Beanies are cooking nicely!!!!! (part 2)

[jessicaandbumpsmummy]

Here you go girls!

I suspect that we will make a whole range of other ?mistakes?... My DD (6) already thinks that I am stupid and is not particularly subtle about letting me know... She questions why I am living here when her dad is working somewhere else and sometimes I suspect that she will have a career and never marry. If she does find the perfect man, I can imagine her ?get her own back? by choosing not to breastfeed and by sending them off to nursery from 3 months or something. (I would find it VERY challenging not to express my opinion in either situation.)

George: I have to agree with DQ. There is no such thing as an easy teenager! They are giant hormones cunningly disguised as familiar people.

I suspet we'll get amry matress, (have to ring DHE on that front) we're both beeing a bit snobby really about the cot thingy - as we had literally all army furniture when we first moved in - and tbh once we gave it all back - I went into everything has to be ours overdrive even down to the loo seat/ loo brushes - sad I know! alhtou gonna ring up for stair gates - how many r u allowed? i'm after 3 ideally, (the fittings are all ready there - apart from inot the front room.
what's the play pen like JM - is it one of those wooden ones that are only ment for the officers apparently? (I like those ones)

nemo - how did it go with ur mum yesterday? hope adam had a lovely day.

caddy - well done on telling ur mum - are boys really easier - i'm thinking yes because u don't get as bad a mood swings with the whole PMT lark - or do u get tamtrams? - mums of teenage boys! lol. althou there's also a good point- a friend of mine popped over and her other firend (if u follow) is trying to potty train her son - not really happening as she can't 'show' him so to speak! - actually boy maybe good - then DH can potty train! share ur names then girl! lol - i'm sure they're not that bad r they?

heard the heart last night - DH was really happy, baby waas hiding for him (he didn't hahve it turned up enough either!) lol. we've decided it's def a girl and keep saying her all the sime or she so if it's a boy it's gonna have a mega inferiority complex! lol. starting to get a rght belly on me now rather depressing really! lol - althou v looking forward to the birth as spent yesterday avo playing with my friends little girl whos 20 months - JM a) how do u do it with a younger one and b) just how do u do it! most respect honney - and anyone else with toddlers - she was really energetic - so we were dancing to oliver on teh TV with the ommpapa song! lol - she thought it was fab and wanted more - I was knackered and wanted a sleep!

spent the night watching the cartoons thingy on E4, how depressed were we - at only 23 most of my cartoons I watched are over 20 years old! lol. - we got really depressed with the do u remebrs - and what's even sadder is the music we used to bob to is now on radio 2 - DH was mortified when I told him that yazz had been on there! lol. (we were at school when that came out bobbing at the discos! lol)

anyhow off to meet a friend for a tea/chat I think (said friend JM) see how we go - DH thinks I shouldn't bother as she's not really rung me since being PG - but I don't want it to look like i'm a sore looser over the promotions thingy. and if I go to hers I can leave when I like instead of feelin obliged to make small talk in my house. Have been thinking about this a lot of late - do u guys have any friends without children? has it changed ur friendships at all? i'm worried about ours is all, as I don't think we'll really be talking too much once baby comes - we shall see thou - I suspec ti'm being a paranoid person! lol - ooh also met another mum (prob told u guys) on friay evening - lovely lady. (baby's 3 months old) she's soooo tiny and soooooo lovely! - and another friends just ah a little girl called holly - must stop in - althou i'm in the whole I want mine now stage! lol - shouldn't have brought those nappies!

(ooh sorry what an essay!) lol.

munz a lot of my pre adam friends do not have kids and it has changed our relationships. I know it doesnt always but for me it was the not being able to drop everything ad pop around for a cuppa etc as you have to think oo will dh be here to look after adam or if I take him with will he behave etc.

Visit wast too bad yesterday although my mum was critical as usual and saying we need new couches carpets etc so ended up telling her we were lucky to afford food at the min...so she offered to give us £700 to buy couches

how rude - what a comment to make. what did u say back?

that's what i'm thinking about the baby - as I won't be able to drop everyhting and go out for dinner/with DH doesn't really bother me tohou too much tbh. we'll see how it pans out I think.

munz she always moans about somethig in the house..but she has money so is able to think ooo i want a new conservatory and a month later its there. I am just used to it now as she doesnt understand not having money etc.

god wouldn't it be nice to be in a situation like that - we can all dream I supose.

hey people!

Wooden playpen yes - its lovely

How do i do it with Jess.... well as you know oh too well by now im not coping!!!

Feel really bad today.... just not great at all, gonigto docs in the morning. DH is earlies, so will be out the door at 5am but home by 1.30pm so not too bad.

honney - just the fact u have her - my friend's LO wore me out in an hour never mind 24/7!

You learn the wonders of cbeebies and distraction!

Its not easy, but hey, thats because i feel like crap and all i want to do is sleep.

When i feel ok, its a breeze!

lol jabm cbeebies/nick jr is also my inbuilt childminder..lol Although Adam has got easier over the past few months he also has more of an opinion now which cna be harder to deal with mentally..lol

Jess is quite good really, its just me not feeling well that means i dont cope with her as well as i should.

She is feeling loads better as well which is helping - she has been quite poorly this week which has drained me a little too much!

DQ, Cadmum, I still think boys have to be easier than girls as teenagers (or is that just because I was a demon?) DPs eldest is hilarious with his grunts and flailing arms. Our moods are quite similar at the moment too!

Glad your mums visit went OK Nemo & good news about the sofas
I think mums are just designed to be critical, probably because they have no control over our lives anymore and find it hard to let go.

yes youre right george, boys are easier in a way than girls -as my big two grow up I can see that. but boys can be pretty darn tough to grit teeth thro I can tell you. dd1 is more 'flouncing' and slamming doors tyoe of thing. oh its sooooooooooooooooo lovely having two 'teens/preteens' in the house... not. sometimes i just want to leap on nearest train.WITHOUT them!
anyone who says toddlers are hard work can have my big two for a day instead!! dd2 (whos 2) is quite ......er... challenging shal we say?[winnk] but in a different way. she holds no grudges, says no nasty mean things, doesnt eat the last of anything and then put empty carton in fridge, and def doesnt make as much mess!!

Nemo, bite her hand off, new sofas on someone else! yeah!! wish my mum could get away with doing that! but my dad would suss her, instead she tries to buy little things, coupled with the words 'don't tell your dad!'

J&BM I'm still looking for the other thread! or did you mean this was it?

Hi to everyone else, glad to see you all had ok weekends, bar J&BM's shock, but your ok with it all now right?

Well Wedding was good, dh rather drunk, but bearable and got a nice lie in Sunday am, a whole 8hrs sleep with no small child waking me up, oh how lovely
So wondered round York window shopping, and had a nice cake at Bettys (posh tea shop if you don't know it) then drove home, promptly threw up on my parents drive when we got there, although it seemed to contain mainly breakfast, so can only assume something upset me? as was feeling queasy most of afternoon, but had put it down to my cold and the bump......bump still kicking ok, so hasn't harmed the little one...scan on Wed, roll on scan!

friz - glad you enjoyed the wedding but sorry you had another puke (too much cake from Bettys??!)

DQ and george - expectnet game sounds like fun. did both of you choose not to know sex at your 20 week scan then? i think cadmum is keeping it a surprise too. munz and i are too impatient and want to know NOW! i agree with george's prediction that mine is prob. a girlie. i am convinced that is why i have been so sick.

how about yingers and nemo - do you know what sex? you have probably said it on here a million times but my brain is like a sieve with extra big leaking holes right now.

J&BM - saw a friend of mine yesterday who is also gulping back the rasp.leaf tea and waiting to "pop". she is going to try reflexology if nothing has happened by end of the week.

im in early labour!

Contractions from midnight last night til this morning. Things have died off since lunch time.... so trying to keep active even though ive only had about 3 hours sleep in the last 24 hours!

hope this is for you JABM not that I would wish the pain on anyone but I know how much you want this baby out

I've started to think about how I'm going to cope with two and it's freaking me out a bit. My bump has appreared from the layer of fat in my stomach, am wearing maternity jeans now and thinking about what to buy new baby.

meant this is it for you JABM no more false alarms!

Goodluck JABM! Hope u manage to get some rest before the big push!

Rom - LOL, am having a girl!

well good luck J&Bm, hope all goes well do keep us uptodate..
friz - i loved betties teashop when small (when we lived anywhere near there) you lucky soul. well aside from throwing up that is!!!
rom, i cant find out the sex my dh would shoot me!! no seriously, need to NOT know so can put some effort into pushing part of labour. its an absolutely joy to find out then I have to say. and I love keeping my relatives (esp the grannies to be!!) in suspense and watch them change their minds over what it is twenty times.......LOL
yingers its nearly your month!!! are you ready?!
cadmum, hope youre okay? and beanie still wriggling about.

lol Dqueen - keep those grannies in suspense. well i reckon you are having a girl; george is having a boy; caddy is having a girl; munz - a boy; friz, also a boy; and i am having twins, i reckon they just missed it on my last scan as one was hiding behind the other, lol. i have been sick enough for twins, i have a colossal bump despite the chucking, and i am a twin myself so that's my theory!

J&BM - wishing you lots of easylabour and painfree dust - how exciting [grin}

yingers - apologies! i had a sneaking suspicion you were having a girl so i must have some semblance of a memory left! what about nemo then?

just quickly - will catch up properly with u girls tomorrow - rom - what on earth makes u think boy? I think def a girl for me.

munz - i am going entirely on the most unscientific/illogical theory - and old wives tales of pregnancy - that you have hardly been sick. i know dqueen and plenty of others will tell me they were sick as dogs and had boys , but that is my theory. watch me proved wrong!
