April 2008 - The one with the arrival of little sisters!

[Scorps]

Here's to PM's new little girl to come very soon, oh yes and my dd2

THanks all. Am eating chocolate cake which is slightly helping. Am still feeling a bit teary though, even more so with you lot being all lovely and offering virtual wine and ice cream.

Oh and happy birthday to soph DS1

Oh yes, sorry, happy birthday to your son, Soph! I've got pregnancy brain, tummy, hips... Maybe it's the sympathy-kind to match the crazy lucky ladies on here.

Thank you - have just eaten the last piece of DS1's birthday cake and ... even if I do say so myself ... it was blardy lurvely

mmm birthday cake.... hippy burpday to your DS1.

Ellie, you're obviously too good for them. Here have a bottle of pimms and a straw.....

Soph, so nice to hear Sam is on his way..... get the stair gates out!

Sal, still very of you!! Glad R had a nice time at tantrem. Back to work Wednesday so think of me....

BR

Good morning!

Ellie, hope you're feeling a tiny bit better now. Obviously nothing I can say to make it better, but something else will come up eventually. Even though they messed you around, you at least know that you're making a great impression, so just keep on being your fabulous self, and keep applying if you see any good jobs.

BunnyR, enjoy your last day of freedom before tomorrow.

Obviously makes typing much harder, but I can't help laughing at R: When he sees me typing on my laptop, he comes running up, closing the laptop, then happily runs off playing with his toys again! So whilst I'm not required with the toys all the time, I have to be available immediately.

Have to get ready, as have to pop in at my old workplace this morning to pick something up. I should prob make an effort and blow-dry my hair properly and not just go as my "ah, but it's clean" default!

Hey all - thanks for pimms and stuff, I am much better today. DH came home with some chocolate for me (emotional eating, me? No!) so that made me much happier.

sal - LOL at the attempts at grooming - these days if I'm clean and dressed I think that's an achievement!

goodness, just dressed is an achievment here!

Hmmm may be this is where I go wrong. I am always washed, dressed, hair done and make up on, but the house is a tip .

I now have a sparkley new washing machine and am finding it difficult to concentrate on the things I should do to day as it's my last day of freedon..

BR

Afternoon

BR - I think we're still a long way off stair gates but it is lovely to see that he is now moving around independently Hope you're managing to put today to good use in preparation for your return to work Good luck for tomorrow.

I'm also a bit like you BR - as in, I'm always dressed, hair done, jewellery & perfume on (can't be arsed with make-up though tbh) but our house looks like a skip, just not quite so smelly

I don' wear jewellery (allergic to it all, even my wedding rings ) but yes, am always dressed etc and yes, skip!

Just pooped on with some vids:

BIL on the horse at the back

DS1 is the first little lad on the front lower deck, ds3 is the bored looking kid hanging off the back seahorse LOL

about the only thing I got to do this year, the sign

Oh sorry

Ellie . Sound advice fromSal there.

Soph- Yay sam! Ds3 crawled like that for ages, he got quite speedy.

Sal- hows your Mum doing? Glad they'll be here soon

Wow Peachy that looks like so much fun!

Hi ladies... interesting to read about languages before! I've just come back from Sweden with DD. On the way there I did a real pregnancy brain thing: I went to the wrong airport!!! Duh. DH dropped us off at Gatwick, I looked at the board and couldn't find our flight. Then checked the print-out and realised I had in fact booked the flight from Stansted! There was no chance of making it there in time. So I had to pay £113 for a new ticket and wait 5 hours for the next flight! Try running around an airport chasing after a toddler with a suitcase in tow... (had to wait ages before we could even check in). Oh well, at least we made it there in the end!

Thanks peachy
Can't see vids spoilsport work 'puter won't let me on youtube - they'd ban MN too if they realised how much time I spend on it! Nice sign though

anna - doh! Sounds like just the kind of thing I'd do though so won't laugh too much!

Oh anna I will not lauch.. much

laugh even

Wow Peachy, that's really impressive!

Anna Sorry, sympathies.

Well everybody, just a quick post as we're leaving in 2 hours and I haven't packed yet. Oops.

Thanks so much for the support with my mom. Her op's been moved to the 14th of Oct now. If all goes well (which I believe it will), she'll be in intensive care for 2 days and hospital for 3. I'm glad that I'll be there during that time though. Please pray for us this coming Wednesday. xxx

Well, this is me then, I'm off for 3 weeks. With my parent's rubbish internet connection I might not be able to keep in touch, but will try at least. Have fun and keep out of trouble (yes, I know, a contradiction!)

xxx
me

Ooh, quick one: I got the most comfortable pair of boots (from Ecco) yesterday. I almost wish it wasn't summer in SA now, as I want to wear them all the time. :D

Sal - have a fab time & see you soon

Anna - , sorry ... you poor thing, bet you'll be checking & double-checking every bit of paperwork now

Well the occupational therapist said this morning that Sam now doesn't need to wear his arm splints or leg "pull-together" thingy (two loops of material, joined in the middle, one loop round top of each leg to pull them together) while doing his exercises. Very proud mummy

He was also waving bye-bye to the kiddies who were leaving nursery last night when I went to pick him up and every time Mabel said "Ciao" Sam was going "a-doo" as though he was trying to say "adios" - cute

Peachy - very impressive sign & great vids

Hey all.

Just catching up!

Hey there How's it going?

Evening all.

LOL Anna, you wont do that again in a hurry.

Sal have a lovely trip home. Sorry to hear your mums news, wishing her a speady recovery from surgery.

Peachy, love the sign, v artistic.

Im very impressed with everyones talking children. DD2 is positively lazy, if were really lucky she might do some animal noises (cat, dog and lion only) apart from that everything is dada or ugg but with a pointing figer so we get the idea of what she wants.

Ellie, sorry you didnt get the job, they say things happen for a reason, maybe that reason is there is an even better job going to come up in the new year!

Worst week EVER ever ever

So many horrid things have happened to me this week.

My Ex reported me to SSand sent me a three page solictiors letter LOL, we had the police round cos DH told Ex to fuck off. Ex went to school for the first time this week (R in yr 3 lol) and the headteacher, Rs teacher and SENCO sat there and told him i was perfect and how hard ASD can be. He went to this appt after solicitors, in which the letter suggests i am creating Rs ASD and that he thinks R should live with him (even though he cant help me for 3-5 days, but oh yes, he can live there PMSL). Basically instead of helping me more, he has involved outside agencies who are laughing at him. No one has any concerns over anything. Wanker.

I have waited in all sodding day for the Helath Vistior to do an antenatal visit and i have just rung them to tell them off, appt apparently at 10am and no-show yet.

My lost baby was due today.

I was so cross (and had held it in) at DH about what he did to me that i let total rip on him and made him cry for hours. Have only seen him cry once before and that was when Mimi born. Was very bittersweet.

I have had a D&V bug, and at 29 weeks pg its not nice.

Umm i think thats it.

But strangly i think HA SOD YOU @ ex. I have so many plans . Everyone he has contacted to try to get something bad said, everyone has said i am perfect and couldnt do anymore if i wanted to.

DH & I are ok. I havent apologised but i know i now need to let it go if i want my life to continue as so. He is still (after 10 weeks) contuining with the rules and is not going out, apart from fishing with my Dad. (v trustworthy). He has asked me out for dates, is being there for me all the time, etc. Has been fabulous re R and ex, not moaned once. I feel guilty over the stick i give him about Z now

Think i need a holiday

Ellie, apparently he has said to SS that he has concerns over Reilly's behaviour. What will they want/do? Have not heard from them yet.

Oh Scorps you poor thing However, as you know, your ex obviously doesn't have a leg to stand on & everyone is on your side and not his. He's just trying his damndest to piss you off because he's a complete wanker. And people like that never realise that it actually makes them look worse than the person they're trying to get at. Just keep on laughing at him & if social services do contact you & come and visit they will see for themselves the real situation. Can't offer any advice on that side of things as don't know how it works. I'm sure Ellie will be able to reassure you.

As far as having a go at your DH and making him cry is concerned I'm sure he was probably aware that this was bound to happen at some point. If you want to, apologise for the way you said it (do not apologise for what you said) & then move on. If he's got any sense he won't hold it against you.

Sorry about your lost baby

Hope you feel better soon and I'm very on your behalf about the HV.
