Jan 07: Part 31. Nearly halfway through the terrible twos!

[Lizzzombie]

Welcome to your spanking new thread girls.

Roll call please!

Hi everyone hope you are all well. Glad school is back tomorrow as im going slightly stir crazy. Im off to chester at the weekend for dh birthday child free so should be fun.

Just want to say to eah what a fab mummy you are and he dosent deserve someone as lovely as you xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Eah - just read your post, then had to reread it [hugs]. You sound soooo calm, and as organised as ever . Hope you are doing ok underneath. You really have had a shit summer haven't you. The girls will be absolutely fine as they have such a fabby mum. You have always, and will always, put them first, so they will do great with just you. Am so pleased (but not surprised) to hear that Eddas and Lal have been there for you - no doubt your family have been great too. Much love xx and more [hugs].

Lal - really lovely to hear from you. Enjoy your weekend.

Lizz - your pg is going soooo fast. Is the house slowly turning pink?

Hello to any lurkers.

Coo-ee!
Hope all is well with everyone.

PCF - How are you feeling? Are you all organised? (nice pram btw!)

EAH - Big hugs and I'm glad you FB seem really positive, so I hope you are doing fabulously.

Shimmer - New web site for book shop looks great.

LAL - I am so jealous (in a nice way!) of your fun weekends away! I am hoping to have one away up in London with a uni mate before the baby comes. I am ITCHING for some child free time!

Rgee - This is the longest pregnancy in the world! I am so over it and NEVER EVER EVER doing it again! Heartburn, SPD, insomnia, exhaustion...they've all turned me into a moany old bint!

Am having issues with the babys' name at the moment. We had decided on Elsie. But, now when ever I think of it I just see her as a really precious teenager/twentie something. I can't imagine a grown up called Elsie (apart from an old lady!) I'm stuck. What do you all think?!

Am off to work in a moment. Old shop closed yesterday and so I am starting in the brand new spanking big shop today! It opens on Tuesday so I am not sure exactly what i will be doing today considering I'm fairly useless at lifting stuff! But, its going to be fun playing with a full range of push chairs...and all those gorgeous little baby girl clothes (have gone MAD sticking up for next year!)

Big hugs to everyone! xxx

hola, just thought I would pop over and say 'hi' am having an exciting saturday night in with girls again as he cant have them overnight at his parents, I was doing really well and sorting money etc and getting girls settled into new routine and we were actually starting to talk but then weekends like this floor me and I end up trying to hold it togetehr whilst wanting to lay on my bed and cry and cry about having to be the repsonsible one

Oh and he said all contact with the otehr woman had stopped but saw 3 text messages pop up on his bill this week so he is still in contact with her am trying to be dignified and not call/text her but really feel like ringing her and telling her how they have upset and made my my poor Ellie so upset and worried (Hattie is in Hattie land and not even noticed he isnt here!)

Hi all

eandh . Just tested out the new MN 'inbox' facility and sent you a message.

Lizz I looove Elsie. The 'old' names are making a reet old comeback. Can't believe how quickly your pg has flown (although I presume it doesn't feel like it to you). Have you chosen a new pushcahir yet?

PCF, talking about pg that have flown by, I can't believe you're due soon. Do you have a shortlist of names? How is A getting on at school? Was transport all sorted? Oh, and lol about Toby's temper - it reminds me soooo much of B. Can't wait until his terrible twos . In fact we seem to be almost there already. He is hilarious though, and I am enjoying his stereotypical obsession with cars / tractors / diggers etc.

Hello everyone

eandh - was struggling to think of what to say on fb - still don't really know what to say except I'm gutted for you, really awful. Hope you can keep your head above the water, keep hugging your beautiful girls x

Lizz - hope the new store ok. I think Elsie is pretty and not old at all.

Reg - I think my ds1 is still in the terrible twos even now..! If you ever need anything tractor related, you can always call me!!

We're all ok, totally exhausted. The only respect dd takes after ds2 is in waking at 5am every bloody day and I am shattered. Otherwise she is totally like ds1 (so no doubt will have a filthy temper too ). to anyone else

HI all. Haven't been on in AGES but just wanted to check up on you all!! It's pretty late and I MUST go to bed but just wanted to say really shocked and upset to read your last post EAH and see you've been going through some real shit lately. I know I'm rather late in catching up with this, but I really hope you and the girls are managing okay.

Shall we try and have another SE meet-up sometime soon?? (where everyone not in the SE has to come down!) It would be great to see you all again. PCF, Lizz, is there anyway we can squeeze something in before you both pop?

Hi - I am up for another meet up.
Guessing it would be easier after babies have arrived rather than before though, as PCF is due imminently.

I can't wait to have this baby. I HATE being pregnant. Its turned me into an evil witch!

Eah - Men are pigs. You so don't deserve this. You hair looks fabulous though, so hah - he's missed out on having a salon style wife!

3Happy - How old is LO now?

PCF - Hope baby comes soon! x

I just wanted to post too EAH to say hope you are ok and have lots of friends around you. And agree that the hair looks gorgeous! xxxx

Coo-ee! Anyone around?
Hope you are all well.
My maternity leave starts today!
Think I may just go back to bed until Dylan needs to be picked up from nursery. (yawn) xxx

I am here although not very often these days but woo hoo to maternity leave

Yup - I pop back every now and again in the hope of seeing an old face {erm, no disrespect to anyone...].

Lizz can't believe you're finally on mat leave! How long have you got until the baby is due?

Presume everyone saw the gorgeous pics of PCF's ds4 on FB.

Eah - how are you doing atm? Is life settling down to a new normality or are things tough going? Am always impressed how upbeat you sound on FB.

Erm...just seen FB, so slightly out of date posting an hour ago.... Lizz - congrats!!!!

I second the congratulations!! 9 days early too - bet you're glad to see the back of the heartburn a bit early! Hope it all went well x

Happy New Year everyone! Hope all the little ones enjoyed/enjoy their bdays. xxxx

Oops! That was me in last post. Ruth had a great day today and our house is now so full of toys there is no room for anything else!! Can you believe they are all turning 4?!

Hi Dragon and all lurkers . Happy birthday to today's trio.

It is amazing how quickly the time has flown. P had a great day, and has her party to come this weekend.

How is everyone?

All good here. CHaotic christmas as my brother got married inbetween christmas and new year and all the kids were flower girls/page boys.

Ruth is doing well and since her grommet opperation is like a different child. Her speech is improving daily and her confidence is so much better now she can hear properly. The op was scary, DH had to take her in to be put to sleep but she was very brave and it was quick so we only had to wait 30mins to see her again. Keeping my fingers crossed it stays so good for her especially with school in sept.

Hope everyone else is ok. xxx

Oh dear! Did I kill the thread!

Hope everyone is well. xxx

Good Luck to all the Jan 07 babies starting school! Where did the time go??!!!! xxx
