Disco Derail! - TTCAL/PAL Discussion and Support!

[Sugarlove2]

Thanks for the advice re teething girls. Sounds like I could be waiting a long time for pesky teeth to pop through then. Going to try the cucumber and cold wash flannel I think. I've also got a Sophie Giraffe, but Charlotte can't fit it into her gob yet properly.

Vicky have fun taking Hero swimming. Love the vid you put up on fb of her up to mischief. She's so cute!

Lucy, that's crap about your HV. Bang put of order! I would do the same as you and demand an explanation as to why you've been referred. Talk about undermining your parenting skills! Try no to question your relationship withe Ben though. You're a fab Mummy and put him first all the time. Some of these HV really are rubbish! Try and put it out of your mind and have a great time at your Mum's.

We are just having a nice chilled out weekend and our village is having a little jubilee celebration on Monday. There's dancing round the maypole and a kids sports day and picnic. Will take Charlotte for a look round I think. Unfortunately, the weather is meant to be poor, but I'm sure we will have fun anyway.

Ho to everyone else x

Luce totally understandable that youre upset over this hun...I think you shouldnt take it too seriously cause like you said your hv doesnt really know you or your relationship with Benjamin. We dont have hvs here but from what ive read on countless threads on B&B it seems that sometimes they are just meddling bitches...

Im pretty happy with myself these past two weeks, i finally wrapped up the project i was working on since going back to work last may! The feedback from the clients who tried the new product range was really excellent and we already have a few tons in orders. My boss was really proud and he gave me a nice fat bonus! last night after the meeting with our very demanding Swiss clients who were praising me all day, i came home and sobbed for about an hour. It was a mix of pride and releif that there is a reason why Hero doesnt see me as much as she should. With this bonus I will be able to afford a new place very soon where she will finally have her own space!

 

[hoping:)]

Sugar- have a nice relaxing weekend!

Vicky- that is AWESOME!!! Congrats You deserve that fat bonus after all your hard work!

I hope the rest of the Disco girls have a nice weekend. I'm about to wrap up at work and pick up my little munchkin... I'm thinking tonight I will take Penny to her 1st movie

 

[Dazed]

Vicky, that is AWESOME!

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Vicky that brilliant, well done you.x

 

[jenny25]

That's awesome vicky xxx

 

[Round2]

Awe, well done Vicky!! Makes it all worth while.

 

[pregoinnorge]

great news Vicky! It's so great that they reward you for your hard work!

I had my first girls night out last night since Ella was born (well since before I was pregnant) and it was so great. Felt weird to not be lugging around a stroller and a huge diaper bag! I drank perhaps a little too much, especially now that my tolerance is crap...

My husband is finally home so now I feel like our real life can finally start! I can get to the gym more frequently and be able to have a bit more freedom so I am really looking forward to that!

 

[Allie84]

Vicky, congrats, that's amazing!!! Well deserved...Hero will be very proud of you.

Amy, glad you had a good girls' night out. Can't believe that was your first time away from Ella?!?! Or just your first girls' night? Great news about hubby. Your life will definitely become easier now. Did he get a new job? Btw is Ella crawling? Thought it saw it on FB.

Hearty, thanks for your words re: CBT. I should clarify that I certainly think social workers make good therapists..it's what they're trained for, after all. What I meant is they referred me to county-run, gov't social services (which is odd since I have insurance) and it was more like a DMV than a therapy office...and she was soooo patronizing when I tried to say that I was sure CBT was a certain type of therapy. She said "You'll learn" etc (and she left mid-meeting to throw up....seriously). How are you and that little girl you're cooking doing?


Sugar, that sounds like such fun! I want to go to a jubilee and dance round a maypole! Hope Charlotte's teething is doing better.

Just curious, why are you all against giving your babies medication? You just mean Tylenol/Calpol right? I mean I understand not abusing it but it is safe, right?

Alistiar is teething as well...he has a little piece of a tooth that's broken through. I don't think it's bothering him, though? He isn't sleeping very well so maybe it is. I got some Hyland's teething tablets I may give him tonight.

Hoping, what movie did you take Penny to? How did she do? I woul love to take Alistair to a movie! Did the loudness upset her? Hope you're having a good weekend.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Amy - Glad you had a fun night out, I miss girls nights out.

Allie - I avoid giving poppy medicine just because I don't want to make it habit, it's perfectly safe though so if I needed to I'd definately give it to her.

We've had a bit of a health scare with Zac, he has a lump on his spine and he has to have an MRI scan next week. I'm trying to stay positive but I'm so scared something is wrong. Please keep him in your thoughts.xx

 

[heart tree]

Sorry girls, I've been crap at keeping up.

Sassy, you must be so scared right now. I'm so sorry you have to even be thinking about this when all you should be thinking about is getting proper sleep and enjoying being a mum with a new baby. He's definitely in my prayers. What day is his MRI? How do they do an MRI on a newborn? How do they keep him still?

Allie, she left the room to throw up? I can't comprehend that. She left to throw up and then came back and told you about it? That's just strange. You need someone new.

Amy, that is so awesome that your hubby is moving back! You must be so happy. And a girls night too? You're like a new woman! Booze it up babe!

Vicky, you are a freaking superstar! Wow! I'm so proud of you. That must feel so satisfying. By the way, I love the FB video of Hero playing with the mop. She's an independent girl. You are going to have so much fun when she's a teenager! LOL!

Sugar, I want to jubilee with you! What a fun sounding time for everyone!

Round are you done with work yet? When is the delivery day? I want to count down with you.

Hi to the rest of the ladies.

Tim and I went to an all day intensive childbirth prep class yesterday. It was helpful and I think it helped Tim to feel more involved. I can tell he's going to be a great birthing partner. He was really into the class. He was happy that they showed 3 videos of women giving birth. I think he feels more at ease now. More details about it in my journal as well as my weekly bump pic on the first page. 8 more sleeps until my next scan.

 

[SMFirst]

hi ladies
I actually clicked a wrong link and I had saved this thread, but haven't checked it in forever..

I wanted to say SUPER congrats to Hearttree, Round and Jenny - I might have glimpsed that you were pregnant way back at the beginnings of your pregnancies but I am so glad to see that you are all doing well still - only a short number of weeks left for Hearty and Round!

Sugar glad you are back and chatting

For everyone else, hello and hope you are doing well (sorry I haven't read back too much so I'm not up to date on goings on...)

I actually haven't been on BnB much since Adam was born, but we are doing well
I hope I can get back to chatting on BnB a bit, it's always a good outlet for discussions!
I've been getting out with other moms IRL and it's so much better than being with the baby alone all day!!

 

[Sassy_TTC]

We haven't got a date for the scan yet as its bank holiday in the uk today and tomorrow, we'll find out Wednesday morning, no doubt it'll be on Friday (Poppy's 1st birthday)!

He'll be put to sleep which right now I'm more scared of, he's too tiny to go through all this

 

[Round2]

Sassy, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Poor little Zac. My SIL had to go through numerous MRI's with her DD at very young age...she was put to sleep for all of them and recovered fine each time. Sending you all the thought and prayers I can muster!!

Hearty, I read about your birthing class. So jealous....I wish we had G&A here. What a great option, especially for someone like me who may not be able to get an epidural. Hearing you talk about Tim melts my heart! He's going to be such a great Dad.

Allie..WTF....find someone new, that is just bizarre!

SM, welcome back. Congrats on baby Adam. Do you have an pictures for us?

AFM, had contractions from 1-3 am last night. Then they just stopped. I'm off to the docs now, gonna see if I can stop the blood thinner injections today. I really don't want to go into labour pumped full blood thinners. T-minus 2 weeks till my first opprutunity for induction....if I don't go on my own first! Guess I better pack my bags and pick out a name soon!!!

 

[SMFirst]

Here's a few of his newborn pics

He looks the same now, just bigger

 

[heart tree]

Oh Sassy, that's incredibly scary. I wouldn't like that one bit. I'm sure they know what they're doing, but it still doesn't make it less scary. Plus, I know what a protective mummy you are. This must be very stressful for you.

Round, that's exciting! You are so so close! Keep us posted on the docs appointment. How close together were your contractions?

SM, welcome back and thanks for the words of encouragement. I was dying over the cuteness of the pictures. OMG, so incredibly CUTE!!!

 

[hoping:)]

Sugar- yay for finally getting a girl’s night! My tolerance is crap as well. I’m so glad to hear your hubby is back at home!

Allie- WTF?! I’m glad you are looking for another therapist. Why did she throw up? I don’t like to give Penny medication because I would rather try natural remedies first but if I can see she is still in pain I will give her baby Tylenol or Ibuprofen. We went to see What to Expect When You Are Expecting. The out come is in my journal and was quite comical but it will be a long time before I take her to one again.

Sassy- I really hope the lump is nothing serious but I know how hard it is not to worry especially with them having to put him under. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Hearty- I can’t wait to see your scan picture! The last one you shared with her sweet little face was precious.

SM- I’m glad to hear your are doing great and getting out and about with Adam. It is nice to see you posting in here. I LOVE the newborn pictures of him.

Round- I hope those contractions did something! I can’t believe you may only have 2 weeks or less before you meet this LO! It sounds like you may not need help with induction if you keep contracting on your own. Yes, a name and packed bags are necessary. lol

 

[vickyd]

Sass you and Zac will be in my prayers hun...what a scary thing for you to go through...

I had the worst 3 day weekend ever, got into a huge row with my inlaws and i never want to see them again. Im having a hard time convincing Alex about this but seriously i just never want to be in the same room with them...Ill elaborate tomorrow, huge migrane pumping away and absolutely no energy left to talk about it right now. Love you all...

 

[heart tree]

Vicky get some rest. I'm dying to know what happened so when you have some time, let us know.

 

[Allie84]

Oh, Sassy, you're in my prayers, as is little Zac! I must stop by your journal this evening.

Vicky, I'm so sorry! I'm also dying to know what happened. Hope you're resting and your migraine is going away.

Hoping, oh no, I'll stop by your journal tonight to see what happened! I was hoping for an inspirational story.

Susan, welcome back! I can't view pics right now but will tonight. Glad to see you!

Round, omg, I can't believe how near the end you are! Your pregnancy has flown by (for me )

About the therapist, yes, she told me she was going to throw up, left the room for 10 minutes and came back and told me and said "I was so sick! I don't know why! This never happens!" She also proceeded to pick her teeth and look at what she picked out on her fingers before flicking it to the ground, all while telling me in a patronzing manner that all therapy was CBT. Ugh.
