bronze, your DH was totally out of order! I can't believe he dumped everything on you like that & then hung up on you when you pointed it out! I hope you're okay xx
Sorry you're suffering, trista - I don't have any insight, I'm afraid I hope you can get seen before Tuesday, though!
Hello DungunGirl! Congratulations on Aden Lee.
Hmm, full updates. Not a lot to report really. Had a lovely time in Brum with my family being really helpful (& totally smitten with George, obviously!) & managed to spend an afternoon with my ex best friend on Tuesday, as she wanted to meet George. We had a massive falling out over 2 years ago & hadn't spoken since, but she got in touch because she'd seen on Facebook that I'd got married (didn't know about the pregnancy!) & decided that some things weren't worth missing out on. It was lovely - I really missed her. I doubt we'll ever be super close again, but it was nice to be able to chat to her & still know each other so well after all this time.
DH & I went out for a meal together without George on Wednesday (yay for my parents) & had a really long chat about a lot of things. I think we made a lot of progress. He has also admimtted that he has snooped on our threads before, despite many promises that he hadn't. Still, at least he's owned up now.
I realised the other day that I'm not struggling with George anywhere near as much as I was - he is getting easier. I actually manage to get a bit of time to myself & can get around to leaving the flat before the shops are all shut. & we can put him down every so often & he's learning to entertain himself for a few minutes. I'm still avoiding dairy, because it does seem to make things a lot harder when I don't, but it's a fair trade off, I think.
Yesterday we spent the whole day sorting out the flat. The nursery has been used as a storage room since we moved in, but we're getting closer to it being an actual room now. It's still not clear of stuff yet & there is furniture to be built, but hopefully we'll be able to move all of the changing stuff out of the living room soon, for example. & it's nice to be able to throw away several bin bags of rubbish. It's kind of liberating - & so good that I can do it because I'm not pregnant!
Nutty - yay for sex! Especially good sex! & I'm glad that you had a nice time at the zoo - you needed that. Which you needed more, I'm not sure
Thanks for the lemon cake, WFH. You may have inspired me to bake this afternoon (I told you I'm managing better with this whole baby thing! I'm considering baking!)
The awards! Ooh! Most prolific poster runner up? Seriously? I'm not even close! Argh! I'm scrolling down & my name keeps coming up! & I was reading them out to DH when I got to the worse MIL award To be fair though, I definitely can't claim that - just look at Nutty's! But I am very touched that my name came up so much - I feel very special
Cute soundtrack, too - I think I'll be making myself a playlist!
Thanks for doing the awards, BB - lovely
bronze Glad you're feeling a bit better. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you with so many small ones. As for clothes sizes, my hips are at least 2 sizes bigger than they were, even though I look fine.
