JUNE 07.........PSSSSSSSST over here :0)

[LackaDAISYcal]

came to talk and the thread was full.

hey sputnik; I'll say a quick hi before I slope off to bed.

I was just thinking about Norty yesterday and wondering where she is.

DD is doing things like that as well; if you say, lets get some lunch she heads straight for the kitchen and the cupboard where we keep the plates. She also brings me her shoes and places them firmly in my lap when she wants to go outside.

right the cat has had her obligatory 15 mins pre bedtime ramble; off to get her in and then head for bed.

Night

DS does similar stuff, except he is more likely to throw the highchair around. He knows where his belly, nose and mouth is, it's pretty cool seeing him piece things together.

Jammy what camera do you have again?
What lens are you after?

I am coughing up both lungs. Didn't get to sleep until 1am I was coughing so much.

morning all.
i crashed out at 8pm last night, woke at 11, and didnt go back off till 4. how odd is that? im doing that alot atm, seems i cant sleep between 12 and 4.. pregnancy is a truely strange thing!
i got to clean as well daisy, we need to start packing and ive been really lazy with everything lately.
ive got to big to fast this time, omg, ive just come out my 10's into my 12's, but im not gonna be in these long, ive had to order some early term jeans on my catalogue. i mean last time i got big fast, but this time is ridiculous!!! im 6 weeks!! wtf??!?!

lol fury.. thats what thomas was like as a baby, throwing highchairs about..

Another bad night here. DS got up at 12 soaked to the skin, and I couldn't get up to change his bed (top bunk) as my stool for the purpose was in DDs room. So, he ended up (wriggling) in beside me for the rest of the night. DD was up for her usual cuddle at 1:30 and I didn't get off until nearly three and then they were both up at 6:30

I am on a very short fuse this morning.

Hello everyone

Haven't been around for ages.....mixture of things really, but haven't been too good and you've heard it all before ...BUT have had some counselling (to no effect so far) and I have an appointment with the GP tomorrow evening.....so fingers crossed she is OK with me.

Now trying to remember everything I've read..... about your BIL Jammy....what a bastard. Hope your DSis is OK and realises she's better off without someone like that around. What is it with men and mid-life crises!

Great to see you Tallulah ......have you found out the flavour of your LOs? My 20 week scan is next week and I'm wavering....

Daisy....have you decided on an elective CS? I'm seeing consultant next Monday and don't know what to do.....

Hope the next week till your scan goes quickly Natty ....I had the advantage of not knowing how far along I was.

Blimey forgotten everything else now .

My DD has just sat in a swing in the park next to a little girl that was 8 months old and K looked SO grown up ....time goes very quickly doesn't it. Her new bedroom is now all decorated, complete with cot AND bed and will be moving out of the nursery soon .

DH finishes his job this week (so have to go and collect from the pub Friday night ), has a week off then starts new job . Fingers crossed for your DH Daisy and his next interview....they done that to DH....2 directors interviewing and when another came back from leave, asked him in for another interview.

This thread is SO quiet these days...

Oh Daisy....hope you've had a nap....I go to bed when DD has a nap on days like that....

Laptop useless. am on old pc, so old you have to wind it up. Dial up sucks. Left my money card in chip & pin machine, so no money, no internet = no shopping. dd started nursery today. next door got burgled.

oh arse!

hello everyone, umm, gotta run and get kids.

xxx

Norty, you know you can always come on here for a rant. Good luck with your GP, and with your scan next week. I've always asked to be told the sex of mine, I can do without the uncertainty!

Anyway, you are nearly halfway there

Good day then Foxy! I left my card in the machine too a while ago, it was all Baby Sputnik's fault

Oh blimey Foxy, what a day! Can I help ? internet shopping? Blimey, couldn't bring myself to do a weekly shop with one child let alone 4 .

When can you get some money? DP away still? If I can help, then FB me

Hi Sputnik....my DD stands by her highchair as well....not so patiently though . I don't think I'll find out what I'm having but am pretty scared about having a boy....totally irrational I know but I'm used to a girl and girly bits....and not sure how I'll cope with a boy.....are they harder work....having had one of each and in the same order (and Fairy....you've done it in that order as well!)? I know this makes no sense at all, but is today's worry! Blardy hormones! Have lots of names for boys, but no girls . Think I'm beginning to realise how lucky I've been with DD (in every way, eating, sleeping, behaviour etc) and its dawning on me that I probably won't be as lucky next time!

I felt funny about that too and I know Holly did as well. It took me a while to get my head round having a boy, as I already had a girl, also have a sister but no brother, and I was a bit upset tbh. Couldn't think of boys names I liked either.

I came round to it though, and now I'm really happy to have 1 of each. I'm hoping perhaps they'll bicker less as they grow up, but we'll see. He is an easier baby that DD was, but that's really the luck of the draw isn't it.

Also, boys are much easier to clean when they have a pooey nappy

Norty, I'm really sorry to hear you are still feeling so bad. I really hope the GP can help.

I found out the sex with both of mine, I am far too impatient to wait, and don't regret it at all. I was genuinely shocked when they told me that DS was a boy. For some reason i had assumed he would be another girl, and I will admit to being really quite disappointed for a while. I got over it though and, genuinely, I wouldn't change it for the world. I do like having one of each, and I don't think boys or girls are easier or harder than each other. They are just different characters. DD was never very cuddly and DS is much snugglier. He is also more easy going than DD, which could be gender, or due to being DC2 or just his personality. I also agree with Sputnik about them being much easier to clean - no worrying about getting poo in their girly bits .

Hope everyone else is ok. Nursery starts again for DD tomorrow, woohoo. She is so desperate to go back and has been asking to go in every time we've walked past the building.

Btw, where is Holly these days? Andiem also seems to have been awol for a while.

It is very quiet on here at the moment.

It is very quiet on here, I've been thinkng that too. Are we all lurking, with nobody liking to put up the first post of the morning/afternoon/evening/after a gap of a few hours in fear of looking like a person with no RL, so nobody posts anything and people are secretly thinking "come on somebody, say something! Anybody?"? I know I've been there sometimes

Tired little jamlet tonight. But apparently had a v.good day at nursery with lots of standing She started letting go for 5 or 10 seconds at a time yesterday. But still needs to be holding on with both hands to have the confidence to walk. It'll come though.

Hello all

Won't be on long as I'm trying to curb mnetting a bit!

Norty, sorry you are feeling so crap, you know you can't rant on here, doesn't matter if it's same old. Been thinking about you while you've been gone.

Fury, sorry you are feeling shit again too. Hope you get your new camera to cheer you up soon.

Foxy, eek about your card, what a PITA!

Daisy sorry you had a bad night DS. DD has been systematically waking up more and more in the night. We had got really strict at not picking her up and she was very good at not waking, but slowly it's been more and more often and we have been less and less strict. Last night she woke up 3 times! DH is very good at getting up with her though.

He has had a bad day. Not only were we up 3 times in the night, he had a meeting with HR about his job situation (no answer yet though), and because one of our cars has been in the garage they still have the key, even though we picked the car up. Anyway, I went off to work with the only key for that car and DH didn't realise until it came time to leave to take DD to my friend's to babysit! Poor bloke, ended up walking 25 mins to her house then walking into town, and it'll still be 2 weeks before the twats give him an answer!

DD is being super cute at the moment. She knows where her belly is, and her nose. When I make her breakfast like toast she toddles into the living room and sits on her mat ready . Everyone comments on how friendly she is [smug] she is just so into EVERYTHING!

I'm going to disappear again anyway and pay some attention to my poor DH (and watch Come Dine With Me on my tv recorder!).

Happy thoughts to you all!

Yay for Jamlet. I'm sure it won't take her long now.

We went to a 3rd birthday party this afternoon. The birthday girl's brother is 15 months and will walk around quite confidently upstairs at their house but refuses to walk downstairs . They think it could be because they have wooden floors downstairs, and maybe he's not as steady on his feet.

Hi and bye Bumper

God your DHs employers really are tossers Bumper

Thanks Fairy and Sputnik for advice about boys....its been playing on my mind a bit. I had a friend round last week with 2 boys and they are HORRIBLE children and were so horrible to each other....biting, karate kicks etc and I just sat there thinking I really hope I've got a girl in here . But as DH said, if we have a boy, he won't be like that cos our parenting is different (ie we have some discipline!). I just couldn't believe how horrible they were!.....its not nice when you've got friends who've got horrible kids.....(IMO anyway!)

Are you friends with some of my friends Norty. I have an old friend from uni who has 2 boys, and DH & I have named them the "devil children". I've rarely, if ever, met 2 children I liked less! Can't tell my friend that of course. And I do believe it's simply because they CAN get away with it.

And sorry about your bad day Bumper, and yes DH's employers are being arses!

Norty, I hope you start feeling better soon, and that the counselling does some good. I have a number to ring for counselling. Have had it for weeks, months even, and I do want to but am also scared. Scared of what I might find out. But I think I ought to, so will try and be brave this week and give them a call. All this stuff with my sister has made me think a lot about stuff and it would be good to talk.

Hi everyone!

We've been a bit mental here over the past couple of weeks. Dp has a new job and has been put on garden leave for a month!! He has only done a week of it so far and is already moaning that he is bored, yet when I think of things for him to do he miraculously becomes ever so busy !

I have done my first bfc tutorial, it was brilliant! The other students were lovely, as was the tutor and I felt quite knowledgeable as I was able to join in fully with all the discussions, which was nice.

I've just sort of skimmed through the last day or so...

Norty, I was gutted when the sonographer told me ds was a boy, I mean really gutted! I burst into tears there and then and was crying for about 2 days! I feel just awful about it now because he is wonderful and I feel so lucky to have one of each. I think the main thing is fear of the unknown. I am a girl and know about girls and girly things, dd is REALLY girly and is so much fun to dress up and play Sylvanian Families with etc. I had no idea what to do with a boy! It is brilliant now though, he has fun toys like little cars and trains and it is lovely to see him and dp playing cars and golf and rough and tumble games (sometimes dd and I join in too, but mostly we just watch and laugh). As for boys being harder work...I have found that ds was a lovely, easy going, placid baby, but now is nightmare toddler from hell! Dd was a horrible, whiney, hard work baby, but a lovely toddler. I have found this is quite typical amongst my friends' children. However, if you look forward to the teenage years I think girls tend to get their own back a bit!!

Bumper, your dh's employers sound like arses! I can't believe they are mucking him about so much! This has been going on for ages hasn;t it? Can he seek some sort of advice about it to get them to pull their fingers out?

Foxy, sorry about your day of hell. Have you had any wine yet? That'll help I'm sure...oh and half price Ben & Jerrys from Tesco (I have choc fudge brownie in my freezer)!!

Hi everyone else, I've tried to catch up properly, but I've forgotten everything else , sorry.

welcome back holly

Hello Fairy, are you well?

Not too bad (bit of a painful cough ), and very glad that DD's nursery starts back tomorrow
