November Rainbows 2016

[Lucasmum]

He is back home now well his dad collected him this evening but I found out he stayed somewhere else Friday night, maybe they are just passing him around, well jealous I didnt think of that He is a good kid a year older than Lucas but mentally a lot older so there was a lot of teasing that led to Lucas being a strop some of the time

I'm bloody exhausted though they didnt go to sleep till gone midnight and where up just before 0600, the oncall phone hasnt stopped ringing but thankfully I've not had to go out yet, one client did call and ask would I go out in the night to put his wife back into bed and I told him no earliest I can go is 0700 knowing his carers get there at 0730 and he said its not worth it, sounds mean but we arent there for that anything like that he would need to call paramedics which he wont do Still have a horrible feeling he is going to ring about 0400 though dreading it

 

[lilesMom]

I don't think it sounds mean hon
Ur right, its ambulance he should call then.
Is she very feeble?
Its tough on the couple.
But u cant look after the whole world either
Just cos u offer care by day.
Aging is tough.
My mom and dad r 76 and 81.
My dad is flying mostly.
But my mom has lots of health issues.
Its tough on them both .
Aging is sucky but much better than the alternative .

Is Lucas grand again now he is home?

 

[lilesMom]

Little missy is being much quieter last few days.
Still getting movement but much less.
She is prob in different positions but I prefer being kicked away mad ��

 

[Lucasmum]

I've felt the same, less movement enough, but less I think she may have turned and thats why, on Thurs she did something no idea what in there but my whole tummy was rippling for ages and it was one hell of move and since then its been less but when I do it feels a lot lower down if that makes any sense what so ever Feels like she is stood up doing a jig

Yeah she is 89 and has severe dementia its tough on him but if I do it once he will expect it again and after a few wake nights there last year I'm more than aware she can be up on the hour every hour and I cant keep rushing across town through the night I'm far to tired

Lucas is fine now I reckon it was hormones just what I need a new baby and him hitting puberty

 

[lilesMom]

Yeah little munchkin is switching between breech and head down too
Think that's why it differs so much

Hope so anyway.

Oh oh on puberty.
Not looking forward to all that with Simon.
But its a ways off anyway

Aren't boys supposed to be easier than girls though.
Hope so.
My girls is a lot further off.
Hee hee

 

[lilesMom]

That is hard on him.
Could he get respite care for her sometimes
So he can hve a break.
Poor guy.
But u def cant go in middle of the night.
It wouldn't just be a one off thing, def.
Xxx

 

[Lucasmum]

He wont have it and she just screams and wails when she cant see him she was in hospital recently and spent most time under sedation quite sad really.

Lilesmom do you mind me asking what age your mum was when she had you I assume she was an older mum? And how did effect you growing up or did you not notice any different

 

[lilesMom]

Aw that is sad .
Dementia is terrible.

Mom was 40 when she had me.
I didn't even notice she was older than other moms.
Still don't really.
Her mind set is much younger than lots of younger moms.
She was always loving and fun
So all was fine

Only drawback was she hit menopause while I hit puberty
Lots of sulks from both of us for a year r so on and off.
But no predicting when we will hve menopause anyway.
So I wouldn't let that stop me if I want another one later.

 

[lilesMom]

Id love to stay in bed with a book for the day.
I'm not feeling sick anymore really
Just incredibly lazy!!!
But unfortunately mouse has other plans

Hve to go to his preschool tomorrow for admission meeting
Then he starts the next day.
The nerves r kicking in
But I think he will like it.
Still seems a bit surreal though to be honest.

 

[LynAnne]

Maryanne, yeah we got the pram last week. It's brilliant. I can't wait until we can pop our little guy in it!

Got to go to the hospital today for my anti d injection for being rhesus negative and I really don't want to! It's not that I'm scared of needles or injections. It's just I don't know exactly where in the hospital I'm going and that puts me on edge!

Dog also has to go back to the vet on Thursday to be put under anaesthetic for a scale and polish which I'm not looking forward to. She's just my little baby!

 

[lilesMom]

Best of luck with finding the place.
I'm sure lots of people around to help if u get a bit lost xx
Best of luck to ur dog too x

 

[maryanne1987]

Glad you like the pram lynanne. Bet you can't wait to use it. Hope the hospital goes ok. I'm sure your dog will be ok, I totally get it though as my dog is my baby. And when I'm working I spend all my time telling people don't baby your dogs. Oops. What breed is she?

Awww lilesmom I hope it goes ok. Kids starting nursery is always tough. Zack took it ok but I fell apart sounds like he's got a place in a great nursery though.

 

[LynAnne]

lilesmom, I'm sure there will be plenty of people to ask if I get lost but I just always prefer knowing exactly where I am going before I have to go somewhere. One of the wonderful things about my anxiety!

Maryanne, she's a little Jack Russell Terrier. We were determined not to baby her and had a whole bunch of rules set out before we got her but most of them went out the window pretty quickly! Dogs are just such a big part of the family.

Thats good that you never noticed, I do worry about about being the older mum at school things and so on, but I dont feel 40 my mind set is also a lot younger

 

[lilesMom]

Thanks Maryanne xx
I'll be fine so long as I know he likes it .
I'll be glad of a break so long as he is w there though

I used to really hate going places I didn't know too
I've had practise runs driving and getting to places so I will know where I'm going to .
But since having Simon I don't hve the time or energy for it
And I'm much better off .
I hve to try leave early though
I hate finding a place when later.

Little madam is moving my belly again today.
Must hve been growth spurt and or position
Happier now

 

[Lucasmum]

Good luck at the hospital I'm sure you will find it OK I always say pets are pets and not babies but all my animals are my little babies and get treated like it

I bet Simon will love preschool how is he getting on with his chair

I think u wont be alone hon.
There r loads and loads of later moms now
I'm 36 in a week and a bit
And I'm kinda thinking this isn't my last.
Well on my good days I am

 

[lilesMom]

A neighbour is having her wedding in a months time.
I half want to go but don't really.
It seems like so much hassle
But she is really nice
Cant bring Simon.
Not sure if I should go or not.
We aren't friends really
Just friendly neighbours
I could go weeks without seeing her
If u were me would u go or not go?

 

[lilesMom]

He likes the chair lots.
Using it a bit everyday.
But I'm gonna try not bring it around in my car till after bub
Its heavy lifting in and out of boot .
But for school he will use it all the time
I'm delighted he got it in time for school .
Thanks x

 

[Lucasmum]

Glad he is still loving it

Most day I think this is the last it has to be the last but then I think if I have another straight away it wont be so bad, I darent tell OH these thoughts though I think he would drop dead

Can you have a hoist fitted in the car for lifting the chair in and out?
