December 2012: Everyone loves nap time.

[halestone]

Started a new thread for us before we run out of room.

She's fine thanks beasty there wasn't even a mark!

We've had a busy day and I really cba to do dinner. We've got risotto which both dc love so at least it'll all get eaten.

WL sounds horrible I hope it's short lived.

nutella 3 ladies from my ante natal gang with dd1 were in hospital at the same time having their dc2s.

I did indeed get a peaceful (and delicious salad with home made croutons) lunch and a few jobs done. Dds all been good, all right with the world over here.

Beasty i hope you and DP get to go out for a meal.

Nutella, is it possible to make some time for you to relax? I hope your ok i can't imagine being pregnant and having a toddler hats off to you.

WL, how is T now?

Spotty i can never be bothered cooking.

Me and DP went to view a house tonight and now both have our FX we get it. Its PERFECT in every way the rent is slightly higher than we wanted to pay but for what we would be getting we're willing to pay.

Fx for you hales. T is 17 months now, and today she was just lovely (to be fair she mostly is) - she loved swimming and has new words coming every day. Today she had been saying 'stuck' a lot, especially when her little toe was poking out while I was repeatedly trying to get her sandals on! She also got the mug my mum tends to use out of the cupboard today and said 'manma'.

hales that's sweet of you thanks . DH does a good job of letting me slob relax on the sofa in the evenings. My mum has also offered to come for a visit. Nice in theory but it does seem to make DS a bit stressed and clingy

DS is reeeeaaaaally tired tonight. He has had a cry and a whinge since I put him to bed. Right now it sounds like he is almost settling. I think he's a bit hot and his top canines are very very nearly there. Poor chap.
It was too hot for me today so we did nothing much until late this afternoon when I let DS loose in his mini paddling pool in the garden I love having a garden!

It's been stormy here today Nutella less than three weeks until our holiday though!

Poor dd fell over again today re opening a cut on her leg for the third time and ruining her my favourite flowery leggings. I feel so sad for her

It is glorious Nutella. We have a shared garden now (although lots of littles around, who O and I will miss) but o the 30th we'll finally move in to our flat with it's own garden! will it actually have all the decoration finished though, who knows??

Poor dd spotty..

spotty poor dd my dd2 is a it like that - somehow it's always her that gets hit - tonight she caught her shoulder on the stair gate and had barely recovered when DH was changing the battery in the smoke alarm and it fell off the ceiling and hit her on the head!
After bedtimes I'm off to vote and have a quick run. I need to make sure my vote is cast against nasty ukip.

Morning all. Don't get much time to read or post now, as DS is desperate for my phone/iPad/laptop. Trying to keep up and in the loop though.
5 weeks till I'm due, and 6.5 weeks till I'll definately have her (section/induction date). It's all getting a bit real now, though at the same time I still don't have hospital bag packed or much stuff here. Dad is coming to visit next week and bringing the crib and clothes and things, so I guess after that we should be pretty sorted. Really looking forward to having him here to help with DS. DH seems to have forgotten making babies is hard work - he said the other day that I'm only allowed to complain about being more tired that him when he has more lay ins than me.

DS is at least being good recently, though woke at 5 this morning. He went back to sleep quick, but I couldn't. So, a long day today.

Hope you get the new flat hales.

Of course it'll all be decorated and lovely utopian.

Hi everyone, I'm home! Landed at Heathrow at 5am yesterday. Went to bed at 8:30pm. Just lying in bed with a sleeping DS, he's so scrummy I could eat him.

He was a bloody nightmare in the night though, he repeatedly threw himself off the bed headfirst and he's making up for lost time last week and is ravenously hungry. He had 3 meals plus snacks at nursery, ate everything in sight last night (fruit pouch, goodies carrot crisps, biscuit, satsuma, nectarine, mini potato waffles and some of my chips) and then had 2 pints of milk in the night I don't dare say no though as he didn't eat for about a week.

Poor DD Spotty she's really in the wars.

Hope DD is feeling better WL.

Fx your house goes through Hales, very exciting. And I'm glad yours is nearly finished Utopian, that seems like it's taken forever.

Poor you Stacks, it's bloody hard being that pregnant without a toddler to look after. I can't imagine how tired you must be.

Is the new nursery a nice one Beasty? It must be hard moving him if he's happy there but easier than if he was a bit older. Hopefully he'll get into that school too so he can keep the same friends throughout now.

Oh and I forgot - I was changing DS' nappy last night and he picked up the wipes, got one out and wiped his own bum I'm not sure how I feel about that. Seems very grown up!

A likes to wipe his own nose.

We need to look at the nursery again when the school children aren't there. It has a good ofsted, but I don't know much about it. But yes, he'd probably know a few people who would go up to the school with him (and he's as certain of getting a place as we could be).

DD has a UTI. She didn't like the Dr, she said he looked like a stupid wizard. And the medicine is a horrid liquorice flavour one.

Good luck with the house Hales.

Stacks tell your DH that because of how unbalanced you are hormonally right now he should be very very nice to you! -otherwise he needs a big smack. I hope he was joking about the being tired thing.

hales so excited for you and DP! Fx for you.

willyou when DS eats like crazy I let him. I guess he knows what he needs. My mum is amazed at how much he can eat. We're sure he has hollow legs

crazy wizard doctor!
T is poorly she's been coming down with something for a few days and yesterday and today was super clingy and miserable. She's been asleep in her pushchair already for nearly an hour. I'm sure she'll wake when we head for the library rhyme time - I'd skip it but dd2 really wants to go and it's all we've got planned today other me trying to tame the beast that is my house.

R eats like a horse, I really don't know where he put it. He grew 4" - 10cm - between 15 and 18 month checks

That's some growing pidj! willyou I guess he's just making up for lost time. T is not a massive water but today has outdone herself and eaten virtually nothing. Tbf she's obv been feeling crappy and has demanded a lot of boob. No house taming done and I'm exhausted. Homemade curry for tea then bed bed bed!
How's the jet lag willyou?

I am jetlag free! I think I had it all going out, never really adjusted so an fine now I'm home.

I think j has chickenpox. Hid cousin had it 10 days ago and he's got a mild raised rash all over. I hope not but I suppose now is as good a time as any.

You'll know in about twelve hours WillYou. You can get some good stuff for it now.

Dp has pissed me off ever since he got home. He didn't do the washing up from last night so I had to do it when I got in from work (he was at work too but I left before him and he should have done it last night yet the sink was full of dirty dishes I'm cold water ), he didn't post the letter I left on top of all his work stuff (he knew what the letter was) which will delay us getting £50 and when I asked for help with the meal planning which I do every bloody week he gave three crap suggestions then got in a strop when I asked for more

So anyway I've come to bed. Sorry for mememe

I keep losing this thread at the moment!

Hello everyone.

Yay willyou! As you say, if he has he has and he'll get it sooner or later. It's late in the year for it though.
spotty I feel your pain, DH never contributes to meals in any way. I've given up as it always leads to a massive row.

fod!! Hello! Weird I was only thinking about you this evening and wondering how you were getting on!

Yay, found you all! I'll no doubt get lost very quickly again. Getting increasingly broody now, bloody hormones!

Ahh little Ezekiel born in his sac - how amazing!
custard are you Jo? I'm a bear of little (tired!) brain and I can never remember which rl name goes with which mn name!

5 weeks stacks! Eek and yay.. I am in full pg paranoia now, will worry about this one being okay for the next 26 weeks, but you'renearly there.

hales fx for the house (and crossing all else too.)

I always find jet lag way worse travelling East than West willyou, don't know why. Seems to me like it's taken forever too - only 3 months on site but another 3 months battling with the cockface challenging freeholders has rather pushed things. Dh is ecstatic to be almost in!
