The 11th Gemini bus - Trudging through the terrible twos

[AGnu]

Thank goodness for those DHs! We definitely would not be able to get things done without DH's flexible schedule and I do get so much help from him with things that would be considered more in my realm of life.

Glad you were able to get in and get the bloods done, pear Hoping for positive news!

Also great news for you Lor! Online course and ovulating. How exciting!

We had family pix done today with a photographer that I know through all the various births that I attended as a student midwife (she does amazing birth and newborn photos!). Poor M would not smile to save her life and my eldest decided that he was going to be the photo director, and #2 decided that he just could not look at the camera... overall I'd say that was a success Interested to see what these bad boys turn out like.

Wowsers just taking me ages to catch up!!!
Fx we are looking at implantation bleeding pear?! It must be really getting frustrating now, I can still remember the tears at others pregnancy announcements
All getting close to our moving, looking for exchange in a week fx and then no one need to be jeleous over our holiday announcements as we will be too poor for ever although we will have a beautiful house. Daunted by all the work as I'm just so lazy at the min so tired at the end of the day to do anything never mind all this batch cooking etc poor kids have had way to much egg and beans if late
Fruss how are things with dh hope ok sounds like you've got a lot on your plate.
Anyone potty training yet?? Kitten not having it at all, driving me insane asks for her nappy on tiger was totally dry at this point it's so hard to accept she may not be ready when she can talk so fluently- why!!! I'm not patient
Any one hear from lib and how she's doing?

Kitty - Not that kind of spotting silly The greasy skin type Yay for house move!! Really exciting and summer is practically over so you'll have a whole year to save for a holiday DH was talking to me about future holidays. He hates the thought of going abroad again but doesn't want to leave it too long incase DS becomes a difficult flyer ahhh I just didn't know what to say to this comment. Such a big part of me wants to play along with his crazy idea that DS will become a difficult flyer just so that I get a holiday in the near future

Oh and Kitty I didn't mean to make you feel pants about your lack of time to cook this week I only cooked like a mad lady this morning because I needed to be distracted before eating the entire packet of fingers which I did tonight anyway. Not a good week for me but who can blame me!!

I've now covered myself in sudocrem and I'm off to bed.

Oh and Frus. What a clever idea to hear the TV vibrations. Wasn't your DS scared that it was so loud?

You didn't make me feel bad pear, I feel bad I've let food slide. it's been way more then a week
Ah well face spots is nothing to give up hope for, it's practically a symptom in my book. You eat those fingers hell we all deserve it
And yes to difficult flying- frankly I'd say yes to anything that got me a Holliday abroad
Great idea on vibrations frus, how did she find it?? Fx doctors can see what they are dealing with hopeful your word will count aswell if you can describe the alarm incident etc?

Oh lordy, let's not talk about flying with children, please! Dreading every single 6 hours in the air plus the 1 on either side of the fight with getting situated and then getting e v e r y t h i n g back off the plane again to get off with 3 sleep-confused kids and getting through customs and immigration. Which just reminds me of the amount of things that I have swirling around in my head to start putting together. 2 weeks! Eek!

That's a very cool idea to use the sound vibrations Frus Good luck with the test, hope whatever the results end up being will contribute to helping your DD (and you!)

I second kitty Go ahead and eat those delicious things . You can start up the healthy eating again in a couple of days when the 2ww is over

DMIL is back in hospital. She has another chest infection with symptoms very much like what was going on last summer. Super high temperatures that are making her feel loopy, heavy duty antibiotics and drugs to kill whatever it is plus things to try to keep the temps down. We are just crossing every finger, leg, toe, arm in hopes that she will be out of the hospital when we're there and we won't have to spend the whole holiday driving 45 minutes to visit her in the hospital and having the kids in front of the electronic babysitter watching shite movies to keep them entertained in the visitors room. Only time will tell of course, but please, please let us enjoy this holiday this year!

Aww Frus big hugs to you!! I've sent out positive vibes out that whoever it is doing the testing will make the whole experience so much easier for you both! This time tonight whatever the results it will be over. I assume that you'll have their verdict at the end of the test?

Bring! Oops sorry for bringing up flying! I can give you lots of tips for things to take for M though So sorry to hear about your MIl and how it may effect your holiday with her fx her time is shortened because maybe they can fix it quicker with the experience of last year?!

Good luck

Thinking of you fruss Hope all goes well.

Frus - how are you?

Oh dear. Not really the resolution you were hoping for. How did she get on? Was she okay with the testing or did she try to 'perform'?

Ahh Frus you must be really proud of her I can't imagine what a relief it must feel that this day is over although I'm sure your head is now thinking ahead!

Pleased you got some result and hope it goes towards getting the best possible outcome. Atleast it's done and they've registered the decline so that like you say is something x

Yes Frus I'm pleased you're finally being listened to and something is happening!

I have major PMS symptoms DH is driving me bonkers. It's his day off and he helped clean the house whilst I went to a play date. I was seriously gritting my teeth when I got back to see he was mopping the kitchen floor when we arrived home to have lunch.

I have zero patience today. I'm fed up that we're having to lie down beside Bpears cot for 30 minutes twice a day....grrrrrrrr! And to top it off I can't get a stupid annoying fly out the house that DH let in. Major flashing beacon signs that AF is arriving tomorrow

I mean seriously, who gets annoyed that their DH is cleaning. Only a hormonal person who's about to have their period. That's who. Sob

So it has been 1 hour since we put DS down for his nap. DH does things so different to me. I would have stayed with him for 30 minutes and then walk out but noooooooo even though I've told DH what to do he never listens. So Bpear is now awake and going past nap time. Do you know what. I think maybe it's time to start cio training again. This isn't working
