GT you are awesome!

Sophia in front of log burner or aga in this house. I have no tumble.

Happy birthday petitest raleuse! PR I hope you feel better today it must be horrid with that call hanging over you but try to focus that your worry and stress won't change the outcome.

Sophia we used to put the airers in front of the Rayburn - the Rayburn also heated rads (and the water tank ouch!) to thermonuclear temperatures (the joy of solid fuel heating) so they were always an option in the dreek winter days weeks when you couldn't dry stuff outside. Is your new place underfloor heating / heat pump heated?

Well was it a) me not having my weekly Mars bar, b) his tooth finally cutting, c) him cracking the baby walker, d) his bug fucking the fook off, e) putting him in a short sleeve vest or f) just pissing because? - but he slept 8.30 til 7.30 with a quick feed at 11.30. Huzzah!!!! Piss off growth spurt or whatever you were! 8 solid hours - I could run the country on that!

Not today Sophia, I'll be going shopping during the week Off to watch an MK Dons football match with my dad and brother today. Really looking forward to it.

So jealous of aga Pikz!

Brilliant yw obviously you are feeling refreshed! We have skirting heating, there was a reason for not underfloor, I think it was quite expense initially, and obviously we wanted something electric so we can use the wind to power it. And we have two wood burners, and we have triple glazing. So we are super toasty. Everyone comments on how warm the house is. And we haven't even used the heating downstairs yet. Just comes on for an hour In The morning in the bedrooms.

I keep meaning to mention det and your brilliant weightless achievement. I am sure you feel v proud and I bet you look stunning. Xx

Happy birthday Petite Payair

Hope all is well apple

GT he's upping your supply, 2-4am is when production is highest. Something to to with being snuggled in a safe cave away from bears and wolves and mammoths

R slept 6-6:30 with a bum change at 4 but was twitchy from 4 due to the only available night nappy being damp. I had to do an emergency wash yesterday because I've been out (working) and dp R's been unsettled early evening so dp has changed him, meaning my 4 day stash lasted 2 and a bit - these nappies last 10+ hours even on my little fusspot. He'd brought the nappies in from the line but not told me they were damp so they were left in the basket night. He knew they were needed, i had to get him to come home on his lunch break to peg them out! then he got up with R having barely seen him all week only to be back claiming he needed milk less than an hour later grumpy tired Pidjie today and we're off to the ILs tomorrow early doors and dp normally works Saturdays so that's my sleep catching up fucked for a few more weeks. He might have earned a v back soon, he's gone to Lidl for groceries and taken R...

Oh, and he popped to the shop last night for bread, milk, pudding and wine and came back sans pudding and wine. I sent him back and he bought haagen dazs but still no wine

Fingers of fried bread are a BIG hit amongst wee bears. Yep we're having a dirty fry up .

That sounds lovely yw I LOVE fry ups but decent bacon is hard to come by here :( and so are proper British sausages. There is a British butcher in France I think i will have to drop by their website and stock up my freezer.

Off to a thanks giving party! Have packed an emergency EK for p but I hope there are some tasty treats for her to nom.

No wine? LTB pp!

S'ok he had bought wine just not poured it - i found it when i had breakfast this morning! Bit academic now as I'm off to see a mate tonight for her birthday so will have wine there

Sorry to bring the thread down..

My worst fear has been confirmed. I had a scan this morning which showed no heartbeat or fetal pole. I should be 7+2 but the scan was consistent with me being 5 weeks. Agreed to an ERPC but have now changed my mind and waiting to miscarry naturally. Feeling very emotional right now.

They offered me another scan in a week but I'm certain of my dates so it would only be prolonging the inevitable.

Ooooo apple enormous hugs and stove hot chocolate. I can' ti aging how you feel but know it must be pretty low.

Why don't you wait. I was certain certain of DD1s dates but they said I was 8 weeks when I thought I was 12. to this day I gave never been able to work it out. Xx

Oh apple I'm so sorry to hear that.

I'm so sorry to hear that Apple, it's an awful thing to go through. When I lost a pregnancy in 2011 they gave me miropristol to start the process and that worked without me needing the eprc. Try and take it easy, it will take a week or two to recover physically. I'll be thinking of you.

Thinking of you apple

Hugs apple. So sorry to hear that

Apple I'm so sorry - it happened to us the cycle before Jonas was conceived so I have a wee inkling of what you are going through. Whatever you decide to do (natural or assisted miscarriage, we opted for natural as the process had begun anyway with a bleed and it wasn't as bad as I'd feared by any means - over with in a few days sadly) just take care of yourself and let others help you too. Keep yourself warm, well fed and well rested. The littlest things make a difference at a time like this. Give C a big cuddle from us. Have you got someone with you?

I was going to blether on about clothes shopping for Jonas but won't now as it was just pointless blether.

Oh apple I'm so so sorry to hear that, sending lots of hugs. Look after yourself xx

Oh Apple I am so sorry to hear that I had hoped for good news for you.
Am trying to post more. O is VERY clingy/not well. He is fighting me writing this. Will be back.

It might be worth giving it a week Apple and going for a re-scan. I know you are certain of your dates - I was on mine with O but a very early scan at 6 weeks showed no HB and put me at 5 weeks. 1 day later there was a HB and put me at 6+2, which I was.

Give it a week perhaps and see what nature does?

You aren't bringing the thread down. We are here for the good AND the bad times. Never feel you can't post what you need to.

:)

My small bit of news is that my GP is rubbish. Didn't like him anyway snotty bastard. But even less now. I have realised O's rash is not impetigo. It's thrush! It's so obvious to me now .

Anyway, I've popped some cannesten on, and the redness is calming. The rash is classic thrush. It's exactly the same as what I had under my boob when pregnant. He's had a runny nose for 8 days, so damp conditions. Perfect for thrush to present.

Duuuuh!

He is NOT happy. I can't get anything done. TV is being used lots, but even that isn't cheering up much, unless he is in my arms. So that's what we have done. Played lots and watched TV. However every little thing that doesn't go his way is just ending in a total breakdown. The wooden spoon is the wrong colour? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Dog looked at me funny? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Mummy is wearing the wrong jumper? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I'm hungry? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I'm full? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

You get the idea.

Frazzled.

And DS1's friend is round for tea. They made cakes in the kitchen. I want to cry. I can't face going in and seeing the attempt at 'cleaning'. :(

But, you know what, I still love being at home with him, grumpy or not. So I'll just pull my socks up and man the fuck up eh!

i have no idea what you're going through (R was about 2 years early but please accept my condolences

apple :( we are here to talk/listen anytime
