Aw bet youll cry tomorrow Simpson hope it all goes well.
LaTurkey lots of good vibes for your scan tomorrow. I think theres a compliment in there somewhere from your DH isnt there . Great news on the development appt
Well I have just had a horrid afternoon. I was speechless and I shall tell you why. I put George and Edward down for their nap as usual about 12.30. They usualy have a little chat for about 10 mins then drop off. I ate my lunch and sat down to go on the pc. They were still giggling at 1 so I popped my head in and asked them to go to sleep. 10 mins still giggling so I went back in and got the shock of my life. Edward had done a pooh in his nappy, took it off and the pooh was in Georges cot so George had pooh all over his hands, feet, face and cot Edward was in his bed in Georges grow bag also covered in pooh. Duvet, pillow, himself. I went absolutely mad. I put George in the bathroom. Showered and scrubbed him. Stripped the beds off. Smacked and shouted at Edward and scrubbed him in the shower. I was heaving with anger I can tell you after we had all calmed down and I finnished scrubbing the cot I asked Edward why he did it? 'Georgey told me too' Well I stood him in the corner until he told me the truth. Which was because its very naughty
I can remember my neice doing something very similar at about the same age and my sister going mad at her and I was sniggering in her front room. Now I realise its just not funny.

AngeChica · 14/12/2009 21:24

I need to revert to text speak here ... OMGGG Gingeme!

I would imagine your DH is quite right Lat!

Happy Christmas to the JKS's!

I was really looking forward to a family get together on Sat - a favourite uncle's 60th birthday and not too far away either. But we had to bring DS home before the meal as he spewed all over my nan's cream carpet, and again all over my aunt's cafe floors . Another 24 hour bug, crap sleep, ho hum.

I think I have discovered an exciting secret - DH is taking me away for a night for our wedding anniversary (New Year)!

madmouse · 14/12/2009 21:54

Ginge it is not even funn reading it from a distance. Cannot blame you for losing your rag - that's just horrid to clear up and deal with. Sounds like you sorted it well.

Simpson cry - that I gotta see. Simps I'm coming too

Hi everyone. Better get on with putting up tree.

Hope all well tomorrow LaT - dh sounds right though!!

Lilyloo - what blooming marvelous code???

Gingeme - sounds even worse than the time M's poo and pooled at the bottom of her sleeping bag not suprised you were

Lat - keep us posted on tom. Will think of you

Ange - yay for DH. Hope A better soon...

JustKeepSparkling · 15/12/2009 09:25

Ginge - yuk yuk yuk!!!!

Simps - have a good assembly-proud-mummy-time

well, we are off to london later today so i should be packing....can't even get my head round what to start with, have piles of stuff we've gathered over the last few weeks, need to make sense of it all now.

fillybuster · 15/12/2009 10:37

Gingeme - how utterly grim...I would have totally flipped too....really not funny, even from here

Simpson - enjoy assembly

Lilyloo - please can you repost the blooming marvellous code? pretty please?

jks - hope the packing goes well...have attempted to facebook you again to arrange a meetup next week

LaT - let us know about the scan!

Ange - so sorry, hope he recovers soon

I've still got this yukky tummy bug, its been over a week now and I'm bored of feeling terrible the whole time. Even worse, I'm supposed to be accompanying ds' class tomorrow to see Room on the Broom at the theatre. He's really excited because only 3 mums got chosen to go, and because I'm usually at work he's never had his mum on a class trip before....I really don't want to let him down but I've been so ill all night and morning I don't see how this is going to work. Plus my MIL is supposed to be looking after Tamara whilst I'm out and she's got a stinking cold....

gingeme · 15/12/2009 11:46

All the best JKS
Filly its heart breaking isnt it? Try explaining there will be other trips Mummy will go on with him soon
How was the assembly Simpson? All well I hope.
We have just got back from playgroup where Santa payed a visit. George was not impressed He was being a real bum to the other children too. Shouting at them if they went near a toy he wasnt actualy playing with but was near you can tell hes nearly two.
Nothing planned for the rest of the day realy. Just finnishing the washing from yesterday

madmouse · 15/12/2009 12:38

Filly you don't want to be my facebook friend?

fillybuster · 15/12/2009 14:19

Madmouse - I thought I accepted you ages ago?

LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster · 15/12/2009 14:22

I don't know anything about a blooming Marvellous code ?
Just posted a nice little m&s stocking filler one though , reduced , 3 for 2 and free delivery

LaTurkey · 15/12/2009 15:36

Lilyloo - Here you are, forgetfulhead! The code seems to work on everything.

Gingeme - that would totally finish me off just now.

Filly - as would that. I am now officially due on the 30th of June so CAN join you thread. I will, as soon as I start feling better and have something nicer to say than, 'I feel sick.'

All the best to both of you.

Ange - oo lovely. Any idea where?

Madmouse - sorry about the other night. I wasn't really there. Someone I don't want to be friends wiht has added me as a friend and I made an attempt to sort it out. Didn't. Feeling a bit invaded there.

JKS - hope you got sorting down and are now feeling calm and prepared. Will you be able to keep us posted while in London?

So, scan was fine. There's one baby, one heartbeat and so far all the proper bits and pieces. The midwife did refer to the baby as 'he' and now I'm wondering if they saw something but that's pretty much impossible at this stage, isn't it? My hunch is it IS a boy, but I'm sure I thought that last time too. I really don't mind as long as it arrives safe and sound.

Am eyeing up cute 'very hungry caterpillar' sleepsuit on Blooming Marvellous.

Scan and booking in was all over lunch and nap time, so Sabela ate nothing, didn't sleep and is now chilling out in front of Ceebeebies. She seems very keen on the idea of a baby coming to live in the house but I know she really has no idea.

Good day

LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster · 15/12/2009 16:54

Double that i forgot

LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster · 15/12/2009 16:55

Great news on scan LaT

madmouse · 15/12/2009 17:04

LaT so pleased to hear all is well. A very experienced radiographer CAN sometimes see it at this stage but will not normally say in case they got it wrong.

Glad to hear dh was right x

Don't apologise - have you got rid of that person now? You can remove someone as a friend and they will not be notified.

Filly - no it says friend request awaiting confirmation.

Oh well I am being a pita to dh and myself. Nathan has swollen lymph glands and antibiotics have mostly cleared up an eye infection that he had for weeks but the glands are still there. Will need to take him back to docs on thu if still there. I have deep rooted anxieties caused by my past and Nathan's early days and not helped by the ptsd so I now have convinced myself Nathan has some scary cancer and will die. FYI he has just finished an exhausting physio session and is currently pelting toys through the room at high speed. How to drive yourself mad. Long live Rescue remedy.

Madmous e- I never knew the meaning of fear until DD was born. I spent the first months calculating all the terrible things that could happen to her. My friend felt exactly the same and neither of us had PND - though both had traumatic births. Dh felt the same. Maybe what you have is similar but deeper and extended? If so, you aren't entirely alone in how you're feeling.

madmouse · 15/12/2009 17:26

Thanks LaT xx

simpson · 15/12/2009 18:02

LaT - yay on the scan!!

JKS - keep us posted with how things are going in GOSH. Will be thinking of you...

Gingeme - assembly really good and no tears from me!! Although M could not understand why she xould not go and sit with him.

A bit at myself as I forgot camera and J was riht at the front too Oh well..

Lilyloo - going to look at Blooming marvelous code when kids in bed. LOL at forgetting though...

Filly - hope you feel better soon, rotten luck about tomorrow

Hi to everyone else

AngeChica · 15/12/2009 21:34

Lovely LaT.

AngeChica · 15/12/2009 21:35

Little teeny baby clothes.... sigh

AngeChica · 16/12/2009 22:38

Maybe I should join the thread killer thread?

madmouse · 17/12/2009 08:55

I'm here

Felt bad this morning...

Went in to get M 10mins before leaving house for school run as usual (she has breakfast when we come back) and she was literally covered in sick

I did not hear her in the night at all!!!

Had visions of her choking in the night and me not realising

Hope everyone else ok....

LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster · 17/12/2009 09:45

Ange

Poor M Simps , how is she now ??

Mmouse how you , sorry to hear that N being ill has triggered things for you again Hope he is on the mend soon.

Nothing much on here today , might wrap all familys presents this afternoon when M has her nap. Witing in for parcels today.
M had xmas party yesterday so that was the last one H had his earlier in the week and L was last week.
They finish tom but seems a long way unitl xmas to keep them contained

fillybuster · 17/12/2009 11:12

Lily - your BM code is ace, I've just ordered a load of new mat clothes...thanks

Simpson - poor M, and poor you. Try not to feel too guilty, its not as though she was screaming for you in the night and you were ignoring her...

I made it to DS's theatre trip yesterday..hurrah! It was a little bit touch-and-go in the morning but I managed to get out of the house and keep dodgy tummy under control for the whole morning - he was so so so happy to have me there Of couse i then overdid it the rest of the day and collapsed into bed shaking at 7.30pm, as soon as I had the kids down, but it was worth it. DH did a good job of feeding & bathing me when he got home and woke me up

Bit concerned though, as I weighed myself this morning and I'm exactly the same as I was before I got pg...and I'm 14.5 weeks. I know that normally I put on waaay too much weight at this stage, and it probably doesn't matter, but I am a bit worried that flump isn't being treated very well at the moment....please tell me I'm being silly and the bug/weight loss won't affect the baby?
