Moms of April/May/June 2010 babies thread! :)

[Sarahwoo]

Jinx Amy!

I am sure my room will beat yours - it's like something of one of those TV shows about horders BUT it's not full of crap, which makes it harder because I can't just hire a skip I went down there to get something earlier and there had been a 'landslide' so I could hardly see the floor I WILL get it sorted

Poor babies been called bitches Whats wrong with some people?!

 

[L-C]

Amy - omg that is mad, poor little things!

I'd be equally happy either way but definitely prefer the girl theory to twins.

Has modo been on recently??

Sarah, what colour did you end up chosing?

I'm so tired tonight, I'm going to force food down and go to bed. we sold our sofa so luckily bed is the best option, which really does suit at the minute.

Hope you've all had a good day xxx

 

[A3my]

sarah - I dont think all my hoarded stuff is junk either but Kerry says its all crap you'll have to show us a picture of your dresser when you paint it oops about the landslide

LC - will you have a 12 week scan? are you getting a new sofa?

No work today I had Emily home today as she has a 2 week half term. we went for a nice walk and had hot chocolate at a village pub. Bless Alex, he gets so frustrated when he cant tell me what he wants, he doesnt have a tantrum he just does a huge sigh and lies face down on the floor

 

[Sarahwoo]

Evening!

Amy a walk and a hot chocolate sounds gorgeous! I'm tempted to do that with Oliver tomorrow now I will def take piccies when the dresser is done Might be a while though . . . . Steve decided he'd make a start on it last night and then changed his mind when he realised how much stuff he'd need to shift

L-C we went for 'mizzle' in the end which is this one . . .

We're going to paint it all except the 'work top' but which we will just oil. I say 'we' but I mean Steve

Not much happening here today, but brrrr it's been cold!! We had to stay in for a parcel to be delivered, and it didn't come until about 3pm. Oliver went to bed at 8pm and I got everything ready for Saturdays wedding. I was planning to get my emails up to date and sort some admin out tonight but my email server has gone down so I'll have to do it tomorrow instead

My parents came back from holiday today, they were only in Jersey which is a 45 min flight, but they had a six and a half hour delay

 

[emera35]

Amy - That sounds so cute, Alex just sighing and lying on the floor! Roh does the lying face down on the floor too, sometimes accompanied with tantruming, but often just in a sort of silent protest fashion, always makes me giggle, especially if we are out.

LC - Doubt i'd cope without a sofa! But i must admit, bed is my favourite spot these days too

Sarah - Its been really cold here too, although it was sunny, and so in the sun it was quite nice! 6.5 hours delay on a 45 minute flight is dreadful! Glad your folks made it home eventually!


Well, been really busy today! Not sure doing what but i haven't really stopped! Alot of just running about after Roh, and my FIL was here too, so OH and he were doing stuff alongside what i was doing, it seemed to get quite logistically difficult! Went through Roh's toys and took out all the ones he's getting a bit old for, and doesn't play with anymore, got out a few that i packed away when we got them as i think they are more suitable now. Rearranged the living room a bit too Also got a load of newspaper and towels etc ready for tomorrow as we'll do some fingerpainting. I'm looking after my friend's little girl, so i want to do an activity with them before my mum arrives to keep them occupied! Mum is coming for the night tomorrow, which should be nice, although we are kinda stuck in the house as OH ordered himself a new computer today, which comes tomorrow Don't think he thought throught what he was doing forcing me to stay in all day with my mum 2 toddlers and a dog Hopefully it arrives early


Posting really late tonight as... i've actually been out, to the actual pub!!! It was a friend's birthday, and happened to be on a night OH was home, so yay, got to go along. Its nice to get out sometimes, i probably should do it a few more times before i'm back to the breastfeeding again and can't do it. I even had a half of Guinness, i didn't feel guilty, its full of goodness, right?

Right, i also just remembered i'm actually wearing actual make up too, better go take it off before i wreck my pillowcase!

 

[modo]

Bobby still sleeping crap.

 

[Sarahwoo]

Emera I hope you have fun with the finger painting! It sounds fun . . . and slightly crazy with two toddlers I hope the computer is delivered early so you can get out and about YAY for the Guinness! I had a half when I was pregnant too, it really is so full of goodness Mmmmmm Guinness . . . . . Guinness Cake . . . . mmmmmm!

Modo I'm sorry to hear Bobby's sleeping isn't great

Maybe HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

 

[hope&faith09]

Hey all -

Sorry for being MIA - I havent been feeling very well and just feel very down in the dumps - a number of people I know have found out they are pregnant and I have just been feeling all over the place after the mc's.

Sorry for not posting properly hopefully I will be back to my normal self soon!

x x x x

 

[L-C]

to H&F and Modo - I hope Bobby's sleeping settles down again soon. He can do it, so he will again xxxx

mmmmmm Amy hot chocolate sounds lush, I'm wearing all my clothes and a massive work fleece tonight it's so chilly. not sure I'm brave enough to take them off to get into bed so might be wearing it all until next summer!! Will is also very furstrated with the whole, hardly any words thing. he has started saying please, but as he does it he puts his fore finger across his top lip. very very cute but no idea where has got it from.

Sarah that colour looks really lovely and very similar to the colour we have gone for in our kitchen!

Emera - a real pub sounds lovely, sounds like fun. Good luck with the painting tomorrow you are much braver than me!

Well the sofa arrives tomorrow - yippeee although that means I might have to stay up and be sociable, or maybe not lol.

We are taking Will to a local carnival tomorrow night, which should be fun, although might mean later to bed. Hopefully one night shouldn't hurt x

 

[Sarahwoo]

L-C YAY for your new sofa!! What is it like? Our new chair doesn't arrive until mid - late November and I'm all excited about it already

You've all got me wanting hot chocolate again, I might have to go and make one in a min Mmmm I think I have cream and marshmellows too . . . .

We had a nice day, a quiet morning and then my parents came up so we went shopping and to Wetherspoons for lunch Oliver didn't nap all day so he was SO tired by 6pm, he was fast asleep by 6.30pm! Fingers crossed for a good night!

I'm trying to decide it I should buy a new coffee table . . . . this is it:
https://mto.lauraashley.com/upholst...nets/detail-range/3487351/garrat-coffee-table
We have to re-jig the lounge to fit the new chair in and this would look lovely . . . . I'm kind of worried about Oliver just emptying all the drawers though so we might have to leave them all empty I have had the Laura Ashley website open for about four hours now with it in my basket

Right . . . . I'm off to make Hot Chocolate!!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Ooohhhh I just remembered Derren Brown is on TV today!!

I think I'll watch that and do my accounts

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah - mmmm hot chocolate. may have to make myself one......

amy - how's work treating you?

h&f - mc's are emotionally draining.

modo - hope bobby starts sleeping better

LC - the carnival sounds like fun. hooray for the new sofa! we need new ones but have decided to wait another 2 years as they are taking a bashing with the 3 kids! they are looking tatty though to say the least!

emera - your day sounds exhausting! hope you have fun with the finger painting etc!

well today was my 34th bday danny pretended he'd forgotten yesterday but he had actually bought me a swarowski (sp?) necklace and earrings. they are really nice. they have stars on them and are all sparkly. it's not at all what i'd have chosen but it looks lovely on we had tea at my house. my mum ordered a cake and i took cupcakes to work so i have been a fat piggy! LOL! danny is at work 10pm - 6am so we're going to celebrate getting a chinese tomorrow and watching the xfactor. we let dylan and erin stay up to watch it as a treat if they've been good.

 

[Mork]

Awww sounds lovely maybe - and many happy returns! xx

 

[maybebaby3]

thanks

 

[Sarahwoo]

I'm glad you had a good Birthday Maybe! I hope you had a nice day today too I can't watch X Factor, I can manage about five minutes and then it just starts annoying me and I have to turn it off

I had a wedding today which went really well, and then Oliver and I went to an antiques centre / heritage centre not too far from my parents house. Steve and I went their the other day (with Oliver) and noticed a really nice looking Espresso maker. Steve is really into his coffee and he was telling his friend at work about it and they decided it could be a good one, so I went back to have a look. I hadn't got a clue what I was buying but I paid forty pounds for it and it turns out its one of these:
https://www.coffeeitalia.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=f-elektra
Its pretty dirty and needs a really good clean, and a couple of replacement parts, but fingers crossed its all fixable. Steve was absolutely over the moon with it. It'll look sooo nice in the kitchen when its fixed / cleaned So I've had a night 'off' and spent a few hours trying to find out where to buy the spare parts from etc. I'm so tempted to go and get the brasso out on it before I go to bed

 

[Mork]

I left T with my parents today for an hour and she bawled and was very very upset - they were about to call me to come get her when they found that if they opened the front door so she could look for me to come back that she calmed down - she was calm when i arrived and gave me the biggest smile and wave However I am suffering now as she has woken several times and i can only think it is to check i am still here!
Hope you are all having a good weekend - the coffee maker sounds fab sarahwoo!

[emera35]

Mork - Roh is the same, when OH or I go off to work he gets very upset, but if you sit him by the window next to the steps down, and say that Daddy/Mummy is at work, but when they come back you can see them coming here, then he calms down. He'll go and check at the window periodically throughout the day.

Sarah - Good buy on the coffee machine.

Maybe- Your birthday gift sounds lovely


Ergh, i've been ill today, i've had horrible stomach cramps which woke me up last night, and all day today Really painful. Last time this happened when i was pregnant, it caused my premature labour Really hoping they don't get any worse. The second they do i'm taking myself off to a&e, or delivery suite if its in a weeks time. Crazy stuff, the cut off to go to delivery suite rather than a&e is only a week off Anyway, generally feeling crappy and worried. Baby is clearly fine though, moving about plenty. Roh has been really good today, he got a bit obsessed with putting on trousers this morning and made me put 4 pairs on him one ontop of the other He's also started sitting at his little table and chairs without me putting him there, and then demands crayons and paper by pointing at them. Very cute

 

[maybebaby3]

emera - hope the cramps subside soon! any cramping in pregnancy is super scary!

sarah - the coffee maker sounds fab!

mork - poor T! if it's any consolation Owen cried for about a week every time i left to go to work and his sleep deteriorated too. now he waves at me from the window and is back to waking 2-3 times instead of 7-10!

well dan is supposed to have a few days leave the week after next (half term here) and we're thinking about taking the kids to disneyland paris for 3 nights. it'll cost about £1000 in flights and £700 accomodation but should be good. we have to wait til he gets his leave confirmed next week though! getting excited about the possibility though!!!

i have a super dodgy tummy. every time it seems to go back to normal it goes horrid again. may have to go to dr! erin is the same so we'll both have to take a trip i think!

 

[emera35]

Well, had to get assessed at the hospital today, i have severe gastritis, which is causing me absolute agony! OH has stayed home to look after Roh, and me. I feel dreadful though Was a nightmare in the waiting room at the hospital, it was really hot there, i ended up being sick and fainting Quite embarrassing The doctor i saw was fab though and was really thorough, checked everything. Was good to confirm it wasn't anything baby related, and hear a good strong heartbeat!
There was actually a point this morning when i decided that these cramps were more painful than being in labour. I've been given gaviscon and paracetamol

Bleh, sorry to moan, hope everyone is well

 

[Sarahwoo]

Gosh Emera you poor thing! It sounds absolutely awful! I'm so glad baby is doing well, fingers crossed you"l be feeling better soon
