March 2007... soon they will be one!!

[kiwibella]

Well, Jordi is our first one year old.... they will be catching up soon .

I was tempted to write the subject with reference to NM .

piffle-glad to hear finn is feeling better

not glad to hear your dp is being a pain and you are unhappy.where do yu want to move to?
is your dd in reception?my ds2 has only just learnt to count to 20.i dont think he will ever be an academic genius,i suspect he will be either sporty or musical.dd1 is the boffin of the house(who has nt a shred of common sense just like her mother).

foxy-yes,mine are off for another week.somebody mentioned the sun holidays to me a few months ago but i wont buy the sun.do the mirror still do them?

we have been to 'ducky's park farm ' today with the mother and toddler group(although i was allowed to take all 5).the kids enoyed it,cuddling bunnies and dd1 bottle-fed a lamb.there was a huge soft play area as well thankfully as it started chucking it down in the afternoon.

i do so like gettig out of town.

yes she is in reception diva
ds1 has not one ounce of common sense, he may be the smartest kid in yr9 but holy moly he is a liability, also spotty and unkempt (teens who would have them)
dd is sensible, I am glad she is ahead as her other problems will catch up with her as she progresses and slow her down, so she gets a wiggle on now and she's sorted She is happy at school and tbh that's what I care about most.
Dunno about DP I love him without question, but just feel like I'm living someones elses life iykwim, someones life who I hate LOL
Well he is looking at houses on the web, may come to nothing but think he understands.
Grrr

good to know that Finn is on the road to recovery.

does everyone have their letters for MMR yet? i am having doubts. can you get them individually or only certain places do them? worried in case i have no option and feel pressured into the MMR or am i being silly with my PFB?

Bethoo we have had no letter yet. Its scarey that they are sending them even younger now - it used to be that you would receive them at 18 months.

We got single jabs and I'm glad we did as DD reacted really badly to her measles booster last week and got quite poorly..

Try googling "SepVax" or "Single measles jab"

Where abouts are you located?

Piff I am glad to hear that Finn is recovering, but sad you are feeling so isolated. Your DP seems to have taken the hint by the sounds of it??

Diva - dunno about the Morror. Unfortunately the papers which have the best deals seem to be the Sun and Mail. We didn't buy the Sun BTW - I bought the tokens/form on Ebay. They sell for about a fiver for the whole set . Anyway its worked out really well as they have upgraded us and put us in a brilliant Parc in France

i live near Salisbury in Wiltshire. sometimes the drs have ways of making you feel like an idiot and sometimes patronise you in that they know what is best for you and yor child!

bethoo, only ds1 had the mmr and he had such a bad reaction that none of the others have had anything

i want him to have the boosters but not together. maybe me being paraniod but i think there is a link and the government know but if they admit it it will open the flood gates for every mother who has had their chldren vaccinated as they were putting kiddies at risk knowingly so best to deny deny deny. i am only thinking this way as i got the letter and worried as it would destroy me to see my beautiful son become someone else. could be my pregnancy hormones making me be like this!!! i know i sound silly.

I totally agree with you bethoo

Piffle - I forgot yo say yesterday congratulations to your clever DD!! You must be very proud of her

bethoo-you are not being paranoid.i was reluctant to let ds2 have the mmr but i gave into pressure in the end because there was a supposed measles outbreak at nursery(which turned out to be bollocks).he was so ill for 6 months after,he also became lactose intolerant(he has grown out of it now,though.strange).dd2 isnt having the mmr,and Elsie hasnt had any jabs atall,due to the things i read while looking for info on whether the mmr was safe for dd2.

foxy-ahanow buying the tokens etc off ebay i think wouldnt go against my principles as i wouldnt actually be giving money to the sun.

[diva]

oh,i forgot to add that Elsie is now crawling properly and pulling herself up on the furniture.bugger.she's not meant to grow up!!!

good news - had scan and all ok. so surreal as convinced it was going to be bad. baby was also uncooperative as was moving everywhere so could not get measurements!
pissed off though as been haviing problems with dp, so finally admitted to myself that i really am happier without him, told him i no longer wanted to be with him then he told me to get an abortion and he is now going to claim for custody. so a bit freaked and it has put a downer on everything now.

Excellent news on scan bethoo, how many weeks are you now?
sorry dp is being as twat, but then he always has been
Sorry that was harsh

bethoo-good news about the scan.

your dp could try being more original really,rather than getting his lines from the 'typical arsehole man guide to fatherhood'(they are all going to get custody when you tell them to eff off.i imagine the few single dads that are about are the select few who didnt spout that line).

im fed up now,convinced dh wants to leave me again.i think he's lost all respect for me and no longer finds me attractive in any way.the only way i can think of to deal with it is to stop caring.at least then i will look less of a dick in the long run

Diva, I advise that you get this book if you can change your way of thinking it will really turn things around. it's working for me already and is so easy to do, much, much easier than all the cbt work

kitty - you are not harsh, we all know that he is a twat but i still cared about him so tolerated it but it has come to that stage that i really cant be bothered with him. i am actually happy on my own what with a 13 month old and mumsnet and telly and my books i really do not have time for a boy trapped in a mans body any more, he has lost his appeal to me and whilst i used to think he was enigmatic and intelligent i now see him for the tit he really is! just a shame it took me so long and that i actually left my hubby for him that is how sure i was that he was the one! hey ho at least i have a beautiful son and potentially another one on the way.

i am 13 weeks now.

Diva - have you spoken to dh about your worries? i remember you only got married last year! what i would do is make him realise what he is missing by looking gorgeous!

kitty-i will have a look at that,thanks

bethoo-i have spoken to him.i know these feelings tend to come to the surface when i am at a certain stage in my cycle,but the rest of the time its just that im not bothered and can put on a front.the trouble is,i really genuinely dont know if im being paranoid and its just the way i feel inside thats causing this,or if his feelings for me have changed.i dont know what relationships are meant to be like,this is the lonest ive been with anyone without splitting up/getting back together,ad as i grew up with only one parent i have nothing to compare it to.

lol@looking gorgeous.thats not a problem for you.i am excersising every night like a madwoman.i have lost a little weight sofar.i will still look haggared and ugly though,even if i were slim

.....

LOL @ tumbleweed, i like!

Jensen's walking.......my life is over....and so is Harriette's......!!

Hows everyone?

Hi jay, how is Cooper? Is he a 'good' baby?
I am really broody atm
It always happens to me when my babies get to nearly one.
I mentioned it briefly in a kind of casual way to dp who said that he was too old, tired and now poor!
I wondered whether it was worth trying to persuade him otherwise and then I remembered that i didn't want to be with him anymore anyway ) a slight stumbling block in my plans)

hey Kitty

Cooper is a GREAT baby, and i can say that after having the baby from hell, as in the boy called Jensen.. in fact he still is the boy from hell!!!

Anyway, Coops ( as his big Sis likes to call him) sleeps really well, well for 3-4 hours, then he likes an hour 'up' where he feeds and has a look around, then hes happy to be swaddled and put down in his chair/basket/cot, where he will lie awake for a bit, have a wag on his dummy then fall asleep.....its VERY strange, i keep wondering when the magic of it all will end!
Had the last visit from the MW today, she weighed him, hes 12lbs 5oz... so hes piled on over a pound in 6 days! - his tongue tie isn't affecting him that badly then!!!

Did i read that Ronnie still is BF every HOUR!! my god woman, you are a saint, no way i could do that i fear, good on you for keeping it going though!

Bethoo, great news re scan not so great re DP....

Piffle, SO sorry to read about little Finn, glad hes on the mend, hope you aren't suffering badly as a result of it all and by that i mean hope you are getting enough rest etc!

Diva, got to love yourself babes, that way you WONT get let down! Try not to be so hard on yourself, i am sure your DH loves you any which way, have a chat to him, tell him how you feel, if you cant talk, write him a note explaining the basics, hopefully then he can ask you more questions about how you feel and you can then discuss it, hugs to you.... and to everyone with Hubby/partner troubles xx

hi jay

good to hear you have an angel baby after jensen.my 3rd was an angelic baby,happy to sit there,fed every 3 hours from birth,never had any trouble feeding him,he would go to anybody.ahhh sociable angelic little babies who turn into boisterous little toddlers/boys...he is out the back playing with the kids from next door atm.i need to explain stranger danger to him in an age-appropriate way but he has the concentration span of a goldfish

i had a chat with dh last night(who had already compared me to the cat who is distressed due to being on heat{we are going to get her done next week}),he reassured me as always.

kitty-@feeling broody,although i can empathise to an extent,as all ive done for the past 10 years is reproduce,and the thought of doing something else is bloody scary.its insane as i know i wouldnt be able to cope.this is why i wanted to get 'done'.
would you have another if he offered his services?

added the pic on my profile. i had to take a pic of the scan with my camera so may not be as clear as the original. seems so surreal, was honestly expecting there not to be anything there! still in normal clothes so still waiting for bump, in no hurry!

well i am stopping at 2 kiddies. well with tit face anyway. if i meet some perfect bloke in the future willing to take on two little kiddies and have a good future together then may reconsider but think i will be a lonely old crone!!
