Sorry have been crap about posting again! Hope you are all doing well

Bobby is taking more steps now

 

[L-C]

Hi

Well mork I'm with you witch got me today....feel fairly calm, would have been very quick again and that seems too lucky. So I am CD1

OMG don't go there on the hair front, do any of you have wild regrowth, from pregnancy loss?? Mine is about 2 inches long now and is so fluffy (all over)(my head!) - it's gross!!!!!!

Will update properly tomorrow, lots of love to you all xxx

 

[A3my]

sarah - i'm with you on that front, I bet I'd feel a lot better if I sorted out my hair!

Mork - your hair sounds really funky! You should post a pic!!

modo - go Bobby - he'll be full time walking soon!

LC - I have regrowth at the front, it looks ridiculous sorry the witch got you, fingers crossed for next month

we went to the beach today, it was glorious down there and the children had a fab time playing with their cousins.

Did anyone watch Marley and Me tonight? I just cant. Holly decided to read her book on it which is an adapted version for children and he still dies and I cried my eyes out reading that bit to her this evening!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy the beach sounds fab! I haven't seen Marley & Me, when it first came out I quite fancied seeing it, but then Steve showed me a picture that someone had put on the Urban Art forum he goes on, someone had sprayed Grafitti over a poster for the movie saying 'The Dog Dies' So after that I knew to avoid it I can't even read 'Guess How Much I Love You' without crying so I'd never be able to read that

L-C I haven't noticed too much re-growth, but my hair is sooooo thick, so maybe thats why? Boo fot the witch!! Fingers crossed for a quick BFP for you

Oliver and I ended up having a very normal day . . . . it has rained all day so our plans were pretty much peed on! We ended up doing lots of playing etc. We are going to go to Toddler group tomorrow, and hope that my friend is there with her little girl. Then after lunch I really need to go to the post office and the bank. I hate going to the post office on a Monday but I've been selling rubbish on ebay again so I need to post it all ASAP. And I need to pay some cheques in. I really hope that it's not raining!!!!

 

[maybebaby3]

amy - i have had marley and me downloaded for ages but not watched it.

sarah - guess how much i love you is a lovely book isnt it! i love books. i am reading Dylan 'Danny the champion of the world' now. he's getting so grown up, though he still likes more picture books still!

LC - sorry the got you

we went to the beach today. it was lovely! we rented a pedal boat and MIL looked after owen whilst we took dylan and erin on it.

i have a crappy sore throat and keep sneezing so think am coming down with something tomorrow i am going to get the depo provera shot as i cant take any more near misses! i hope i dont put on tons of weight with it

 

[Sarahwoo]

OOps Maybe . . . . . now you know what happens

I LOVE Danny Champion of the World!!!!!!! I can't wait to read it to Oliver!!! He loves books now, and he's stopped ripping them up He gets them off the book shelf (I put a selection of his books where he can reach them) and if I'm sat on the sofa he comes and tries to climb on my knee to read, or he climbs on me / grabs my legs etc and point to the sofa! He points a LOT!

 

[A3my]

maybe - urgh poor you, get well soon I hope it goes OK getting the shot. At least you dont have enforced celebacy which is the only form of contraception Kerry trusts now!

sarah - I love guess how much I love you! Alex loves books too, in fact he is obsessed!! He's also a pointer, I love the insight it gives into their world when they point, you can imagine them thinking ooo wow whats that, and look at that and that...and that

Kerry is playing one of his war games on his x box and its REALLY LOUD

 

[modo]

Mork and LC: Sorry the witch got you both

Amy: Thanks hon I have seen Marley and Me twice and sobbed both times in the end!

Sarah: Hope your friend as at toddler group and it all went well

Maybe: I seem to be getting one cold after another. It so annoying Hope you feel better hon Glad you had a great time at the beach


Bobby got his 10th tooth today. It happened during playgroup of course so he really didn't enjoy it today I am pretty sure it's a molar as he has 4 teeth on top, a gap on each side and another two teeth.

 

[emera35]

Modo - Roh has 10 teeth too, i think anyway, its almost impossible to check properly, but he seems to have the 8 front ones and 2 molars one each side on the bottom. I'm pretty sure there is another one coming through on the top at the moment, but since i got the Amber necklace his symptoms have really eased off. Either its coincidence, or its working

Amy - Beach sounds great, i could do with a trip to the beach, maybe we can all jump on the train to Weston on Thursday if the weather is nice OH will likely want to get some gardening and DIY done though
Oh, and Roh is a pointer too, its so cute, i think exactly the same as you!

Sarah - Roh LOVES books too, he still likes to rip them up given the chance, but now i read him a story every night and he sits and looks at the book and seems very interested We like Monkey Puzzle at the moment. Oh and Postman Bear, as Roh has got the hang of lifting the flaps etc. without tearing them

Maybe - Getting a shot might be a good idea, save you panicking if AF is a couple of days late

L-C - Sorry the got you Have you been trying for long? Fingers crossed for this month


Well, i had a horrible day yesterday, i don't know what went wrong really. Roh was being difficult, and seemed intent on breaking as many things as possible I'm pretty sure i'm hormonal now, and on top of feeling pretty emotional about my brother i guess i must have a pretty short fuse Not a good combination really. I ended up really properly shouting at Roh, poor him Of course he burst into tears because Mummy was being scary, but i just carried on shouting. I think i realised i was being irrational, as i plonked him in his cot and went and sat in the garden for 5 minutes to calm down. I did and still do feel terrible I never normally shout at him, just a stern loud "No" sometimes if its needed. I gave him lots of cuddles and said sorry lots afterwards, but that still doesn't make it ok that i lost my temper I think i probably need to get better at walking away a bit earlier, before i blow my top if i carry on feeling like this.

Today has been much better though, i tried out my woven wrap that i've made this morning, its fine actually, and very comfortable. I was too scared to take it off whilst we were out with it, as i was worried i wouldn't be able to tie it back on without the video to follow Roh and i went out for a walk round the village though, which was lovely, and to the post office depot to pick up the parcel of nappy wraps i'd ordered. On the way back we stopped at the grocers and Roh pointed out all the fruit I bought a few cherries which we shared on the way home. Yummy Anyway, i've got to go to work shortly, so i better go sort the washing up before i go, as i doubt OH will do it

 

[Janny Wanny]

boo howdy 1 and all

 

[maybebaby3]

janny - :wave: how are you?

emera - losing your temper is normal. i agree you feel crappy after but i dont think it makes you a bad mum, just makes you human erin has been whining all day long. i was going to buy her some shoes she liked from the monsoon sale but she was behaving so badly i put them back on the shelf. she howled all the way back down town she keeps asking if we can go for them tomorrow i told with the her maybe if she behaves!

modo - well done bobby with the walking! and wow 10 teeth! owen still has the 8 he got at 8 months!!! he seems to be going through the teething now though but none pop out.

am feeling awful, my throat kills the flat is a tip and i have no energy as we've been out since 11am as i needed to go for the depo provera shot, take the kids to the haridresser and do some bits and bobs. i just feel like crawling into bed but as you all know that is not an option at least i made dinner this morning before going out so i dont have to do it now

 

[L-C]

Hi

Emera - we have had a day just like that and I lost my temper, I'm so ashamed of myself, it's happened a few times and I usually shout and then move Will away, so he sits on the floor just in front of me. It's hardly happened but I feel the same. Will has been a nightmare today, just getting into trouble and no just seems to spur him on.....then he has huge paddies.

Emera we have only been trying for two cycles so such earlies days yet.

Modo - we have ten teeth and another two en route which I think is why he's been so upset today, I just can't get in to see the top ones. Such a cute video on fb xx

Amy - I hope the war games didn't go on for too long!

Maybe hope you're feeling better soon.

Seeing as the witch is here, I have a nice cool glass of cider to go with my two baskets of ironing xx

 

[hope&faith09]

Hi all -

Well I am getting on ok.

Emera - I have had the same with Amy I shouted at her completly lost it and had to just walk away I felt awful but I know that sometimes I am going to lose it so I just have to walk away before I do.

Sorry for such a quick post ... had my hen do at the weekend and I drank mainly non-alcholic wine etc but I did have a few sips of champagne but I only had an hours sleep on Saturday night so I am neeing to catch up on sleep! I am also going to see Jo Frost tomorrow to get a book signed!

Right I need to go wash up and pop to the shop!

Hope everyone is ok x x x

 

[Mork]

Hey all,
Just a quick one from me too.
L-C hope we get to be bump buddies very very soon xxx
All the beach trips sounds lovely we went on saturday and for the first time T didnt scream when she got sand on her - in fact she ate it, so i am hoping that this is a breakthrough for good!
H&F-glad you got through the hen night ok
Catch up properly soon xx

 

[emera35]

Thanks girls, makes me feel a bit better to know its not just me who's lost their temper Still, its not really in character for me, i'm pretty laid back most the time. I guess i have alot going on emotionally at the mo, and also these damned hormones!! Guess i'll just have to get used to catching myself before i boil over

Work was fine, i've been lumped with the work experience lad, bless him. He's nice enough i suppose, but it really slows me down having to explain everything i'm doing. At least he seemed happy enough stirring the melting chocolate and butter for 20 minutes i asked him if it was melted and he just mumbled "yeah, you can make cool patterns with the spoon" Space cadet At least he doesn't have an attitude like the girls they have on experience upstairs in the cafe I didn't meet them but they sounded like Vicky Pollard

I have felt sooo sick all day I never had any sickness last time, its rubbish! At least its not related to smells, its just a general all the time feeling. I actually feel very crap today. Ah well, OH just bought me some soup and toast and i'm already in bed, might be time for a movie!

 

[A3my]

emera - dont feel bad, I've never known a Mum that didnt lose her rag once in a while. Just wait till Roh gets older then they scream back at you it sounds to me like you handled it well! you put him in a safe place and walked away to cool off I need to do that when I get into shouting matches with my girls I dread to think what the neighbours think sometimes! Not that it happens often

maybe - how long does the shot last? I hope you got some sort of rest even if you just sat with a cuppa

LC - hope you enjoyed the cider

H&F - hope the hen do went well!

Mork - I didnt know T had an aversion to sand we go to a pebble beach but when the tide goes out its muddy sand. Have you got her a sandpit? Alex has a little one and loves it

modo - sorry you've had a run of colds how are things on the work front?

Janny - hello! :wave:

we spent another afternoon on the beach, the tide was out and all three children had a great time crabbing and shrimping. I cooked tea down there too. Emily saw our dentist this morning and he did a proper job of fixing the tooth, it looks much better than it did and you can hardly tell but he said the filling will discolour with age she cant have a veneer until she's 18. Still cant believe I have to consider that for me 11 year old daughter but I know worse could have happened!

 

[A3my]

Emera - I was so slow I missed your last post. haha, bless the work experience lad! Oh and I bet you're having a girl, I had bad nausea with the girls but nothing with Alex

 

[maybebaby3]

emera - hope the subsides soon. at least it's a sign of a healthy pregnancy!!!

amy - the shot lasts 12 weeks so i dont have to bother about anything til october it is almost 100% effective too so that's good as as much as i would like another baby i definately can't have one now!!!

LC - enjoy the cider!

h&f - did anyone notice you were on the non alcoholic drinks?

mork - hope T gives you a decent night tonight!!!

right well i am off to scavenge some chocolate to make me feel better i'm such a fatty!

 

[emera35]

Oooh Amy i'd love a little girl, mostly because there is something nice about having one of each I won't be unhappy if its a boy though, then Roh will have a brother to fight with

 

[A3my]

Emera - will you find out with this one or wait for the surprise? I'll have to see if my prediction comes true!

I've got Gabriel today and both boys are asleep at the moment so I thought I'd catch up with some coursework but so far all I have done is procrastinate again! haha, I have noooo will power! Hope you're all having lovely days
