Right off to be a midwife to a ewe who looks like she needs to be reminded how to breath! I'll be back in a little it.

Lost, i think cafe is right, you need to do what's right for you at this moment in time.

lost on the moors - I became pregnant twice while BF; each time when baby was 10 months old. Had normal periods while BF first baby - none at all when BF second child.

ripsishere · 04/03/2013 03:34

Absolutely can you start a mini thread so yours doesn't get lost amongst the stethoscopes and lambs?
I'm in trouble at both ends now, finger and an eye full of curry noodle seasoning.

ripsishere · 04/03/2013 03:36

I'd love asheep. It wouldn't be safe on floor 19 though, it would be safe from me eating it. I don't like sheep meat

UnderwaterBasketWeaving · 04/03/2013 03:39

morning. Can I join in?

Non-sleeping toddler who doesn't get that we've all got to be up for work in 2 hours. Already been up 2.5 hrs.

Hoping this will jinx him to sleep.

Absolutelylost · 04/03/2013 04:03

Thanks for your thoughts, have just come off the phone from a lovely lady Samaritan. Don't think I could face a thread of my own, even when I said I was feeling fragile I still got loads of LTB. I KNOW he's behaved awfully but I can't throw my marriage away as easily as he can...

BlueyDragon · 04/03/2013 04:04

Morning all! I'm up because chemo and supporting drugs stop me sleeping. But it also makes me part of the Borg as I can be plugged into an iv any time, should you need to. Sadly I don't look like Seven of Nine though.

No lambs, please, Abigail, but where did you get the names for the orphans from? Sounds like a 1990s Radio 2 DJ list Grin.

rips, curry sauce at both ends - yeowch!

Hope those with poorly DCs and "D" Hs/Ps are ok and getting some sleep.

jynier · 04/03/2013 04:40

absolutelylost - think that you are in shock and need some TLC. I think that I posted on one of your threads (not completely sure). I love my XP very, very deeply but he doesn't care for me any more. In fact, I discovered that he was leading a double life for several years. I know what you are going through and am sending best wishes for the future. Wish that there was an "unlove" button in the brain!

BlueyDragon - so sorry about your illness. Are you in hospital? Hate those places! People tell me that chemo is awful. Sending very best wishes. x

MrsShrek3 · 04/03/2013 05:28

aha. have been searching for this thread for 20 minutes Blush
interspersed with mucho lurking elsewhere, obvGrin

MrsShrek3 · 04/03/2013 05:34

looks like I turned up lateto the party, again Wink

jynier · 04/03/2013 05:56

MrsShrek - were you looking for something/someone in particular? Am afraid that my fellow "supposedly" insomniacs are lightweights who all went to bed ages ago!

BlueyDragon · 04/03/2013 08:42

I'm not in hospital, thankfully, except as a day case - they can send me home with special pumps thanks to the Borg port. One of the side effects is rubbish sleep though Sad. Thanks for the good wishes though, it's always nice to get the cheering on!

Morning MrsShrek.

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 04/03/2013 09:12

morning allSmile
welcome to blueydragonborg. I'm sorry you are ill and having to undergo chemo. What a rotton thingAngry Sad You are welcome here. Thanks

Congratulations Abigail on the successful birth of your lamb (slurp)Blush . Are you actually a farmer or do you have another job and own a few cheggers sheep?

absolutelylost I'm glad you had a positive chat with the Samaritans, that's good news. How are things this morning? I think it's commendable that you don't want to give up on your marriage. Please don't think you aren't welcome on this thread. Thanks

Well after I went to Ned st 2ish I started to feel immensely sick and my tummy was bubbly then I became freezing cold. This lasted over an hour but I wasn't sick or anythingConfused then it just went rely quickly and I fell into a deep sleep. my daughter thankfully slept till 8.15 so I caught up and feel fine this morning Confused

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 04/03/2013 09:26

wem and lostonthemoors how are your children this morning? Smile I hope you all ended up with some rest.

stars any luck on the work front this morning? Smile

jynier I'm not a so called insomniac Grin I go on mumsnet when I'm feedingy daughter, otherwise I'm asleep Smile

cafe ah lovely cafe, o take it your silenc means you slept? Or are you still in the cold shower? Hmm Yes I do sign with her but I do BSL as it is what I know. Is it advanced? I don't know about child development. Some people have told me she is in some aspects of her development though, like 'small world play'. Love your son's super hero elephant. Our two should get together and take over the world Grin Bear

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 04/03/2013 09:37

Cripes underwaterbasketweaver how are you feeling this morning? Sad

lost I've got the same breastfeeding a toddler/trying to conceive problem although actually getting round to having sex might help Wink

wem · 04/03/2013 10:50

Thanks Kitty, didn't get much rest though, no. DD1 stopped being sick but having spent most of yesterday in bed she decided she wasn't tired any more and continued crying every 15/20 mins or so through the night Sad.

She's much better now, has eaten and had water without it coming back up. She's asleep again now though, v tempting to leave her but don't want to risk a repeat performance tonight.

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 04/03/2013 11:47

I know what you mean wem. There's a balance to be met between giving in to the poorly lethargy and getting oodles of recuperating sleep and ending up with a day/night reversal. How old is she? Sorry if I've missed that. Are you having to juggle work too?

wem · 04/03/2013 12:11

No, luckily I'm a SAHM, so no work juggling. DD1 is 4. The last time she was ill like this she slept for practically the whole 24hrs so we thought we were safe letting her sleep this time. She's up now, a bit grumpy bur with much more colour in her face :).

MrsShrek3 · 04/03/2013 12:45

lol @ lightweights Grin

kitty, hope Ned was nice Wink (sorry)
