Janey I'm seeing the GP Monday couldn't get an earlier appointment as fully booked :(

Was more positive about the fact it's not me and it could be what I've been saying all along! Spectrum disorder.

Figgygal · 24/04/2013 08:58

I'm ill DS is ill definitely no work today

janey223 · 24/04/2013 11:32

Hope you get to see a good one Smile

Aw figgy Hmm hope you both feel better soon.

Monkey is currently obsessed with planes, considering keeping the windows and curtains closed to prevent the constant screaming to see them. Damn flight path!

QueenofClean · 24/04/2013 13:25

Aww Figgy hope you feel better soon.

I'm not sure if Darcie has a spectrum/sensory problem It's one of the possibilities that explains stuff. It's prob just Darcie and the way she is, it's tough.

Aethelfleda · 24/04/2013 20:44

I have an absolute mountain of mending/nametaping to do tonight plus we have three more Ikea bookcases to assemble. Send a search and rescue team out if I'm not back by tomorrow morning.,.

How you doing figgy?

Huzzah for sleep! Whole night without teeth issues, we are all mega perky chez Bored!

mopsytop · 25/04/2013 08:17

Hope you guys feeling better figgy.

Hope you're OK Queen.

Oil how are things?

Minimopsy just climbed onto the armchair by her cot and got into her cot in the ten seconds my back was turned. At least I'm assuming that's how she got in, can't see any other way!

QueenofClean · 25/04/2013 09:23

I feel sick and emotional. Am sat waiting to see my GP! She's running behind already - working in a GP practice doesn't bode well when I see her walk in the door late which means her first patient was late in :(

Sky didn't sleep well last night so tired but not sleepy tho.

Had huge ruck with DH this morning he's having trouble dealing with my emotions and 'being highly strung' :(

EasilyBored · 25/04/2013 10:13

I hope your GP can help queen

GaryBuseysTeeth · 25/04/2013 11:38

Hope GP is helpful Queen.
Sorry so many seem to be having relationship troubles atm.

Aethel, I do not envy your IKEA furniture building! Hope all the bits & bobs were there.

mopsy, Grin hopefully she can put herself to bed now!

Hope you have a better day today figgy.

DS has learnt how to flush the toilet, which is great fun if I'm still using it...what with his dishwasher, washing machine, tv & tumble dryer operating skillz he's almost doing well enough to not need me anymore!
He's currently obsessed with cleaning, spill some water on the floor & he grabs a tea towel & mops it up!

QueenofClean · 25/04/2013 12:20

Seen GP & understand why they were running late is because the clinical system is down...we have the same system where I work and it's completely crashed :(

Anyway, she had referred me for psychological therapy as she thinks that will help me to change my thinking slightly and scare any demons away...have appt in 2 weeks for a follow up & to possibly talk about meds - reluctant to give due to never being on them before. Thanks all.

Aethelfleda · 25/04/2013 15:52

Glad you got to see GP, queenie, make sure you do go back. Keep us all posted (if it helps, of course).

Glad you've got a plan in place queenie.

PMS+hunger+assholeworkpeople=RAGE! I'll be sat in the corner stuffing cake in mymouth while crying.

Figgygal · 25/04/2013 19:36

Thanks all am feeling better sore still raging but better than was!! Hope ur sessions help qoc

Am awaiting an update from oi and bjr it's been Easter since we heard from her hope u ok both if u lurking!!

Figgygal · 26/04/2013 06:45

Buggering balls my last AF started 19th march dh and I were reckless 1st April still no sign of AF hoping it's late because of my cold but starting to worry because I know we were careless.....it only takes once doesn't it Blush if I am dh will go crazy he's so stressed about work and fact he's making no money and probably needs to go get a job and give up on self employment if we throw that into the mix he will have a breakdown
He's away over the weekend I might test later and if it is + have a few days to think about what to say process that information if it's - I will feel a bit better.

Craaaap

QueenofClean · 26/04/2013 07:03

Thanks ladies

Figgy hope you get the result you want. If it is +ive sure everything will be fine Smile

Feeling a little better this morning - more relaxed - not entirely tho!

Work this morning and having my barnet highlighted and trimmed this afternoon in peace as Sky will be at nursery this morning then with Grandma this afternoon. Darcie at school till 3 and going to a friends for tea Smile then we are out for a meal for a friends birthday tonight. So fx it's a good day for me. Smile

SevenReasonsToSmile · 26/04/2013 11:55

figgy hope its the result you want. I know the timing isnt ideal but it would solve the issue of you wanting another and trying to convince him.

Hope you're ok queen and get the answers you're looking for soon.

I feel awful today, exhausted and I was violently sick in the night and when I got up this morning. DH is convinced it means I'll go into labour soon, I'm less than a week away from when I had the DCs now.

Figgygal · 26/04/2013 15:15

Blush I knew it I'm pregnant!! I don't know what to think I'm shockeD my heart is racing i can't even tell him until he gets back on Monday so u ladies r only ones that know. Must have been 1st April so that's almost 4 weeks.

Typically I have been feeling like I don't want to have another one because although I'm only 32 i just feel so tired my career is only just where I want it to be too. We have debated it a lot and had the feeling that we would debate it so long it would get to being too late and that would be the decision made 4 us but apparently not.

Fuck!!

QueenofClean · 26/04/2013 15:19

Figgy, take your time over the weekend to think about what you want. It maybe a shock to DH but sure he'll be fine. :)

Sat in the hairdressers child free Smile

Figgygal · 26/04/2013 15:56

Ok ive Had a cry and just going to have to get on with things until monday and definitely not drink that bottle of wine I was eyeing up in the fridge.

Of course now all i can think about is that I've been taking cold and flu tablets for 4 days, I was out drinking last weekend, we gave away ALL of DS clothes up until about 12 months, his Moses, swing, toys etc, I sold my mat clothes and I even gave my midwife back my green pregnancy book as said wouldn't be needing it again. Gaaaahh!! Dh is gonna go bonkers!!

mopsytop · 26/04/2013 16:17

Firstly figgy don't worry at all about the tablets/wine. It will be fine! It is so common not to know you are pregnant and drink etc so it can't possibly be an issue.

I hope you manage to get your head around it over the weekend. I remember last time we both found out at roughly same time and were the first on the thread! I hope soon you can feel some of the excitement that you felt then. And they'll be a lovely age to play together. And your career will be fine, look.how amazingly you've done while juggling the first year of parenthood-a promotion AND another job offer. You will be well able to cope.

Figgygal · 26/04/2013 19:47

Thanks mopsy and queen I think worst thing is having to wait 3 days to speak to dh about it he will be a few days behind me processing the news but I'm not telling him over phone or ruining his weekend

SevenReasonsToSmile · 26/04/2013 20:02

figgy ((hug)). mopsy is right though, it's obvious how well you're doing with your career, you'll have a lovely age gap and will cope fine. I know you're probably in a huge state of shock but you'd been umming and ahhing for ages about wanting another, at least this way the decision has been made for you (provided of course it really is what you want). And remember however DH reacts he is equally responsible for this situation.

My mum came and helped me get the DCs ready for bed bless her as DH is on a split shift today. I'm feeling better than earlier, I haven't been sick since this morning but keep having stomach cramps, and exhausted, though its probably not helped by barely eating anything today.

NorthernChinchilla · 26/04/2013 20:04

Whoa! Figgy! That's amazing news whichever way you take it. Can I offer a tentative congratulations...?
I think you're doing absolutely the right thing thinking it through. Give yourself a few days to adjust to the news, and then you'll be in a better place to tell DP.
I totally echo mopsy in that do not worry about wine/tablets, etc- I think it's about 50/50 for pregnancies ref. whether they're planned or not, so you can imagine that a high proportion of that 50% will have taken/eaten/drunk something in the early days.

Bugger about all the baby stuff though.....

And you'll cope. And you can remind your DP it takes two to be wild....

We'll need you to post regularly seven just to check you're not off having a baby somewhere Smile. Can't believe our next Dec '11 baby is going to land soon. Bit stuck, as don't know whether to say I hope it's a tummy bug or I hope it's labour!

Glad you're feeling a bit better QoC. Don't feel scared with the tablets, if you need them, they can really do the trick- but great that you've got the psychological therapy too.

As usual, been a git of a working week. Always feels like a triumph to have have made it to the end, especially as we've been away so it takes a week of evenings to get on top of the shopping, washing and tidying kitchen's still a tip though as well.

Tonight's 'fun' will be to draft our little project plan for moving house. Will ID all the jobs, what we need to do and when. Any experts out there- aethel and Oi, I'm looking at you!- please feel free to post or PM your best tips! Plus anyone else that's successfully sold and bought recently, join in and help me stop being overwhelmed by it all....

janey223 · 26/04/2013 21:47

Glad you're feeling a bit better queenie.

Figgie hopefully it'll be a girl then and you'd have had to rebuy it all in girlie colours anyway, right?

Monkey has started taking me to bed when he's tired, it's so cute! He grabs my hand, takes me to the bedroom, closes the door and climbs into bed
