Dec 08 ladies getting re-clackered, with tantrums from toddlers we're sure to be knackered

[traceface]

Loved your title rubs
Never started a thread before so hope this works...can anybody find it?
hello....

hi ladies
Just a fleeting greeting! Am meeting a friend at the park very soon with Lucy, then having a MacD's afterwards but DH has taken L to B+Q and hasn't returned her yet so I think I'll be late. Grr.
Anyway it gives me a few mins on my own I impressed myself by cycling P to nursery today, then to the drs then the chemist the the post office! I've got wobbly legs now! I've decided I must make myself do some exercise every day as I'm putting weight on rather rapidly . We'll see how long it lasts...
mom so glad your weekend was enjoyable. I have no experience of your loss, but I imagine you will have good days and bad days - and you must never feel guilty for the good days. You seem very strong.
WG hope your first 'session' goes well this week. Thinking of you.
Katie and Beans it must be so emotional all this house stuff. Let yourselves have a good old cry when you need to
Now I have a mega TMI question...
Ahhh DH and L are back so it will have to wait!
Back later...park time for me
xxx

WG - Just caught a typo in my post....I meant undeserved. Is that even a word, actually??

Trace - Suspense about your TMI question!

Ah trace don't keep us waiting with your TMI question!! Tee hee! hurrah for the exercise though I can't imagine you getting fat!

beans why are you cleaning your parents house? Or am I confused?? I think I must have missed what you were doing over the weekend...I know originally your DH wanted to go to Cumbria or something.....he sounds like he is being a pain in the bum again. Give him a kick up the arse!! I am being mean and grumpy and hormonal at the moment. Was not as sympathetic as I should have been when DH was ill over weekend.

mom glad you are doing ok, and that you had a good weekend despite it all.

Oh gosh, hi SL - we went down to stay at my parent's house instead of up to Cumbria - only 45 mins in the car... And invited just one couple to stay too. But at end of stay, think it's nice to leave the house spick and span. Perhaps I was just being a bit anal!

Trace - come on with your question....!

Were your parents there? I would clean my parents house if they weren't there, but not if they were, just help as we went along if you see what I mean.

Oh and sorry you are feeling emotional about leaving the house! Not surprising though. I think I will be when we leave ours (if we ever do) and we have only been there 5 years. My first owned house though! We went round to see the vendor of the house we are buying yesterday to ask a few questions though, and I had another look round the house, and I still love it!! Which is good really!

No, they're on holiday, so leaving it nice for them.

Oh lovely that you still like it - hurray!

Man, our cleaner is leaving us today after 4 years. Am v sad. And don't know how I'll cope without her - she irons!!!!

A-ha, that makes sense!!!

Oh my gosh - we're going to need a new thread title soon - bagsy not me - I'm rubbish!!!

OMG - I feel like my fanny is going to fall out today. Think the baby might come sooner rather than later!

beans your baby's probably going to be born on the next thread!!! Haha, hope that scared you!

hi all. Beans new chapter new memories. Hope you feel better soon x

Mom glad you are feeling better

Happy birthday baby sybs.

Jam how was shopping? You were a stones throw from mil's why are you there? I'd have met up if you wanted.

I think there was loads more I was going to say but am a bit tired and low today.
In the midst of db-gate again and it's getting dull.

oh yes - congrats to babypanda!
ouch re nipple biters and katie - let me know on the deciding day - need to check car situation out with dh. really need to get other car taxed soon!

Thanks veg - he 's currently napping in bed. He sometimes still comes out but then i put him back and just hold the door knob which he tried a second time to open but with no success just goes back to bed and stays there (thank God he's not too persistent!)

I have no idea what to eat for lunch today. haven't got round ot it yet, apart from some crisps.

Afternoon all. We had a shocker of a night last night, no idea what was up but BabyPanda was not a happy bunny at 3.30am or 5.30am when she had a total meltdown (arch back, screaming, kicking floor...) Hey ho! I've been watching video of her walking all day, can't stop beaming over it.

Went to boxing class at lunchtime today for the first time in ages (after my first run in ages yesterday too). I WILL get fit again. I WILL i WILL [stamps foot stubbornly]

ah ha I'm back!
Sorry to have kept you in suspenders
Well here goes (look away now if you're of a delicate disposition!)
Last night DH and I had sex - not a hugely frequent occurence since P was born - and a horrid thing happened...as I was about have a pleasurable moment a bit of wee came out . How yak is that! It's never happened before. I know things aren't perfect in my ladyzone, ie I leak when i sneeze or get a really suddent urge sometimes when washing up (!), but it's never happened in that situation before . Has that happened to anyone else? What if it happens again? DH didn't notice - or at least didn't say anything, but I feel so dirty and rubbish.
There. Sorry about that.
Was wondering whether to post on the wider MN about it, maybs in a health bit, but will test the water here first. And I'd need to change my name coz some of my RL friends are on MN and that would be too wierd.
Beans have you decided about lunch yet?

Beans I am horrified with your DH & friends. I'm not one of the cleaner upperer types (you know the lovely people at kids parties who help clean up afterwards) but on a weekend type thing that you had everyone chips in and helps and I could not sit around and watch a heavily pregnant women clean like that. Also with the nappy in the sack thing, WTF, yes he does have to do everything. Sometimes if DH is changing a nappy I might take said pooey nappy do the scrape and put it in the nappy bucket but that's not a given. Our thing is why should 2 people have to wash their hands. It would be like stacking the dishwasher and then expecting that you should put the tablet in & turn it on. How stupid is that. Really your DH is lucky you are so understanding.

Trace well done on the cycling, but i really cannot imagine you as anything other than svelt.

WG I had a nice homebirth, but at the end of the day they are still babies and will bring put the worst in your 'friend' eventually. Doesn't matter how blissful the birth was eventually the little beggers will bring you to your knees. Oh and I don't care how blissful people they their birth was there is still that moment when you would quite happily lay down and let anyone cut the thing out of you if they offered. DH still laughs about me demanding the MW pull DS2 out of me just after his head came out.

Oh and Trace poor you! That would completely stop my...um pleasurable moment. Thankfully I seem to have got some joy from kegels and just today was pleasantly surprised when I sneezed twice with a full bladder and didn't sneak out any wee. If it is week pelvic floor and you've been doing your kegels maybe it's time to get a bit of help. I'm sure someone here got those pelvic floor weights things. Or you can get a referral to a ladies physio. However, it's possible that it could be something to do with reaching that pleasurable moment and well 'vibrations' in that general area. I don't Know anything about it really but I was Reading a girly magazine once and the dear Doctor letters section had a women write in with a similar problem. The doctor said because everything is so close together down there that this sort of thing can happen. She suggested making sure the author of the letter went to the loo before 'doing it'. Not sure what DH would think if you raced off to the loo at the first sign of amorousness though.

Kiwi DS2's tinfoil hat must have stopped there connection, though he did wake at 5.30 briefly so something got through.

Katie 13 rooms, wow I've got images of Mansfield park in my head. Being from australia any house like that in England makes me think you must be decended from royalty!

Trace, I can on;y sympathise in the lady trampoline department, I have the running, sneezing thing, haven't done the deed in so long that I can' tell you if some wee would come out then but odds are on that it would! I think it's prob normal but are you doing anything to strengthen the area? I was using those cone things which were pretty good but you can't use them when you're up the duffage.

Hooray for babypanda walking. It might account for the shocker of a night, I bet her legs feel all fizzy and full of electricity! No fun for you though, obv.Am v impressed at your going to boxing class after a rubbish night .

Beans, honestly, your DH. . I hope he knows how lucky he is to have you.

DP and I had a bit of a row yesterday morning, leading us to spend the day apart and look after t in shifts. It was actually a really good plan as we both had some space and a good meal together in the evening, DP apologised (twas his fault as usual) and we talked about why things were tough at the moment and how we need to really get out there and do things we enjoy. Sounds obvious but it's so easy to get caught up in the mundanity of things. T is adorable but it's just too easy to focus on him and forget we're individuals too.

mom, glad you're feeling a bit brighter, it sounds like you're doing really well and great that you were able to enjoy your weekend .

Oh, and WG, I guess everything else will be a let down for your friend now though. . Impossible to improve on perfection....

Veggie how was last night?

Spot I'm secretly rather impressed with myself too. Especially as I did it on sore legs from my run yesterday too [polishes off halo] Mind you, if you don't hear from me tomorrow it'll be because my hands have completely frozen up and I can't type

Hello everyone,

mom I'm really sorry . You sound remarkably strong but don't worry about being upset on us. That is what the basket is there for.

What a great meet up! Thanks so much for picking me up zoe. DD stayed asleep until Leeds when loads of people got on and disturbed her. When I got her out of the pushchair she had a stinky nappy and I couldn't get through to the toilet it was so packed, so that was a pleasant journey for everyone!

P is amazing, so confident and happy to climb to the top of the slide without looking back to see where mummy is! BabyZoe is gorgeous and obviously has farming in her blood - she was very keen on the animals and tractors. It was great to meet Mr and Mrs Summer and babysummer. E is a lovely boy, really happy and very brave after his fall. Glad to hear all is well, I felt bad that we had to rush off to my train.

avo Oh dear! My DH would have been in a similar state. Glad the flights were all fine in the end.

trace Did you have a full bladder or did it happen out of the blue? I tend to find that pleasurable moments do uncomfortably squeeze the bladder. I've never had a leak but do tend to go for a wee before commencing relations . TMI there, sorry! Hang on darling.... ready . Who said romance was dead?! Sounds like a kegal thing though as it is all pelvic floor related.

Kiwi That is lovely about the walking. So very cute that she has secretly been able to do it for ages! Teeth do you think last night? If in doubt, treat as teething - that's my motto. Although DD has a million teeth and it usually is teething!

Anyone know what to do about an onset of hitting? DD keeps going over to her toys/cat/parent/other children (so sorry once again summer/Zoe/trace ) hitting, then pointing her finger as if to say 'that's naughty'. I've been removing her from other child/cat but just tried to ignore it if she does it to me or a toy. Is that right or do I need to tell her off each time?

Hey all - thanks for wise words. I think it's really partly my fault DH behaves like a tit so often - I loathe confrontation and arguments, so cringe away from them, rather than making him know that I'm furious.

And I've just managed to get a bloody parking ticket outside our house. I misread the expiry date of our permit and thought I had a week's grace from 31st May. It was 21st, so grace ran out today after weekend. GUTTED. That's £40 plus the £20 on day passes. DH going to be furious as our finances are somewhat strained at the moment! SHIT.

Trace - don't worry - it's one of those things. Talk to your GP = I've heard of these things you can put up your foofoo, which you have to grip during day to day chores and it strengthens your muscles.

Drinks party to say goodbye to neighbours tonight. mUst hoover. Plus ungodly smell fro DD's nappy. Off I go!

Had a roll with nutella for lunch. My diet is appalling!

Yo
Have created a new thread - with crappy title - sorry!!! here!

Beans, enjoy your party! And do practise telling your DH that you need help. No, not in a minute. Now (firm voice) .

(That was you to your DH not me to you)

Mom: lovely to hear from you. I'm glad you had a good weekend. I would be the same re: telling work.

Kiwi: cheeky DD showing off her walking and then keeping you up all night! I'm sure they plan these things out.

Rubes: how are you doing? I thought your DB had come round or is his partner stirring again? I hate to think of the stress spoiling this special time before DD arrives.

Aaargh the phone is about to eat my post! Sorry for brevity. And wish me luck cos I am being a crap mum at the moment and need to sort things out.
