General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[gigglebox]

Omg renewed vows!!! I am so jealous! We had a proper wedding but it really felt like it was for everyone else. Don't get me wrong, it was beautiful and had my colors and the favors I wanted and everything very "me", but I didn't get ro enjoy the day of. It was hectic, J still have dress regrets, i was so nervous with a big crowed, i barely drank...just felt like I couldn't enjoy it. I'd love a redo with just very close friends and family. Ahhh dreams. Maybe one day...but first, a van. And i'd love an extension on the house, and these take priority

Anyway id you feel like sharing a pic i'd love to see evie! When is the house expected to be done?

 

[kittykat7210]

House should be finished by her birthday (if builders get a move on!) and yeh it’s stressful, sort of regretting doing it now with such a small baby but there we go haha! For our vow renewal we were thinking next year, give us time to settle in the house and everything, I think it’s really sweet he wants to give me a ‘wedding’ he’s even replacing my rings for real ones! Don’t think we will go massive though, just family

Congratulations Clairey!! That’s so exciting!

Here’s Eves enjoying the sun anyway

 

[claireybell]

Awww kitty shes sooo gawjus & not at all jealous on vow renewals ha ha! How lovely to get all new sparkly rings, such a lovely thing! Makes me wanna get hitched now, that not gonna happen for a few yrs now!

 

[claireybell]

Gigs u should totally get vows renewed & get drunk at the Reception lol! Plus when the boys & baby no3 are that much older, it’ll be lovely! Kids love dressing up for family do’s

 

[Cppeace]

Well cd 11 temp went up more (unusual this late)
Might see a shadow on this one

 

[bdb84]

I think I see something, Cp!

:wave: kit. I'm a newbie around here. Your LO is beautiful.

AFM I'm drained today. I had so much energy yesterday, got a lot of errands done, made dinner, and slept through the night. This morning I laid back down at 8:15 and slept hard until 10 and then forced myself to get up. All I want to do is lay back down when DD2 goes down for her nap.

 

[gigglebox]

Kit she is so cute!!! Girl clothes make me want a girl. They are so dang adorable! Ohh I love looking at jewelry! Any ring prospects you'd like to share?

Hmm co I see something but when I enlarge for a better look it gets grainy on my phone

Cb oooh I love the idea of all the kiddos being involved i want to do that now maybe in 5-10 years! Need time to afford a destination wedding for us all

 

[kittykat7210]

Hey BD, congrats on your pregnancy!!

See I’m loving all the boy clothes at the moment!! Don’t want a second for a long time though! And I have looked at a few things but only really liked 1 engagement ring and 1 wedding ring but the wedding ring was too big in the picture but you get the idea but I’m not even sure they even go together

How are your boys getting on?

 

[gigglebox]

Ooooh is that a pear solitaire in ROSE gold?! Looooovvvvee I am so into rose gold right now

 

[Jezika]

Ooh I thought it was yellow gold but I’m also obsessed with rose gold (and actually all gold, so really mixed metals). Glad you popped back in, Kitty. Evie is a beauty! I like the two rings together, esp of the band was in your proper size.

 

[kittykat7210]

Thanks, I thought they were pretty special! I am going to try and keep posting, I just got out of the habit and it kept getting out on the back burner!

How are you jez?

 

[Flueky88]

Kitty awesome news on E cruising!! V started that at 10 months. She is beautiful and so is your ring!

Gigs, I would also love a sitter for 2 days to catch up on things and nap


CB in 1st tri I think any food is better than none. Seriously, sometimes all my dinner was some saltines or salt and vinegar chips (crisps).

Cppeace I think I see it!! Oh I really hope that you and Tex get sticky bfps!

AFM, AF is here. CD 1. DH didn't really have much to say when I told him I want to prevent this cycle.

I think I saw Vs top front teeth start to come in. Not 100% on this.

Omg she is throwing temper tantrums when I block her or stop her from doing something dangerous such as chew on electrical cords, etc. Her face turns red then she lets out a loud cry, and sometimes kind of thrashes/bounces out of frustration.

Definitely my daughter then. My mom said I mad her cry with my string will and tantrums. She couldn't reason with me.

Job is going well, very happy I accepted this position. Had my first day educating without previous educator there.

Hmmm, not much else I can think of. Good night

 

[gigglebox]

Fluek Lev is in that stage too. Hos latest desire is to go outside. He basically wants to be outside all the time. I think he's bored with everything inside and wants to get into the stuff he's not supposed to now. He's over all the tous etc...he wants to be escorted to the grass and have his hands held while he attempts to walk, and occasionally sits to looks at the grass then get up and moves again. He is always gogogogogoogogo and I'm fairly certain he's going to be a leash kid. And if you stop him he throws a fit.

Anyway really glad to hear the job is going well! Were you intimidated without the other person there?

Boo about cd1

 

[Flueky88]

Gigs lol sounds like we will both have rowdy toddlers. V is trying to climb too. It's alright though.

Thank you. I definitely felt nervous this morning. I was quite nauseated on drive there but was better once I arrived. The nurse is super sweet and a fast learner so it was easy. "Large" groups will probably intimidate me some.

It's okay about CD1. I know it's best financially but I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't a bit dissapointed.

 

[DobbyForever]

Will try my best running low on fumes

Kit love the pic of the rings and I agree Evie is so dang cute! I cannot believe how mobile she is! And while planning for renewing your vows may be stressful, I’m sure you’ll have a great time when the day comes.

Gigs I am with you! The only downside to no visitation is having no time to catch up on chores ugh I pretty much keep up with clean bottles, grocery shopping, and laundry (that gets washed and never put away).

Peace I think I see it but I’m not sure. FXed!

Fluek so glad the job is going well! Sorry about AF showing up. I’m the opposite I hate having someone else there haha. I hate being watched and judged even if I feel confident. And I hear you re every cycle makes you that much more prepared but still sucky

BD sounds like a case of the tired catching up with you. Hope you get some rest. You do so much! You go!

CB sorry to hear about your bil and sending more positive thoughts his way

Tex I agree you deserve a medal or a bottle of champagne just for you at the shower because man I couldn’t haha.

PL I second everyone else when are we getting some testing?!

Only went back 3 pages then lost steam

AFM *in before a lot of complaining and whining, I literally am in sweatpants aka I give up*

I interviewed today for the transfer I mentioned before and she said I got it. Just have to wait on the paperwork to go through HR and get the official offer. Not looking forward to seeing my boss/ telling her because I do love her. There’s just so many reasons to go and go now, but I don’t know how to say any of it without sounding like an ungrateful a**.

Bummed out because I had to borrow money from my parents. Hoping ex brings a check to court so I can pay them back soon, pay off my credit card, put the money I borrowed from A back, and pay my attorney. Sigh.

I feel like A is far behind on his milestones and I feel like it’s somehow my fault. He used to say hi and wave and now he’s back to babbling with no words. He’s not pulling up on furniture just on my fingers. He doesn't crawl just drags himself everywhere. He still has no teeth. He chokes on stage 3/ real food to the point of throwing up every time. The only thing I feel good about is that I wash his helmet every day and I already see his head rounding out. And now he has this persistent runny nose so he chokes on the mucus at night and we’re both tired af.

 

[TexasRider]

Dobs- Tabs didn’t get her first tooth till Christmas and she was born in March so the no teeth thing isn’t abnormal. Sorry about the rest. I know how hard it is comparing your kid to others. I asked everyone about Tabs when she was about a year-18 months old. “Do you think she could be autistic?” Everyone said no and they lied straight to my face. I could see it and so could they. She didn’t get diagnosed till 5 though. Super long wait list etc. not saying A is like that just that as parents we tend to be super focused on what our kid should or shouldn’t be doing and sometimes we have no reason to worry. My nephew is nine months old and he doesn’t talk or wave either. Just babbles.

Thanks guys I’m glad to know that everyone else thinks she’s unreasonable. Shower will be over soon and then we can get a break till closer to wedding time... in my family I am what I call “the responsible child” meaning anything that needs to be done I generally end up doing it. If someone needs help I am the one they call etc. so that’s how I ended up doing the shower.

Temp went up some today so that’s cool- if af comes it will be on shower day.. oh goody.

 

[claireybell]

Oooh Cpeace i think i see a haze on that one, let us see if you retest again today

Flueks Nuala has terrible screaming fit tantrums & you cant reason with either, you cant even look at her as it sets her off lol! Its usually when she starting to get abit tired but im hoping (wishful thinking) that it eases up when babe arrives in Dec. Sorry af arrived

Tex i hope af stays away for the shower & gives you a lovely positive test this cycle! Have u had anymore random symptoms like the sore boobs?

Dobby Riley didnt start really saying more words until he was nearly 1 & when he started day Nursery, he came on in leaps n bounds, my nephew didnt get his first tooth until he was 1 & he struggled with food because of it but he’s completely fine now & starts school Sept. i know its hard to not compare, i used to do it all the time.. sorry hes all snotty, all good for their immunity though.

Dobby ive missed you!!!!

Dobs I’m sure A is fine Evie may be up to date with her physical milestones, but her first tooth cut last week, she only babbles so that’s no waving no clapping no words. She doesn’t even feed herself! Baby led weaning went right out the window when she just sat there with her mouth open waiting for you to feed her (I resisted for 2 weeks!) She’s never so much as put a toy in her mouth!

 

[DobbyForever]

Hugs thanks ladies. Deep down I know he’ll but fine but ugh it stresses me out because now I feel like my milestone updates are like if he doesn’t do this by this age tell the doctor and he’s getting older and it freaks me out

Then I’m stressed about court I misunderstood the cps person and now I won’t have their report in for court and I might not get his records in time and i’m worried without it I can’t prove he is still abusivd towards A and he’ll get unsupervised visits
