Evening ladies.

Loads of posts again you chatterboxes!

Hectic here. Wednesdays are a nightmare with the both of them and classes to get to. Stupidly I also had tesco delivery today at 5.00, as there were no other spaces that fitted! Fortunately K was happily cooing in her chair and B helped me carry the stuff in!

Not much to report here, although after the 6.00a.m. start yesterday with K, I had to wake her up at 7.30 this morning! Maybe just a blip yesterday?

Sorry to hear people are suffering with thrush again.

Can't remember a bloody thing now - am on the red wine again! Emmy, good on you for cracking the wine open so early! Went to the Longleat Center Parcs a few years ago. It was good, but we went in December and the weather was awful. Also dh got food poisoning and was incredibly ill, so kind of ruined the weekend really.

Right, need to check dinner isn't burning. Love to everyone, and apologies for not mentioning everyone. xx

Where has everyone gone??

oooggs · 04/07/2007 21:07

msn

Sexonknackeredlegs · 04/07/2007 21:13

Oh! How do I get on that?

mammyjo · 04/07/2007 21:15

I dont know how to get on msn!

Pesha, thanks for pointing me in the direction of your thread. Really interesting reading about diet not affecting milk quality. I was sure it would make a difference. Definitely feel better about carrying on with the bf now. Dd IS gaining weight, albeit very slowly, does have lots of wet and dirty nappies, and is happy and thriving. What more do I need? In future I shall arm myself with shit shield to deflect further "helpful" comments!!

Hi Mammyjo, K only put on 10 ounces in 2 weeks which I was quite shocked about. However, the HV wasn't fussed and I am therefore not going to get fussed about it either. It is hard though isn't it. I think the trouble I have is the fact I keep making comparisons to B, but then I have to remember that B was 1 pound, 3 ounces more at birth. K is just more petite!

Not gong to bother trying to get on msn - too tired. Don't know why as we had a lie in today.

My period hasn't come back yet (K nearly 11 weeks) and am f feeding. Seems quite late.

Hi SOKL sorry it took me so long to reply...forgot i'd posted!

Well my life certainly changed since the ttc threads.

To sum up, my Dh of 9 months left me in March for another woman 6 months after my M/C and 1 week before i would have been due. She has a new baby and left her DH too. Now my DH has a nice little family unit and the last thing on my mind is ttc (obviously )!!!

This week he serve me divorce papers so he can get his half of equity in house (i.e. force me to sell) and stated in it my difficulties after miscarriage saying I was very down and didn't want to go out and socialise with friends. Oh and also that i was putting pressure on him each month when ttc... What a horror-bag. The scary thing was, he met this other woman whil we were ttc, oh yeah and I know her!!!

Sorry to crash this otherwise happy thread but somrtimes a bit of scandal cheers you up! Who needs esatenders eh?

Oh my God anewme. I am so sorry to hear all that. What a bloody nightmare. How are you coping? I am really shocked.

anewme · 04/07/2007 21:34

Thanks JoMa! i remeber so many of you from my ttc days and also ante natal threads. isn't it funny how life can turn around so dramtically. Having said that, it can turn again and I'm not just saying it but I am glad i didn't have a child with him, it wasn't meant to be obviously. he wasn't the man i thought he was. Even after 7 years, i obviously never knew him.

Sexonknackeredlegs · 04/07/2007 21:39

Anewme, probably as you say a good thing not to have had a baby with him. So, are you going to move house? I don't remember where you live.

mammyjo · 04/07/2007 21:41

Trying to download it now but its taking ages.
Hi anewme!

Sexonknackeredlegs · 04/07/2007 21:45

I tried downloading it as well and gave up - no patience me!

Going to bed soon. Dh is off again tomorrow at 5.30 and I never sleep well knowing he has to be up early.

have you all read the zombie plan thread? it's a classic

OP posts:
mammyjo · 04/07/2007 21:55

Hope you manage some sleep SOKL. My dh will be leaving by 6am in the morning too. Dont think I will have any trouble sleeping, am so tired going to bed these days that I go out like a light!

mammyjo · 04/07/2007 21:56

Oh, and just for the record, I do not have a zombie plan!

Pesha · 04/07/2007 22:03

on dps laptop i just clicked on tools and msn is near the bottom as messenger. Could just be on this though. Dont think he ever downloaded it?

anewme · 04/07/2007 22:04

I'm doing OK but finding things very very hard still. It's just getting used to being alone after so much time and feeling rejected and replaced by someone who I knew fell preg 'at drop of hat' is very hard. Am dealing with so many different emotions I don'y even know where to begin to tell you and the scary thing is I know it's not over yet.

I'm pleased you don't mind me popping in and chatting. I love reading the stories about your little ones.Was checking all through april and read all your birth announcements. My baby should have been due end of March so was watching both threads watching out for familiar names. Didn't post at the time because was in such a bad place. There was a time when i would have been green with envy because you've got all i ever wanted but now I know my Dh was not the right person and wasn't up to challenges that marriage and ttc brought so certainly wouldn't have shaped up as much of a dad. My own father has been my rock through all this and i want my children to have a strong, loyal father just like mine.

There aren't many places/ forums to chat about things like this so i'll stick around you guys if that's ok. promise not to depress you too much.. being single isn't all that bad.
