Disco Derail! - TTCAL/PAL Discussion and Support!

[msarkozi]

Thanks Allie. Things with Gord will always be difficult at times I think. Until he realizes he is 37 years old and needs to grow up, then we will have our moments. This summer has helped him some. Back in April, he quit his job and moved to Manitoba for 3 months to work with his stupid cousins. I seen him for a week out of those 3 months. After being gone, he realized that he needs to put me and Kash first (which he has never done prior to this) and that he was stupid for quitting his job. Thankfully, when he returned home at the end of July, he got a great job and is happy. I think he also realized during that 3 months, that I don't need him. I was forced to pay all the bills and everything on my own during that time, as I had no financial support from him. So I think that scared him knowing that I can survive without him.

I am glad you and Alex are working on things. They always say having a kid will make or break your relationship. I think as long as you put the effort in to remember who you were before the kid, then you will always figure things out We love our spouses, but having a kid really can make us hate our spouses too lol!

Nato, just poas with me a week early I am so going to have my addiction back.....this time, we decided not to do the ovulation tests and just go with whatever happens. I know when about my ovulation dates are, so that is going to be at the back of my mind.....but I really want to get pregnant this month, as I really hate having aunt flo visit lol!

 

[hoping:)]

Nato- I’m still not counting you out!

Allie- I’m glad Alex came to his senses. I hope the counseling helps out in the communication area. Tim and I are going to make a date night jar tonight… maybe you should give it a try and set aside time once a week for just the two if you? All you do is get a jar and some popsicle sticks and write date ideas on them. Our lives are always pretty hectic especially with Penny, the business and working opposite schedules but from 9 pm to midnight is our time. Sure I have to wake up early for work but it is worth the alone time I get with him. I know you guys will get through this if you put in the effort. Marriage will always have ups and downs but it all depends on how you deal with it. I hope this little blip will only make your relationship stronger.

Vicky- poor little Hero. I hope she is doing better today. Penny is at the stage now where I think a helmet would be useful... they are so accident prone when mobile. I thought it was so cute she called you into her roomn in the middle of the night to examine her pink hand.

Sparkly- 20 pounds is amazing!!! Well done. You certainly deserve some time away

Mel- FX you don’t have a visit from AF this month!

Nato, sorry about the Boofn. It's still early days though and you'll be duffed up in no time.

Sorry for the quick post, I'm on my way out soon for a pizza

 

[msarkozi]

everyone has been MIA for 24 hours

 

[Sassy_TTC]

I'm here!

 

[LucyJ]

I'm back!

Alli thats really good news I hope the councilling helps it sounds like the house has acted as a catalyst to getting you talking and Alex made a knee jerk reaction to the situation by asking for a trial separation Im glad hes realised its not what he want and that you & alistair are. Good luck with finding a new place. Oh and I dont think your spamming I like to hear whats going on in your life.

Well we took one step forward and then one step back he didnt settle as well last night that maybe due to teething I can see a tooth just waiting to pop up but its not braking through poor baby. Tonight he was a overtired so was a bit tougher to get him down.

Whats everryone up to over the weekend?

 

[msarkozi]

Teething is brutal! I think Kash is getting some eye teeth now. He actually slept last night through the night, thank goodness.

I have a busy weekend. Tomorrow there is a cancer run in Town, and so I will be walking in that. Gord is hosting a golf tournament for the kids (ages 4-17) on Sunday, and so I have been helping him with some of that. I have to also make over 100 cupcakes for Sunday as well for him. So I will be doing that between tonight and tomorrow. And I am chopping my hair off on Sunday as it is annoying me lol!

What about you Luce?

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Teeth have never bothered poppy, I swear by her amber anklet!

I'm off to London tomorrow to visit my bf, then Sunday I'll catch up with family! Danny's working 12 hour days all weekend so it's just me and the kiddies

 

[LucyJ]

We're having a quite one this weekend as the last several ones have been so busy we've got some boring jobs to do dump run sorting etc but as the weathers going to be nice think we will go out. Im also going baby shopping my friend had a little girl 10 days ago been looking for something for her but havent found anything Ive liked so hoping to find something tomorrow. Im so happy for her she suffered a mmc then lost her little boy at 32 weeks which was just heartbraking Im just so happy that after so much pain she has a little girl safe and sound.

Mel sounds like youve got a busy weekend ahead hmmm cupcakes but thats a lot to make.

Sassy have a lovely time with your bf.

 

[msarkozi]

awe, that is great news for your friend Luce! 32 weeks is so harsh! well, it is at any point, but I find it very cruel when a person is so far along. I am glad she has her little girl safe in her arms

Have a great time in London Sass!

I have an amber necklace for Kash as well. I swear by them too. There just seems to be the odd times that nothing works. He only has 12 teeth so far, and 8 more to go.....4 more molars, and eye teeth top and bottom

 

[heart tree]

Wow, the old crew is back!

Typing with one hand. Must keep it short. Am reading everything. Still super busy with the babe. Sorry about the BooFN Nato!

Hi hearty wave wave wave

 

[LucyJ]

hearty

Nato how are you feeling?

Jen Hope you get some sleep I was so sad to say goodbye to my midwife too hoping I'll have her with future pregnanciestne.

Teething sucks Benjamins only got 4 teeth bless him so a few more to go there is another one there ready but its just not braking through poor baby hes coping ok today a but clingy but not to bad.

Thanks Mel shes an amazing person has been so strong and im just so happy for her and her partner they'll be amazing parents.

Well after saying we're having a quite weekend steves had to go out to reherase with his dad as they are in a recording studio on wed (a birthday present for his dad from his dads partner she wanted both the boys involved) they are so unorganised theyve not got round to doing much rehearsing so decided steve and his dad would have one today steves brother cant make it, we've been out all morning doing stuff, so hoping tomorrow will be quieter.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

I have no idea how they work but a drives recommended them and I though anythings worth a try!

I can honestly (hand on heart) say that poppy has never been up in the night from teething! She could be hard as nails but I truly believe its down to the anklet!

Zac's been wearing his since 4 weeks and I pray it works as well for him!

Poppy has 16 teeth already.x

 

[heart tree]

Oh god, everyone is talking about teething wherever I go. I'm scared now! I thought it was going to get easier after she turned 3 months. Now I'm hearing it can get harder. Eeeek!!!

Still haven't properly read back. Not sure I'll be able to unfortunately. But I can tell you all that Tim is behaving much better recently. Right after I complained about him, he took the baby out for a long walk so I could take a 2 hour nap. Then he basically told me to "tell him what to do" when I need him to do something. I get sick of repeating the same thing over and over, but whatever! I can tell him what to do with her and he'll do it. It's pretty great. Obviously things aren't perfect, but they are better.

Going to try and catch up now....

 

[LucyJ]

Hopefully delilah wont have any problems with teething my friends little girl is fine with it they just pop up no problems. Benjamins gums become bruised when a tooth is about to pop up.

Thats good news about tim glad things are better.

 

[Dazed]

Amanda - Glad things are better with Tim. Sometimes it just takes telling them what to do just to get a break when you need it. I don't even have kids and I have to tell Nick what to do more than I like.

 

[msarkozi]

Thanks Hearty. It's good to be back

Don't be scared of teething; every kid handles it differently. I do swear by the amber as well though. Kash's teeth took forever to come through. He had only 4 for the longest time, and then all of a sudden got hit with 8 at once. And when he cut the molars, he managed just fine and I believe it was because of the amber. There is supposed to be a natural remedy in them, and it touching the skin absorbs it, which heals the pain basically.

It can definitely be stressful when it comes to the husband and baby. Unfortunately, I still pretty much raise Kash all on my own. The odd time, Gord helps out. He has realized that he needs to do it more, so I am hoping he does. Once the second baby arrives (whenever that will happen), he is going to have to start helping out.

I have finally been able to sit down and take some time to relax. I was baking cupcakes until 1:40am last night, and then up by 8:00 to get ready for the cancer walk. I was so tired! I had a nap with Kash after lunch, thank goodness....but then it was still go go go until he went to bed. Just watching The Lucky One and then heading to bed after this

 

[NatoPMT]

16 teeth, thats more than me isnt it?

Ive been looking into it, as someone at stay and play said it helps calm them even without teething, but Eloise is a pretty chilled baby anyway, shes never had any problems teething but she only has 4, she gets red cheeks but thats it really. Shes not up for staying up all night either. Molars might be different mind

Mel those cupcakes looked brilliant. Hope you raised lots of money, i assume it was for charity

Hearty- glad Tim's pulled his man socks up.

Luce are your family the Nolans?

I got a magazine yesterday that had a big astrology special in, i NEVER read astrology and usually skip right past it, but i had a little look at the gemini page and it said that Saturn was moving out of the 5th house where its been for 2.5 years, into the 6th making it easier to conceive. It moves on Oct 5, date next af is due. Bloody saturn is the only thing about astrology that makes me wonder. I had a nightmare of a Saturn Returns. Think its due back in about 28 years, hopefully i will have my number 2 baby by then.
