Praying for a 2012 BFP and 2013 Baby!!!

[MrsPTTC]

Claire I know my BFF is feeling the same as you about NYE. We're going to St James' park again for a 4 course meal, band & disco like we did last year & my BFf is coming with us by herself, she's already warned she'll likely be emotional. I even find midnight brings a tear to my eyes as the last 2yrs we've been TTC & not succeeding. This year baby P is on the way but think I'll still well up thinking of the amazing year ahead we have in store! hope you're ok Hun oh and BTW bump piccy coming up! Shame you're not on Facebook as I have a couple on there...

Rach, sorry to hear Dh still not better

Hi ladies! Wow, I didn't realize it had been over 2 months since I've given an update. Life is so busy! Working full-time, then because of Christmas time I had a huge rise in sign orders so I was doing all those with my free time, and I don't know if they have this in other countries but I recently joined a roller derby team and have been doing practice 2 times a week in order to get ready to start competing. I haven't been on roller skates since I was 13 I think so it has been crazy trying to re-learn everything! Then I had to buy skates and a helmet and pads and that was crazy expensive but hopefully I will be officially competing soon. And OMG what a workout!

As for Jackson, he will be 8 months on the 5th, time is flying! He has SIX teeth in, two bottom and all four top. The four top teeth came in at the same time and it was a miserable few days. They aren't in all the way but the white bottoms are out. Last time I had him weighed was the beginning of November and he was 19 lbs, but I weighed him on a scale with me and calculated that he was 21 lbs. His head has rounded out a lot and isn't the monstrousity that it was before. We had to have an ultrasound to rule out any fluid or tumors, but he passed that and so the doctors aren't worried. He's been in the 98th percentile for months now so that's why they wanted to check and make sure nothing was wrong.

He hasn't started crawling yet but he's great at rolling where he needs to go, and doing the inchworm. He can sit for a long time now. We usually put the boppy pillow behind him in case he falls over. We had to break out the playpen today so that we can contain him, because he keeps wanting to roll over to the power cords and play with them :/ or my husband's shoelaces! Both not a good idea.

Anyone's babies getting reeeeeeeally fussy lately, and you don't think its anything like teething? I don't know if he's just in a phase but he goes through these half hour long freak outs and NOTHING will console him. People have told me its teething or a belly ache... he does get rigid which makes me think pain too but it just stops so randomly I don't know what it is.

I have been really forgetful with my birth control this month and although I don't want Jackson to be a big brother yet we will see where God takes us with all this... it scares me a bit.

Anyway I'm glad to be back and I'll try to stay more regular on here!

Here's some pics

MrsMM- I am so relieved to come back here and see you're still pregnant. I am so happy for you!

Pam- if you still stalk this page, CONGRATS! I am thrilled for you also.

Claire- I am so sorry about your OH. What an asswipe, douchenozzle, asshat. Haha. You're better off anyway- like you said, you were doing the single parent thing already, might as well go find someone who is ready to be a family man.

welcome back Kendra

No have not heard of roller derby, sounds fun!

Lovely pics of Jackson, he's a real cutey. Not sure what it could be, worth getting it checked out I think.

Harry's got to the real clingy stage, hates it if I leave the room. As soon as I leave, seconds later there is a pull on my trousers and there he is! He'd happily let me carry him around all day if I could!.
My oh says Thomas was the same, I don't remember it myself but he is a very confident boy now so if that is the case it is probably just temporary I think/hope!

although I do think it is rather sweet when i'm not trying to do something that I can only do with 2 hands!

 

[deafgal01]

babyhopes- I'm doing good, interestingly... It helps I keep myself busy... Even on break, I am still on the go at times.

What's everyone doing to celebrate the new year's? Any resolutions or you guys don't believe in that? I'm going to a girlfriend's house to ring it in with her- just us girls with her cats. Then tomorrow I'm having a meal with my best friend and her boyfriend (and my husband). At some point this week I'll finally see the Hobbit and relax some more. Play with my ipad probably- it is scheduled to arrive by the 4th but tracking the package tells me that it'll arrive today. Few days early but I'm so happy and excited.

Oh yeah, husband made a deal with me for the new year's... We're gonna compete to see who loses the most fat in 2013. Deal ends at end of 2013 (OR when I get knocked up)... Bring it on!

Kendra- so good to see you back on here FINALLY!!!!!!!

 

[30mummyof1]

Yes I've got a few this year dg,

1) loose weight. I've just bought a new fitness dvd, and going to do a 20min section everyday plus follow the diet. I think I want to loose about 1 1/2 stone but we'll see how it goes, just seeing it start working will be fab!

2) get out more with Harry once Thomas starts school, and meet some mums with kids around Harry's age as I know loads with Thomas's age but not younger unfortunately, most have not had a 2nd yet or only just. Then Harry will hopefully have some playmates of his own

3) try and get out more with the oh, use his parents a bit more often to babysit, even just for a meal or to the cinema.

think that's it for now!

 

[30mummyof1]

Oh and my oh has given me a big incentive, in that if I loose the weight he'll buy me a new wardrobe

 

[deafgal01]

Ooooooh 30- you can totally do it! That'd be awesome- new wardrobe!!!!!

 

[30mummyof1]

I've just got to keep focussed...not helped by the fact my mil has just brought around the biggest turkey pie you have ever seen!!

 

[deafgal01]

Oh no- resist the turkey pie.

[Flowerbaby]

Happy New Year too you all ladies xxx

 

[MrsPTTC]

Happy new year ladies!

Mrsmm I had a feeling you would be team how lovely! Interesting the predictor was right for both you & rach's babies x 2, though I guess it's 50/50!

DG we went out to our football (soccer) stadium & had a 5 course meal, band (weren't as good as last years) & disco, piper & sausage/bacon sandwiches at midnight. Had a really good night, didn't get in til 4am as went back to a friends for a cuppa

Aw Claire, it's over with now, you just enjoy the new year & think of it as a new start with Poppy, enjoy yourself & your new home once you find it. Mr Right is round the corner I'm sure

No NY resolutions for me! Though DH needs to give up the odd cigars, he stopped the cigarettes last new year & I've told him he's not coming anywhere near the baby if he's still smoking when it's here, cigars stink!

[30mummyof1]

Good odds though with our 4 babies! can't wait to find out what you are having hun!

what a night, you did well staying up till 4! my oh likes the odd cigar, urrgghh. I think they are worse than cigarettes! we just had a boring night in front of telly..i was on the Bacardi but as my oh wasn't drinking it wasn't much fun, not sure why I bothered really!

off to my mums today for a new year buffet, oh's parents will be there too. Then that's it the diet starts tomorrow!

 

[MrsPTTC]

I think they have a worse smell than ciggies, but I'm sure I heard they're less harmful . Enjoy your mum's hun!

So finally here is my 23 week scan pic! And also a bump pic from today 29+6
