April 2015 thread 2 - ruling our lives and stealing our sleep, our babies are growing up already!

[PenguinPoser]

New thread for those of us left here

He's been up and down today, full of it playing with his brothers one minute and then curled up on me sucking his thumb the next.

Shame about the weather, the sun has been out here. It makes a change for sure!!

I hope he is ok today cinnamon

The weather is awful her today cold and very wet so I imagine the soft play centre is going to be busy. We are just waiting for dd to wake up from her morning nap then she needs a quick bath because DH fed her weetabix and yoghurt for breakfast and she is wearing more than she ate

How is everyone? Hope things are more settled in your second week back at work Wineandchoccy!

How is everyone.

Feeling sad

Please please please don't feel bad. It's not your fault, just your initial post. It's so hard on a big group for everyone to be happy and you do have to not always say what you think. I don't always say everything I think for the sake of others feelings. I'm sorry so many have left and I almost feel a loss of the group. Hopefully it will come back together and we'll be OK.

Counselling went well last night I think, although it's left me feeling a bit emotional! Then all of this has made me feel more emotional, other than breaking down and not getting home until late and being tired too. I need to get on but now I've sat down and the babies are sleeping I just want to do nothing.

Gorgeous day here and had a lovely run this morning with my two lovely friends and just enjoyed the forest.

Hoping to see PenguinPoser back here as I see she's left the group and I know she came here when she took a step back before. I don't want to lose touch with those who've gone.

Well it's been a funny old 24hours hasn't it, I didn't comment on the thread apart from stating I like fish finger butties because as my Mum taught me if you havnt got anything nice to say then don't say it! I hope everyone comes back but to many have left and to much was said I think.

Anyway got to go and pick dd up from nursery X

Thought I'd stop by to see if any of those who left were back here. I popped onto the antenatal thread as a nostalgia trip and there's a Jan 17 group. Eeek! Almost 2 years from ours where has the time gone?

Hope you're all doing OK, one day, Cinnamon, I'll dust off my sacaunys and go for a trot. I always enjoyed reading about your runs and your canicross.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a good week.

I thought they might too but no sign so far

Morning, how is everyone? Eek Jan 2017 group that makes our babies seem really old!
I'm working with my boss today and I feel like I need caffeine & matchsticks dd woke up at midnight screaming like she was having a nightmare because she wasn't fully awake I had to rock to sleep which I haven't done for ages.

Actually I'm silently freaking out wineandchoccy!!! I don't feel like I can post in the group at the moment, can't really explain why. Dh is having an emotional meltdown over many realisations from our counselling, a fall out with a close friend, really busy at work with lots of pressure of audits etc. He has been quite down and really feeling sorry for himself for want of a better description. He feels guilty about the way he's treated me, that he's been in the wrong much more than he thought and he's very sorry for all he's done but I feel it's pushing him further away than bringing him closer. He's being more introverted and worrying about it all on his own. Next week we are back to hospital for ds3's 6 monthly check up and I'm starting to worry about that and we went to hospital Saturday and ds1 has to be circumcised. I know it's not a big deal but I feel sad for him and it's still a general anaesthetic and I will have to take time off and be away from ds2&3. Got a busy week this week with meetings tonight and weds, counselling tomorrow and training thurs. we were up at 4-4.30, not sure what's up other than a snotty nose, sorry you were up too and hope it goes ok with your boss.

Hey cinnamon so sorry your all having a tough time, sorry to hear your ds1 needs the circumcision.
I'm please your dh is realising that he's been wrong but so so sorry he's struggling.
I'm sure your appointment will go well next week but I understand you'll be worried.
I'm glad your talking somewhere as we all love and miss you's.

Your an amazing mum.

hello!
hope the hospital stuff goes well x

Hi Cinnamon I'm sorry you are having a rough time at the minute.
Counselling sounds like it has stirred things up for your DH I'm glad he accepts he was in the wrong but I am sorry he is finding things tough.
Ds3 appointment must be a real worry every time but he is so lovely and he has done amazingly well so far
I hope ds1 is ok, and the recovery is quick.
You know where we all are if you want to chat and we would love to support you X

I hope dd sleeps I'm shattered and I have a busy day tomorrow again but day off on Wednesday because I have no childcare MIL is on holiday so we have both taken the day off and are going to the zoo for a belated birthday present.

Hi cinnamon things sound tough, you are such a wonderful mum and give so much time to others just remember to take care of yourself too xx

How was your day at the zoo wineandchoccy?

We didn't end up going to the zoo in the end because the weather was rubbish and didn't feel like spending £40 on getting wet! We went to a museum which had lots of interactive stuff for dd to press and because it was during the week it was quiet so she had a crawl around then we went to a soft play centre and had fish & chips on the way home so a busy but lovely day.

How are you hope you are ok?
Thank goodness it is Friday tomorrow it has been a long week X

Museum sounds good! I'm ok thanks, had a nice weekend. I ran 5k round a local zoo Friday evening and we got access to the zoo for £4 each and had a bbq there. Not a lot Saturday except collect dss and then swimming and tea with my mum Sunday.

How's everyone else doing?

Hi ladies. Marking my place again at last. A BBQ as the zoo sounds amazing cinnamon! How are you getting on? All ok here - trying to work out what to do with the rest of the day once DD wakes from her nap.

waves and place marks too

Hi PenguinPoser and TinyTears!

Yes thanks PenguinPoser, I'm good. Things here have settled quite a bit dh seems a bit more at peace with all the Kings counselling has dragged up for him. I feel at the moment we talk mostly about him with a little about us. She's offered some suggestions about dss but as dh has also apologised about how he's behaved wrt him then I think many of our issues will be resolved anyway. He has now realised that his anger towards me has mainly come from his anger towards others and I've been he scapegoat so we're working on spending some good quality time together. Ds3's snottyness turned into a horrible croupy cough so more sleepless nights and then ds2 got a sickness bug mon which is passed to ds3 weds . Hospital went well, renal function stable so he's booked for an ultrasound in Nov and another apt with his consultant around that time and another one with the specialist from Nottingham in April. She's queried his glucose levels but due to a cock up somewhere along the line it wasn't done so I have to take him to the GP for a prick test, first date they have is 13th June
Nice long weekend to look forward to with a wedding tomorrow, lunch for my mums birthday Sunday and if it's not pouring down the coast on Monday.

Hope everyone in your household has recovered from those nasty bugs cinnamon. It sounds like the counselling is starting to make some progress which is positive. Fingers crossed it keeps heading in the right direction.
Does anyone have any nice plans for the long weekend? We are going to my dads for a BBQ today as its his birthday. So hoping the weather gets out ok this afternoon! Need to food shop this morning as have MiL coming for lunch tomorrow - think I'll do a Sunday roast.

Just realised you had already said your weekend plans cinnamon - sounds good and hole the weather is nice!

The weather wasn't bad for sat and sun, yesterday was dry but very very windy!!!!!! And today I've been soaked walking the dogs! Hope your bbq and roast were good

Morning, it is the 4th day of nice weather here shame I'm at work today and stuck in the car or meeting rooms for most of it.
Sounds like you both had busy but nice weekends I wish every weekend was 3 days! Only 3 weeks to work though then we are on a weeks holiday
