Find out on the 15th Feb.

My recovery was quite quick with Kaiden. Although it just crossed my mind the other day that it will be totally different going in knowing its going to happen and not as exhausted, drugged, dazed and exhausted as I was with Kaiden

I put exhausted twice.......

It probably deserved the 2 exhausteds lol. It will be strange to know the date your baby will be born so far in advance. You will know it's birthday lol

hey girls. Hope you all had a good weekend. We were out for Ryan's work company dance last night. I was good to get out but I'm done in 2day! One of my dogs is ill aswell so I've been up all night with him for the last 2 nights. Spent the day catching up on sleep today! Really needed it! Being so relaxed has had baby going nuts though lol.

Saturday 9th march is good for me. I'm looking forward to it!

 

[arlene]

Hey ladies.

just realised my friend has booked tickets for us to go see a friend on a show on the 9th and I totally forgot! So sorry!! Xx

 

[Kaybee]

I know it will be funny knowing his birthday...and not his name

Emma poor doggie - its a worry when they are not well. Is he any better today?

Aw Arlene that's a shame. What show you going to see?

 

[bbymc]

Aw that's a shame Arelene!

Ben seems a bit better this afternoon but that's after taking him off the prescribed food that was meant to help and feeding him boiled rice and tuna. It's a complete joke! They've charged me over £400 in the last 2 weeks for different treatments but nothin has worked and the poor sod is sooo distressed. I almost took him in in the middle of he night he was so bad! problem is, it seems they dont know what else to do to treat him.

 

[lj2245]

Any idea what's up with Ben? Wee soul

We got a 10 year old dog from the SSPCA just before Xmas and she's lovely but insurance for her is £500 a year, unless we get one that's 35% of vet bill +£95 in excess. I haven't signed up yet because I'm reluctant to pay so much but if she became ill I don't know how we'd pay! The cat is only £2 a month! lol.

 

[bbymc]

I'd say get it. Either that or save every month for her instead. Ben was a rescue dog when we got him at a year old. He's 7 now. We reckon in his first year he was really ill and didn't get the right nutrition and so now he gets ill all the time. I was paying £45 a month insurance for him (£70 excess) but in November they wanted to increase it to £75 a month so i cancelled it. Thats way too much. Now i just save £50 a month for him myself. Problem with that is, since i've done that he's been ill loads and i've spent about £600 already and its only been 3 months! So if i were you, I'd get tess insured!

Ben got an ulcer in his eye and after treatment it didn't heal so he had to go get a wee operation. Thats clearly stressed him out and made his other problems worse. He has some problem with a spasming bladder and ibs meaning he will be sick, have the runs and not be able to pee. Doesnt sound so bad but if we don't act quick then his stomach and intestines bleed and his bladder could get so full it could burst and kill him!

The vets keep charging me a fortune and treating him the same way every time. Its is obviously not working so I'm starting to get really angry! I ignored all advice from the vet after getting him treated on Saturday and having him get way worse thru the night. Low and behold, come Sunday afternoon he'd perked up loads and hopefully is over the worst. I'm all set to let rip at the vet when i go back with Ben tomorrow. I had to spend £200 gettin him treated on Saturday only for it to make him more ill! I'm not letting that go,

Rant over. Lol. Grrr! It just makes me so mad!

 

[bbymc]

oooh my ticker is on the 2nd last pic now exciting! I remember when it moved from the alien looking one to the one that looks more like a baby lol. I was so happy when i saw that. Lol. Oh how time flies!

 

[bbymc]

is anyone else feeling super stretched? Lol. I feel like I've ran out of space for baby lol. I have a feeling from now to 40 weeks is gona HURT! lol!

 

[lj2245]

I feel ok in that respect. I think that's because Shaun made my skin super stretchy haha You should take photos of your bump every week, it's amazing how they grow and change shape in the last 10 weeks

Aww your wee ticker Wee fat baby 4lbs! Lol.

 

[arlene]

Aww, I've started feeling James poke my ribs more the last week or so. John and I are both on holiday this week so we're just chilling. I go back on Monday and then finish up six weeks on Tuesday!! Eeek!!

Sorry about the weekend meet up. My friend is in the chorus of Jekyll and Hyde so we're having lunch then going to the matinee. We're all in a company called Showcase and do concerts to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support so we all try and support each other when doing shows with other companies xx

I feel like my bump can't possibly get any bigger! I managed to take a wee vid clip of him moving around last night and showed it to my work mates. The ones that haven't had children were amazed/ freaked out

We had duke insured since we got him at 12 weeks but didn't renew this year because it had gone up to £70 plus if we switched to someone cheaper he wouldnt of been covered for anything that we had already claimed for and he gets frequent ear infections so we decided not to bother. It is a worry though as vets are so expensive.

Aww thats good arlene that you do some fundraising. We will oraganise another get together once all babies are here.

That should read £70 per month!!

My bump feels like that just now. Like she's stretching all her bits out and its hurts so much. I thought something was wrong but ive noticed few other people going through it to. She's always on my right and its always the same spot i get all the pain in. I also get alot of lower back pain just now. It comes and goes though but its alot worse when im working. So they take me off tills for an hour then on for hour. Its like that for my 4 hour shift now which is handy and its less stress on me.

My ex how ever is pissing me right off. Texting me saying he's going to be hanging out with this lass that he had pulled on my sister night out (its her mate) the day after V-day which i said cool then i got a text from me sister which tip me over. grrr


The girl ask my girl if she's be kool if her and ryan would start dating and also asked if i would be. Heck no. Of course i wont be. we only broke up in september the day after our year annverisary and we're about to have a baby in a few weeks i dont think now its the right time to even been thinking about it. Man im even shitting myself to meet up with this guy friend ive knowning for nearly 4 years. im not even thinking of dating anyone yet not until after i give birth at least. Because she is going to have all my time and i know having a kid puts alot of pressure on people so i would never rush into anything. unlike him who said he's support us both and yet im the one cleaning up after him making him food and coffee (im not his dam mum but i feels like it).

Sorry for the rant guys just so worked up xx

 

[bbymc]

Cherrybump, I really would chuck Ryan out if I were you!! If you split in September and he still lives with you, not lifting a finger, and wants to date someone else now, he's clearly taking he piss! It's easy for me to say, I know, but I think you would be better off without you in the house.

 

[Cherrybump]

I know i honestly would be. even his mum and cousin agree and she is going to be speaking to him today. They say i shouldnt have to put up with him if he's not helping out... Hope she gets through to him cause ive had enough xx

 

[lj2245]

My washing machine is fixed! Yaaaayyy!! Turns out a hose wasn't connected properly in the manufacturing process and it's slowly been coming off (it's on the inside so no way of knowing) and that's why it flooded. It's all repaired now though and looks like I have a legitimate claim for new flooring too. Hurrah! I was wanting to wait until we got a new kitchen to get new flooring so it's bad that we have to do it now but the flood caused so much damage to it that we don't have a choice, I'm just glad that we won't have to pay for it.

Cherry - I hate to be brutal but it sounds like Ryan is contributing absolutely zero to your and your wee girl's life. There is no purpose to having him there at all. Is he working? Does he do any housework? I managed perfectly fine on my own when I had Shaun and there's no reason why you can't do the same. You at least have a fighting chance if you don't have a leech in your life, sucking you dry! Shaun has always stayed with me and gone to his Dads at weekends and we have always kept things very friendly for his sake. Shaun has been the one to benefit most from that and he has a happy, secure life. If you allow Ryan to keep on living with you, I think animosity will build and build and you will end up hating each other. That can't be good for your wee girl. It's best to make a clean break while you can both still be civil. I speak from experience! Lol.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Shaun'd Gran died this morning. I know it was expected but it's still such a shock.
