Hi Ladies, what cute pics you have I also have a pumpkin outfit for darcey.
Great to see you here hispirits, hope the scan goes well.

As for me Darcey now has four teeth, they all came through within two weeks. Shes happily chomping away on finger foods now.
She still isn't crawling yet, like Erin shes rocking back and forth and gets one leg forward but then falls. I dont think it will be long.
Shes fully recovered from her bronchilits and back to her usual self.
As for hubby and I, he wants to come back. Still denying that its nothing more then friendship. He says he missing me and LO and wants our old life back and to make our marriage work. I think Im going to give it another go. We've been togther for 10yrs, we're married and have a baby. If I dont give it a go, I think I might always wonder or regret it. It might work out, it might not but I cant let it go without giving it a shot.

Hope everyone else is well and the babies are doing well x

Hi Claire, I have a friend whos hubby recently broke things off saying he wasn't in love anymore etc and they've just got back together to give things another go, she said the same that they'd been together 9 years, were married (no babies yet) and so that's what they're doing. She seemed happier than ever yest, I know she was really worried about her family and friends reactions and that they'd supported her through the break up but like we were discussing and saying the same that she'd always wonder and regret not trying. At the end of the day its your life and youve got to do what makes you happy, and I wish you all the best hun.

On the rocking its so cute hey! Erin also clapped hands for the first time today a good few times. Love seeing them do new things.

claire do wat you feel in your heart...we are here for you xxxxxxxxx

i would have regreted not getting back with james, just regret not making him sweat more!

 

[Hispirits]

Claire. A couple of years after I was married, I found some texts on my husbands phone. I won't go into detail I'm on my phone. But he said it was a friendship, and I believed him, I know if I hadn't caught it when I did it could of gone further. I kicked him out. But missed him. We gave it another go, it was his last chance. And I swear, ever since we have been so much better and stronger. It was hard the 1st year. But now. I'd go close to saying our relationship is perfect. We laugh and play about so much. And I live him more now than when I married him.
Be strong honey, love conquers all.
I'm in hospital no wifi so on my phone spelling may be a bit dodgy.

Had scan this morning. Everything's fine.
I laughed at something the sonographer said and straight after the baby started moving and wriggling, looked like it was giving us a wave. It was the best! X
Hubby's bringing me a dongle in the korning so I can have a good read of your posts and a good chat back xxx

HI Everyone!
I am so behind in posts!!! I'm having arm, wrist and finger pain so im trying not to type that much, and strangely my feet are bothering me too. I feel like an old lady!
Claire Im so glad that you came to a decision you feel comfortable with. I would imagine that a lot of guys freak out when a baby is on the way. It's pretty scary if you think about it and I do think women are just better with accepting the thought of future changes. You definitely don't want to have regrets in the future, and if you don't give it a second chance it sounds like you may always wonder if things could have been rectified. Good for you for being strong and doing what is best for you! I hope you see a big change from him!!
HIspirits so glad scan went well!! Couldn't be more happy for you!! Hope you are doing ok with your other tests
Dreamer get ready for the crawling!!!! It's so cute when they finally start!
Lady I love the pictures! What a handsome little guy!!!
Trixie sounds like camilla worked well! I use it every night along with hylands teething tablets. ALthough giada still only has 2 teeth!!! We see a big white thing on top front but dont feel anything yet?? She was up at midnight last night Her schedule was thrown off yesterday so maybe that is why.
babies777 how is everything??
We bought her the octopus constume but it seems soooo uncomfortable and the head doesnt really fit. So we picked one up at costco for very cheap and it is a cute little elephant. Cant wait to go to the pumpkin patch this weekend! She's still on soy and is having hard poops. I swear it's one of the other. I may start doing half and half pretty soon. HOping its not a dairy allergy, although she is still eating yogurt.
so this is off topic, but i splurged and bought a roomba at costco the other day. It's the robot that vacuums for you. It was $300 but it kills my back to vacuum so I thought it was worth it. THis thing is amazing!!!! I had vacuumed and steam mopped the night before because I wanted to see if it picked up anything that I didnt. I just did the living/dining area and kitchen. It went for over an hour (I dont have a big place, fairly small) and I couldn't believe all that it picked up, especially dust and lint. It went under all furniture. I was shocked and am soooo happy to have it. I have wood floors that get so dusty and the baby constantly has my hair stuck to her etc. Anyway, wanted to let you all know in case anyone is having back problems and doesnt want to vacuum!!
Hope everyone else is doing well!
So this is off topic

 

[trixie79]

Well girls I fell down the stairs tonie with Conor!!! He is grand just cried outta shock but hurt my arm pretty bad.. Not broken thank god but very badly bruised can hardly move, can't lift Conor tomorrow it for the next few days... Still in shock actually!

 

[_dreamer_]

Oh no trix! So sorry you fell! Hope your arm heals quickly. Glad conor was ok though.

Wow stranj, vacuum robot sounds amazing I want one lol. Never heard of it before. Bet giada will look so cute as an elephant, if you can, post a pic!

Hispirits, so glad the scan went well, so exciting. Hope you're not too bored in hospital

 

[Claire1]

Oh Trixie, hope your arm gets better soon. Ive stumbled a couple times but not quite fallen. The LO's are so fidgety now, its no wonder these things happen x

 

[Hispirits]

strange and trixie hope you both feel better with your aches and pains.
the vacum robot sounds awesome!!
i wonder if it could teach my hubby a thing or too? he's such a lazy swine lol

i just got home from the hospital and i'm so glad to be back, it was so boring. i went in feeling fine and have come home feeling drained and crappy.

i weren't allowed to leave my room because it meant disconnecting the wires in my head from the computer, so i had to go on a camode, nice!
my blood pressure feel through the floor, and they wanted to keep me in til tomorrow, but i came home, being bed ridden was not doing me any good.

so i'm all crabby, going to get fish and chips and get in my own bed for a decent nights sleep!

xxxxx

 

[trixie79]

hi girls, thankfully im feeling a good bit better, i can now lift the baby and not as sore.....the elbow is black blue and yellow!and serious carpet burns too!
ah well, at least conor is good. it could have been so much worse.

conor is doing well, although now that he is standing, half cruising and trying to climb everything he is black and blue from banging into things or falling over!!.....sleeping much better but the clock goes back tonite and im dreading the 4am wake up call im going to get!!

hope your all well......glad your scan went well his, its so lovely to see them move abt...i actually am missing being pregnant!!

 

[lilrojo]

Oh wow trixie sorry to hear about your fall. im a bit behind but happy to hear all is okay and connor was fine.. how scary.. and of course we all take the brunt of it and protect our babies... ouchy..

Hi happy to hear your scan went well.. hope your rested up and feeling better..

Hope everyone is doing well..

Bryce is army crawling all over the house now, getting so much faster lol.. he has been for a while now but now is faster... time to babyproof, again lol.. and teach my daughter to keep little things picked up should be fun.. cant believe he's 8.5 month now.. ekks.. time if flying..

so excited for halloween.. Im almost over my pinkeye.. wed i can wear my contacts again!! cant wait.. and no one else got it so a big big plus..

 

[trixie79]

Must have missed that Iil... Wats pinkeye ???glad your better now!

Any one know wer you can get a cheap steam mop??? My floors are so dirty even though I'm constantly cleaning them! I'd say if I got the vacuum robot he would never stop!!!!!

 

[_dreamer_]

Hows everyone?

Glad you are feeling a bit better trix. I think pinkeye is what we call conjunctivitis (eye infection anyways).

Erin has now cut her 4th tooth!! The top two side ones have come through. The clocks going back an hour has been great for us and the past few nights Erin has gone down at between 7.30 and 8 and woken at 7.30. She's still varied on how often she wakes, she did 3 times the other night but only twice last night and once the night before. We have her 8-12 month development review on the 7th nov so going to speak to them about how slowly weaning is going, and also that she will only nurse to sleep for naps and bed. It's starting to drain me, and I'm getting worried that she cant self soothe at all, and for when I go back to work and she's at nursery. Considering doing controlled crying but think we're going to find it soooo hard because we never leave her to cry. I went out last night for just an hour, but Erin woke up just after I'd left, and she screamed the whole time for my OH, she was hysterically sobbing when I got home and only nursing her calmed her down and got her back to sleep.

Anyways she's 9 months today!!! Happy halloween everyone...hope you're all having a good day!

 

[trixie79]

Ah she is so cute!!!!

 

[StranjeGirl]

Oh trixie I am so sorry about your fall I am glad that you are recovering and that both you and conor are ok. It's a good reminder to all of us to be extra aware. The same happened to my friend when her lo was a little younger than conor. Hope your arm heals soon!

Adorable pics dreamer!!!! We got an elephant costume for giada as the octopus one was way too uncomfortable. I will have tp post a pic tomorrow.

Lilrojo I don't know how you do it with two, and now thinking of a third!! Ahhhh!! I admire you. I think I would have lost my mind! I feel so overwhelmed with one. I hope baby proofing goes well.

Giada pulled herself up on a chair today so I guess I will have to do more baby proofing soon.

So glad you are done with the hospital hispirits. How are you feeling and when is your next scan?

I'm feeling a bit down tonight. It's halloween, my favorite day of the year and also the anniversary of when dh and I decided to become exclusive, and he proposed on halloween the year after. Anyway, dh had to leave at 6am this morning for work and won't be back til friday I was devastated as it is giada's first halloween, and obviously he was bummed too. I am also upset because we always get each other a halloween card and acknowledge our anniversary and this year it seems he totally blew me off. On top of that he said he would be back at the hotel after dinner and I was looking forward to talking to him before bed, and it is 12:10 in the morning and he is still not back. He called me at 10:30 from the restaurant saying that he was going to be late because they are at a really nice restaurant with someone from work, but I am still upset. I know he isn't out with girls or anything, and the guy who he is with from his office here is very religious (Jehovah's Witness) so they wouldn't be doing anything I wouldn't approve of, but I still feel blown off and upset. Sorry I just needed to vent.

Hope everyone else is doing well!!

i hope your feeling better now hun. bless ya.

i'm all good thanks everyone. suffering with headaches this week and a bit tired, but hey 12 weeks saturday,
if i werent pregnant id got get p****d to celebrate! oh well a chinese will have to do.
i never thought i'd get this far.
my next scan is monday 12th, i'll be just over 13 weeks, they are doing the downs screening too.
i met my midwife yesterday, i was so relieved she was fabulous! she sent me away with the wad of forms and she's coming to see me tuesday to go through it all with me.
i got an angelsounds doppler tuesday, had no luck picking baby up on it. but the next day the midwife got it no sweat, such a lovely sound!!! like a little train
so i sent my angelsounds back to amazon and brought a hi bebe off ebay. i'm hoping i'll have more luck with it.

when did you guys start to have a proper bump? i feel like i'm growing out side ways not front ways, my hips feel massive, i feel as wide as a barge!

also when did you feel the first proper kick/movement?

i'll be bombarding you guys form now til may, so be prepared! lol

 

[trixie79]

well girls, hope you all had a nice weekend....how is everyone?

claire how are you and hubby??

his your 12 weeks today congrats....time just flies by ...enjoy!! i felt conor and the triplets really early from abt 13/14 weeks but it was more a tingling than a kick...think i got a real kick at abt 16 weeks...i think!

stranje hope your feeling better, men just dont think like we do....unfortunately!

we had a wedding yesterday and it was lovely, conor went to the childminders overnight and slept from 7.30 till 7.30 eh!!! wat the hell are my doing wrong!

i started the controlled crying technique on thurs nite buut conor doesnt really cry anymore, just when he is really tired....so i gave him his bottle at 6.45 an hour early and put him in his cot awake and waited.......took an hour but he went over himself and slept till 2 then i picked him up, in2 bed and then ptu him back and he slept till 7am.......but jarka said that he fell asleep in her arms last nite and then slept all nite....so dont know wat to do!!!!??????

wat do you all do?? i would have given him weetabix at 6.45 and bottle at 7.30 but the sleep therapist at work told me to miss out the supper and give a bottle before he gets overtired.....she says to give it at 6.30 and take him upstairs awake and put him down....

im sooo tired and have been for 9 1/2 months, something need to change, so i think ill try the same tonite and see how he gets on.
also his naps are all over the place, so i need to sort that out too!.....he kinda dropped the 4pm one but fights the tiredness....so generally he naps in the morning for 1/2 hour and 1 1/2 hours anytime in the afternoon, its just hard when you need to go out of the house and dont know when to go!!

 

[_dreamer_]

Hispirits, congrats on reaching 12 weeks! that's grear that your midwife is lovely. In the US will you gave that midwife for your labour? I showed really quickly as I was a size 8, she had no where else to hide lol. Without clothes on I had a little bump by 11 weeks, I think when I announced at 13 weeks you could see a little bump if I wore a tighter top, then by 16 weeks I'd say you could def tell I was pregnant. Miss my bump! And on feeling her kick...I felt little pokes first like being poked from inside with the end of a pen or something. I'll have a look in my preg journal and see when that was as I can't remember.

Trix, we're also thinking about trying controlled crying, I posted in the support thread in baby club though as Im really unsure how it will work for us. She only nurses to sleep and is waking 3 times most nights wanting milk. I know she shouldn't need night feeds but Im struggling on how to stop them. she doesn't self settle at all, its just getting too much now, and I keep thinking I need to get this sorted before going back to work.

Stranj, I'm really sorry to hear that you were so down the other night. Congrats on your exclusive/engagement anniversary What happened did he make it up to you? Trix has it right when she says men don't think like us, it would be so much easier if they did!

Claire how's things going?

 

[Hispirits]

Thanks girls
Lol dreamer, I live in the uk too xxxx

 

[_dreamer_]

Oh yeah I knew that! sorry bit tired today lol. So that'll be a no then haha you'll probably see a few different ones while pregnant and a couple while in labour lol
