Hi all -

We are shattered think we have all come down with a cold bug yet again so like L-C i thought what a lovely idea to make valentines day cupcakes with Amy ... as I got the butter out the fridge she sat on the side shouting cheese cheese and rather that helping with the cakes she spent the time demading cheese and trying to put it in the cupcakes!

Our pram bargain was brill the only downside is it is bright pink so when we have our gender scan we can decide if we arekeeping it or going to sell it on! Now I have bought a pink pram I am destined to have a boy!

Hope everyone has a lovely day x x x x

Hi

H&F great you got a bargain, our day has gone from bad to worse. I jumped in the shower, Will insisted on coming in, so I said ok at the end. In the meantime he stood on the toilet and was pulling glass bottles of the glass shelf, he had a massive paddy when I shouted no. So eventually he came in with me and kicked right off as he didn't like. DH popped in from work and was like what's going on!! He has since refused to nap, so I've laid on our bed hoping he'd take the hint but nah. Now having lunch before take two. If he'd slept we would have more time this pm for something nice duh!

Yum Sarah I want buttons now.

Emera, I have eaten so many biscuits, they are lush and Will's not interested so more for me - result.

Just one of those days..............

Fun days!

LC Roh loves biscuits!

We have been having fun, Roh worked out he can get out of bed today Joy, so all the fun of putting him back in over and over again has ensued. Great timing I really could have done with him napping early as I have to take him to my scan and app shortly, but naturally no chance of that! Wish OH could have had the day off to watch him, but again, no chance on Valentines day! Oh well, wish me luck!

 

[L-C]

goog luck with your scan emera, enjoy seeing bumpy xx

 

[emera35]

Was lovely to see bumpy in the scan! She had her hands over her face the whole time She's doing fetal breathing, which is great. Also a great size, spot on, they estimated she's around 6 1/2 lb now, which is perfect. Another confirmation of girlie bits too, as if i needed it after last time! She's also in a perfect position and fully engaged

I was all expecting that they'd sign me off, but no, of course they haven't, because i had +1 glucose in my sample! So now they are asking me to do a 3rd GTT! Its driving me nuts, i really wish they could accept that i don't have GD! Anyway, the consultant actually said that i wouldn't be at any increased risk from birthing at home. But they want to wait for the GTT results before they would let me have the assessment

I'm feeling really miserable. I'm 37 weeks pregnant, and i wish they'd just leave me alone and stop finding trivial reasons to stop me from making plans. This whole thing is stressing me out so much with it being up in the air forever that i'm considering just abandoning the whole thing and having a hospital birth. My thoughts at the moment are to contact my MW tomorrow and ask her whether they would still be willing to do a home assessment if i refused the GTT. I really think that 5 GTTs over 2 pregnancies is enough to confirm i don't have GD, and if they really want a 6th, they are going to have to give me a better reason than a tiny bit of sugary wee once!

Anyway, sorry to rant, i'm just feeling very wound up and strung along All i want is to relax and have a plan!

That sucks emera I hope they finally give you a break!

LC: Sorry about the lack of nap. Bobby didn't have one today either

H&F: great deal on the pram! Hope you get to keep it

 

[Mork]

Oh dear emera, you poor thing - that gtt test is bad enough once let alone 5 times I feel for you. xxxx

 

[Sarahwoo]

Ahhh Emera how frustrating Thats must be SO annoying You have really been up against everything haven't you! How soon could they do a GTT? I think your plan to talk to your midwife is a really good one - have a chat with her and see what she thinks. Maybe they could go ahead with the assessment and everything in the meantime and do the GTT just to shut the hospital up? I'm sure your midwife will understand because its not like you have a lot of time and I'm sure she'd rather not rush the plans either I would say keep thinking 'home birth' until you have had a good chat with your midwife Maybe she could do another test and see if you're still +1? I really feel for you How is Roh?

L-C they were sewing buttons rather than choccy ones I'm soooo sad I hope your day got better

Our day was okay, we went to Ikea as I wanted to buy some pinking shears, they are so expensive yet Ikea sell them for six quid! And they are really good too! Oliver has been lovely again, bless him

We haven't 'done' Valentines this year. Steve hates it We agreed not to do gifts, I bought him a card but he obviously thought 'no gifts' means 'no cards or gifts' I really don't mind though. I've spent the last two hours sat on my own doing paper work though - Steve is off but has PCT around so they are in the kitchen. I think he's going to work soon (PCT - Steve is off). I think Steve would sooner spend his evenings with anyone rather than me. Last night he wasn't feeling well so he just snoozed and then went to bed at the same time as me for the first time literally for months. Tonight I thought we might just have a nice evening together, but obviously not

I think I'm going to try to find some new toddler groups to go to. I'm getting a bit lonely really I have a few friends who I see, and obviously my parents, and I've organised to go to my SIL's on Thursday. I just spend night after night after night sat on my own . . . I know going to toddler groups won't help that but it might cheer me up a bit

 

[Mork]

Aw sarahwoo, sorry you are feeling down hon xxxxxhugsxxx
If its any consolation, i spend most evenings on my own too as dh is working.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[emera35]

Sarah - I'm in the same boat too! Evening after evening on my own, and then when OH is at home, he just wants to chat to his mates online and plays stupid computer games with them At least we can all be sitting around alone together!
I definitely need to go to more groups once bumpy is here, i just don't know enough people really. I'm not sure how easy its going to be with a baby and a toddler though, i think there are some groups set up for both age groups round here.

 

[Mork]

I love that 'sitting around alone altogether' xx

 

[Sarahwoo]

Thanks Mork

Don't get me wrong evenings to myself are mainly great I can get my work done and watch what I want on TV I just wish he actually wanted to spend some time with me PCT has gone now, but its half nine, I'm up at about seven with Oliver, I'll be off to bed in just over an hour He goes to play snooker with his friend most weeks on one of his nights off - one night he said he didn't really feel like it but he'd go because his friend looks forward to it as he spends his evenings alone usually (except the nights when he goes to the casino). So he'll make an effort to spend time with his friend, but I spend at least five evenings a week by myself, six most weeks, but that doesn't matter I really don't have any problem at all with him having friends and going out with them or seeing them, its fine, but once in a while it would be nice to feel like I'm not at the bottom of the pile, like he's only here because he hasn't had a better offer

Argh, sorry for moaning! I'll be okay

 

[emera35]

Ooh Mork you are 20 weeks already! Did you have a scan yet?

 

[Sarahwoo]

Thanks Mork

[Mork]

Emera - scan tomorrow!!!
Aw sarahwoo, do you have any friends who could pop by? xx

 

[emera35]

Sarah, that's exactly what happens here too! I'll eventually crack and say "Argh can we just have an evening together?" OH always looks baffled and says "sure, you only have to ask" Drives me mad! Why do I have to ask? Why isn't he the one asking me??? Makes me feel like he'd rather do anything than us spend the evening together I feel like such a last resort! Ah well, after near to 15 years i should probably just accept that he's useless and it is never actually going to occur to him that he should be doing something differently, even if i rant at him about it every few months Men, bless 'em, they are a bit hopeless!

 

[emera35]

Ooh Mork, tomorrow! How exciting! Are you keeping gender a surprise?


I've found it amazing having scans so late on this time. Today the sonographer was showing me her hair, she has alot of it!!!

 

[emera35]

That's bumpy's hair, not the sonographers!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Ignore my double post - on my phone so I can't delete it

I feel better knowing its not only me Its a good job we have the shed

Wow late scans sound amazing Emera!!! Hope everything goes well tomorrow Mork!!

 

[maybebaby3]

oops spent too much time on the laptop and ended up ordering some books from amazon one for each of the kids and a cupcake one for me, it was about 70% off (well mine was) so that was my excuse!

emera - hope that they get the gtt done and let you get on with your plans!

mork - ooh how exciting a scan!

sarah - hope steve gets his act together.

modo - how are you feeling?

h&f - hope you get to keep your pram, then again shopping for a blue one could be fun :wink:

LC - owen loves running around naked too
