Yay Jas .

He is huge already EPPM. I'm amazed at how he's suddenly filling his 0-3 sleepsuits. Did I say the other day that he's 13lbs now?

I saw the friend who bought the popperless sleepsuit today, and registered my complaint . She was totally ed, as she'd been careful to pick one with turnover feet bits etc, and to avoid blue for some variety, but it hadn't even occurred to her that anyone would make one without poppers, so she hadn't checked.

Another reasonable night last night, though he rejected the Amby. Not sure where dh will sleep tonight if ds wants his space .

How is your pregnancy going now EPPM? No more contractions or dodgy heart things?

Great news Jas!

CSWS_ you have a sofa don't you?

I had some odd arythmias a couple of days ago, but apart from that, just BH.
My ketones were raised today though (m/w visit) which is odd, but I haven't eaten loads this week- not been hungry really- so maybe it's just that- they've never been raised before. BP is excellent, as always.
Hope yours is ok Phoenix- you should have had yours redone by now?

am 3/5 engaged though, but of course he may pop back out again... but he has been hammering (painfully) on my cervix for last 7 days or so- eek.

Phoenix · 11/12/2008 19:46

Gosh he does look huge csws

Yay for Mac fixing for free Jas

EPPM you seem to have been pg forever

Had my BP done on Weds and it was perfectly normal. I've got my scan date for 5th Jan. Just can't wait for that to make sure everything's ok.

Nah- Jan 21st.
I hate being pg- it does last forever.

CSWS- hope last night was good for some sleep?

CantSleepWontSleep · 12/12/2008 17:15

It was reasonable EPPM, but considering he'd slept 3.45-6.45 (with a feed an hour in) that was as good as I could have expected! He's not slept much during the day today (25 mins plus 45 mins plus up to half an hour (was in dark in car so couldn't see whether asleep or just quiet), so I'll be disappointed if we don't get a good night tonight.

EachPeachPearMum · 12/12/2008 20:00

sounds like things are improving a little.
I think all his sleep has transferred to DD- she is going to bed at 7-7.30 and getting up at 8.30, 9, 9.30 today!
I don't know what is wrong with her- she is tired all day too Hope she's not coming down with something- she seems bright enough in herself, but so tired, and over-tired poor thing.
Won't have a nap after lunch mind you!

EachPeachPearMum · 13/12/2008 21:18

I am here, just reading stuff... going to bed in a minute- had a hectic, scrappy day. DD was good as gold though thankfully, and took it all in her stride.
Managed to get a christmas tree... though not as tall as we wanted
2008 shall be known in our house as the year of the short tree.....

EachPeachPearMum · 13/12/2008 21:18

Ph, meant to add....

'Meh!'

Jas · 14/12/2008 09:43

I'm busy with rl stuff

PoinsettiasScareMe · 14/12/2008 09:48

No read thread, just nosied at pics - doesn't he look like Pippa?!

PoinsettiasScareMe · 14/12/2008 09:48

Just scanned thread... or not according to EPPM!

EachPeachPearMum · 14/12/2008 20:08

erm- I wouldn't take my word for it - I am faceblind!
I'm assuming you're Flame?

We put the tree up, and actually it doesn't look too small- is quite bushy and broad. It's a little taller than I am, plus with the stand, it comes to around 6', so not too bad.

It did take all day to sort though and the house is an utter tip now- DH had to empty the closet to find the tools (ie the saw) so he left everything out, as he 'knew I wanted to clear out the closet anyway' wow- thanks.
PLus as we had to rearrange all the living room furniture to fit tree in the window, that room is in chaos too.
Will sort out tomorrow when DD is at nursery...

Frizbe · 15/12/2008 13:29

feck just typed huge things to you all and lost sodding wireless connection, am at work on crap pc...with crap connection, will not type it all again, but Hi and much love to all, catch you properly soon, hopefully! x

CantSleepWontSleep · 15/12/2008 20:13

No tree yet.

ds has been asleep on my bed (on tummy) since 7pm. I've put dd to bed, cleaned living room floor, tidied up some stuff, and am now going to write some thank you cards - hurrah!

EachPeachPearMum · 15/12/2008 20:20

Hello Friz! I hate it when that happens....

Glad he is sleeping a little csws!

I have spent today putting everything back in the closet neatly - Wow! You can actually walk in there and find things now
I love it when it's like that, but it never lasts long
I also wrapped DD's christmas presents and stocking stuff, and MIL's and SIL's too!
DH has gone for a nap (got up at an unearthly hour this am) so I might just do his too...
Am going to make a vat of chilli tomorrow to freeze for January....what fun.

Jas · 15/12/2008 20:53

Hello all

Sleeping boy is good csws, glad you are getting some of those jobs done csws. (Couldn't you just put thankyou in the Christmas cards and save writing twice?)

I've also sorted our cupboard under the stairs...I've got all the presents down from the loft and hidden them behind dps tools.
I need to rewrap but I'm going to leave it to the last minute I think.

We've been loaned a tree We've always had a real one, and just couldn't fit it in the budget, so my friend whose ds will pull theirs down has lent me hers for the year
It is just the right size for our little house!

I'm hoping to be around more this week....dp finally has some work after being unemployed for ages. (and hogging the computer when it worked, too)
Still nothing long term, but anything is a help atm

EachPeachPearMum · 15/12/2008 21:21

Jas- great news re work and tree! sounds like a good monday....

Ah yes- the re-wrapping.... could DS do some?

Jas · 15/12/2008 22:04

lol.

I've hidden everything so well, I will have to empty the cupboard again to get it all out

Jas · 15/12/2008 22:06

Yes, a very good Monday. I was starting to lose sleep, so will have a good rest tonight.

I'm trying very hard not to complain, as however broke we are, I know dp is doing his best, and we are getting on well atm.
My good friends d(?)h walked out on her last week. She is 6 months pg with their 4th child ffs!

EachPeachPearMum · 15/12/2008 22:26

that is awful, poor woman. Poor children

Jas · 15/12/2008 22:31

It is really awful. There is some chance of them trying again, but she has just had the worst week of her life, and the oldest two are big enough to have lived through it all with her
