It could well be mine... I just ignore him He raided Psycho's shelves, but that was because the foolish woman left him alone in a room with chocolate at a climbable height. What's a boy to do?

Right, must go to bed, or I won't be in any fit state to get to you, and you'll have some random woman sobbing on you about a lack of fluff.

lol at false accustations, blooming dh, I was just dropping off and he got a phone call about maybe not working tomorrow due to rain, yay for shop stuff then, but boo for my sleep!

SquirBOOdle · 08/10/2007 23:26

Indeed, what is a boy to do! I would have done the same I don't have any shelves to climb, so we should be ok. I will just leave chocolate on the floor

Hands up who thinks she has tested, IS pregnant, and now just stringin us along?

OP posts:
damewashalot · 09/10/2007 07:55

No flame he really couldn't find them men! He's away til tomorrow night now and I'm not testing on my own so no test for a bit, we have done all tests for others together and I need him to look at the stick for me to check I'm not seeing things can't find out on my own.

But to be honest I don't really need one, it's 5 wks since last period (4weeks is long for me) , I've only gone this long if pg or bfeeding and I'm tired and feeling queasy and tea starting to taste yuk and well let's face it I'm pg

But I will test and I will tell you because you don't count as not real people

Couldn't find them ?! Could he not find a single shop assistant in the whole store either .

Are you giving ds a cup instead of a bottle, or no milk at all flame?

CountessPHOENIXula · 09/10/2007 08:14

Dame

I'll be back in a bit i need to go take the dog for a walk in the pi**ing down rain

No milk - he likes the pretty pouring effect from a cup, and won't drink it from a lidded cup (B never would either). It is the comfort sucking thing they both use the bedtime bottle for rather than the milk aspect

OP posts:
Jas · 09/10/2007 08:17

Well I'm assuming yes until you get a negative test, too, so CONGRATULAIONS

(Go and buy the test yourself today though,so we can find out when he is back please)

I've only stopped giving ds milk during the day this week.He was not eating lunch, so I've stopped it. He's still not eating lunch, but he does drink more water now.

The dds had milk at bedtime until they were four, and dd2 has recently started having it again (nver had bottles though) I couldn't not give it at all if they want it. Or i it just the cotainer for it that you are changing?

Jas · 09/10/2007 08:18

x post. It would have to be a beaker or nothing here too I suppose.I couldn't have milk poured everywhere either.

DS stopped daytime milk at least 6 months ago, possibly more (about the time I stopped breastfeeding).

We gave up the bottles last Christmas, and DD is still convinced that Xmas fairies are mean bottle thieves

mustrunmore · 09/10/2007 08:36

God, I could never assume i was pg without at least 5 tests!

Boys went to bed v well, all asleep by 8.05pm . Bit of an up down evening emotionally again(IYSWIM Flame &csws).

Now its pissing down ansd there's lots of things in the garden thatshouldn't be left in the rain

Ds1 had class photos yesterday. But obv I didnt read the newsletter properly, didnt know when it was ,so he went as a scruff as usual!

mustrunmore · 09/10/2007 08:37

Oh, ds2 has milk in a magic cup during night garden(ds1 has a tescos lidded beaker still then too). He somwtimes has milk during thday, but if we're out, its a carton of moo milk with the sstraw.

Ghoulie55 · 09/10/2007 10:12

Ds still gets milk in the morning and at night - it's still in a bottle but I don't think he really cares whether it's a bottle or cup as he took it fine from a cup on holiday, it's just me slipping back into bad habits!

Sounds likely that your are pg then Dame - so are kids like cats then? If you already have one then it's just as easy to have 2,3,4,5 etc? - Maybe Otter can answer that one!!

damewashalot · 09/10/2007 10:32

I found going from 1 to 2 a lot harder than 2 to 3 that just sort of happened, people tell me you hardly notice a 4th

Seriously think we are prob mad but having decided that after it may be too late is a bit pointless and I'm hardly going to complain as I know only too well how lucky I am to have so many children so easily.

Got one! (well 2) they don't let you be discreet about these things, in a huge plastic security box thing, like dvd go in but bigger Could get clear blue £9 for 1 or tesco own £2-99 for 2 you always need 2

CountessPHOENIXula · 09/10/2007 11:41

Do the test for us Dame, your dh was the first to know about you other 3 pg's so tell us about this one . My dh was the 3rd person to find out about my pg I did the test at my mums so told her 1st then i went to work and told my friend at work and made her check it was def positive. Dh was at work and i couldn't get hold of him to tell him and i was too excited to keep it in til i could tell him.

Chloe - i'm like you, ds has milk in a bottle morning and night.

CantSleepWontSleep · 09/10/2007 14:17

Dd has now left the building!
Rather later than planned, as was made late by going to pick up my car, being kept waiting for ages, and then being told that it wasn't fixed after all (they had thought it was, hence telling me to go and pick it up ). Altogether took up 1.5 hrs, so then had to make quick lunch (not that dd's eating is ever quick) and get dd changed before going. Unfortunately when I arrived at the garage I took out the car seat in anticipation, and then had to refit it. It now moves lots, and if it was someone else who had put it in like that I would prob refuse to let dd get in the car . Going to have another go at it this afternoon, but waiting to see if there's a break in the pouring rain, which hasn't stopped since I got up this morning. Otherwise childminder will help me do it when I go to pick dd up.

Phew, pause for breath!

Was going to go swimming, but running so late and still have chores to do (that would have been done this morning), so going to chill at home. Already got music on louder than I normally can .

Dame - you could tell us the result of one of the tests, and then let dh be the first to know the result of the other .

DD still has milk first thing and last thing, from me obv, and occasionally she will have a tiny tiny bit during the afternoon from a cup.

Jas · 09/10/2007 14:33

csws . Sounds like alot of wasted time at the garage.
Be careful you don't end up wasting all your free time on housewrok!

I found going 2-3 easy, and can't really remember the 1-2 transition, but think it was hard because dd1 was still a baby too.
Everyone I know with 4 says it is easier than 3

I went to Ikea, bt with pulling ds in and out of th car it was quite hard work for very little results.
I did get ds' feet measured and got im new shoes, after finding I'd been squishing his 5.5h feet into 4.5g shoes
