So, last night DH asked me to iron his shirt and trousers. That's it! I did it and had them hanging for him. Well, he comes in from work and says he has a taxi waiting and then starts asking me where his tie is, all the time running around to get ready. I said I had no idea and he just asked me to get his shirt and trousers ready, not EVERYTHING! That's his responsibility. Took all I had not to yell at him! I told him his suit looked ok without a tie (he has a black suit with thin blue pinstripes and was wearing a black shirt, so yeah, it did). He wanted to wear this minging purple striped tie and I told him no. I've seen people come to interviews in bloody sweatpants and uggs over here for pity sake! He looked nice! After the whirlwind change he was out the door. I honestly feel like crying again though cause he was so short with me asking me where everything was! I told him last night to get everything ready! I'm not a bloody maid!

Lottie woke me up last night with her trumpy bum!

 

[pinkclaire]

Aww Ozzie don't take it personally he's just nervous about his interview and stressed trying to get there! Before now we've gone swimming and my DH has gone 'where's my towel?' like im his maid to get it ready cheeky sod, I have already sorted myself and James out he can get a towel himself lol.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Yeah, I know he's nervous and in a rush, but still! I'm not a maid or a personal dresser! I don't know where everything is that belongs to him I'm just a hormonal mess right now. I don't know if he had bad dreams last night, but it's like I'm more nervous than he is about this job.

I'm also struggling with the whole moving back to California. I love my family, but we're getting financially stable now and I'm scared once we move back we'll just have to start all over again and struggle again! DH really wants to go and a part of me does too, but I don't know! I shouldn't think of these things while I'm pregnant. It's just bad

 

[pinkclaire]

I know Ozzie but there's something about being pregnant that makes you analyse every part of your life! You'll just have to see how things go, no point making decisions right now! It's hard when you have kids to think of, it changes what risks you want to take.

I agree with pink let Alex come first and get settled then decide! Always best to get saving as well (coming from the worse person who can't save anything actually I can it's my OH who has the problem now) Ozzie try and chill out only think about each day as it comes we don't want you getting stressed out before Alex comes!

Been for a walk just around our park so caden got to play and ride his bike! Caleb decided he wanted his feed early so had to feed him there then we came home as it looked like it could rain but hasnt,bloody clouds!

apologies in advance have forgotten alot of what I have read.

Gilz glad the reflux seems to be improving, albeit only to be replaced by snotty nose

Ozzie - fingers crossed for your DHs job You can prepare to move to CA without committing completely, just take it a day at a time. It is amazing how small your world becomes when you have a baby! (but only temporarily...) You may not feel in a rush to go anywhere. And California is economically in deeeep poo poo at the moment!

PB - glad Indigos little nose is improving. Hope your innards are heading inwards again too

Been to NCT 'early days' group. Have met some lovely ladies virtually on my doorstep so am very happy Ands such adorable too. Of course Dylan was the teenies, even smaller than the premmies (although they are a bit older). Found another mum who is as baby weight obsessed as me. I feel more normal now!

Tackled the mothercare sale afterwards and left a few quid lighter Also got a mirror for the car so I can see him when driver. Loving it although not sure I have put it on correctly, appears to be hanging at a jaunty angle. Hey, thats what OH is for - he can look at it later.

Managed to get up this morning without bucketful of painkillers. Back pain appears to be thankfully on the mend. Phew, near miss. Have well and truely learnt my lesson.

 

[molly85]

oh ozzie I am fully aware of how dim my OH so would have had the full outfit including socks and boxers waiting for him. gives me cause to screamblue murder at him when i ask him to do something lol

Gah we tried to claim for abby on our health insurance and guess what the claims gone missing including one of her birth certificates. I said to matt we should send it special. I am really annoyed we have been waiting for the cash as £600 was garunteed. he's also driven me nuts cuddling abby but can't do anything like make a cup of tea or put her down she had been awake over 4 hours and was obviously over tierd so i said put her down and let her scream if she did as she is over tierd he has just sat ther in half darkness holding her for2 hours. he said he would follow my parenting instructions.

 

[gilz82]

Oh loopy I have one of those car mirror thingies I love love love it. It's far better than faffing about switching off the airbags so Noah can go in the front.

Molly do you reckon Abbys birth certificate is lost for sure, could it not just be the post being crap or the insurance company dragging their feet?

 

[molly85]

it was a copy we had a few done when we registered but bloody annoying. they claim they have issues with the post office I am not so sure but the next claim will be going special delivery and i will be putting in a note to request repayment. they are also saying we should complain about the royal mail. my smallbrain does not see how there is a problem being as matt family have all worked for royal mail and it seems odd a business not recieving mail as they pay for special deliveries and collections

 

[loopylollipop]

One of my elderly neighbours has just come round to say my car is bumper to bumper with hers. it appears i havent put the handbrake on enough and it has rolled into hers. there is a slight scuff on hers. bugger. OH gonna kill me! Its only the seond day i have been driving his (his is estate and is easier with pram, car seat etc).oooooooooops

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Thanks Loopy! We have a pretty good support system there and the job I would qualify for (preschool teacher) is high in demand.

LO has been very quiet today....I'm kinda worried, but I'm not really sure I want to phone yet. Going to try a cold drink and laying on my side for a bit first.

DH should be finished with his interview about now. I hope it all went well!

 

[gilz82]

Loopy if it's just a scuff it should come out with t-cut. Is it on the plastic part or the paint part of the bumper? Either way it's a couple of tenners to fix, so hopefully no OH freaking will be necessary

 

[molly85]

lol i use my mini car i managed to make a mess of hub cap yesterday whoops

 

[loopylollipop]

I think it was the plastic part of the bumper. didnt want to mention t-cut as she was worried about it!

i will send him around to have a look at it. He will be fine, after I have received the impending lecture..

 

[loopylollipop]

lol Molly I am always kerbing it and scuffing hubcaps!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Argh! Little poo!!!! As soon as I wrote that I was worried he wasn't moving, what did the lil stinker do? MOVE!

 

[molly85]

they always do that ozzie or just as you arrive at the hospital

 

[PeanutBean]

Whoops Loopy! Hope you don't get into too much trouble. Our car was bumped on the rear wheel arch while we were packed. Very suspicious but much more so when we saw it had happened again in the last few days in the exact same place only much worse! I am 90% sure it is the neighbour's not-partner who drives a stupid fat landrover he evidently can't see the front of as it has clearly been bumped when someone was pulling out round us from parked. Waiting for him to be here again so I can inspect his car and see if our paint is on it. There is some silver paint on ours. Going to take photo evidence if I can then threaten him with insurers if he doesn't cover costs of repair. Needs a paint job and beating out.

Some of you might've seen. We've had a nursery issue with Byron being given another child's antibiotics. It's all a bit awful...

 

[gilz82]

Saw on fb Peanut but didn't really know what to say. Just makes me feel even more anxious about leaving Noah in childcare three days a week, although tempered with the fact I know we have no other option and that hopefully mistakes such as the one you experienced today are rare.

Is Byron ok, no ill affects of the antibiotics?
