[_dreamer_]

Thanks ladies. Todays just been a quiet one as we've had other things going on, we exchanged cards (he got us one from Erin too! My talk before did the trick lol) but we're going out for lunch on Sunday, our friends are going to look after Erin so that will be nice, first 'date' since my mum went back to oz when Erin was 3.5 weeks old! Think we might have to try do this more often lol. We also have the viewing for the house I mentioned at 11am tomorrow and my sister is going to watch Erin for an hour for us.

Hi everyone!

Hispirits, so glad you and baby are doing well. You are just about full term. I can't believe it. You just have another week to hang in there!!!

Lilrojo so glad the spotting stopped. Can't wait to hear how your fist scan goes!! You must be very excited!

Happy anniversary dreamer! Hope you guys have a wonderful and relaxing lunch! Hope the viewing of the house goes well. DH and I are house hunting and it is awful. The market has literally changed over night and has gone from expensive to way more expensive in the past few months. We are not sure what to do. Keep us posted!

Claire did Darcy have any problems with teething?

I'm with you trixie, teething has been a nightmare!!! Giada was up from 3:00-5:00 lasat night, and 2 nights ago she was up from 1:00-4:00. It's brutal. She plays in her bed for part of it...like an hour surprisingly, but I have to be up with her the rest of the time. The whole week before she slept perfectly fine. I saw it coming though....chewing on the fingers, drooling, face and diaper rash. I knew 2 nights ago it was going to be a bad night!! How's your cholesterol trixie? DId you ever get it rechecked??
So giada is clapping!! Hooray!!! Not all that well lol, but at least it is a start. Although she would still prefer to clap my hands than her own. I'm still a bit worried about her as she still has no words and still is not pointing at all. I'd be less concerned if she didn't have words but was pointing. I had he responding to "what does the snake say" and she would answer "ssss" for about a week and now she has stopped. I can't get her to make that sound at all. She will still mimic some other sounds, but not that one. She can't do any animal noises. Do your LO's sometimes do something for a little while then stop? Of course regression is the first thing that comes to my mind. DH and I wantched this 15 month old on youtube saying all these words and answering her mom's questions and we were totally shocked. We both freaked out. Giada is ages behind that little girl!!! Oh well I guess we will just talk to the pediatrician when we go. It's hard because you just read so much online about delays, autism etc. It's hard to avoid it and not have it pop up when you google something. Trixie as a HV when do you start getting worried about speech delay? And do you worry about pointing at all?

Hope everyone else is doing well! Oh- do any of you use a crockpot? I am finding it to be great! I made a lasagna the other day and it only took me about half an hour and came out great! It's so easy and then there is no fuss at dinner time!!

 

[trixie79]

Never heard if crockpot!!! Wat is it???

Conor said apple 5 times and then nothing!!! Lol!! He is 15 months now and says nothing... Not even mama !! He just babbles constantly!

We usually expect about 2-3 words by now but I don't worry till 2 years for the speech to come and only refer at around 2 years 3/4 months if there is Defo no progression.... My brother didn't talk till he was 6 year old, mum said he spoke in a different language !!!!just babble..... He's grand now of course and got a degree in law so it didn't hold him back!

Conors childminder is slovakian and she only speaks in her language to him.... Apparently he understands her too!!!! So I'm not to worried , the speech will come when he's ready!

I'm pretty laid back though.... But would love him to call me....

But in saying that, he understands everything and will take directions like put the clothes in the washing machine etc!!!!!

He's been sick today.... Very runny nappies and temp.... Another set if teeth coming and his gums are bleeding!.... He slept for 3 hours this afternoon bless him!

 

[Hispirits]

just quickly baby will be here by elective c section next wednesday!!!
1st may!

 

[trixie79]

Ah his that's great..... Not long now!!!! Get lots of rest Hun!
Xxx

 

[_dreamer_]

A crockpot is a slow cooker trix hehe. How is conor doing now?

Congrats his! So exciting! I can't remember if you've decided on a name?

The viewing, well what can I say...great house, needs a ton of work which is fine, but there were so many people there and they extended the open day by 2 hours to accommodate everyone. We can't match up the sort of offers they are putting in, we've heard an offer 50,000 more than our max got rejected in the hope of getting more, and they've had 5 offers today. So we've accepted this isn't for us! Ah well more time to save

 

[lilrojo]

Congrats hi good luck

AFM us went great.. one healthy baby with a nice strong hb.. heard and saw it due dec 13th

 

[StranjeGirl]

Awww congrats to both of you Hispirits and lilrojo!!! So happy for both of you! Lilrojo you must be so relieved after having the spotting. I remember when my spotting started at abt 5.5 weeks. I saw the assisting dr (who typically works with us also during pregnancy, but it was my first time with her) because my primary OB was out. She did an ultrasound and found nothing but a gestational sack...no yolk or anything. She didn't seem to optimistic and I was devastated and completely shocked when I went in a week later and my dr found the heartbeat. I was still spotting at that time and it was such a reassurance. He told me that the majority of women he sees who are spotting early in pregnancy and still feel pregnant, still are pregnant and it's benign spotting. I'm so glad you got to see a heartbeat! You must be thrilled!!!

Hi- I hope you get some good rest. You must be so excited! I can't believe your little guy will be here in less than a week! Hope you are feeling well!!!

Dreamer, we are in the same boat as you for buying a house. We found one we loved and I even wrote a letter to the owners saying how much we love it etc. Our agent called to discuss putting an offer in and there were already 18 offers and they had already signed contract for well over the asking price. Things are flying off the market here right now. It's awful! If we had been doing this a year ago we would have had our pick of houses, but now we cant find one and will probably have to rent. It's crazy! So sorry it didn't work out for you guys

Thanks for the info trixie! Maybe it is not so abnormal for giada not to be talking. I do feel she understands fairly well. She will bring me her socks if I ask for them or run to her changing table if I say we need to change her diaper etc. I'd just feel a lot better if she was pointing. Oh well, I guess I would just find something else to worry about anyway. HOw is conor feeling?? I hope he's all better!

How is everyone else? DH is waiting for an offer on his probable new job. This has been the longest process and so stressful as we thought we would have had an answer months ago. I am so sad to move, but really just want to know and get on with things. I hate not knowing where I am going to be living in 2 months!

Hope everyone else is well!!

 

[lilrojo]

Thanks Stanje... my spotting was completely related to the suppositories... and has since stopped completely.. so fxed it doesn't come back.. but I feel very relieved..

 

[Hispirits]

HELP ME!!!

​

I HAVE GOT THE MOST SAVAGE PILES!!!!!!!

i have never been in so much pain! they are frigging huge and came out of nowhere!
babys heads engaged only 2/5 palpable so i think thats the cause, not constipated at all.

all week i have been using anusol bum bullets and cream, not made any different!

any suggestions?

i really believe if i got a knife and cut the buggers off it would be less painful!!!


congrats lil!!!!!!!!!

 

[Claire1]

Lol Hi, its not funny at all but if you dont laugh you'll probably cry. I had them in first tri. I found warm baths helped massively and congrats on your baby date!! Eeek, im so excited for you.Can't wait to see the pics

Also congrats Lil, fab news. What a relief for you!

Sorry your still stuck in limbo stranje, I hope you find out soon

Dreamer, did I read that right £50,000 for a house? I know it needs work, but that wouldn't even buy a garage in the southwest! Sorry you didnt get it, hopefully next time .

Have a good weekend all xx

 

[_dreamer_]

No I wish Claire, the offer that was rejected was £50,000 more than our offer we would have put in. I'll be so interested to see what it sells for! We've not even put ours in. They're also now saying on cash buyers with no chain. Houses are super expensive here too, we're in Oxfordshire.

Hi, I'm sooooooooooo sorry for you that's rubbish. Not to long now til your csection, hopefully they'll bugger off soon after!

Sorry to hear you didn't get the house you wanted stranj. Hope you find out about hubbys job soon and you can get sorted!

Glad the spotting has,stopped lil.

Erin is almost 15 months which is mad. Weighed her today and she's 22lb5oz or 10.1kg.

Hope everyone has a good weekend, would love to see some up to date baby pics everyone
