
On the subject of wills, we don't have one in place but we really do need to but I'm sure between work and my mortgage insurance there's life insurance in there some how. I do need to check.

I pick up little one if he's crying Slightly, but if he's just babbling or grumbling rather than crying I put on Ewan the sheep and use the toilet. By the time I come back its usually clear whether he's going to settle down or not. Dh has found that by rubbling his cheek thats closest to the mattress with the back of your fingers works well to get him back to sleep. But that's at night. During the day I pick him up if he cries or grumbles straight away.

My past three periods were spot on regular. Which is why I'm like

I know I said I was broody but this makes me realise I'm really not!! Broody in my head, not in my pants!!

Going to wait a few days until I pee on a stick.

slightly it's definitely not recommended at this age to leave them to cry. if they're crying, it's because they need you. comfort is a need as much as anything else! as I understand it, when there is a difference between 'want' crying and 'need' crying (ie 'i'm ill and I need my mummy' and 'i want to play with that toy even though it's midnight) then it can work but at the moment, it's all need! so even though it's hard, you're doing everything right!

Zara I think I've got your period this morning. 11 weeks after my last one. Stupid body.

Slightly he is probably not ready to self-settle yet. BabyCava did for the first time for her day nap on Sat, she is 20 weeks (put her in cot dummy for a minute and she was off). Otherwise I always pick her up when she cries, but can now tell the difference between want cuddle cry and I am in pain cry. It is hard work but it will come eventually. I believe they do it at their own pace.

Ah so pleased you guys pick up too, Mil keeps saying leave I keep saying he's too little but hubby is starting to believe his mum's advice I think....must stand firm. He's defo crying out of discomfort at night his teeth are a bloody nightmare so lots of cuddles. Mind you was so tired last night I thought I'd got up but couldn't settled him turns out I was dreaming and he was crying....shit! Never moved so fast think I'd have beaten bolt in a race ;)
So it blizzarding here :'( going out for a walk maybe not best idea.....still next yr we could go sledging :)
Happy Monday :)

First - the group is set to secret. No-one but us can even find out it exists, let alone see any activity. Don't worry :).

have pm'd you first

Feel crap today and don't know why. Feel a bit sick and got very tearful this afternoon

hi all, awful week end, me and DH both got some nasty virus which sucked out all our energy and left us exhausted.

plus I dropped my phone down the loo so had to get a new one! DH really not impressed, my last phone got put through the wash, and the one before went in the bath. And last yr on holiday I dropped our camera in the sea.

Good job I was too ill to move from the bed yesterday!

hope u feel better, cheesy. slightly, i am not a fan of letting her cry, but yomping inspired me to wait & see if she really needs me before i get her up....so, i dont get up when she 'chats' & there is also a cry/grizzle she'll do, i think when she is in light sleep, but goes back off to sleep in a minute or so...tend not to intervene for those...& she often cries when going to sleep...i shh & stroke head or rock pram

Has everyone upped sticks and moved to fb? Seems v quiet on here..
