ha ha wiggler looks can be deceiving he's got little devil horns just out of that picture shot lolol

I think the laws on bedroom sharing for boys and girls is they can share until the age of 10 years (might be 7 but Im sure its 10), sorry I know thats not what you want to hear!

I have a decent sized house here for me and Joshua, although I do think having a baby here too is going to be a sqeeze. Joshua has the master bedroom and wow its big, but I dont want to put the baby in with him until s/he is sleeping through or at least sleeping mostly through lol Wouldnt be fair on Joshua and I have the box room which just about fits my bed in and at a squeeze the wardrobe sooooo going to have to do some juggling to fit the baby in with me lol I am looking for a bigger house, but I privately rent (so you can imagine how much that is!!!) and going any bigger shoots up the rent by at least £100 a month and as I dont get any HB or CTB it would really make things tight and inaffordable Plus Im so ideally located here for school and town and friends and the park.... My next door neightbours just moved out, there's is a 3 bed, Im keen to get hold of their landlord and see about moving in next door lolol

Our flat is very close to a post office and a local shop, the park and the primary school and OH's work so as much as we want to move to get more space, wherever we move to wont be a great location like this.

we have come up with a solution to the bath problem (we havea wet room) we have a super big baby bath which Dylan should fit in til he is 3, then hopefully move him onto the shower, if he doesnt like the shower then we are going to get a inflatable paddling pool for the bathroom! lol

I'm going to try not to worry too much about the spacing issues because whatever happens we wont be here forever, one day we will be in a lovely house, with a bath!

makes no odds to me, our rooms are tiny, my room doesnt have room for a cot, second bedroom has bunkbeds and cant fit ne thing else in, and box room is seriously a shoe box, cant fit another child in there, it wont even fit a single bed, just get junior bed in lol the option was to put triple bunk in girls room and move sienna in with them but theirs doubts now as to wether a triple bunk would even fit. . we had huge bedrooms in last house but the area was poxy. love it here tho

 

[wild2011]

[24/7]

Had a horrible midwife appointment today, see here, copied from journal....

Well all my horrible hospital fear came true today, the woman I saw was just awful!!

Her complete ignorance re my coeliac disease started her on a very bad foot, and despite me explaining, she has it down as a dietary choice?! When it is very much not that, it is as serious as follow the diet or die from the complications. She then moved on to my weight, which has always been low, I don't absorb food properly due to my health problems, however this is not correct according to her, I'm not eating properly, as if I was I wouldn't have lost weight during pregnancy, your meant to put it on, well duh, but not when you feel too poorly to eat. No blood would come out of either arm as I'm not drinking enough?! So I now have to go back to try again.

The breast feeding obviously came up, and I was honest and said I'm feeling under alot of pressure so haven't made my final decision yet - Her reply - This hospital only supports BF, there aren't alternatives, have a DVD and a leaflet, and you must now come to our BF evening so you want to BF?! Er no thank you!!

She then questoned whether OH was actually the father of beanie, which obviously he is?! Then asked when I last took the pill, which I never have, which she deemed very odd, and then asked when in my pregnancy I actually stopped taking it?! Completely missing the point that we were actually TTC, it wasn't an accident!!

So she has now classsed my pregnancy as high risk due to the coeliac, and my weight, but said I can't see a consultant as she wants me to wait until 16 weeks?!

I asked her if I am ok to have the flu jab tomorrow, and she said hmm, well if you want to be ill, then I guess have it? As she had side affects, grrr!!

I'm sure there were more things, but I'm boiling over and can't think of it all at the moment!!

And to top it off, I just burnt my toast, which was the last two slices of bread!! RANT OVER!! xx

But on the plus have my 20 week scan booked for 22nd December, so if we don't have a private scan we will definately know the sex by christmas!! xxxx

 

[Wiggler]

omg 24/7 your MW sounds like a class A bitch! What a rude and ignorant woman! Maybe you can request a different midwife?

Great news about your scan date though! right before xmas, its going to be a wonderful Xmas pressie for you and hubby

(((HUGS))) xxxxxxx

 

[MikieC]

OMG! I would ask to see a different midwife cos she sounds like a right cow! If she deemed you are high risk then you should be able to see your consultant ASAP! I am high risk too and I saw my consultant within 5 days of seeing my midwife and he couldn't have been more reassuring.

I hope you get on better next time!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I agree, 24/7, request a different midwife. My hormones would have beat the crap out of her, lol.

Ahhhhh, ladies, I'm so glad it's the weekend. This week alone, I finished an assignment worth 50% of my grade on modifying a specific behaviour, which included tracking, charting, and implementing a technique to change an undesirable behaviour (my son's sleeping habits), and wrote 3 final exams, all worth at least 45% of my grade. It's been a hectic, stressful week, especially with my laptop breaking. I ended up losing some of my notes from the beginning of the year, thankfully I have them backed up.

But this weekend? I'm looking forward to it. Tonight, I'm going to buy myself a new laptop because we start taking notes in class again on Monday, and we get new students, and I'll be finishing my unpacking and cleaning of my house. I have a kidless weekend (I miss my kids) but at least I can finally get things done, lol.

Anyone else have plans for the weekend?

 

[Wiggler]

I think a large part of tomorrow will be "Daddy and Dylan" day, so i can get some rest! Dylan refused his nap today and has been a grumpy little man. We are also moving the bedroom round so we have room for a cot and moses basket (i love preparing waaay in advance) and just a general tidy up of the flat.
Tomorrow morning we might take a walk down to OH's work to pick up a few books with paint colours (we are painting DS's room pale blue if this baby is a boy, yellow if its a girl as they will be sharing, also want to get idea's for the rest of the flat)

But most importantly, tomorrow and sunday, i will get a lay in! woop woop!

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[wild2011]

a quiet one for me, got decorating to do during half term week after next so going to take it easy this wkend. off food shopping with my friend wen she finishes work so dh can watch the kids. skint at the mo, so not taking them is a huge relief to my pocket haha. feeling sick as old boots tho, went out for the day with kids doing some crimbo shopping for grandparents n spent a good half hour heaving in boots toilets sure people thought i was sat on throne lol, feeling cold again and ready for bed. already dreading unpacking the shopping wen i get home

 

[lisaf]

Wiggler - I remember being very upset and sad when my brother moved to his own room. I was maybe 6 or younger which means he was about 9 or so. So even though you remember hating it, its not always a bad thing for a kid. I had trouble sleeping in my own room when it was just me, it was so cold and empty and lonely that I slept on a sleeping bag on the floor of my parent's room for at least a year. My room was big though... plenty of space to share so that might have made the difference to it being a good thing to me when I shared.

Make the shower thing a 'big boy' thing and that usually gets them excited enough about it!

24/7 - change midwifes now!! Thats horrible and actually quite scary that she is so inattentive to what you are saying that she kept thinking you'd been on the pill! I can see her not knowing or understanding celiac stuff, but she should have then done some research on it, not just made assumptions. I think you need a new person just for the pill confusion... she is NOT paying attention to you and that can get dangerous!
I do have a friend who has struggled with eating disorders... she lies all the time about 'allergies' to food and eats crazy restrictive things ... so instead of being anorexic, she just looks like someone who has allergies and can't eat most foods, but its really her way of keeping the weight off... and I know it was all lies because she ate those foods when she was pregnant. SO, I'm not saying thats what you are doing, but it might possibly explain her reaction to your mention fo celiacs... that there are girls who do this and since you are underweight, she thinks you might be doing that.


AFM - my sickness just gets worse and worse... the cat food got to me this morning and it wasn't even fishy stuff! I thought I had my gagging under control, turned around to serve the cats and get that smell away from me.. and ended up throwing up on the floor And I finished throwing up in the sink, but the heaving is just getting more violent and kind of hurts... I always end up with tears running down my face when I'm done (on the bright side, my eyelashes look super pretty when they're all wet from tears )
Having totally MESSED UP scary dreams too... not liking it at all!!!

 

[meow951]

New ladies added, congrats! x

I am struggling to find a car. I hate living in Cornwall sometimes as there's not a lot around!

My sickness is horrible today, i think it might be to do with the fact i'm so stressed! So looking forward to the 25th as its my dating scan and i'm on holiday off work for a week!

24/7- Definately change midwifes! I would not want her supporting me through my labour if she treated me like that! Plus she doesn't really seem to know what she's talking about.

 

[luckyme225]

24/7- definitely need to get a new provider. Sorry she was so horrible.

 

[Wiggler]

I have decided my OH is amazing! he just got me bacon, eggs, lemon squash AND a pack of twiglets!!! so tomorrow i am having a bacon and egg salad sarnie, leman to drink and if i get peckish, twiglets! bless him.

Dylan is finally asleep. he has a cold, poor thing. and no matter how much i try to keep him warm he kept ripping his trousers off! I'm going to make him some yummy pasta tomorrow, its his favourite food, and i'll share my twiglets with him if he wants some

xxxxxx

 

[hopefulmama]

My symptoms come and go, the only very prevalent one is my keen sense of smell which makes it hard to walk around NYC because this is not the cleanest city & there's always bizarre scents. My breast soreness is still here but its primarily my nipples. My sickness has gotten better because I try to eat something before I sleep which helps...

 

[Wiggler]

My boobs arent as sore now, although my sense of smell is still very sensitive.

I have no self control, my poor pack of twiglets is now empty. It was so worth it though
