I think Aiden must be having a growth spurt or something, or he isn't getting enough calories through the day...he's been waking through the night looking for milk, then gurning when he isn't given any...So as a result we were up at 5am this morning...Ughhh...He was lucky enough to be back in bed for 7.30am ! And to top it off the whole house was awake at 6.30 because its Matthew's b/day....Sigh.., guess I'm going to have a whole house of crab apples this evening....

Amy I hope your mum feels better soon...I'm talking myself out of being pregnant too...I still have bouts of nausea and I can't sleep on my stomach now either...but I keep telling myself the dates when I started to feel this doesn't tally in....But....I came off the pill so who knows really how that affected me??? Sorry but I can't get to grips with not having sex for a week never mind a month ;-p After a couple of days we're picking a fight over who's causing us not to...haha....Of course I started a really stupid conversation yesterday about 'before me'...I'm normally very easy-osy, can't change the past so why let it grind you down...(heck, we bought a house across the road from his ex!! lol ) But I got very cross/jealous yesterday...and thats it...he's now convinced too, that my hormones are away doing crazy things again!!! I wish next week would hurry and come, I would be happy NOT to be this month.... ↑

I'm really hoping this date night will help. I think we've really let our relationship slide since walker was born. clearly there's not much intimacy goign on...and we both admit we're at fault and don't really fight about it...just sigh in resignation that it's poopy. ↑

Happy Birthday to Matthew!!! Wow, a teenager...gulp! ↑
Name: iemc19 | Date: Jun 11th, 2008 11:28 AM
We were a bit slow to get back on track after Aiden was born ....I think it was our age this time! haha! I was doing baby hours - and getting to bed at midnight, he'd be snoring and I didn't care!!! We actually had a blazing arguement about it before agreeing we both had to make the effort...I think its habit like everything else - the longer you go without the harder it is to want to get back into it... ;-) ↑

Happy Birthday Matthew!! So he is the first teenager out of all the mommies. Thankfully when this batch of lo's gets to be teenagers you can offer us some great advice!....And speaking of teenagers...here we are in toddlerhood already. Its exciting and sad all the same. It is passing us by so quickly! ↑

I agree irene. With the waiting part. A lot of times if Dh would just appraoch me w/o that seeming to be the only reason he would get what he wanted more often and with 1/2 the effort LOL ↑

Okay Tara - I did your photo thing - and Amy's - I think I did it right, although Amy said you had to register, but I didn't and it stll seemed to work??? A date night sounds like fun...I think I'm going to arrange one of those...now that I've brought Aiden's bedtime forward to 7pm, it will work better for us...Not that we have a huge choice in F.W....We have no cinema nor nufink...sob...guess we'll have to go for dinner - as usual.... ↑

I cannot believe that we are in the todler room. Where did the time go?????? ↑

I think date nights are very important. I will say some of our date nights are at home renting a movie and ordering Chinese food but we call them date nights...anything to try to get romance in there. As far as pregnancy goes....I have the hiccups and have had them for the past two weeks...my mom said to me...."are you pregnant? The last time I heard you hiccup was when you were." I just laughed it off...but as I am writing I just hiccuped. I will have a better idea if I am by Father's Day. I will take another test Saturday if I do not AF by then. ↑

AHHHHHH So we are here now - bye bye babies - hello toddlers! Amy - so sorry about your mom. I hope she starts to feel better soon. And yeah - Irene - Teenager! OMG...I took my 12 year old niece with me to the pool with Chloe today for the first time. Chloe loved it! She splased around and it has a huge sand pit since it used to be an old quarry they converted. ↑

Today was quite the day...my son got his arm stuck in a chair that we have at home. It was so hard to get his arm out. I thought I was going to have to call the firemen to come and saw him out. He is fine though but I got a little scared for a moment. We did have fun today on webcam...do any of you have a skype account? My MIL just mailed us a webcam today in the mail so she can see her grandson. She stared at him while he just stood there and watched...probably wondering who are these people, but it was definitely something that made my in-laws day. I am glad that I gave them that moment. If you have relatives far away you might consider getting one. The skype account is free. ↑

Man sonrisa I would hate to imagine how badly I would panic if Caden was to get stuck like that especially with the fit he would be throwing!...I have some really goodnews...remember how I think I told yall that dh and his manager couldnt get along..well dh went back to work yesterday and his manager came in and put in his 2 weeks notice. But the company told him that he could just finish out the nite and be done so dh got a new manger but one he has had several years back ↑

Hey Son...your hiccup thread has re-appeared on the first tri board! And there's you with them again now too...lol ↑
Name: iemc19 | Date: Jun 12th, 2008 5:26 AM
Tara - you dh must be well happy! Mine works with a total plonker...he can't handle the 'management ' side of things - is too scared of confrontation ...and sneaks around the place , dropping hints for others to pass on....grrr.. ↑
Name: iemc19 | Date: Jun 12th, 2008 5:30 AM
So Aiden woke at 5am AGAIN today....at least he went back to sleep - kind of - for another hour, but he grumbled away the whole time....Jeez what is it with my kids when they are small and sleep???He won't leave any covers on so maybe he's cold, don't believe I have to look out the winter fleece again?? And he's not eating so much , so maybe he's hungry?? And those back teeth STILL aren't through all the way, maybe its that...Or MAYBE he's just a little shite!!! He just teased me with sleeping well before changing his mind!!!! Pardon the French....Ughh and I still feel sick.... ↑

Irene...Declan was up at 5:30am and now three hours later he is down taking a nap of course my sleep was cut short. I think he is teething. He still only has two bottom teeth. I checked out my old thread about hiccups,...that is so funny that it popped up again. I posted a message on it. Thank you for letting me know. AF is due today...we will see what happens. ↑
Name: Gretta | Date: Jun 12th, 2008 10:12 AM
Ooooh Son - thats a sign LOL!!! Cat - does DH like the new/old boss? And yesterday Chloe was exhausted after her day at the pool. I put her down for bed at 6:30 and she slept until 7:30 this morning HAAAA I am just telling you that to bug you all!!! ↑
Yes Dh likes his new boss. He will have been with the company 10 years in august (dh that is that kinda sounds like im saying his boss and i have no idea how long his boss has lol) Dh has never disliked any of his bosses. Sometimes they have disagreements b/c dh will give a suggestion on certain things and IMO my dh does not always chose his words wisely. No one was really for sure why he now ex-boss (the one that quit) got so much different treatment than the others. Such as, all the managers are required to move every year to a different area. Susposedly so everyone learns how to do all the areas. His ex-boss got out of it for 3 years in a row. Plus he would try to get ppl to fight him and cuss people and stuff. The company would have fired any other boss but instead they paid for him to take anger management classes. I think that perhaps someone that held a pretty high position was a relative or something. In the 10 years dh has worked there no other manager that has had that type of treatment. Who knows, the important thing is that he dont work there no more! I almost feel like im still on vacation. Dh even thought today was wednesday haha I was like man you dont even realize your at work.? ↑

Ok I gotta tell the grosses thing ever. It makes me sick to think about it but i cant help but think about it. Caden put something in his mouth last nite and i was like noooo. But he bit down on it before I got there and started spitting and carring on. It was a dead dog tick. Can you belive that. We don't even have animals in the house! This is the only thing we can figure. I had just vacumned and my mom helps out in the apartments she lives in. There was an apartment that still need vacumned so it could be rented and she ask dh if he could do it for her so he took our vacumn over there and done it and they had animals. I dont know where else it came from. OOOOOo so gross. YUK YUK YUK....We have dogs but dont have a problem w/ ticks because we use frontline and then the bug ppl spray our backyard with this stuff to kill ticks, fleas, and spiders. So we dont have to worry about those things...I have been worried sick about it but dh says he thinks he will be fine. It was last nite that he done it...Poor guy ↑

Cat - I still have you beat with when I pulled dirty cat litter out of Chloe's mouth - and my SIL in scotland found her now 4 year old chewing on the toilet cleaning brush when she was a baby...Grosss ↑
Name: catgiggles | Date: Jun 12th, 2008 6:25 PM
I reread my post and i want to clarify something...the bug ppl spray to kill insects not the spiders. Should would be nice if they spray would kill off spiders but they dont. So, as far as we understand it, if you keep thier food source away they stay away more?. ↑

Stuff out in my garden is starting to grow! But I think somehow we ended up w/ all squash and no zucchini. I am dissappoint if that is what happened. I guess we will see but what was supose to be zucchini is starting to grow and it sure looks awful yellow to me. I have a squash that will be ready for picking in a few days! ↑
Name: catgiggles | Date: Jun 12th, 2008 6:42 PM
I know yall may be thinking..why is she getting all excited lol but this is dhs and I first garden that is at are place and all our doings. We use to go help mom w/ hers but ever since she moved in the apartments she hasnt had one ↑
Name: Sonrisa | Date: Jun 12th, 2008 9:50 PM
So I gave in and took a test today....it was negative. No AF yet. I hate not having a regular cycle. ↑
Name: iemc19 | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 6:02 AM
Tara - I think thats really exciting about your own veggie garden - we keep atarting and stopping with the kids -- potatoes and carrots are about all we can grow - so we've moved onto flowers this year!! haha...On the gross me out topic - my sister was once caught eating cat poo!!! Or at least about to.....eww! ↑
Name: iemc19 | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 6:03 AM
Son? When you got pregnant with Declan didn't you say you went a long time without a period before you tested positive?? :-) Happy thoughts ↑
Name: iemc19 | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 6:07 AM
So I have 7 12/13 yr old boys this evening - I've to make pizza dough and then they're getting on with it...Thank goodness for the playroom - I'm sure they'll end up there playing Mario Kart on the Wii...And then they're sleeping the night in the garden in our old, small 4 man tent!!!??? Don't ask me how, probably the only year they'll fit altogether...next year I expect to see them beefed up a bit...Then I'm on pancake duty in the morning - oh joy - I'll be there forever with that amount of kids....And then they're going swimming by themselves.....Sounds relatively pain and hassle free....fingers crossed.... better go Aiden is stirring from his nap.... ↑
Name: Sonrisa | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 8:26 AM
Irene, yeah..It took a while for the test to come back positive. I even had a blood test done and it came back negative and I was actually pregnant. I have to say...I am feel nauseas right now...but it is probably just my head playing tricks on me. IF AF is not here on Father's Day I will take another test. ↑
