Happy Birthday Jamlet

gah, DS is off school today, he slept until about 8:30 so we just left him to it and I think he has a bit of whiplash as well as he is complaining of a sore neck. He's driving me nuts already though and won't let DD play with anything. As soon as she picks something up, he takes it from her causing her to squeal in a very high pitched and annoyed (not to mention annoying!) fashion.

Morning all.

Thanks a lot for the well wishes. I am not supposed to be at work today... but if I don't come in, I don't get paid, so here I am!
My mum is coming over tonight and tomorrow we are off to Southbourne to see my Nan and see if we can't stop her killing herself. Holly I shall wave to you as we pass!!

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 13/06/2008 09:57

Thanks for the birthday wishes for the Jamlet. She's having a grand day so far - starting with the biggest poop known to mankind!!!

I got mild concussion a feww years ago from walking into a full height window thinking it was an open doorway! I didn't realise I had concussion until the next morning when on the way to work I was thinking about my sister and what her age was but couldn't work it out, I kept trying to add 9 to 34 and kept getting 53! I could only do it by counting on my fingers. I still went to work though but suggested I shouldn't do anything involving maths that day

Morning Jammy, and Happy Birthday Jamlet

Fury, meant to add, I used to get twitchy eylids. Have you been drinking more lately? I found that affected me.

lackaDAISYcal · 13/06/2008 10:22

I gave myself concussion as well Jammy by standing up under the stairs and craking the back of my head on the edge of them....I'd thought I was well clear and stood up so quickly it knocked me flat on the floor. My head was a bit sore, but I didn't think anything of it until later, when I was talking to DH and I was thinking one word, but something completely different came out of my mouth. Was a very surreal experience and quite scary. Saw the doc and had a couple of days off and was right as rain after that.

Glad th Jamlet is having a good day

DS is being a bloody nightmare

Fury, I'm sorry you are feeling so crap at the moment. You have a lot going on, and have packed a lot into the past year. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Happy Birthday Jamlet!

Sputnik · 13/06/2008 10:27

I am so tired.

I cannot handle waking at 6 every day. Yesterday by some miracle both DCs (and therefore us) slept til nearly 8. I knew it immediatly I woke as my fist thought was "ah, I feel human this morning". Anyway, it was back to normal today.

Sputnik · 13/06/2008 10:29

Hey Bumper, I knew that thread was you yesterday. Don't mean that badly by the way

Did you sort things with your Auntie?

trace2 · 13/06/2008 10:31

Happy Birthday Jamlet

daisyhope ds is ok, how scarry

buntinglicious · 13/06/2008 10:43

Sputnik, it crap isn't it? DD has been going through a phase of waking up at 6ish, doesn't help that DH gets up at 6 so she usually hears him and wakes up. Though this week she has been waking up at 8 which has been heaven! Won't last though. It seems never ending doesn't it? Especially when DH and I only have one day off a week together so we take it in turns for a lie in, but even when it is my turn I usually wake up anyway. Can DH get up with them at all?

How did you know that thread was me? I spoke to her yesterday and we agreed we would see what the weather is like next week. And she was very understanding about the cake. I was just worried as she is a bit, um, how can I describe her politely? A bit netmums, and she collects those dolls you get on the back of magazines - nuff said . It's quite sad actually, as she has two boys and really wanted a daughter I think so she gets these pretend baby girls.

I can't imagine what that must feel like. I really secretly wanted a girl, but know I would have been happy either way in the end. As I have a girl I don't think I'm that bothered what I have next time. I wonder if I would be more concerned about next time if I'd had a boy. Anyone else any thoughts over sex of the baby. Norty, daisy will you be finding out? I don't know if I will next time, didn't with DD, but did get so fecked off with people "predicting" what I was having , plus I think I could be more organised if I knew ahead, e.g. could look out for second hand clothes, and decide whether to keep DD's stuff.

Sputnik · 13/06/2008 10:49

I think it was the pfb in the title!

Funny, I always thought pre DCs I would have a girl. Then I did. When we saw DS was a boy on the scan I felt funny, I had a girl, I am a girl, I have a sister. Now I wouldn't change him for anything I do try and get some unisex clothes for DD so I can pass them on though

Hi Trace. How did it go with the paed?

lackaDAISYcal · 13/06/2008 12:39

lol sputnik...I'd thought it was bumper before I clicked it as well....it's your posting style lovely...must've recognised it

trace, if you are still about, how is DD? did you see the paed the other day, and did she have a nice birthday?

DD slept all night last night, but DS made up for it by getting up at 5:30 and had to be bribed to go back to bed. I am having serious trauma about what'll it'll be like with another newborn.

Not sure about finding out the sex; but will it be OK for a baby boy to be wearing pink gingham nappy wraps and lilac spotty ones????? and pink babygros? I mean no-one will see him in his jammies will they?

Speaking of pfb 1st birthday parties and people who wished they had girls...
I may have bored you already with this story but at DD's 1st I invited a handful of friends with babies, plus a sister of one of the friends, as they had a DS of 6 months. Said sister presented DD with a really tasteful halterneck short set, then proceeded to grab DD and change her out of her lovely party-dress into the short set. I was too gobstruck to say anything, and I knew through our friends they had wanted a DD, so felt a bit sorry for her.
She got pg not long afterwards and they now have a DD, so hopefully she has stopped forcibly dressing other people's children.

lackaDAISYcal · 13/06/2008 13:48

sputnik. I think I would've just sain...."Oh lovely, it fits" and then changed her back!

halternecks and babies are just wrong imvho!

OP posts:
Sputnik · 13/06/2008 13:53

She was the same one who remarked re DD at 1 "ooh, she hasn't got much of a tan, has she?"

Probably cos the white halterneck short set would've looked better with a tan...

lackaDAISYcal · 13/06/2008 13:56

and tans and babies are even worse

although DS did have lovely tanned hands from grabbing onto to the bumper bar of his buggy!
