Hi all!! how is everyone doing?? nearly xmas!!
Sorry I have not been keeping up with things on here, I have had so much going on that I really don't know where to begin. To sum up: I am almost 28 weeks now and we know it's a boy!! we have chosen a name but not told anyone, they all think we are still deciding as we found opinions were flying at us from all directions. OH now lives with me & I can honestly say I have never been happier, I am in the most wonderful relationship and it feels like I am living with my best friend
never thought I would be this soppy
Jack loves him too and seeing them play together is amazing. Jack's dad has been better with seeing him & not letting him down although the drinking is still an issue, it always will be, but he is more responsible when he has Jack now & Jack loves his time with him so that's all I care about. Jack has glasses now & looks so cute!
I lost my job when I was 23 preggo
I have been there 4.5 years & it was a huge blow but I beleive everything happens for a reason. I have never been a 'stay at home mum' type of person & have found the adjustment hard but me & Jack have bonded even more which is great. Just hard having a very active 2 year old keeping me busy with a growing bump
I am trying to keep him in nursery a day here & there as it's great for him. But not cheap
We have had massive problems with the flat, basically I was naive and desperate when I found the place & didn't see the issues, there's sever damp and mould issues, hundreds of ££s of my things including a computer and a buggy & my bed have been ruined by mould, the smell is terrible and all walls are rotting. We also have no source of heating. My estate agents are awful and ignore every call & email so I eventually went to environmental health who have issued an order on the landlord to get full central heating, istalation, ventilation & then repair the mould damage. I am then thinking about making a small claim case for the damage of so many of mine & Jack's things. Being at home now means I see my problems on the walls every day & it gets me so down
I have gone from being very indipendant & having my own, well paid job, to having to rely on OH's not very well paid wage only. He is amazing and works to provide for us & I am very lucky. No one will employ me at 6 months preggo. My ebay business is doing well with it being xmas now. So hopefully the landlord will sort something but due to financial troubles etc we have applied for council housing which I never thought would happen but we actually need it for our boys more than anything. I have paid high taxes since starting work 15 years ago so I guess I shouldn't feel bad about it.
On top of all this my dad has had a massive breakdown & is drinking badly & had his driving licence takn away due to it & has been on our sofa on & off pretty much since I moved in & it;s a horribe drain
his nightmare of a wife (she is younger than me) has been sleeping with her boss, told him & dad their latest baby is both of thiers, got a restraining order on dad but still uses him to babysit while she goes on drink & drug sprees leaving her 4 kids at home or sometimes with strangers, the whole thing is a Jeremy Kyle show style mess.
Phew - what a ranty update haha!!
Sorry again for not keeping up, you are all in my thoughts and I plan to log on more often for sure
