Lucky thread

Lol no Amy it's actually a phrase we have over here to describe slightly flabby arms that need toning.....they are called bingo wings coz usually it's older ladies who have them that go to play bingo lol! And my arms are definitely a little flabby, the muscle could definitely do with some toning (along with every other muscle in my body haha!!)
 
Haha bingo wings.....my upper arms are my most hated part of my body!

Urgh work, how long til I finish....... :(
 
Do mean how many hours til you finish today cupcake or how many weeks til your finish for mat leave lol!
Do I remember you saying that you wouldn't be going back to this job after baby? I know you don't like working there.
 
A bit of both tbh Bailey! I count down the hours everyday and will be in Mat leave countdown once I decide when I'm going!

Yes I hate working here. I only want to work 3 days when I go back and my company are really inflexible so don't think ill be able to come back anyway so that will probably make my decision for me!

How are you today? Did you have a talk with df? X
 
Yeah I had a chat with him, I asked him if he understood why it was bothering me and he said "coz you never get to see me" and I said "no I'm not bothered about that!!" Lol, sounds so nice of me doesn't it haha! So I was right, he didn't get why I was upset. So I explained (again!) that it was because he just thinks he can swan off and do whatever he wants and yet here I am unable to go to the loo at times coz I'm too busy with OUR daughter. So he said that I could go out and leave her with him if I wanted (I mentioned the idea of swimming) but I pointed out that its kinda difficult to find the time when he is always going to the gym whenever he's not at work! He agreed that we need to make time for me to be able to do some things too instead of him just assuming that he can go out whenever he feels like it.

I'm the same as you with returning to my job. If they aren't flexible I'll have no choice.
 
Did you mention as well that it might be nice for him to want to come home on his break and spend some time with his baby daughter? I think I'd be as upset about that as her babyhood will fly by and if he's not careful, he'll miss it!

Well I've wanted to leave for about 4 years but I've been to lazy! If I have no choice then they'll be doing me a favour!
 
Oh yeah I said that to him, I also mentioned the BBQ and how he spent all his time with his nephews and nieces and basically left his own daughter with me. I asked him if he found her boring lol and warned him that if he wasn't careful he wouldn't develop much if a bond with her if it was always me that tended to her even when he is around, coz she already has plenty of time with me when he isn't around.

I feel kinda like that too with my job. I don't want to go back there and if they aren't flexible it will force me to find something else but I know if they are flexible I will end up back there. The thing is after working there for almost 2 years I know that they may well be flexible at first if it suits them but then further down the line they can start to be awkward. A work colleague of mine had her shifts changed and had no choice in it and it caused loads if problems with child care.
 
Yeah my work tend to be like that to, they let you come back on the basis that you want and then 'business needs' change and you get forced to increase your hours!


What did he say when you said that to him? X
 
Well he said that he thought she was asleep whilst he was playing with the twins and just mumbled about bonding with her. I basically said he shouldn't just assume that she's asleep though and should maybe he should actually check on her. I do worry that if something happened to me he'd be completely lost!!! I think it's about time he had some time on his own with her so he can realise how much attention he needs to pay to her, not for my benefit but for his and hers too. They need to get to know each other more.

And yeah I love that phrase "business needs", they have every right to change anyone's hours coz it's in our contracts but why bother taking anybody on/back after maternity when they clearly tell you that they can only work certain days and times.
 
Cupcake and Bailey, I hope you get what you need with work, and that sounds like to not go back!

Cupcake, how is your back? How are you feeling? How is baby boy cupcake? Are they going to be able to get you a new chair at work?

Bailey. Sorry DF isn't showing as much interest in Millie as you would like. I think part of it just might be that daddies are different then mamas, at least in this early stage. I could stare at her for hours, even if she is asleep, DH doesn't seem to be that way at all. He's mentioned he can't wait for her to play... And I just love this snuggle baby stage, even if it can be hard!

Hi MrsD and anyone else lurking! Hope you are well!

Emily is still congested but has been keeping her temp under the guideline the pediatrician gave us. I just want her all better, it's been 3 weeks! We think she might actually have allergies along with whatever virus she had.

She managed to get me sick, or perhaps it was the trips to the Dr. I am hoping I can avoid going to the dr myself but dunno if I will as I am prone to colds turning into sinus infections or bronchitis.

On a brighter note, Emily did three clever things in the last day....

1. She just slept through the night, for 9 hours!!!
2. She slept without a swaddle for the first time for an hour nap yesterday AND she put herself to sleep for the same nap (with minimal crying!)
3. She has started playing with toys and she actually was holding the toy an brought it to her mouth yesterday to suck on it!

Such a clever baby!
 
Aw wow well done Emily!!! She's growing up so fast! Wow to the 9 hours sleeping that's fab Amy! Funny you should say about your dh saying she can't wait til Emily can play, coz my df said he can't wait til Emilia can talk lol! Clearly they just don't find as much interest in just looking at the little miracles we created like we do!

Hi Shellie I see you lurking hope you are well!
 
Bailey, I can totally wait for Emily to talk. I might be wrong but I have a feeling she's going to be a spit fire!
 
Lol I bet Emilia is too, think she'll take after her mummy and be very opinionated haha!
 
Your bubbas are all growing so fast, they will be crawling before you know it and then there will be no stopping them xxx
 
I know and then we'll be in trouble lol! At least at the mo I can still do stuff and know she's still in her basket or chair haha!
 
Lol, when I go to the grocery store with her we get home and park in our garage and then I bring her into the house in her car seat and set her in the family room while I unload the car, I can watch her as I go back and forth by her... Just the other day I was wondering how I'm going to pull it off when she's mobile! ( if I am lucky enough to still be home with her on weekdays when DH is at work.)
 
Aw well done Emily on the sleeping!! I bet you felt amazing this morning Amy! Sorry you might be getting sick tho, hopefully you fight it off am quicker than Emily did x

Where is Cheryl last few days?

I have to go out to a work do tonight (bowling lol), not sure how ill manage that considering I look like I'm smuggling a bowling ball myself at the moment, and again tomorrow night, it's actually gonna kill me 2 nights out in a row!!
 
Don't tire yourself out cupcake!! I can't imagine managing to bowl whilst preggo lol!
 
I hope you have a good time cupcake and you can always use the old lady ramp ;) xxx
