Rainy, Im sorry to hear that. Thinking of you and sending you hugs.

Karen I hope things look up for you soon.

Im still in the job, but am seeing HR tomorrow, as I cant carry on where I am, its making me so depressed and low. On a brighter note, we have finished all our outstanding homework, and our PAR is being written up and we are on for January panel.

Great news about panel monkey
Little man just scared the be Jesus out of me
He starting balling his eyes out so I went to comfort him and he was just hysterical took him downstairs and he was just thrashing around and sobbing. All this is whilst he is asleep and wouldn't wake.
Eventually he calmed and we've put him to bed with a bottle and he's drank it all.
We've googled and it sounds v much like night terrors. Poor little man I feel so guilty. His little world has been turned upside down. He seems great in the day but I guess there has to be an outlet somewhere of his stress..... Poor boy

 

[LolaM]

YIKES that sounds scarey!
AFM I got a call from daycare saying that baby bumped his head and now hes falling asleep, so we should come get him because he might have a concussion, well we rush over there, he is awake, and alert and laughing! Sillies! He is now napping as we have a Christmas party to go to that my husband is fighting about going to, he acts like we are cavorting with Satan himself, its a party for goodness sake! Sometimes his attitude really, REALLY SUCKS!

 

[Lolly1985]

Aww Dream, how horrible. I have seen my brother have night terrors and they are awful. Like you say I suppose his little brain is ticking away and trying to process it all. The stress of that comes out subconsciously in his sleep. But in the day he is happy and relaxed so I hope that it was a one off. Massive hugs to you sweetie

Monkey, sorry to hear your job is effecting you so deeply, good luck with your HR meeting. Let us know how you get on But brilliant news in adoption land, I'm so glad you are almost there. You'll have a busy start to 2014 I think

Oh dear Lola, so much drama and little man was fine. But better that way bless him. Hope all is ok with the part and hubby chills out!!

Loski, is your lovely little lady getting excited?!!

Hugs to all the gang

Well we have had a busy week of parties, family and Christmas buffets. I am loving it but am putting all the weight I lost when little pink home back on Oh well, it's Christmas!!!

 

[karenh]

Monkey good luck with your job, I know that is so stressfull. Congratz on the progress on your adoption and January Panel!

Lola, I am glad your little boys is OK, that must have been scarry. Your husband sounds like mine.

Dream, how hard it is so see little one suffer like that! I hope it doesn't become constant.

Lolly I'm glad you are having a great week!

Monkey how exciting for panel, mines about 4 weeks after yours yayayayayua!!

Dream those night terrors sound awful! Hopefully just a one off! Poor baby!

Today I have been arguing with payroll...all I want is an estimated schedule of payment an they refuse sayin I need my matching cert first! So I got mad an claimed discrimination because pregnant people get the schedule at their 22nd week so get months of notice x

 

[karenh]

I was thinking the same thing. If I was pregnant instead of trying to adopt I could sue for them letting me go. This isn't fair. If I was pregnant I would still have my baby, because I am not now I might not get a baby, and even if we do it will take longer now because I have to find a job and get medical benefits and show stability before we can be chosen. This sucks. There is NO movement on the job front. I haven't hear back on any of my applications. Sorry, having a bad day. Tomorrow is my last day here at work. Really stressed out right now.

 

[aimze]

Don't b sorry Hun this is what these forums are for!

Aww I really feel for you Hun, it's not a great time of year for it

 

[dreamofabean]

Oh girls, big to you both. This journey is hard enough without having work worries too. I really hope things work out great for you both. Keep the faith xxx

 

[Rainy123]

Aww karen - hope that christmas cheers you up and hopefully some good news is on the horizon.

Dream - night terrors sound awful, hope it doesn't become a regular thing.

I saw my SW yesterday. There are a few more pink babies that i will be considered for in january so hopefully i will be linked again then. Fingers crossed.

Also, just done the last 'get up' of the term - last day and then christmas holidays!

 

[Lolly1985]

Karen, I hope your last day today isn't too painful. Thinking of you today and willing there to be good news for you soon. Hugs xxx

Rainy that sounds positive. Enjoy Christmas and exciting that the new year will bring new opportunities. You'll be able mummy very soon, I feel it in me waters

Dream, was little man more settled last night?

We have our new health visitor coming later. She wants to meet little pink before second LAC review in January. Just running around with the hoover with a little help from a certain little lady (if you call chasing the Henry hoover and then banging on the top and trying to climb on it help!!)

 

[Lolly1985]

Adoption order paperwork signed and sent (along with the all important pennies!!) So now we wait...

 

[dreamofabean]

Eek lolly!! How exciting!! ah bless pink helping you vac! Little man just cries at the noise!! Lol x

 

[karenh]

Rainy: I hope you find your little girl in those profiles in January! Yay foryour last day of work this year! It is mine too! (Even if I weren’t getting laid off it would have been my last day for the year)

Lolly: Good luck with the health visitor! Little pink must really want to go for a ride! How fun. : ) Yay for your paperwork getting turned in! Any day now!

Dream: How is your little guy sleeping now? Is he doing any better?

Aimze: any updates?

Lola: I hope you are being able to concentrate on Christmas with little man and not pending court hearing!

Thank you all for your support and kind words. I hope those of you that have your little ones join you this year will enjoy this holiday season. I am not sure how much I will be able to get on the rest of the year. Merry Christmas every one!
