:wave: morning all! Pumped another 1.5 oz and it was still coming when Alex started whinging so he got fed, lol. Monday DH starts at home full time. We arranged to let SIL watch wee man next Saturday so we can go to the cinema I'm nervous already!

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

you see leo has ocd problems with his hands, he doesnt like them getting anything on them. it has taken me ages to get him to eat with his hands - even sandwiches - and to play with playdough, we just made some cakes where he got covered in the mixture but seemed fine but the second you suggest paint he screams lol i think it is because paint can obviously dry on

might do your outside painting idea tomorrow morning, we have a massive beer garden which no one uses until 11am when we open and even then the first people in are the regulars who prop up the bar so outside wont be used until prob 12 arg letter next to g and j isnt working te one tat sould be used for all tese words!!! eek

This day is going from bad to worse. Finally got Byron to sleep so indigo has been screaming from being left. Burnt my lunch attending to her and have just eaten it cold. The cocking washing machine has chewed up my £30 nursing bra so I'll have to fork out for another and in the mean time an left with one bra in this horrible hot weather. Also means the wash is covered in rubber so having to start all over again with it. Had yo send Byron to bed from being so naughty. We've not walked the dog. We've not been to the shops. We've not had a day out. We've not had any fun at all. This is the worst day I've had in a long time.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw pb! that really is an awful day! just one where nothing gets achieved and you walk around with frustration induced chest pains . . . thats most days at the moment

my plan for tomorrow:

buy some batteries for our old camera that leo has adopted
go to the park until it becomes too hot
on the way back to the car take lots of pics of things we can see
go back to the shops and take a slow wonder round the stationery bit and buy some scrap book type stuff
print off said pics
make scrap book page
go back to shop
get stuff to make some homemade pizza
make said homemade pizza

i am hoping that this will keep us occupied on and off until 5pm when kenny comes up for his break

monday will be a completely other story lol

 

[madcatwoman]

afternoon all!!!
nomore,any more contraction feelings lately?

madly, congrats on becoming an auntie hun and i hope the is out of special care soon

peanut,well done on the washing machine front!im sure thats made your day just superbly!!
and as for the rolling peanut and gilz,bailey cant either,he tried early on,it used to make him angrylol, and usually at night time!.

dh has gone to sleep right now,him and his mates are on a big piss up tonight in llandudno,pub and club crawl.some of the wives are going too, but im not really "one of the girls" and that has never been my idea of fun, im much happier in my pj's with bailey watching tv. DH didnt know whether to go at 1st, i actually told him to!!!!!!!!!
he has bought me new shoes today, said i needed some badly! and told me to get some clothes but i was too tired to look lol!.

Nomore my OH is back every second weekend so he's away for 12 days at a time. I think it'd be hard with a well baby but with Noah it's a killer. Every week I hate his job a little bit more. The weather isn't so nice where we are in scotland but it is really clammy it's icky. Just attempted to go for a walk as we've barely been out the past few weeks and even that made Noah sick!

Molly hope you've got lots of cream on at the beach

And Peanut Byron must be quite a lenient parent if you're allowed on the Internet once you've been sent to your room

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

you know what nothing like last night but feel very very af-y i did get this with leo but only a couple of weeks before dd not 4. i would get half a day of more or less regular and increasingly close together contractions and then nothing. with this said i did still go two weeks over with him lol

i would feel a lot more relaxed about it had they signed me off for a section already, i am not worried about going into labour once that is done at all as i know i will just call up and go in as an emergency, i highly doubt that i would go into labour so early especially after going so far over last time lol

madcat i am exactly the same! as long as i dont get dragged along to any of these outings i am fine lol

so impressed, me and leo just made some current cakes, he hasnt eaten any hot food for about4 months, he just ate a cake hot! i know it doesnt sound like much but i am hoping that now he has made and tried something hot that he might actually eat the pizzas plus the whole letting leo physically makes it (yeah i close my eyes when he is doing it lol) will mean he will at least try it! yesssss mummy 1 fussy eater 0

 

[gilz82]

Sorry missed loads of posts there stupid phone.

Peanut sorry about the crappy washing machine, cold lunch and naughty Byron

Nomore sounds like you've got tomorrow sorted

Cat you are just like me, I've just come back from walking Noah and now am back in jammies, they are clean ones though

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw gilz i thought it was every weekend! oh hun! shame we are opposite ends of the country!

it does make me realise how hard single mothers have it it really does! at least at some point there is repreive for me

i just found another really good idea possibly for monday morning, leo hates paint like i said but a website suggested watering down the paint putting it in spray bottles and going mad with them on a massive piece of paper in the garden! if he doesnt enjoy it i blinking well will!!!

 

[madcatwoman]

peanut, have you finally decided to wash your pj's then?

ive said it before, but yes, a healthy baby is hard work, ive no idea at all how you cope with a sick one on your own, youre a star!

nomore, ive always hated those kind of nights out, always!. i went thru a phase of trying to like them but they were miseable for me,hand on heart i can honestly say im happiest at home,if that makes me boring then thats fine!

 

[PeanutBean]

Nomore it sounds like you have some lovely plans. What's the scrapbook for?

Madcat a quiet pj evening with a snuggly babe sounds charming, no wonder you sent him out!

I too feel for single mums. I've a friend with 1 and 2 and a half year olds who split up whilst preg with her second. I admire her so much. We'd be fine if I just had the time to sit and hold Indigo now and then in the day. She's screamed all day simply because she wanted a cuddle and every time I've tried I've bad to put her down again to deal with Byron or whatever.

We got the pool out and that was fine for a bit. After two rinses and spins the decimated washing is out (Indigo screaming all the while). Just ready to sit down with the poor girl when the neighbour's son in law (by some months of observation a total arsewipe) lit up so had to scarper out the garden with the kids. Then some utter knobends have been riding miniature motorbikes that are as much more loud than normal bikes as they are small. They have been going backwards and forwards past our garden for ages and Byron is terrified of bikes so he kept running indoors and screaming for me, shaking. So afraid he said he didn't like his paddling pool anymore and emptied it out.

So I have admitted defeat. We've just put Aladdin on and are staying here til it's done. Byron has orange, milk and is sat up next to me; Indigo is asleep on me. We are all much happier even if it does mean writing off this lovely day. I'm DH will have finished his schmoozing at the comic con and will be home soonish then we can all go for a walk together.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

thats my plan pb, hoping to go out once dh is here, even if its just for a walk to the shops round the corner to grab some milk and erm .. . .chips lol! i cant do the food shopping on my own anymore and with dh working every daytime until 7pm - leos bedtime - and shops not delivering to our "business address!" we have no food left lol

the scrap book is just my way of getting him to get his hands dirty and get into arts and crafts a bit more, he isnt interested in many indoor activities so leaving him painting, colouring etc isnt an option. so if he gets interested in sticking and gluing plus gets used to getting his hands sticky and dirty his ocd about his hands might get a little better! fx!

although am very impressed thati have a keen cook on my hands! 2.5 is a little young to be responsible for making my dinner isnt it? yes? darn . . . lol

 

[PeanutBean]

Nah it's a great age, DH has Byron making me food all the time! my saviour will be home in about half an hour.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

PB! Poor Byron We have a little shite on our street that is always going on his motorbike at the most mental hours!!!!

ARGH! Alex has made me out to be a liar! DH said he doesn't believe me when I say he doesn't sleep at all during the day when he's not here DH took him down the street at about ten past one and Alex has been asleep in the pram ever since and it's going on four! I wonder if this is part of the growth spurt, lol!

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

he can make a good nutella sandwich already lol but rips all the crusts off lol lol lol i like crusts

i need to get a big splash mat . . . my floor is now a complete and utter state! never mind

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

ha ha ozzie its called sods law, i would moan to dh all the time about how leo never slept one day with him and he slept all day mostly . . . its the worlds way of helping men not feel guilty about leaving mummy with all the baby work lol

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

dh almost half an hour late whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

ahem

[MADLYSBOYS]

Evening Ladies :wave:

A little Harry update ..... Harry is doing well they say they are going to try and reduce his oxygen levels today to see if he will tolerate it and they are also carrying out another xray of his chest and putting a feeding tube insitu because currently he hasnt fed milk since he was born, hes been fed saline by drip My Sister is doing well after her c-section and she might be able to come home tomorrow which will be great because my Niece is missing her Mummy terribly I had her earlier for my Mum for a few hours and the poor little mite doesnt know what to do with herself (she 18mths old!) Harry will stay in neonatal for a few more days and my Sister will visit him often Its funny his collapsed lung was caused by delivery and he was delivered by c-section that is one thing I find hard to get my head around you expect a c-section babe to pop out perfect

NOMORE sounds like you have tomorrow sorted a game Oliver likes is `painting` the walls and path in the garden old paintbrushes and bucket of water are required .... he loves to watch his `pictures` disappear in the sun

Gilz I find the reflux thing hard and I have DH here for the majority ....your a star Mummy oh and I spend my life in my PJs or walk around the house in an old Summer vest such a tramp but like today we havent been out so I showered and popped on an old Summer vest and baggy pj pants

madcat I dont do going out either so if your boring so am I I encourage DH to go out with his colleague at work when they have nights out and dos and such but other than that we are pretty much in favour of staying in and watching a dvd than going out on the razz I do look forward to one night a year infact that night would have been tonight but our friends arent throwing one this year and thats when we go to our best friends annual bbq/party night at their house. We always made a point of booking my Sister to babysit Oliver and we always made a night of it now I think of it it was the night of their party last year that we concieved Charlie that said though am not ready to leave Charlie yet for a night out I left him for 2.5hrs last night to go to the hospital to see my Sister and Harry and all I could think about was getitng back home and having my baby in my arms I am 30 next November and have been planning my party for the last few years I am planning `eastern` theme with bangra dancers however I would give that up in a nanosecond to take Oliver to Disneyland Paris which is my dream his and my birthday are two weeks apart and I couldnt think of a better way to spend my 30th than at Disneyland Paris with the boys and DH

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw bless! yeah the look on his face madly when you tell him for his birthday he is going to disney! aw bless!


aw your poor neice it is so hard because at that age they are still in the between stage of understanding what is going on bless her. aw your poor sis glad that baby is doing well though!

i know its funny you would think c section delivery would prevent a lot of risk but it simply doesnt look at how leo came out! i think it is fair to say that there is no delivery method that carries 0% risk of something happening which affects yours and baby's health -

i had just written a massive long rant about dh still not being here . . . . but remembered my no rant promise lol felt good to type it though lol all i have to think is it is going to be ten times worse with two so dont get too angry about things now, things are better now lol

 

[PeanutBean]

I'm glad Harry is doing well madly and hope everything is fine as they ease off the treatment. Tbh I expect more problems with c section that not. Of course a large number of sections are done because of there being issues in the first place but any section that takes place before labour starts naturally runs a strong risk of respiratory issues in the baby. I'm so glad he is picking up, you must have all been so worried.

We've had a better evening. Took the kids and dog via the field to the station to meet DH - got the dogwalk done and Byron was excited to see a train. I think Byron had probably had a good day. I think Indigo has probably had the worst day with no sleep at all til late afternoon.
