Hensden. CONGRATULATIONS X

SharpMolarBear · 22/10/2008 13:11

congratulations hensden!
hi pinions and 2hot
sol, glad thy have found some of the prob, hope results come back soon

cazboldy · 22/10/2008 13:43

SOL - well at least they will have sorted it (hopefully) Wishing your mUM a speedy recovery, and hope the results are good news, and that they don't keep you all waiting too long xx

hensden - Many congratulations to you and your brood! Glad everything went well, although sorry it did not work out quite as you had planned. i know how you feel about the audience - when I had Charlie (ds3) a midwife called for back up as she thought she wouldn't get to me in time, and as I was right on the norfolk/suffolk border they sent 2! and there was a queue of ambulance men along my landing Am ed about them reporting you to SS though!

Congratulations Hensden, Sorry you didn't get the homebirth you wanted, but so pleased your DS made a safe arrival.

SOL - So sorry about your mum. Thinking of you all. Praying for a speedy recovery for her. Let me know if I can do anything at all to help.

Hello HCB - Good to see you.

Ooops Izzy just woken up. Best get on. xx

Bramshott · 22/10/2008 15:23

Fab news Hensden! Congratulations to you all!!

SOL - thanks for letting us know how it's going. Thinking of you, and hoping this means you are all on your way to some answers. xxx

PillockOfTheCommunity · 22/10/2008 18:59

Hensden - that's a dreadful way to be treated, you should complain to the PCT about the Midwife. Congratulations on the new arrival though, glad it all went safely in the end

SOL - will be thinking of you all xx

Not a bad day here, had a meeting at work this morning, bit of variation in my job makes it a bit less bleugh. Finished a bit early too so I missed the traffic and didn't have such a rushed journey home to collect the boys. I'm not working at home this week as there's too much to do, and at short notice so it's not ready to bring home the night before iyswim, so leaving a bit early makes up for having to drive to the office every day.

The affection mark left by an overkeen James slight bruise on my neck didn't go unnoticed though

Parents Eve tomorrow - oh yay!

Will be attempting to get an early night again tonight

Baby screaming BRB!

Eddas · 22/10/2008 20:13

pmsl at your new name Pesha maybe I should change mine too oldgiteddas not much of a ring to it

Hensden, many congratulations on your new little boy, so lovely. I'm glad you managed to stay at home, but am at the way you were treated well done to you and dh standing your ground and staying put.

Lovely to see HCB

SOl, i hope your mum's ok and that you are too. Tomorrow will be very hard, but I hope it goes as well as it can. Will be thinking of you {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}

gettingonabitpesha · 22/10/2008 20:20

If he loves his cars so bloody much why does he keep throwing them out his cot?!?! Will be taking cot down to move on Friday and not going to put it back up again! He can go in the bottom bunk, hes quite good at settling himself when hes tired so should be ok. Although he does keep climbing on to the top bunk atm so if he keeps doing that then may have to put cot up again, him climbing up there when someone is there to help him down is one thing but if he does it at bedtime and falls alseep up there then thats really not so good.

SOL - so sorry about your mum but glad that they have found what is wrong and have hopefully solved the problem. Hope she is feeling much better soon. And that you are too, what a stressful few weeks for you.

So, after jamie changing my name yesterday (which I really must change back ) he has gone to work and left himself logged into his facebook account on my laptop. So ladies, what shall I do?!?!

PillockOfTheCommunity · 22/10/2008 20:27

I did spot he'd noticed he'd left himself logged in pesha - how has he changed his status if he's logged in there still????

I think revenge is most definitely deserved

Lol Eddas, it does have a bit of a ring!

I think this name is perhaps more true to life, isn't it?!

Anywya as the name says I really need to get on. And if I don't make it back on before I move then I may not be back for a while as will no doubt take ages to get broadband sorted How will I cope????

oooggs · 22/10/2008 20:30

pesha - love the name but what does it say for the rest of us the wrong side of 30 already - cheers J

sol - thinking of you and your family - hope tomorrow goes as well as it can and that you all get some decent rest

ellie - you sound so happy

Hensen - congrats on your new bundle - 4 children you must be mad

crikey I have been poorly bad night last night as I was up and down with children (Erin twice) and I could hardly breathe myself.

Made an apt at drs for 9.30am, dropped James to school and dts to nursery and sat in waiting room for 30 mins still struggling, asthma attack, steriods, unable to walk up stairs ar very far, have had hell of a day, just taken more steriods and things are starting to calm down.

I rwally rang for an ambulance early afternoon as I thought I was suffocating, headache and backache through coughing but thankfully baby seems fine.

So off work sick again

PillockOfTheCommunity · 22/10/2008 20:31

Evening all

Oooggs, your poor lamb You are having an awful time of it aren't you. Hope you can get some respite.

POTC, thanks your FB message Have sent you a message back x

Ange, thank you for your offer of help - it means a lot xx Hope you are ok and J is happier at school.

SMB, how is dh and his man flu?

Dippy, what about the exploding bums?

Everyone else ok??

All ok here. Went to visit Mum this afternoon which was ok. So awful seeing her hooked up to so many wires, but I am just thankful they are on the case. She was exhausted so only spent 20 minutes with her, but so good to see her. Then went to see Dad and do some flower arranging for tomorrow So, all in all an ok day. Dh has been a star. Worked from home and dealt with the girls etc.

Also went to Parent's Evening this evening. Seems B is doing ok, but is cruising and could do better if she applied herself! Tis so so true.

I'm sorry SOL that your mum is so ill.

Congrats Hensden though sorry to hear the hb didn't go quite as planned.

Pesha, glad your namechange wasn't intentional on your part, as I'm nearly 10 years older than you!
