OMG WENT UP A BOX ON MY TICKER DDDDDDDDDDD

Frick, only 1 more to go up scary!

 

[Dragonfly]

woohoo! great stuff. not long till mine does. it is freaky when it goes up a box near the end. I remember being excited in second tri when it went up only to be scared when i got into third lol

Sorry for those of you who had a crappy weekend. Mandy that name is lovely! Elm, what is a snuggle nest? We have a bassinet for the first few months as he will be in our room. We have a cot in the nursery. Helen, I sympathize with you being sick, every so often I get sick as well but this has only happened to me in the third tri as I didnt get sick once in first tri. Weird.
Baby D, congrats on your wedding plans. Its bound to be a beautiful day for the both of you, lavish or not.
Dragonfly, my heart goes out to you. I know how much work it is to try to keep up with the normal work when youre feeling like crap, not to mention all the other unecessary stuff that is thrown at you. Sounds like you have a decision to make, although it is a tough one. *HUGS*

have calmed down, darren had dogs out all day and I pottered aroudn the house chilling out and cleaning. To this time the livingroom is stil tidy and bruce is sleeping beside me still! he had a good day running about darrens brotehr house playing with his dogs and has come back exhausted and not peed once of even showed any signs of bad behavior! weird. He needs to be taken out more he cant sit about here and wreak the house and i cant walk him as he is leathal on a lead, last time before i was preg he actually cut mt hand he pulled so hard and now darren has to walk him and he has to take turns with the dogs as he cant manage both them.
He is like a new dog, I seen him change. So darren agrees he needs out more . He was scared in bros house as so many come in and out but thats what he normally is like at home now when he came home he was confortable today so maybe he relises home is safe.
fingers crossed for him. he is getting neutered also. I have to give him another chance. he was so good today after he came in and all night that i couldnt not pet him and see how he was. and my house is clean! The floors are not covered in dog hair as they normally are after a few hours, there is no dirty, no pee, just the same as it was after i cleaned it this moring!

I still feel down a bit. I hate when something pees me off it kinda leaves an effect for a few hours, dosnt go away just like that.

baby is rumbling away in here kicking me fanny again (sorry i cannot think of a nicer word for it lol ) but its sometimes sore, its a wee sharp pain when it punches or kicks down there. makes me gasp. felt someting slide past my hand earlier. think it was an arm. wish i knew what way this baby was lying so i could tell but I think its feet by top and hands at bottom??

 

[hypnorm]

Hope some of the info i sent you helped Dragonfly.
I woke up at 5am with the start of a migraine.. luckily i dont seem to get them as bad as i used to, but stil up at 6.30 with hubby to do his lunch and flasks for the day, and guess who pottered out of his bedroom as well!! Ewan ready to start the day lol!

 

[Dragonfly]

Yep it did, hypermom. He is still being good. I just hope today he gets out,. I would let him out the back longer except my neighbour has this rat type dog that barks like a choked chicken being murdered and it annoys everyone. My dogs ignore it though but its very irratating the noise and she leaves it out there all day and night with the other dog who is near dead. She has never walked her dogs ever just leaves them in garden and they go demented and eventually stop barking and walk in lines in the grass. Now they are bored dogs.

I have a weird numb patch that tingles under my boob its anooying. I know its nerve damage but how the heck did i get it there?? used to have nerve damage on my back,meck and knee so know how it feels. Its been there ever since baby was kicking about there. Will ask midwife has baby damaged me or sometihng. Hope its not some weird symptom of sometihng else.

I got paid! thank god i can get oil now.

i hate migrains i suffered from them fro years after my accident with the neck things. I used to eat migralieve. Choc made it worse which i dont eat anymore but the tens machine seems to have stimulated the nerves and i have no nerve damage or migrains really. Aint used it in months to scared with pregnancy.Will do for the labour though.

my sky remote broke so i am waiting for new one to arrive, it better be quick i cant be arsed flicking through channels on the box i am to lazy lol

some people have their trees up in our town! now thats early!

 

[hypnorm]

my hips are also killing me this morning, moved to get out of bed and think i caught a nerve.. ooow!! Ewan said 'did you hurt your self mummy?'

 

[Dragonfly]

I had sore feet when i work and hips, why sore feet??? weird. also the other nigt i remeber waking up and going to the loo and feeling like i had a bowling ball in my bum, and i didnt need a pooh!

and wait till you hear! i posted my sure start form off on friday recirded delivery and they are putting it in on wednesday! :O record time! they always say they loose stuff and never get it i just made sure they couldnt this time and it worked. so i can get all my baby stuff now ! woohoo!

 

[Dragonfly]

Yes my parnets are buying the pram and car seat and I have the rest choosen on mother care online and have some to spare! woohoo! even got myself some nice stuff in there. I cant wait to get it all!

Hello

Glad things are going better for you Dragonfly.

That sounds really cute of Ewan hypnorm.

Michelle - we're co-sleeping and so we're getting a Snugglenest so we're more confident about it. You put it between the pillows on your bed with LO in -

How are things going at work Helen? Hope it's not getting you down x

Congratulations on moving up a box Mandy.

Hope you're ok LuluBee and Laura and everyone else x

that looks so cute elm i co sleeped with rosie once and they say your aware that they are there but i rolled on top of rosie lol luckily she was bout 6 wks so didnt hurt her i'm such a heavy sleeper.

well work today was interesting, i sent an email to the director and cc in the company owner, i asked for him to just get on with it and stop trying to point the finger at me and stop trying to make excuses for my manager. anyway 5 to 5 as i'm leaving the director called me at my desk, asked if i was ok and that he had gone through the minutes taken in my interview and said he'd come back with his findings, i said i was just keen to get the results. he then said if we were to give you a letter of apology from the company would i accept. to be totally honest i just thought to myself i can't do this anymore i really need the stress gone i hate even going to work and its tainting my precious pregnancy. it took years of fertility treatment, i've been scanned, poked, prodded, i swallowed more pills than i could count and we'd given up, then hey presto. so i just want to get on with things, so i said yes i'd accept that and i will tell him when i speak tp him i want it in writing that no more stupidness is going to happen and the door will go back on my office.
craig was ohhhh helen you should have wiped the floor with them cos they gonna apologise means they know you have em by the balls etc etc. but i said whats more important he's a twat everyone knows he's a twat no-one respects him at work so let someone else deal with the shite and we'll carry on with our sons first few weeks of life without worrying about courts and solicitors etc and having to find the money to pay for it on top.
just hope i've made the right decision, what does everyone think? do you think i should have took it even further? am i mad or a flipping wimp? i'm too soft arent i?

it alright me saying oooo i'll make you pay etc but actually physically doing it is different and a newborn in toe even worse.

Helen,

I think you've done what's right for you - you've gone with what you instinctively felt and I'm sure it'll be loads better for you healthwise leaving this behind you and I'm sure your last few weeks at work will be loads better without it all hanging over you. They're admitting that they're in the wrong and they're apologising which is fantastic .

thats what i think as well hun,
they're going to apologise to me in writing so they admitting tat he's in the wrong, i'm not a money grabber to me an apology and my door (lol) and i happy rest of my pregnancy will be the best thing ever cos i do feel miserable about it and i hate being angry
xx

 

[Michelle100]

I agree Helen, this stress is not good for you. It's very tiring I would imagine. Best for you to enjoy your much wanted pregnancy and relax a bit hon.

 

[Dragonfly]

Given your circumstance I think you done right. you dont need all the stress and court appearances when you have a new baby. I would have said go for it but only if you where not pregnant as I did when I wasnt becasue I had nothing else to do with no job. I would still threaten to take them to court and little do they know what your plans are really. make that manager shit himself though and dont let him think he is off the hook. An apoligy may well be ok but is he going to keep on pissing people about? what happens if you go back to work? will he give you crap and you know if you dont go back you still have a case. But for now thats not important, less stress is.

My dog is lying with his head in the cats stomach and the cat has the paws around his nose and they just relaxing here. Its so cute looking! socks the cat really does like the dogs she has no fear of them and they like her. This is Bruce who is cuddled up beside me with the cat. He is so much better from the other day since he got out and about . Has no peed once in the house since! miracle.

I ate a cream egg and now i am getting a headache my first bit of choc in a long time and its proved to be the usual sicky headache. I hope i am ok for midwife tomorrow all i need is a migrain.

designed my mum a nice birthday card on moonpig, its a good site if you only have a few quid and not enough for an actual present a nice persoalized card from me darren and bump will do.

 

[hypnorm]

sounds good! did your OH take him again yesterday then?

 

[LuluBee]

Sorry ladies, my stitches have been really sore the past few days I'm trying to spend more time lying down resting - think I've been overdoing it!
Helen - I think you did the right thing, sometimes it's better for you to just let go of the anger and stress and get on with things
Elm: I love your little snuggle nest, I bet Chicken will too
Have to go, got very sore lady bits, keeping legs crossed don't want Pip to get here before Christmas

 

[Dragonfly]

No hypermom it was lashing and he didnt go anywhere but tried to keep him entertained indoors, he is going out today though darren is getting ready now. Least I can get the floors mopped! cant wait to get some peace and clean.

 

[helen1234]

you keep rested lulu you come this far.

the director at work has really pee'd me off, he should have seen my supervisor to talk to him bout the door but he's cancelled and coming down next week, thye think they have it in the bag, 'lets write her a letter fob her off and be done with it' thats how it feels anyway. so i emailled him asked to speak to him. he emailled me back said if its about the grievance he has to conferance call it and stick to formalitys,
i emailled back asking if last nights conversation was conference. he hasnt emailled back.
if it werent then i'm going to tell him to forget it, make them sweat. i refuse to be fobbed off like that that hoorid manager hovered around the toilet door listening to me crying to my mum while having a dump, shouted at me and accused me of abusing my mobile, verbal warned me, then when i told hr what had happened he ripped my office door off. the directors and hr have basically told him what to say to wriggle out of it, ended up pointing the finger at mne as though i'm in the wrong
well they can stuff their apology, and they can carry on thinking i'll take it to court.
i prob won't but at least it'll be my decision then won't it.

 

[Michelle100]

Great news about Bruce Dragonfly.
Elm that snugglenest is gorgeous. We co slept with Samantha for awhile, however, not by choice..we started it when she was tiny and she wouldnt go to sleep easily in her cot.
Lulu get plenty of rest, how long now before the stitches come out?
