Utterly exhausted today. Up early with the kids, picked hubby up from airport. So glad to have him home. Then soft play with the kids and finally work. Once I got home we went to a friends followed by going to see the local pipe band had a fab time but the kids are only going to bed now 2 hours later than normal. Let's hope I get a lie in tomorrow.

Goodness an old "dads army" had just come on. I love that as a kid. The song is just a classic. Hope all you ladies are having a nice weekend
 
I didn't get much sleep last night because Parker climbed into bed with me and I was too tired to put him back in his own room. Every time this happens, I pay for it dearly. I got maybe 2 hours of sleep after he climbed into bed at 2am. :wacko: As such, I'm crankier than heck today and my patience is at absolute zero!

I've spent most of the day purging toys, and I'm nowhere near done. I almost have the playroom under control(ish), and then its on to the bedrooms.

And I still have to cook dinner. Ugh.

One of THOSE days. I'm hormonal and exhausted and 100% bitchy. Pregnancy can be hard on the body in the most ideal of situations. But pregnancy while parenting 2 children who have gone out of their way to be on their worst behavior ever since getting up this morning? Eff.
 
I'm exhausted too. Stayed up late with my sisters who were over till after midnight. Then DD had a wake up at 2, had to put her back down, then she was up at 530, but thankfully went back to sleep, however I had to fall back to sleep and kept getting disturbed, by DH waking up and getting ready, each of our 2 cats taking turns meowing in my face to be fed (even though DH was up and downstairs, can't be bothered to feed them) then his alarming was going off on his clock! So up by 7 Ugh!

Not enough sleep and it's just me ALL day with her. DH has an all day get together at a friends house. Drinking involved so may not even be coming home tonight. Can't wait for her bedtime. I'm beat!
 
Totally exhausted! We are moving house :( Roll on Friday when it will all be done and we are going to Haven for a weekend away!
 
Feeling stressed as anything. So much to do and I never get any help. Went out with ds for 5&1/2 hours today asked Dh to mow the lawn, get a new sink from b & q and phone the fence bloke. He did none of these things but did get a doorbell. Seriously thought I was going to burst into tears. I do all the house work as well as having a full time job. He hasn't mown the lawn in 2 years, I always have to,but my backs killing me and the sink has been waiting two years too. We both have full time jobs. On top of which my cousin kept on about how I looked fat not pregnant and kept telling me to stop being such a hippy and tried to feed my child crisps and juice. He's my kid and he's happy, just leave him alone. Argh!!! Rant over.

oh hun you poor thing, I would sit him down and tell him he needs to help out more I would be asking him to cut the grass now :dohh: no way I be able to do that now :hugs:
 
also have a down day here. hope all you ladies have a better day tomorrow.
it's my birthday today, it's almost half 8 in the evening and i'm still waiting on hubby to give me my birthday card and actually say happy birthday. he hasn't forgot as he got my card today when we went shopping (he forgets to write them out if he doesn't get them the day before or on the day) on the plus he is currently cooking me steak. I have wanted steak for weeks. he says he has some sort of surprise for me later. we'll see.
have a lot on my mind at the moment which also isn't helping the down day. also feeling more fat then pregnant.
still waiting to hear about an extra scan to find out whats going on with baby's growth.
 
I tried to talk to him about the fence and he got annoying about having to make a 5 minute phone call. I've made him promise to do it when he gets back from work on Monday. Given getting him to promise this was like pulling teeth, I'm leaving the rest because I think I may end up saying something I'll regret.
 
Happy birthday Steph. I hope he comes up with something good for you and that you hear about your scan soon.x
 
Happy birthday. Sport your day was pants but I hope you gets good nights sleep
 
Happy birthday for yesterday Littlesteph - Hope you are feeling better now x
 
Happy late birthday Steph! I hope your hubby stepped up to the plate?!? And that you got some good sleep :hugs:
 
Happy belated birthday Steph, hope it turned out ok after all. Sorry for the down weekend everyone seemed to have, hope this week is awesome to make up for it. :hugs: Also, dh and I both got the Pregnancy + apps on our phones to track the pregnancy, and there are a lot of hints for dads in there about helping mom out with things etc, and it explains it out so they know we're not just being whiny lol. DH has put a lot of those tips into use like doing more chores, helping out with stuff without me having to ask, gave me a foot rub, trying to make sure I don't get stressed out, doing more of the cooking, etc. Just a thought, worth a try if you're having a hard time getting him to 'get it.' :)

Today is our 2nd anniversary and we get to celebrate it with our ultrasound woohoo! Last night I was asking dh if we really aren't going to find out the sex hehe, I'm really curious but undecided whether we should or not! He must have softened his stance a little too because he said it's up to me but he still thinks it will be a really cool surprise during the birth. I agree but I'm getting so antsy to know if I can say he or she and which name to call baby haha. And which clothes I can pick out! Only have 2 hours to go ahh!

We're planning to cloth diaper too, the toxins in disposables creep me out, hard to even find wipes without toxins in them geez! Apparently the dye they use to decorate diapers is a known cause of diaper rash, yet they still put it in there.. lol :dohh: Kind of overwhelmed by the number of cloth diaper brands, seems I get a head up on some of them then I hear about 10 more different brands lol. I think I'll get a set of prefolds from greenmountaindiapers.com since I heard they were highly recommended, and on that site they recommend using all-cotton brands like Blueberry for all-in-ones. Anyone used those before?
 
I use prefolds quite a bit and to be honest all the ones I've tried have been much the same as each other. You can get unbleached ones. I use blueberry coverall wraps with bamboo fitters at night and I like them. If you don't want to use pul wraps you might want to look into wool soakers. I haven't tried them because wool gives me hives.
