LK Least he made way so Mr Right can get to you now

I'm so tired I need to go to bed but have sarnies to make for tomorrow.

Chloe was so adorable today, she says bye to things (bus / green man / aeroplane etc) and then says 'see you in the morning' - okay, she won't but it's really sweet and innocent how she says it. She now says 'your welcome' if we say thank you to her too. My heart really melted today though when she sang to her babies, well she sang "Mummy loves, Mummy loves" which is the start of a song that I made up and have always sung to her at night time ~ I have heard her sing quite a few nursery rhymes but assumed she picked most of them up from nursery. I have sang to her a lot at bed time as well but she started to sing jingle bells which nursery got her into. Anyway, so I was so happy when I herd her sing the start of our little song

Thanks kte. I've taken myself off the dating site. Feeling incredibly fed up with it all. Just wonder whether I will ever find someone. I work such long hours and never really go out. But feeling a little more positive cos I've made a 3 year plan. Should start my new job in March, then my course in September which will finish next July'ish! Then planning on doing another year of experience before looking at TTC. Plan to be pregnant by the time James starts school in September 2014. Whether that be with a lovely guy or through a sperm donor. I have brought James up alone (neither Laurie or Tom were any good with him) so I'm quite happy to do it alone again.

LK - Sorry the way things worked out. It's good to have a plan though and to keep positive about things. There is always a silver lining in every cloud that comes along!!

I hope everyone is ok.

Kte - Earl LOVER jingle bells. He would sing it every time if I let him. He's starting to realise it's not christmas anymore now- just about lol. Now I'm trying to teach him Happy Birthday so he can sing it to his Daddy on Monday. It's going ok apart from he's just saying every other syllable and the 'Dear Daddy' bit lol. He used to singe Twinkle Twinkle like this, but has mastered that now, so I'm hoping if we put in some practice we should have it cracked lol.

In my news, I've been signed off work for 2 weeks. I went into the Dr's on Tuesday complaining about yet another cold and of palpitations and being over-tired. I thought they would just say 'you're probably anaemic' but instead I ended up hooked up to an ECG and the nurse practitioner and GP are both now desperately trying to get me seen by my consultant (reminds me, I must ring them) as they think my thyroid is the culprit. Anyways, I've got 2 weeks off work, back to work on the 7th all being well, then only have 4.5 weeks left at work. I'm actually enjoying being home right now, The house is pretty darned clean and tidy (and this is only day 2)! I think Earl is a bit bored of me already though as I had to bundle us all out of the house for a walk to burn off his excess energy earlier. Seems to have worked though, as he would appear (touching wood repeatedly now) to have gone down for his nap!

Best be off. Washing up needs doing and washing machine is beeping at me, then I'm determind to read at least one chapter of my new book before hubby gets home/Earl wakes up!

 

[MilosMommy7]

aimee- good luck with the consultant. hope you can get things figured out
Milo's favorite songs are itsy bitsy spider, patty cake and 1,2 buckle my shoe. but he's more like obsessed with them and wont let me do any others

 

[Kte]

Hope all goes well with the consultant Aimee

Milo'sMummy: Chloe is pretty strict with what I can sing to her, I usally get told off by her!

I am at work and currently have a not so nice head cold, it came on Sunday afternoon, I didn't realise at the time, I just thought I was being thick, but my head has been a fuzz-ball ever since and I have gained other fun cold symptoms. I am being hugely forgetfull and very dense. Joy!

Chloe is fine and dandy bless her. Since I started putting on her Peppa CD at night (turning it off when I go to bed) her wakings have become none existant (Well unless Nij the noisy bugger accidentally slams a door at 3am )

Thanks Kte - My consultant and my GP have put their heads together, and decided I need a massive increase in my thyroxine dosage. My prescription will be ready to collect tomorrow, so we will have to see.
I was at the hospital yesterday though for my ear and I ended up having another mini operation on my ear. The most painful thing I've done since childbirth- the consultant basically put drops in my ear, stuck a needle down the grommet and then sucked all of the fluid out of the entirity of my ear canal - and I was given nothing for the pain! Earl sat at the end of the bed watching the entire time and didn't even make a peep. When they had finished he was given a big yellow smily face sticker that he was very proud of. lol. He is at the childminder's at the moment, and aside from dropping naps left, right and centre, he's doing great. Bedtime has been put forward to 6.45 to compensate and it seems to be doing the trick (except tonight when he wont get hom til gone 7 but that may mean he'll have a nap tomorrow lol), apart from the fact that he feels the need to come through at 6.30 and yell at me until I get up. Usually he resorts to 'mummy, need the toilet!' which he knows will get me up as I'm keen on him using it at every opportunity! lol

Anyway, I'm off to soak in the tub before tackling my housework lol. Hope everyone is ok.

Morning all we are all well, I got offered a new job but its not for me so sticking put for now, hunting down a new nursery and dating too

 

[MilosMommy7]

a week from tomorrow (thursday) Milo goes for his quarterly evaluation

 

[littlekitten8]

Hey girls.

Aimee - sorry to hear your having a tough time of it. Hope the new dose works for you.

Well I have news....we are moving house! Went and looked at a house on the road for the school I want James to go to...and we pick up the keys on 17th lol.

Wow that was quick! Well done on getting one close to your choice of school Seems weird to think that we're starting to worry about things like that, but we're seriously considering a move similar in the next 12-18 months (basically so that Earl will be able to be settled before starting etc).

My new dose is ok but I feel like I've been knocked over by a train. The past week I've felt great as I've been able to rest and just potter about. Now I've been on my new dose for 2 days, and both days I've literally taken my tablets and my energy has vanished! I'm tired, i'm breathless, my heart is racing, it's horrible. I'm going to give it a couple more days as it seems worse when I've just taken my tablets, so it may just be the shock of the hike? I'm back at the Dr's on Monday to review it (and to see whether or not I will go back to work) and at this rate, I wont!

Not a lot else going on, bit boring actually. Got my new bedroom furniture arriving on Saturday! So will be spending my weekend assembling flatpacks! lol

 

[MilosMommy7]

glad to hear about the house LK!

aimee- sorry to hear about the medicine. hope you can get things sorted out. when i was taking anti-depressants after having Ava, i would feel the need to pass out and sleep forever. i hate always feel tired

 

[aimee-lou]

[aimee-lou]

Can I get some advice ladies?

We had a tiny bit of snow Aimee and then it went. Today, sunny, mild, blue skies. I'm not complaining but I don't recognise the same country when I switch on the news, its quite odd!

Sorry I have been a bit MIA, had some terrible lurgi, from Sun to Sun (i'm not 100% but back at work). I was working until Tues then was off Wed - Fri. Knocked me for 6 whatever it was. I still am suffering headaches with it.

LK: Congratus on the new house! Hope the move goes smoothly!

 

[aimee-lou]

Kte - sorry you've been suffering. Hope you feel better soon

I've been signed off again, another 2 weeks. I really don't know how to feel about this. I feel like a right skiver, but at the same time I know I'm too run down to cope. I've only got another 2.5 weeks left at work after this note, and my nurse has pretty much said that if there's any doubt then I'll be off now until my maternity leave. Argghhhhh feel so horrid to be doing this to everyone.....again!!

 

[Kte]

It's not your fault, it really isn't, your body just needs time out and so do you. Your not intentionally doing this to people, your not 100% fighting fit and just decided to sack it in one day, you worrying about it all shows this but don't beat yourself up and don't feel bad ~ honestly (I have to shout at myself if I need to be off ill as I hate being off too). You have genuine reasons and the best place for you right now is at home, for you and little babies sake

Thanks for the reply. I know and I have now called work and they were surprisingly understanding lol. I think I was more scared about a repeat of last time (i.e. the bullying etc) but my boss just said 'well if you're ill you're ill'. I am due back at work on Monday 20th February, and tbh, I think I'll be good to go back for 12 shifts lol. That's my aim anyway. Whatever happens at least I know me and LO are going to be ok.

Hope you're feeling better too

 

[MilosMommy7]

hope you feel better Kte

not much snow here either this time last year we were still shoveling out of a blizzard.

aimee- hope work works out for you
