mossy glad the job seems to have sorted itself, be glad indeed that Bertie is not yet crawling. Tis just a hassle

Kitty Ronnie is liek Finn, gallops pushig things with little regard for his safety or anyone elses... He will take a few steps toward me as well.
Reckon we've got 6 wks tops as he is also realising he can stand alone and drop to his hands or bottom safely. So he is doing it more and more.

Well I'm just a mess, body has given up and I think the miscarriage saga has been the last straw, I have had a mega trapped nerve in my leg on and off for 6 mths, as well as bulging discs in lower back, they have all gone kaput and am in agony (did a a thread about it bf rules out the drugs to cure the pain dr put me on a guilt trip)
Am seriously ruined...
Also had the runs last night for about 3 hrs, tummy pains were horrendous, then a couple of rounds on the loo and then fine again. Bizarre but thankful it went on no longer.

Finn been whingemonster as well, he was up from 3-4.30am undoing his sleeping bag and just being a jolly chappie, unlike his mother who was and still is wrecked.

Far too grumpy to be pleasant so I'd best bugger off and so something useful....

Went to pick up DD this evening; she took one look at me, burst into tears then threw up copiously down my front. Cue nursery staff having to change her before I could take her home. Funniest bit of situation is standing with baby who is throwing up over and over onto me and nursery assistant hands me a babywipe Just the one.

I had a really odd thing in the night. DD didn't go to sleep until after 11.30pm and I woke with a jump just after midnight with this really awful feeling that I'd "forgotten the baby". It was so strong I was shaking and halfway across the room before I realised what I was doing. I knew DD was next to me, could feel her and see her, but had left this baby somewhere and forgotten about it, so "it was probably dead", and couldn't remember what its name was (probably because it doesn't exist). I shook for ages after and felt really sick. I suppose it was a dream I didn't actually recall consciously. Not a feeling I wish to repeat

sazzy snap on being shoved in a corner with dull things to do

kittywise · 15/01/2008 18:16

re you feeling anxious ATM?

Piffle, what you need is to find a BOWEN TECHNIQUE practioner, they will put you right, honestly. They will sort your body out better than an osteopath or chirpractor etc.
You need to give yourself some recuperation time both physically and mentally and God this shitty weather is no good for the soul

kittywise · 15/01/2008 18:18

{hmm] what happened to the first half of my post? I was saying EVENHOPE, sorry you had a such a dream, they are horrible and can leave you shaken for days. I was wondering whether you were feeling anxious ATM?

spicemonster · 15/01/2008 19:47

Oh evenhope! How horrid
Dreams are so weird aren't they? They seem so real and can push you off balance for a while.

I'm a bit pissed. There was a big drunken lunch to celebrate this job we just finished and I had to go to schmooze so I can try and move into something less stuck in the corner. My, but it makes me weary. I probably didn't need to drink quite as much as I did though.

I think I'm going to go to bed now

fitfox · 15/01/2008 21:24

OMG can't keep up with you lot!!

Evenhope - the baby probably symbolised some other aspect of your life (rather than symbolising your baby IFKWIM) - can you think of anything?

I have recurring dreams about DD drowning (very upsetting) and also about me abandoning her. I think the latter started when I got PG with Monti and symbolise the fact that I feel guilty that I have made her the middle shild (i.e. the invisible child).

When she was three I dreamt I put her on the bus on her own to travel across London to nursery - symbolic of the fact she is no longer the baby of the family.

Will try and read everyons posts

fitfox · 15/01/2008 21:25

Spice at you being a bit merry

Divastrop · 15/01/2008 22:37

i keep having dreams about dd2 running away from me and such,even though in RL i never let her out of the pushchair in public.i think its something to do with her getting more independant and me still seeing her as a precious baby.
i also used to dream about sending dd1 off to school(miles away)on her own when she was about 6.

i go on another forum alot for people with depression etc and there is a woman on there who is excellent at dream interpration,she has helped me loads.

fecking xp sent me a message on facebook.his xmas was a nightmare and he is so sorry for the things he's done.my heart bleeds..

bethoo · 15/01/2008 23:49

Diva - you are a strong woman.

bethoo · 16/01/2008 09:38

kiwi - heavens i did not mean it in that sense though i supppose yuo could. i meant about babies not sleeping etc.

Piffle · 16/01/2008 09:54

oh evenhope those dreams are awful I had them when Finn was little and still in our room. frightening.

Kitty you swear by Bowen technique?
RElaly will google now am desperate, cannot cope with extreme pain, making me faint, Finn is taking cows milk out of bottle during day as I NEED codeine.
osteo this arvo heaven knows how I'll get there with 3 kids but I will.

Diva, yep your exp too little too late - prick

Rosylily · 16/01/2008 09:54

I think I need one of those boxes that shines light on you in the winter .....I am just in hibernation mode.

It is so dull and dreary and my motivation is almost non existant. I always have to wade through this time of year. I don't want to go out, I just want to drink tea, eat alot, be warm, cosy and sit about cuddling the kids.

Kitty/Piffle Is taking 2 or 3 steps not counted as walking? I think it is!
Hasan is just beginning to try balancing without holding on. He is saying mammammam alot and comes to me when he has a pooey nappy.
He has just started to eat a little from a spoon these past few days, (stubborn so and so) I can't imagine him ever losing interest in bf at the moment!

Rosylily · 16/01/2008 09:55

Aw Piffle poor thing I hope you get some relief very soon!

evenhope · 16/01/2008 09:59

Hi all. I'd have said I was depressed rather than anxious. I wonder if its something to do with being back at work?

No time for dreaming last night. DD was sick all night long and rolling round and round the bed trying out different positions. Got an "emergency" docs appointment for her at 10.30. Heaven knows how long we will have to sit there this time but she's gone back to sleep.

Looks good doesn't it, second week back at work on reduced hours and I'm already having to take time off with a sick child (so DH decided to pick this morning to stay on for an extra hour at work- grrr Therein lies my biggest problem I fear)

Rosylily · 16/01/2008 10:03

Evenhope, maybe you have SAD syndrome?
I'm a bit anxious and agraphobic at the moment but not depressed. I probably should force myself out the door a bit today.

Rosylily · 16/01/2008 10:12

hee hee

Piffle · 16/01/2008 10:25

rosy I get slightly agoraphobic as well, if is can be slight
I hate going to new places, even though I really want to go there.
I also think if I go it will all go wrong.
It never does
ATM am currently not keen on even the supermarket, kepe finding reasons not to go and getting dp to collect bread and milk and eggs on his way home
Freak myself sometimes, this is the girl who flew 12000 miles with £10 in her pocket with her 3 yr old child...

Rosylily · 16/01/2008 10:37

Yes I've been very brave and adventurous at times too. I suspect that nature makes us want to be home orientated with young children.
I worry about all the dangers out there and want to protect myself for my children and protect them.
Last weekend I was out shopping with dh and the littlies and my anxiety levels were through the roof at getting everyone safely through the carpark to the car
All the worrying is exhausting apart from anything else!

Rosylily · 16/01/2008 10:52

might be fun

Piffle · 16/01/2008 10:59

once I'm there I'm fine.
I cnanot understand myself
Therapy I think.

bethoo · 16/01/2008 11:04

Rosy and Piff - i am the same, having insecurities about he safety of little man. its like when he goes tobed i think what if this, whatif that like when he fell the other day what if it was on the cornerof a table?? i am scared for his future, especially things like what happened ot Madeleine! my parents want to take Hayden to Cyprus for a week and i can not bear the thought of me not being there to keep my eyes on him 100%. then i think about him on a plane! in a way i am glad i live on camp and work is over the road. i am nervous about getting on the bus in bad weather, some of the drivers are menaces and then there is the fact that the majority look as though they are waiting ot hae cardiac arrest! sods law on my bus run! so am i paranoid or what? so i am with you two!

kittywise · 16/01/2008 11:38

Piffle, YES, it is a bloody miracle treatment. I know SOOOOOOO many people for whom it has worked when all else has failed. It has straightened up Ronnie's neck beautifully

Rosy. I count 'walking' as being able to cross a room without falling over, hey that discounts most of my children then .

Went to the docs today to see about my saggy fanny, God I was so nervous. Anyway she said nothing is falling down or out. God am I relieved.

I am using my electrical vibrator , it's really good, gives you a 20 min PF workout, exercising the muscles properly and I can watch tv and forget I'm doing it! The doc thought it was an excellent thing to be doing.

I also asked her for some ad's as I think I'm in a bit of a low patch brought on mainly by chronic tiredness, which is always a dangerous thing for me.
Anyway, going for a walk now bye x

Piffle · 16/01/2008 11:41

kitty thank you have booked an appt at holistic clinic which has bowen, cranio sacral, acupuncture, reflexology and sports physio, deep tissue therapist and osteopath.
So I'm going there. Think I might move in there

Gonna cost a bomb but I want it fixed

Yeah I count walking as steady controlled, Finn is just accidentally flinging himself in wonky wobbling steps at me... not walking more like propulsion...

kittywise · 16/01/2008 12:09

Piffle, be warned that when you are having the treatment it might seem as if the therapist isn't doing much.

I remember during my first treatment that she always seemed to be going out of the room! But when I got off the couch the difference to my pelvis was amazing, hope you enjoy it, when are you going?

Piffle · 16/01/2008 12:13

am going here
am going to non manipulative osteo today pryaing for some relief
house is tip of all tips am laying on floor all day playing with Finn. tis all I can do
