Lucky thread

It makes me realise how often you have nice weather down south lol!

No I've not written anything yet lol!! I've got my idea and plan I just need to get started and then I'm sure it will come easily.
 
Hey ladies how u doin? You will never guess wots happened me and dh just had sex and forgot we needed a condom I'm so worried cos ur supposed to be very fertile after a baby. Hubby's said I need to pee on a OPK to see if I'm ovulating lol..x
 
Oops Cheryl! Lets hope it isn't your fertile days! I'm really paranoid about that now, so much so that I've only been able to bring myself to dtd once since she was born!
 
Can u believe tht?? It was just yest I was saying yeah need to use a condom and we both forgot he said if I'm ovulating he's going for the morning after pill... I mean its weird how u forget about these things... How are u both doin? Any plans this wkend?x
 
Tht was our first time my lady garden feels like its been battered its been tht long lol.. Sorry for the detail lol. X
 
Hahaha sorry, just the way you phrased that made me lol Cheryl! We dtd for the first time around a month after she was born too, but I didn't enjoy it much probably coz I kept saying "don't forget" to df lol!
Thankfully I'm back on the pill now so might be able to enjoy it from now on!
 
Phew. I'm only worried about getting pregnant again coz of the c section, I'd be paranoid about the scar and uterine rupture.
 
Lol I love that you POAS Cheryl, I don't even have any sticks to pee on in the house now, I gave all my ttc stuff to my friend at work (who is now preggo to! Yey!), a friend for mat leave!!

I have slept since 10pm, this headache better have done one!!
 
Cupcake, hope your headache stays away! Rest up this weekend!

Cheryl, glad you aren't ovulating, what a scare!

Bailey, hope AF isn't too hard on you. I had a very light AF, mainly just spotting, for a week or,so, it just ended. It's unusual to even get a period when BF, guess I am one of,the lucky ones! ;)

I am terrified of getting preggo... Not on anything cause I've never tolerated BC well. DH will eventually get the snip but I don't know,if we are quite ready for that. We are pretty sure we are going to,count our blessings with Emily and be done with just her, mainly due to all the complications I had. We've only Dtd two times between me not being allowed for,quite awhile and then once I was released to,do,it it was so painful and I've been so tired... I know we need to again at some point, I just am so not in the mood.

I work today, gotta be "up" in 2 hours (am up with Emily right now) DH annoyed me in that he had "insomnia" and was up basically all night, kept waking me up even though Emily was sleeping. Maybe its a fluke, and i am sure its not planned that way but he seems to only ever be up when she isnt... drives me mad cause then i dont sleep well because he isnt! when iI got up to nurse her I sent him to bed as he wasn't even trying to sleep... He has to take care of her today and has not the best patience so he needs to not be doing it on virtually no sleep. I am also worried he will fall asleep holding her, if she relaxes for him.. i fall asleep,holding her fairly often but am barely asleep and react to her every move and noise... dh sleeps soundly and the one time i had him take her so I could shower when she was first home from the hospital, it,was really early mornjng and he was up anyhow, he fell asleep and when i came back out he had a blanket on himself that she had slipped down towards so her nose/face was practiclly buried and she was also slipping towards the floor... it,terrified me and is part of the reason i dont ever get dh to,help,at night.

i am really angry and agitated about working. I know I am lucky I only have to,leave her Saturdays, for now, but I hate hate hate leaving her. I couldn't sleep well when I first laid down cause I was so upset/anxious about leaving her... It,sucks. I am hoping it gets better, this is only going to be my 2nd day back, after all. I have off next Saturday as well(they are closed for a holiday) but then work all of them until I go to visit my family end of June.

Sorry, I guess I needed to vent and had more emotions than I realized about leaving her... I know DH will never intentionally hurt her, and I trust him, it's just terrifying leaving her!
,

Emily rolled,over yesterday! She was doing tummy time on the couch and was MAD, I think her anger helped her roll! I think the slight slope of the couch cushion may have helped and it may have been a fluke, but she did it 3 times (from front to back ) and I was soooo proud of,her! She also went in the baby pool at our community pool (its across the street) for the first time! She was mesmerized by the reflection of the sun on the water and seemed to really like it. I am a water lover/swimmer and was sooo happy she seemed to like it, especially as she was having a sensitive day yesterday.

Hope everyone is doing well and has a fab weekend. MrsD, you need to,have some R&R this weekend after being worked so hard the last few!
 
Aw Amy I hope you start to feel better about going to work and leaving Emily. How come dh kept you awake too? That doesn't seem very fair.
Yay for Emily rolling and going in the pool! Emilia seems to hate water (well she hates her bath and screams every morning when I top and tail her).
I can't believe she's rolling already that is amazing! Emilia is doing really well with her head control, she can move her head from one side to the other when she's having tummy time, and she always holds her head up when she's over my shoulder.
Is she still having many night feeds these days?
My AF seems to be very light too Amy, and no pain at all so far.

Cupcake I hope that headache has gone Hun. Did you manage to sleep through? I can definitely say I don't miss the trips to the bathroom through the night!
That's nice that you have a friend for mat leave, it can get a bit lonely lol!

Mrs d did you manage to rearrange your meal? I hope you aren't mega busy again today and you can take it easy!

AFM I am looking forward to watching Eurovision later (yes I am sad, it's one of those things I always watch and have since a teenager lol). Me and my friends used to have Eurovision parties where we all watched it and played drinking games around whenever Terry Wogan insulted anyone haha! I just find Eurovision so funny!
Now who knows if Emilia will have her grumpy hour though and let me watch it lol.

Oh does anyone have any idea how to get wax off a wall? My df must have took a really deep breath before blowing the candles out last night coz he got wax all over the fireplace and the wall!
 
Does Eurovision being on mean the voice is cancelled? Better not be!! Yeah I don't go to the loo every night, I try not to drink too much b4 bed and then go at least twice b4 bed.....I am often lazy tho and I wake up needing it, but ignore it!

Amy yey for Emily rolling over and loving water! Will you go to swimming lessons with her? Hope work goes ok, I bet it's harder leaving her for 1 day than 2 or 3 times a week.

Cheryl will you keep POAS? Remember spermies live for 5 days lol!

Mrs d are you up to much this weekend? Sorry if you said my brain is awful! I forgot to pay our water bill last month and got a red reminder yesterday - oops!! Need to get the DD set up I think!

Can't decide what to do today. Going out in a minute as we have a viewing so don't want to be here then......debating going to ikea and looking at some alternative nursery furniture, as we've seen a good deal on a mamas and papas set at Argos, but we like ikea furniture as its always good quality......need to decide!
 
Yeah the voice isn't on this week cupcake, sorry lol!!

Can I ask you ladies, is this a man thing or just my df? His boss still has not done his rota starting TOMORROW so we have no idea whether he's working tomorrow or not. Now I keep telling him he should say something and make his boss do the rota, and mention to his boss that legally a rota needs to be given 48 hours before they are required to work. Now my df says he's asked his boss but he's still not done the rota. His chef mate has apparently also asked and I know his wife who is just as livid as me, but neither of them seem to be standing up to their boss! I would never allow my boss to do this to me, so is it a man thing or just my df having no backbone??!
 
Yay for Emily rolling over, she'll be crawling before you know it and it sounds like she's a water baby like her mum :) sorry dh kept you awake last night and it's understandable that you feel anxious leaving her, I hope today goes ok for you :hugs:

Cupcake I'm glad your headache has gone and yay for having a viewing, I hope it goes well x

Bailey how long after a c section would you have to wait before falling preggo again?
I'd be pissed off if I didn't know when hubby was working in advance, that's out of order, he and his mate needs to grow a pair and both kick up a fuss.
Enjoy your Eurovision tonight :)

Cheryl whoo that was a close one x

Afm I'm having a Saturday off from DIY, hubby is off down the boat so I'm going shopping yay
 
Ooh shopping yay mrs d!! What you shopping for or is it just anything you fancy?
They recommend you wait at least 18 months before getting pregnant again after a c section. I know that people have got pregnant sooner than that but I'm too much of a worrier to take the risk of purposely getting pregnant any sooner lol. It increases the risk if uterine rupture. So me and df have agreed to wait til Emilia is 2. Plus then gives us time to maybe get a deposit for a mortgage together but with me working part time I doubt we'll even be able to get one!
 
18 months that's quite a long time, but going by my neck scar from last August I can see why. Is there any family that can help you out with the deposit or you can get 100% mortgages if there are family members with equity in their property that can act as guarantor (they don't have to put any money physically down, they just have to guarantee 15% of your purchase price, so that in the event of you not paying your mortgage the bank can recoup the 15% from them) I hope that makes sense :wacko:

Do you know if df is working tomorrow yet?

I've bought some Clarins foundation and some face creams as they had an offer on and a pair of cropped trousers, I'm now off to the farm shop to get some wax discs to put on the top of jams and chutneys (random I know) and a crab for lunch yum xxx
 
No my parents went bankrupt a few years ago so they rent and the rest of my family all live in council housing. I don't think df's parents would do that for us as they didn't help his older brothers in that way, they made them do it themselves.
I've been looking at that first buy scheme but I actually dont think we'd be eligible. Can't remember why I thought that now? But that sounded perfect for us coz we could save about £5-£7k over the next 2 years and get ourselves a £90k mortgage with the government lending us the other 15% of the deposit. But then I'm not sure if anyone would even offer us a mortgage for £90k if I don't go back to work full time, which I don't think I will be. There's no way we could afford the nursery fees for me to go back full time unless I got myself a new job that pays much better than what I was previously on! It's all such a confusing nightmare and just makes me want to rent forever lol!!

Ooh have you been making jams and chutneys? I love chutneys and I love going to those little farm shops and buying all things like that!
 
It's tough to get a mortgage at the moment for first time buyers without any help. The daft thing is once you secure a mortgage your situation can totally change and it doesn't matter as long as you are making the payments. Could family help out with Millie for a while so that you can go back full time for a few months to secure the mortgage then reduce down to part time?

It's worth having a chat to a mortgage broker coz its free, to see what your options are, you might be pleasantly surprised :)

Nope I haven't made any yet, in fact I've still got some from last year, I'm just getting stocked up coz they will have run out when I need them. Hopefully we'll have a good crop of fruit and veg this year so I can make lots of jams, chutneys, juices, pies etc yum
