AUGUST 2008 - New Thread LOL!

[TwilightSurfer]

Ta DA!

Straightjacket: One long sleeve t-shirt belonging to me worn by DD1 with sleeves tied nicely behind her. Now run along and try it. It's fun.

ALBS, I honestly can't remember life past yesterday apart from Reese being very ill for 7 whole horrible days. Such is my update.

Captain, I will be having a meetup soon with Miamla via Skype. I hate missing out on all the fun so I've figured out a way to work around the whole ATLANTIC OCEAN problem.

OH speaking of which, if there's a meetup in a posh location where you have internet access I could join you now.

Buckets your DH's results give me peace of mind. My DH should be at that zip point.

Tired! Busy day doing nonsense touristy things. Glad to be home.

TS am guessing that was me you were hoping to skype - sorry trying to work out what time you posted - I think 5.30am ish here so yes thanks to DS was awake but not online!

Hi Albs.

DS can now say no!

Hold on TS I'm off to buy a test this morning! Had a kind of anxiety attack last night, like I used to get after sex when pg - probably a combination of being hormonally vulnerable and holding my breath watching a 9-11 documentary. Took me ages to calm down with some shivasana, my head kept snapping left and right with tension and I could feel all the anxiety in my joints. But then this morning my body tried to throw up a glass of squash - so now I am worried again. Maybe it's the menopause???

lol @ 'maybe it's the menopause'. With your history Buckets I'd say that's an outside chance.

Sorry for possibly joking at an inappropriate moment, my tact gland is on the blink after last night's performance. Finally got him off to sleep at 10pm after much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Still have no idea what was going on - think it was a combination of sore mouth/teething/overtired/proto-wilfulness. He was in a right state by the time he dropped off, bright crimson in the face, glassy eyed, and mechanically honking out cries without producing any actual tears.

He slept in with us and had semi-wake ups at 1.30, 4.30 and 5.30 [bleurgh] all of which were resolved by parking him on the boob. Having decided yesterday afternoon that actually I do want to stop bf now because I'm not really enjoying it, this was not very encouraging.

So of the three of us, guess who is enjoying life this morning and stealing toast crusts off me with every sign of pleasure?

Feel like a crap mum. Oh, and I've just remembered my counsellor is coming at 10, something else I'm really not in the mood for.

Cyteen - you are not a crap mum. I have no will power when DD does this, I end up taking her down stairs to play and then putting her to be MUCH later when she has fallen asleep on either of us. It is normally a 1 off evening thing. Hope your counselling goes okay this morning. {{{HUGS}}}

DD was up at 12 and 4 then slept until 7am. MIL told me yesterday that I needed to make a firm stand with her on the sleeping front and stop mollycoddling her with my boobs I told her neither of us were ready to give up yet and it was the only time she fed so I am happy to let her have it. She was also weighed yesterday pre jabs and has lost again HV was fine with it but thinks she may still need the night feeds as she is too busy during the day to think about milk.

We are off to say good bye to friend who are moving abck to SA part of me wishes it was me.

DD whinging so I'm off to try and explain why she can't wear 2 pairs of shoes and wellies at the same time!

Oh what a surprise, DS is in his cot complaining instead of napping. Am cancelling my appointment, the last thing I want to do today is go over my shitty life history with some fag-smelling bloke who looks like he's had his face ironed.

Big hugs Cyteen.. hope your day gets better.

Good luck with the test buckets.. as i have been there myself recently scary time but u will get through it hugs..

well nursery time at the library starts again for us so me and dd2 will be attendance.. still have a massive cold and cough so will be hacking my way through patter cake patter cake!!!

Thank you all for your lovely wishes.. its been a rollar coaster of a ride but the outcome was right so onwards and upwards..

hope you all have a good day xx

Cyteen is he teething? DD sleeps little and whinges constantly, refuses her cot and will only be settled once she has dug her way into my skin! If you are not in the right frame of mind to deal with the counsellor then cancel - It's not going to make anything seem dealable with if you are too tired to cope.

I think he probably is. He went to sleep eventually but there has just been some muttering from above. I feel so rubbish as I am in a foul mood - not with him, just been feeling very glamourless and in need of some time to myself the last couple of days - but I hate for him to even be around such horrible vibes from me, iyswim.

Have left a message on the helpline for the counsellor, let's see if they manage to pass it on He's due at 10 so if he turns up I'll just have to say sorry, you obviously didn't get my message, bye.

BFN woohoo! But still no AF, still crazy, off to look up early menopause. Will take this confirmation of our infertility as a boot up the backside to find a regular babysitter and get out more together.

Cyteen If he does turn up just make up an alternative life story to amuse yourself.

LOL! Buckets I woke up around 5am to resettle Reese and dug out the last test stick in my bathroom cabinet. BFN too. Only CD26 but boobs had just been a little too achey through the night for me not to worry. What is it with achey boobs in my old age? That never happened before.

Cyteen ((((hugs))))

Laughing at Poppy and her shoe fetish.

Hi everyone. I am back.

I have survived the week, and enjoyed it too.

My dnephew (5yrs) however sais he no longer likes babies.
In fact he said. I hate babies and when are you going home, and when I told him he said good I think they should die.
Kids eh??
I did tell him it wasnt't nice to say things link that.

I have tried to catch up on as much as possible, will try again later.

loti sorry for what you have been through last few weeks.

buckets great news on bfn Is it??

cyteen thinking of you toady, you are certainly not a crap mum. The tears and tantrums are hard on anyone. You are fantastic.

Off to catch up more, but before I go.

I am LATE too. I have a very regular 28 day cylce. Always have. I am now cd32.
I have also had what I think is thrush this last week.
Is this a symptom of pregnancy, or could this make me late????
So I know it only takes one time, and it would be dhs everso reliable with draw technique.

Did any of that make sense. I think maybe not.

I am stuck in waiting for the delivery of a saddle and some......Astro turf don't ask....

No1 'Toady' LOL. I too have thrushiness and wondered if that could be making me late. Don't see how though.

I have new niece. Rebecca was born at 9.45 this morning weighing in at 7lbs15oz - all well

congrats dizzy on new neice

poor things buckets and No1, I have to say I haven't heard of thrush being related to making af late but then I must confess that I don't know everything (shhhh!)(and my dh is attending your dh's school of contraception NO.1)

cyteen (((((hugs)))) to you. HOpe you feel a little better now, and you know you're not a shite mum at all - just look back on all your loving descriptions of your little darling fella. Did the counsellor get the message?

Holiday photos now on fb

CC the one of you and DS1 on your sister's FB is priceless you need to get it blown up and framed!

LOL! No1, it's a universal method of choice, and one my doctor likes to call the parenthood method.

CONGRATULATIONS AUNTY DIZZY!!!! The more babies the merrier!!!!!

Back to work.......

Congrats on baby Rebecca awwwwwwwwww

vg hey, you give great advice.

I am sat here tapping away in the dark again, next to dd.
Bit of a hard going day sat in with them both waiting for deliveries grrrr.
Hpowever ds settled straight away and dd was asleep within 5 min. All good.

So why am I sat here in the dark struggling to type.

My dsis has just text me to say she has something for me from my dbrother.

A pregnancy test.
He called earlier and I mentioned I was late and he begged me to test, I said I would rather wait a few days first. So since this afternoon him and my dsil have been fighting who would drive up and fetch me the test.

So text chat to sister
dsis: I have something for you from brother
Me:LOL
Dsis:You won't be!
Oh and she now jsut text to say that my sil miscarried which is why they didn't come to Ds birthday.
Now feel bad for sending sarcastic comment, the day after his Birthday.
