Mother of all conception months Graduates

[PeanutBean]

Morning all.

Molly I'm applying for Sure Start as soon as I'm the right number of weeks as in April it stops for 2nd baby and i'm not sure how that will work! We weren't eligible last time but looks like we will be this time.

Lovely bump Bids and congrats on half way, time's flying!

Well it's babies a-go-go here! Yesterday my sister phoned to say her overdue best mate from from school (who I know well) had her baby, a surprise little girl. Just checked fb and found one of my mum mates has just had her little boy too. She was due Feb and was pretty prem with her first. This one was 4lb something and she had him at home!

It's lovely all these babies have been born but if I'm honest I feel a little jealous too as both were home births. I'm pretty surprised my friend's was so can only assume it was quick and not planned that way as prem births are unsupported at home. She must've had to go in to get baby checked I would've thought.

It's horrible of me to feel this way. I know my friend was really worried about going early again...

Morning all.

well as far as DH and his mates go, i had words last night about it, he knew i was serious, and i knows if it happens again i'll be putting my foot down. and As for when the baby is here, it WILL be out of the question and he's knows it.

had a well crap nights sleep.slept from 10.30-2,DH came home from the pub, woke me up (we have noisey floors) and from there on my hips never stopped aching,so i tossed and turned all night and never slept a wink. by 4am i was starvin!.

LMAOpeanut, hope you and didnt suffercate in the end!, i know what you mean though!!.

 

[madcatwoman]

i forgot to say. worse men out there than my DH though, listen to this!. bit of pub gossip about one of his other mates.........

a mate of his,...married...they have a 6 month old baby together.he's always been very tight, were never able to afford to do their house up because she doesnt earn as much as he does...she has to put in an equal share in if they want anything done.....(getting the picture?).
Aparently he had a £4k bonus at christmas, and he hasnt told her about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
shes had to go back to work because she cant afford to stay home any longer,the 6month old is in nursery,their kitchen is a ruin, and he's not told her anything about this windfall.

how horrible

 

[PeanutBean]

I think you might've mentioned them before madcat. I just cannot understand these men. Seen so many awful stories on here.

Well I didn't suffocate but I'm beginning to wish I had. Not having a fantastic day. Feel sick and achey, first pee felt bit cystitisy, tummy is really hurting so either my muscles are splitting further or it's new stretchmark time (or both). Byron is just being such a pain. He's gone all clingy and naughty. Can't leave a room without him screaming. Had to take him down with me to feed the dog then he found something he shouldn't have and wouldn't give it back. Rather than chasing him I waited til he came back then took it so he screamed. He then took himself off upstairs so I shut the gate and came back down to drink the rest if my juice as I was ready to be sick. So he screamed and screamed. Trying to get in shower and he's yawning away so decide to put him to bed which he wants. Read some stories then he starts pissing about so I have to give up. Pretends he needs a wee either because I go or to get my attention. Got in shower and he stood outside the door for 5 mins then left the room and screamed til I got out. Then he grabbed my rennies and ran away with them and of course screamed when I took them. It's nearly lunchtime now and I can really see that going well. No chance of getting anything done at all today. Had toted with the idea of shops for baby cards and presents I need to get.

Sigh.

 

[madcatwoman]

oh peanut, whats up with Byron, how old is he now, is it the terrible twos???, certainly giving you the run around which is not easy for you now.
this pregnancy lark really doesnt agree with you and your health at all does it?, what a relief it will be to get back to being 'you' again.

i have to say, i was really concerned about how id feel about being pregnant, about getting big, but also about being sick(my phobia) and my skin (im very acne prone. someone must be looking down on me i think, spared my phobia, gave me spots in first tri&greasy hair but both have cleared beautifully now(i dont even need to wash my hair as often as i had to). Yes i get my aches and pains in bed, and probably like you mr bump gets a bit more uncomfy these days,but i do feel truely grateful compaired to what you have to go though.

i take it this will be your last?!!

 

[PeanutBean]

Dunno. We might have a third. This is a bit better than with Byron, overall. But no pregnancy doesn't agree with me. Interestingly I don't use any hormonal contraception and haven't for years as they totally break me too. With normal me though there's not pmt or anything.

Byron's 2. He's had no clinginess really til now, wondering if it's because of having had Christmas together. He's really extremely well behaved too. This behaviour today and yesterday is from the clinginess and being tired. I just have very little tether.

So tired but mist move for lunch...

 

[madcatwoman]

funny, ive never been hormonal, im no different now to when im on the pill or when im not on the pill!. I do like the pill,my skin can get so bad and really get me down without it, so it works wonders,which is why i was worried how id end up looking when coming off it and being pregnant.

DH is already talking about if we decide to try for no2!!, im going to see how i find this parenting lark first and of course the rest of my pregnancy and giving birth. the plan was only to ever have one!, but who knows, maybe, maybe not!.

 

[vbaby3]

Hi ladies!!
Poor peanut,I've really sailed thru my pregnancies so feel bad for you.Of course starting to feel uncomfy now,and my vulval varicose veins are throbbing,sorry tmi!!
But I really can't complain.
I think the terrible 2's start at 1 and a half,well they did here anyway.
But be assured peanut that baby no 2 will be nowhere near as naughty or demanding as baby 1!
Oran obviously has his moments,but compared to when shay was a toddler is like an angel.
He was a better baby too,probably simply because he was left to just sit and watch and amuse himself so much more than shay ever was,because I had to spread myself between the 2.
You'll have the same age gap I had too peanut,and I thought it was great.Shay was just old enough to understand it was our baby and he was going nowhere lol!
He didn't display jealousy at all,and the roughness and fighting and stuff didn't start til oran was big enough to give as good as he got!
I am hoping this baby girl will be a bit less boisterous than my boys,If you saw the wrestling moves and jumping on each other that they do(why oran has broken teeth now)I'm surprised I haven't had to make a trip to a and e by now.
Don't know how i'd cope if there were 3 of them at it!!

On the nappy changing,yeh I think i'd rather change a boy anyday,at least all the mess is on the outside.Not looking forward to all the 'creases' of my girls bits,I can even imagine dh lol!!!I'd say he'll be trying to make me do all the pooey 1's!!
Madcat,yeh speed is the key with lil boys!Maybe throw a wipe or something over his willy whole you're cleaning his bum and at least you won't get hit in the face!!
Once you get the hang of it you'll fly at it!

Afternoon all

Peanut sorry you are feeling crappy again today hon and that Byron is being a wee monkey today

Madcat I'm the same as you my OH very rarely every does what yours did last night, and I imagine he's quite similar to your DH in that neither of them mean to cause any offence or upset by doing it. I think men are just more spontaneous creatures sometimes so don't find it weird to just drop everything and go for a pint.

I've got shopping nuts today, ordered our pram, car seat, Moses basket and stand, steriliser, changing mat, bath set, some bedding, changing bag and think that's it so far

Also thought I'd stick a picture up of my 21 week bump, please excuse the pants they are my comfy ones for sleeping in.

Hi Ladies,

I recorded baby Petal's hb the other day!!

here is the link....

And this is my 15+1 baby bump

 

[gilz82]

Your bump is awesome Sofiekirsten it's a proper egg shape

 

[PeanutBean]

Amazing bumps! I'm always in awe if where ladies like you gilz keep your babies but they're always in there and come out just fine! I've a way bigger tummy than you when not pregnant!

Byron's ok really. He's just started this clingy phase and really we've been lucky he's not already done this. Really he's messing about because I'm feeling miserable and can't really manage. It's me who's being unmanageable. I keep shouting at him. . He's supposed to be going to sleep now but is playing with trains sweetly. Was ok with his lunch in the end. Middling.

 

[pinkclaire]

Aww look at your bumps! I'm huge compared to you gilz!

Peanut I've found james was harder at the start of the week after spending so much time with me (as he was ill he was also in my bed everynight!) I'm sure it must affect them. I think james has started the terrible 2s already at less than one, he has proper strops, like throws himself down on the floor spread out banging his legs on the floor! He's started hitting the other children who take his toys ekk! I'm sure he's learnt it from nursery.

I'm feeling crappy today, got a really bad tummy and it's making me feel so yuck, James up at 5.30, hubby refused to get up so I'm in a strop with him as he's away all week now and I feel pooped!

 

[pinkclaire]

I do that as well peanut, if I'm in a bad mood james always seems to be much worse I think it rubs off xx

 

[PeanutBean]

Sorry you feel ill pink.

 

[gilz82]

Pink tell your hubby to get a grip, you can't be responsible for growing a baby, caring for another and ill all at once!!

I honestly think the population would decrease so rapidly if men had to be pregnant, let alone give birth.

 

[Sofiekirsten]

Your bump is awesome Sofiekirsten it's a proper egg shape

thanks hun!

I was flabbergasted when I looked at the pic didn't realise how egg shaped it actually was

 

[Bids]

gilz im glad your bump is little like mine (well mines not as small as yours cos your smaller than me anyway) but i've been stressing cos that was at night when its bigger woke up today and its almost gone again - wouldnt have thought it was still a bloat?!!

great bump sofie and hope everyone else feels better tomorrow you all sound so crappy today!!

when will we get the update from loopy?? missed what time her scan was etc looking forward to seeing if your right again madly

 

[gilz82]

Bumps are quite weird aren't they, they are all so different

I think Loopy's scan was at 9 this morning but maybe she's been out buying stuff with her family today. I do hope everything is ok tho.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Lovely bump pics Bids, Gilz and Sofie

Poor Peanut This sickness melarky esp when dealing with tearaway little boys is no fun at all

madcat please make sure your DH doesnt drop you at the drop of an hat once Bailey is here its really not on and your quiet time together then will be precious and should be made the most of

Molly I replied to you on my baby girls clothes thread Please let me know if you want anymore items cause this eve and tomorrow eve am going to list on ebay for my sister as its fee free weekend and I may as well take advantage of it

Well I have been busy busy busy today We collapsed Olivers cot and its now stored safetly in our basement until needed for Charlie and we have made a little corner in our bedroom for all of Charlies stuff I didnt realise just how much we have The pram is up there too now out of the way until hes born and I realised my changing bag is a perfect match in colour for the britax neon black buggy and even has all the silver reflective bits so its co-ordinates great However we have realised that it may seem we need adaptors to attach the car-seat to the frame of the buggy It was listed as compatible with the click and go buggy which is what our buggy is and never mentioned needing adaptors but we think it probably does Plenty of time to get those though I have been recieving my parcels full of baby clothes and I have recieved some wonderful items I cant wait to put him in the clothes we have for him So David is doing an asda shop and a few errands and I just took a break to feed Oliver, me and Charlie so now am off back to upstairs to continue to spring clean and will be back later :wave: Have a lovely aft Ladies

PS Loopy hope your scan is/went well
