March '13 - The One With The Babax

[Plonkysaurus]

New thread , and I can assure you all, it'll be a corker.

plonky amazingly we had another night of sleeping through from 9.30pm until 6am. Again no dummy returns or milk. If he does it again tonight it will be a habit I hope. Enjoy playing with your new gadget.

any I hope you are recovering well. I will be googling what it is though.

We have had a lovely Sunday just spending time together and I am even happier because I am off work this week. I am trying to use up all on my leave before the new financial year. I have a marble cake baking in the oven to have with a cup of tea later.

Lovely feeling yummy when you've got a week off. I do remember you dating you were in social work. Do you enjoy it or is it mainly stressful? I work about 26/28 hours and will do the sake after DC2 I imagine. That's enough for me at the moment!!

Computer sounds good plonk. Any testing yet..?? I won't ask again as I know it can be annoying if TTC. But sending hope!

Yes eco where are you? Was the disco good? And worse hope the nanny is still going well. She sounds hard working. Hope you're getting some sleep too.
any was that your cake I saw a pic off? Looked amazing. Still trying to decide on mine, any easy ish ideas welcome. So far it will either be a vehicle. (!) or some sort of animal..
Long days at work this week, boo. Anyone heard from gerry? Was wondering how Krakow went. Hope everyone well.

Well good news Shattered. I did a test this morning and got an extremely faint line. I'm going to wait a couple of days and test again as there's a good chance its an evaporation line/I'm willing myself to see it.
I haven't told DH yet as, well he's at work, and it's not fair to tell him then expect him to go and talk to a man from Mozambique about precast concrete. And last time he declared the faint line to be 'about as good as a negative'. Can everyone think happy thoughts because I have it on good authority that it can make a real difference

Any birthdays being celebrated today?

plonky a faint line IS a line. Here is a very early congratulations from the yummy household.

shattered I love working with people but the bureaucracy is very stressful.

Oooh Plonk! Holding breath and thinking good vibey thinky thoughts.

I've got a sweaty face!!

She couldn't even finish her coffee and biscuit earlier!!

OMG Plonky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A line is a line you know. I'm so excited for you

So that's three of us. It's like 10 green bottles.... who's next????!

More like five German bombers round here, as DH has done his delightful 'I can see it but I can't trust it' routine.

Don't suppose you could send your lovely house lady up yonder to put ds to bed and put some food in my wide open trap?

plonk! Just back from work and put toddle in bed and logged on to see this!!! Baited breath for tmrw am!!!!!

I could try Plonky, but lovely though she is her duties do not extend to toddle bedtimes! New born settles are fine, but the horror that is a two year old tantrum... that's a mummy job!

Actually on the subject of bedtimes, massive massive improvement here - we've gone from between 10-11pm to 8.30pm tonight. I can't believe it. I hate to say it but I think the problem has been largely DH related. He stirs her up with mad play late at night, and then keeps her up until about 9.30pm because 'she needs to be tired'. Me, I am boring as anything after 7pm, and take her up early. First night she was a nightmare, last night she was asleep by 9pm, and tonight she got into bed by herself after story time and went to sleep in about 15 mins.

Big day today - the toddle is officially a big grown up girl and has moved up to the 2-3 year old room at nursery. She loved it. Where have the past two years gone?!

As for Babax, he's v exited about the possible new addition to our fold

Plonky! I am unfamiliar with crouching over pregnancy test sticks and nervously hoping for yes lines so can't pretend to know how you're feeling but I imagine it's pretty head spinny. I am excited for you and hoping for a yes too. Keep us nosey bags in the loop x

Soooooo..... Checks watch having had own morning wee. (I know tmi, but I didn't have a stick to po ).

Waits with wotta for update...

plonk we KNOW you're up! Come on!!

Yeah Plonk. Dish!

No denying it, I'm off cat litter duty until November!

I've tried to post for times but will try a picture separately this time to save you all refreshing like mad.

Congratulations plonky! Such exciting news!

A new baby in time for Christmas? Lovely! congratulations plonk and man-plonk and toddlesaurus. How do you feel? What has been going through your mind? Are you well other than the tiredness. Shattered will be pleased to have a comrade. to the plonks

Hooray for happy Plonks all round!

Aaaaaaagh!!!! I've been away from here an age and come back to such exciting news! Nice one Plonky!

Thanks everybody I should've known on Saturday when I cried my eyes out at The Voice.

eco yep according to the nhs online calculator, babysaurus will be due around November 12th. How do I feel? Well that's can of worms! Physically I feel absolutely fine, completely normal aside from the odd episode of nausea. I had no sickness with DS, just constant nausea until 20 weeks. If I get that this time I'll be absolutely fine. I think I feel better than I did at this point with DS.

Emotionally is a bit different!! I'm amazed we've got a BFP so quickly. I feel reasonably ready for it all but have a nagging feeling that we need to extend our home. Also money, and how our timing was a little misguided considering I'm attempting to start a business! Oops! At least DH has a job this time, and my job is much better. I think we'll be sound. I'm terrified of putting on a lot of weight again, failing to breastfeed and becoming depressed and anxious, but actually I think if I exert a bit of self control, keep busy, and seek help before it's too late all of that can be avoided. I hope, anyway!

Worse and Shattered please tell me you were/are too busy to even really focus on your second pregnancies? I want this one to fly by!

plonky that is great news. I am so happy for you. Take care of yourself and plonkybaby.

Plonky I'm thrilled for you, and rest assured I can guarantee you will be juggling far too many balls to devote any head space what so ever to being pregnant. At least that was my experience. Aside from an initial feeling of guilt about Worselet, and how she'd adjust, it just sort of got absorbed into life and I didn't think about it. Put it this way I had to use a calendar if anyone asked me how any weeks I was, and I got through a grand total of one month's worth of antenatal vitamins over the entire 9 months

It's wonderful. I'm exhausted, look a mess, and have bags under my eyes to rival Mrs Beckham's luggage, but I'm just so very very happy

What a lovely post Worse, thank you. You said exactly what I wanted to hear.

How's Dd's bedtime routine coming along? Dh is going to shit a brick when he realises!
