hi everyone so much to catch up on, feel like I have been away for ages, hope you all have had a lovely Christmas and can you believe it is January tomorrow ?
22 weeks here, yes it is utterly zooming past, have booked private scan for the 9th, I'm doing OK, SPD is bearable much better than last time (touch wood) basically as I have learned my lesson and turned into the worlds laziest person and only walk when necessary.
B is her usual self, she's full of snot right now and coughing loads. I, too, find her a handful, she the worst by far and I thought DD2 was fiery. DD2 I would say in the past 6 months has really calmed down now and you can reason with her whereas before she would go supernova as we called it on the tantrum front. But that has take her to 3 1/2 to calm down a bit. I am sporting a lovely bruise on my forehead where B whacked me with the top of Rosie Cookie Jar (is it even called Rosie Cookie Jar, the FP one), if I tell her NO she will go find something to whack me with or her hands will do. Her first experience of snow was very funny I think she loved the freedom of running outside. She is shoe mad, she goes into the kitchen shouting "SHOOOOOES" we bought her a pair of slippers and she loves them. Words coming thick and fast now "MUM" at the top of her voice still the favourite though. No one believes me when I tell them how fiery she is as she is so cute and dainty with the hugest blue eyes and the longest eyelashes I have seen on another human being, I think this does not bode well for the future.
Christmas was mad, have just spent two days reorganising the house to fit all the new toys in, B has taken to playing with the older twos's Go Go Hamsters the most.
Quiet new year here too.
Pigley - love the pics of Abigail's big girl bed you are so brave, DD1 was 3 before she went into one and DD2 2 1/2 (as B was having the cot) I am firmly in the camp unless they jump out keep them contained, I think DD1 would still be happy in a cot if we had allowed her to be. about the blood pressure thing.
minipink - brrr that is cold we were down about -6 here, too cold and icy to go out really
mcchesers - there will be no stopping Aidan now. remember as well there are so many women I know were told they are having big babies and out pops a 7lbs tiddler, it's not an exact science and they cannot tell, just an estimate really, try to enjoy your pregnancy
minniemummy - how did the scan go?
Disney - loved the Disney pics, Samuel looks like he had a ball
Rumpel - was lol at your wee leaking stories sorry but I am the same, my pelvic floor is one the floor, I have to make sure I go to the toilet a lot and when pregnant it is a lot, coughs are a killer. We have to sing to B to keep her still when nappy changing, she is music, singing and dancing mad, she tried to play the other ones guitars and sings along on the microphones which is very funny. And any music and she is dancing, you know the Sky menu screens the blue ones that have the annoying music well she turns the TV over to dance to it.
ponto - Bryony sounds the exact same as Bethany, complete handful, very messy and clingy, B hates me cuddling anyone else, we have full blown meltdowns here, tears the works.
Right sorry to anyone I have missed, have a lovely New Year everyone I have talked too much x
