Morning everyone!
SK – I hope you had a better night with Mr F last night? I hate that crazy tiredness feeling where you actually don’t know what end of you is up -its horrible – I had it for soooo long with Miss L! Dentist for me today but I don’t expect them to do anything – how is the pain in your teeth today?
Borboleta – I do feel really sorry for you in your current position, I can only think not wanting another child and yet having a husband who does puts you both in a really awkward position. I know I would really have resented DH if I had wanted another child and he had refused so I guess you guys need to seriously talk about what your plans for the future are before someone ends up feeling hard done by!
Leeze being a mum and working is just so full on and I can’t believe that K is 2 already! Our babies aren’t babies anymore they are proper little people! And yes 28 weeks, I have to say once I got over the horrendous morning sickness it is totally flying in, potentially only 12 more weeks to go… eek!
Clairey I’m not sure I even want to know how good you look when you are not sleep deprived if that is you sleep deprived lol. I was just thinking we got our
at the same time and now our little ladies are nearly 2 – its mad – where has the time gone! How is your friend getting on with little T? Is he being a good baby or is she too being hit my total sleep deprivation?
Charlie I am glad your OH thinks you have anger issues too – I guess it’s a man thing that they just can’t see that the anger stems from them being so incompetent at times and it’s frustrating and annoying! What cracks me up is when DH is all tired and grumpy in the morning when he has the choice to go to bed and sleep all night – whereas I am up with her ladyship and I am genuinely shattered.
Indigo I did laugh at you saying to Borboleta that if she does it you will too – haha if the broodiness is there perhaps you aren’t done after all… I will be eagerly waiting to see what decision you make over the next few months..
Kosh so glad your trip went well and the plane journey was better than anticipated – that’s excellent and that you had a good time – YEAH! You need to post to update us more on your trip…
Clio I don’t think looking forward to some J free time makes you in anyway a bad person at all, I love L dearly but there are times I can’t wait to see the back of her for a few hours – she gets to go and play and I get to do things I can’t do when she is there! I finish work on 20th Dec and I’m keeping her in nursery 2 days a week, she seems to really like it and tbh I will need some me time before the new baby arrives and when its here as I can only imagine how difficult it is juggling 2, that and it wouldn’t be fair to take her out completely and then send her back when I go back to work! Glad to hear that things are going ok for your dad after his surgery!
Jules just in case you ever still read this thread, so sorry to hear about the PND, its very common in ladies our age especially those with professional jobs, you go from being this highly organised in control person to suddenly have a little person that relies upon you that you can’t predict and doesn’t follow the rules. My good friend in work had it after her first and although its very much under control she is still on meds for it, she did go on to have a second child though. She thinks hers was triggered by an emergency section as she had never considered ever needing one and she said on the bad days she would just sit and stare out the window and wish she was dead and she just didn’t know what to do, it was so bad and her baby wasn’t a sleeper at all that basically her mum and dad brought her back home with the baby and her dad stayed up with her every night in the living room with the baby to make sure she was ok – but there is light at the end of the tunnel and I sincerely hope you are getting the help you need and that your little one is doing well – big hug my lovely.
Kitty -how are you – your post really touched me and I realised how fortunate I was to have L at full term, I don’t know how you coped with the stress of little B coming so early and how wonderful he has done so well! Remember that just because B came early doesn’t mean that if you have another the same thing will happen, especially if the drs aren’t sure why B couldn’t wait to be born!
Angel I forgot to say I am glad the dinner with Beau went well and I honestly don’t know why you think his mum wouldn’t love you – silly lady – you need a good dose of self-confidence!
AFU – one of those not so hot nights – L was in with me from 4 and very very unsettled, I’m sure she had a night terror as she was standing up screaming NO NO NO NO NO and wouldn’t be comforted, it was rather unsettling, then she lay down and thrashed around for a while and eventually calmed down enough to take her bottle and go back to sleep. I’m so sure she has no recollection of the event but it woke me up and gave me rather a startle! Oh and the little madam when she eventually woke after all her unsettledness came over sat on me and did a massive parp (fart/broke wind/bottom burp – whatever you ladies call it) and then laughed her head off – little minx. Just heading towards 2 and has no manners and thinks toilet humour is hilarious… what is she like!
DH text to say his parents are calling today – I have to say I was a little put out as I’m working from home this afternoon after the dentist, so I did remind him I had to work and couldn’t hang around – please please let them be gone before I get home.. I haven’t seen them since the incident of DH getting involved in his brothers divorce after I told him if he did I would kill him and I really don’t want to see them. I have no respect for them I think they are useless grandparents and I now think they are pretty rubbish people… Apparently his dad is going in have 2 stents put in tomorrow and God forgive me but I honestly do not care. I know it’s bad but I don’t care what they do at all – they don’t care for us or L and I’m quite happy to not have them involved at all – they really are no help to me or DH whatsoever – ok I need to stop now… They are only coming up so they can have a d*mn good nosey round the house we are in now – I don’t want them to – I don’t go to their house at all never mind have a nosey round it… Grrrrr it’s not like they haven’t been there before! I hope they don’t think they are getting free reign on wandering around!
In other news L has most definitely progressed to full on conversations, she never shuts up. She now talks to the dog and cats etc.. and has annoyingly started lifting the cat food and feeding it to the dog – she thinks its great fun as does the dog – I don’t – the dog is a chunky Labrador and she doesn’t need any more food!
As for new baby – I’m huge, its already difficult to breathe and bend and I have no idea what way up or down she is, I am getting what I assume to be Braxton hicks the same as I had with L, can’t really feel anything in my stomach just get this incredible urge to go to the toilet and I don’t mean the quick way, which comes and goes and when it goes away I absolutely don’t need to go! Is that weird? Am I weird? Still no name – all the names I suggest I’m not allowed (Eden/Thea/Aria/Lyra) or the ones I like are my friends kids names (Rosa/Layla) so I think all we are left with is Leah and Julia both of which sound a little funny with Lydia! Actually people seem to really have issues with the name Lydia and the number of people who call her Olivia isn’t funny! At this rate this poor baby isn’t going to have a name… oh and given her middle names will be Sarah May it kind of wipes out Faye which I like as Faye Sarah May sounds like something out of little house on the Prairie. DH wants Sarah as the first name after his Nana but I’m refusing, I hardly knew the woman and I’m not calling my child after her, May is after my dear aunt who died when I was 9 weeks pregnant with L, she was like a granny to me and we were very very close. The other thing is that DHs cousin is due to have a little girl 2 weeks before we have ours so I hope she doesn’t use any of our names!
Ok this is stupidly long and I have the dentist soon – hope you all have a wonderful day!
I'm feeling a bit better today. Dan let me have a good cry on his shoulder the other night, and he was very patient and sympathetic with me (which is not easy for him, he's just not built that way). That helped a lot as well as being able to express my feelings to you lovely ladies.
to OH bringing YOU gloves for the litter trays - I'd just dump them on his work clothes/side of bed and see if the gloves are adequate!
). Brought him downstairs to give him Advil and changed his diapers and pants. I knew I would have to stay in his room for at least one hour rocking him to sleep ( I am terrified of him trying to climb his crib, even though he is a terrible climber). Cutting a story short I didn't go back to bed till almost 4am 
!!! I actually tried to find online the baby crib tent thing but they had a recall on those so I am just hoping little t will not try to climb off his crib for a while. I am not ready for a toddlers bed!! And he is a great little sleeper so I don't want to mess up with that just yet
