December 2011 - me do it mine self

[TheOnlySeven]

Offers round and

I know it seems bonkers but actually it's about the same as having two in full time nursery so we just sucked it up for that year and now I've one at school it's just not possible to do it any other way and still work. Argh it's all different for everyone but I just hate feeling judged honestly who gives a toss?

Anyway happy weekend all - think you are all ace just the way you are.

Faffin I hope DS is okay this morning.

Northern hope your mum is better really soon.

Kids are so amazingly resilient aren't they? DS is so swollen on his nose, eyes and forehead he looks like something out of Star Trek, but otherwise he's his normal happy chirpy self this morning. So we're heading off to the wedding. Dr called to check on him this morning and suggested taking him for an X-ray because he suspects a fracture, but was happy to just wait and see him Monday seeing as he is fine in himself. My mum will of course whizz him to a&e if that changed though

Glad to hear he's feeling better. Aw!
Enjoy your weekend.

Hope you have a lovely weekend faffin

Really beautiful lovely day here today. Went into town with mum and the DCs, mum bought me some new canvas pumps and a top for my birthday. Then we bought chips and my sister came round who I haven't seen for ages. Stopped at the park on the way home too.

DD1 is now as tall as my 3.5yo neice, at least that explains why I've had to start buying her age 3-4 dresses.

Northen, sorry to hear about your mum, hope she's better soon. Sorry to hear you had such a shit friday. x

Sounds like a lovely memory filled day seven.

at everyone else, we're getting new carpets on Tuesday, should be getting valued at the weekend Starting to really love this place now!

Sorry you'd such a horrid day yesterday Northern

Mum and two of my sisters here this weekend. Soooo lovely to see them and Minimopsy is revelling in the attention!

Morning all. I was interrupted yesterday and have now forgotten all the catch ups. But Northern, your day did sound rotten. Hope your mum gets better soon.
DH and I are going through a rocky patch. I know I'm supposed to work at this but I don't really want to. Half of the time, we exist fairly peacefully, the other half, I am biting my tongue to stop me telling him what a he is.
He just annoys me.
We exist together. Neither of us are happy.
Two weeks in the month we have functional sex because I want another baby.
Hmmm. Not exactly ideal, is it?
I just think, clock is ticking, get pg, worry about everything else later.
He's not a bad guy. At all. I just find him annoying because I no longer love him.
In other news, yesterday the Boi met the Bunny at Hamleys. Most kids were running away, or a bit scared. Not the Boi. He ran up, shook his hand, then went in for the cuddle. Very happy.
(How cool is hamleys, btw?!!!!!)
I have also come to the conclusion that shopping can not be done with Boi. I shall do it all online from now.
Right, better get up for Diddikicks.

Cripes oi that sounds tough does dh ever say anything about how he feels? Does he even notice how things are?

Dh off birding today have to do church duty, get car washed due to that bleedin Saharan sand then DS has a party in local softplay. Really tempted to just come home after do some drawing with DS as its raining out and all alternatives lead to the shops where I will buy DS clothes he doesn't need while I refuse to buy the next size up for me

I think DS might be away to growth spurt he's eating endlessly this weekend yesterday he ate a banana, strawberries, pineapple, an apple an orange and a mini bag of mini cheddars between his meals. The day before was the same but as I hadnt shipped yet it was much less virtuous with biscuits (fig rolls at least) and yoghurts. His shoes feeling a bit tight too.

Oi - have you spoken to DH about your feelings and what his feelings are?

Day 5 of taking 5mg of citalopram so far feeling okay and not too many side effects just feeling tired but no nausea which is good.

Day in my onesie today.

I think the Boi is due a growth spurt. Either that of he's just darned greedy!
Yes, DH knows things aren't good. He's tried to broach the subject twice, but both times when we were in bed, it was late and we were both knackered, and had had wine. I acknowledged that we needed to talk, but said not now, better when we're completely sober. (When we don't have the balls to talk about it.)

oi sorry things are still rubbish. Did relate help at all? Is there anything in particular that annoys you about him or have you reached the point where just everything bothers you? I imagine he's probably feeling very low if it's obvious you only want sex with him when you're fertile, I know mine would be.

For those of you not on fb after just 6 days on steroids DS jumped clear of the floor for the first time today. So so proud but I've had a little cry, really makes it hit home because it's something that for most parents has no significance, I know I can't remember when DD1 started jumping.

I think relate helped a bit, just as we created the belief that we were making the effort.
I need to make an effort, I know. I'm just so busy with everything else though, it's then difficult in the only time there is left, to "work" again.
I'll try and just be nice, get us through to the holiday (17th May), and hope the time out does us some good.
Me me me.,,. Yawn yawn yawn!
Much more exciting is the giant leap, seven. It sounds joyous!! (With a little tear, but still joyous.) I hope the steroids will continue to help him build some strength.

Hi everyone,

Congratulations Boba! Hope you are feeling well!

Since Friday I've had morning sickness coming and going all day so I think this is a girl (so different from DS). Marmite & watercress sandwiches and fruit are all I want to eat at the moment. DH is being very sweet though and looking after me and DS well!

I hope things get better soon Oi. Would it help to have a holiday or something where you can just be a family and 're-connect'. Sometimes life just gets in the way too much and there are so many distractions it's nice just to be alone sometimes and see each other's good points.

Seven that sounds good :)

Figgy at least he's eating lots of good stuff! I find it quite funny how much they can eat even though they're still so small!

Faffin hope your DS is doing better now, the photo looked so painful!

Hinky some people are just so rude, better to rise above it IMO and be the better person. It's so easy to make judgements on other peoples lives but you never really know. So what if you have a nanny I think it sounds like the perfect solution!

Seven, that's amazing!! Well done that boy!! Was he chuffed?

Chips, feeling worryingly good. A bit snappy, boobs a bit bigger and my rings don't fit but aside from that not very different! Last day my af could possibly be here is tomorrow so hoping for a proper pregnancy (we've agreed this is my last either way, can't be dealing with anymore losses)

A better weekend has been had- gardening (lots of), having a yesterday in front of evening telly and a take out, and two trips to the park for DS. Actually, I'm shattered as DS insisted on doing about a mile and a half round trip after we'd walked to and gone round the park- boy has a lot of stamina and energy!

Also, he has a new favourite thing. He is obsessed with streetlights, and them being on or not- and he has one particular favourite one on the way to the park, as it's malfunctioning and therefore always on.
Seriously, I'm standing there as he's stroking it, talking to it, showing it the pretty flowers in the verge across the way for about five minutes in a residential street, before wishing it goodbye and heading for the park
Toddlers are weird.

I wish my DC ate that amount of fruit figgy, that's brilliant. I'm working on upping his fruit n veg that's not puree or dried.

Glad you're feeling OK QoC, sounds like steps in the right direction.

Have you had a fun weekend then mopsy, is MiniM worn out with all the attention?!

And so glad to hear that your DS was OK faffin, knew you'd make it to the wedding! Sounds like you're just going to have a few weeks of mortification taking him round that bruised and battered (I fell out of bed aged 5 and gave myself a black eye, my Mum's never forgotten it...). Do let us know what the result is if you do go for the x-ray, though not sure there's too much they can do with a broken nose.

Really sorry things are glum again Oi . It sounded like things were perking up for a while, but it sounds a bit end-of-the-line if you don't love him any more.
Totally agree on the shopping btw, I've not bought any clothes in 9 months as DS cannot be taken shopping!

That's great seven.

Sorry things are rough on the husband front Oi Hopefully holiday will help (if you make it that far!)

Glad weekend was good Northern. Minimopsy had a great time and loved being centre of attention and was at her best. Really cute and funny and affectionate.

Oh and a headache this morning but no migraine ... woo. Still lots of dizzy and some nausea and big boobs. Thinking end of next week it will start kicking off though...

Went for a swim this morning and feel great now. But also starving... in spite of having breakfast beforehand...

Boba how many losses have you had I thought 1 but there's obviously been more? fingers crossed anyway!!

My AF arrived yesterday I knew chances of me being of very minimal but grr anyway.

Grrr figgy :(

How is your husband about work now that he has been a few times?

Been back to dr this morning and he was happy not to have an xray, probably another week or so before swelling and bruising fully gone so he'll see us again then to check the shape of the nose. Fortunately the stool landed pretty square on so he doesn't look too wonky. As you predicted northern I am now having to explain why he looks that way. Already today I have had to tell a few old women at the dr surgery and several of the staff at nursery!

Ooh Faffin hope it goes down soon, DS pushed himself away from the table over the weekend and the chair tipped backwards thankfully DH caught it just before it and DS hit the floor but i thought immediately of you are your stool accident. It can happen so quickly!!

Mopsy he seems ok he has been able to do commute in 45 mins to work and less than an hour home, the people and office are nice and he has a 3 day course this week. He was very optimistic about it all last night but he had been out having fun all day and that always improves his outlook am expecting by Friday he will be in the grumps again.

I am being totally petulant today i want a baby noooooooow, i know by leaving it to next year i get the rest of this year to have fun, get fitter, hopefully go on hols but it doesnt help with 2 close friends having babies over the last few weeks. I am a total green eyed monster and it isnt attractive. Bloody monthly hormones.

It is a bummer when the broody gets going isn't it? No rational thinking helps then.

waves ventures back, but i know it'll probably only last a few days. I'm rubbish!

Big hugs oi i completely understand how you're feeling, it's where I'm at with OH too. I started looking at houses the other day, just not sure if i could afford a mortgage and 2 children on my own. Even though I felt this way pre pregnancy, i decided to have another, then deal with our relationship as i selfishly wanted a sibling for the munchkin.

I've only read this one page, hope everyone is ok
