How has the rest of everyone's day been? Df and me are ok, he said he forgot I was at work tomorrow and was going to get up with her then. I've told him in no uncertain terms it was selfish and unfair of him to expect me to get up with her at 5.30am then be on my own all day whilst she's being so fussy with naps and cranky from teething whilst he goes off playing Xbox for 3 hours on his break! He agreed and I told him it works both ways and that when I am going to see Wicked on Halloween I will let him have a lie in that day. I just wish he would try and think more like a member of a family as a whole rather than just doing what's best for him all the time unless I tell him otherwise!

Aaaagghhh Zach has been possessed by the devil himself tonight. I blame the full moon. Worn out mummy. In bed now but not sure how long it'll last.

Mrs d enjoy your quiet evenings while you can.

Ohhh something must be in the air today Bailey, cause I am brewing for a fight with my DH as well. He has decided to come back to the bedroom (been sleeping a nice 8-9 hours on the sofa for the last umpteenth weeks because he can't be tired for work. I get that, that isn't the problem) and has decided to "help" with Maddie the last 2 nights.

This means he has gone in to settle her 2x on 2 nights (out of about 8 wakings where I did the rest). Plus he is a deep sleeper so he sleeps right through my going to settle her, and snores his head off so I can't get back to sleep when I do eventually crawl back into bed. The point being, he has been "suffering" through her wakeups for 2 nights and is SO EXHAUSTED he needed to sleep in this morning and just got up. While I've been up all blinking night, as well as up since 5:40am. Already put the baby down and gotten her up from her first nap, gotten her and Ollie fed, changed, washed etc.

And on top of that I am trying frantically to get my work done (as I have to get a lot done on weekends as I don't have enough time during the week) with a baby on my lap trying to grab the mouse and hit the keyboard as I work. Then he rolls down at 9:50 looking refreshed from his HARDSHIP of two nights of helping with the baby..... and wonders why I am being "short"....Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh........

He is usually a huge help and I don't usually have much to complain about with him, but it just goes to show exactly how out of touch with her night-time shenanigans he is and how men just can't cope with the kind of sleep deprivation that is standard issue for us moms. /rant

Because Mom just does it ALL better! God made woman because he knew man couldn't handle it. He, he...

Oh no hope your morning got better cupcake!

Phew Emilia napped for an hour so i got the ironing done and then I took Emilia and Bailey for a walk for an hour, she's now happily playing in her walker (that she's still not fitting in properly!) whilst I make her a bit of lunch!

How's everyone's Saturday going?

Well kind of boring actually...this evening anyway since i'm not drinking due to my meds and doc's orders cd's 21-28. but that's ok. Was busy today with a hair appointment and final pedi of the season and then went to 3 different pharmacies to price fertility meds for future cycles. Man...that was tiring! Took almost an hour at each one to price 7 different meds/syringes. Good times!

Glad emilia got in a good nap so you could get some things done!

 

[baileybubs]

Wow that sounds like a busy day ttc, hope the pricing up was successful!

Well it's been quiet on here today!

I started off having a good day, enjoyed work, had a good morning with Emilia before I went etc. Then it all went to pot when I dared to try having an hours nap this afternoon whilst df was home. First of all I couldn't get to sleep coz all I could think about was money and moving, then his brother came over (from MILs) and I could hear them talking and couldn't sleep, my fault I'm such a light sleeper lol! But then it went all nice and quiet and I was just drifting off when a herd of elephants came up my stairs (my nephews and nieces) because they wanted to see me (very lovely but I was in my pjs in bed and df knew that!!). So after they went I had a little mention to df not to do that again coz it wasn't very fair he should have just said they couldn't come over coz I was too tired or something. Anyways I asked him if he'd filled Emilia's flask for her feeds - no, sterilised her bottles - no, changed her nappy - no, put her down for a nap - no, given her tea - no. So whilst I had been upstairs attempting to rest he had done nothing and not even put her down for a nap coz his "family wanted to see her". Oh well let's just mess up her routine then shall we then she'll be all cranky from 4.30pm, refuse her tea, cry at everything and be a nightmare to put to sleep!!! But obviously he doesn't cares about that coz that's MY problem as he was back at work wasn't he?? Arse!!

Then my mum phones me for a chat, was trying to have a whinge about it to her and MIL walks in with some cushions for us, again very nice of her but I was trying to talk to my mum and she just stood there for ages making faces at Emilia. I don't mind that she came over (although I will be so glad when we don't have these unannounced visits anymore!) and I'm grateful for all she does and all the random stuff she brings us but I was trying to talk to my mum and felt like I couldn't and that I should hang up or summat!
I can't wait to move house!!!

 

[baileybubs]

Phew I feel so much better for venting that! So, how's everyone else's day been?

Breathe pretty lady!

 

[baileybubs]

Lol I've had a bath and calmed down a bit now! I just hate all these unannounced visits sometimes, especially when I'm tired lol! I love df's family and so glad they seem to like me, I'm just a bit of a private person and I'm not so keen on my nieces and nephews coming up to my bedroom when I'm asleep (it trying to sleep). It could have ben disastrous because sometimes I take a nap naked so I was very lucky I chose to put my pjs on today!!!

I blame df anyway, he's the one who brought them upstairs to wake me up!

 

[baileybubs]

How are you today espero anyway? How's ttc'ing coming along? Have you ovulated yet? Sorry if you have already said I have a terrible memory!

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh bailey please don't say he was playing x box all the time he wasn't do all the things he should have been.....

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw bailey I hope you get to have a relaxing evening xx

I think I need a no visiting on a Sunday rule too. I love just veging in my tracksuit bottoms with no make up on and hair not done on a Sunday (after the rest of the week in suits with hair and make up on) but every week we get visitors, which is lovely but id rather look a bit more presentable

Well my house has never been so clean and decluttered, it's all ready for the estate agents in the morning. Please wish me a speedy sale so that we can get this house we've seen (we've been on the look for about 5 years and its the first thing we've found we like)

I'll be glad to go to work tomorrow for a rest haha

 

[cupcake1981]

I hope you have better luck selling and moving before baby than I did mrs d!!!!

 

[MrsDuck]

I need a bit of Lady Luck

 

[baileybubs]

Youre a peach mrs d!! Yay!

I hope you didnt do too much this weekend mrs d, you are a 2nd tri pregnant lady afterall, I hope your dh isnt forgetting that lol!
I agree Sundays should be relaxing vegging days. But df's brother only ever visits MIL on a sunday with the kids so thats why they come over or get us to go over there. I usually dont mind but today I had already gone to bed. I'm really getting strung out with all this moving stuff and its constantly on my mind what we need to do and money etc so I dont think I'm sleeping properly when I do get chance!

Fingers crossed for a quick sale mrs d!!

No he wasnt playing on xbox cupcake, he was with his brother and had taken Emilia over to MILs to see them all, but he just forgot about any sort of routine for Emilia and the fact that she hadnt had a nap since 1.45pm. I had assumed he was putting her for a nap when I went for my nap!

And to top off my day my bloody iPhone has been restored to factory settings by the stupid iOS update arghhhh!!

Oh and I forgot to tell you all what I did on Friday.....I was about to pull out of our road onto the main road and there were too mant cars coming and I had pulled out a little too far (our road is on an incline up to the main road so you have to go up enough to see whats coming) so I rolled back slightly, not realising the car behind was directly behind me and I bumped her!!! It was only a light touch so no damage, but she was effing and jeffing at me through my rearview, so when I saw she then turned onto the main road same way as me, she turned her headlights on then off again so I thought she was flashing me to pull over. So I did down another road and she just zoomed straight past (thankfully!). Anyways I was reversing and df was whinging at me for being careful etc, and I managed to bump another car that was parked!!! Such an idiot!! But df got out and there was no damage (literally was just a touch anyway not really a bump). I couldnt believe it, I hate driving with passengers lol!!

Sorry I am really rambling today arent I??

Mrs d what time are the estate agents round tomorrow, will you be at home or at work? Whats your new house like?

Cupcake how is Zach today?

 

[baileybubs]

Lots and lots of luck heading your way mrs d!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw bailey you haven't had a good weekend have you?
At least neither of the bumps were anything serious and more thankfully they didn't cost you any repairs. I agree with you about passengers, I drive and park all day every day but when hubby is with me in the car he comments on my technique or my choice of space or something so I just let him drive now, coz it annoys me so much. I bet you can't wait til df passes his test

Nooooo bloody updates, I still haven't done mine, thanks or the heads up. Did you lose much?

Yay for a being a peach, I'm wishing the weeks away, come on 20 weeks, I want to know if it's a boy or a girl

The agents are here at 10am, I'll be here then go to work after they leave. I've photographed the house and offered them my pics and measurements but they said they wanted their own grrrr

The house is similar to ours but detached (ours is semi) and it has a big outbuilding which is perfect for all our rubbish the house does need total modernisation though

 

[baileybubs]

Thankfully I didnt lose anything coz it was all backed up on iTunes, but I've been without my phone for almost an hour whilst its been updating settings and restoring!

Why wouldnt they take your photos? Annoying!

Sounds like a nice house mrs d, would it take much to modernise, dont wanna be doing work on the house with a newborn around lol

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh good, glad you didn't lose anything, but very annoying

Hubby has put my pics onto a DVD so I'll give them to them anyhow. If they would just use them then it would just require a 5 min look around the house tomorrow instead of up to an hour

I know it's not ideal but yup it's a lot of work, kitchen, bathrooms, windows, oh and a wall needs to come down and the garden needs digging up to connect to mains water

 

[Espero]

How are you today espero anyway? How's ttc'ing coming along? Have you ovulated yet? Sorry if you have already said I have a terrible memory!

Good thanks m'dear.

Mrs O sees to be AWOL for the time being but BDing on the offchance anyways...

Totally get what you mean about privacy - and nuddiness! Can't sleep at all well clothed, so that would have been seriously awkward! Safety latch for the door maybe...?

 

[baileybubs]

I lied, I've just had to reinstall half of my apps, but fingers crossed we are now looking like it's all there! Stupid update!!

Aw I hope they are quicker tomorrow for you Hun. My in laws are moving and having to do a lot of work on their new place. Will be weird once we have all moved and we will need to actually arrange to see them rather than them just popping over lol!
