@MickeyS look at her she's gorgeous š! She's got so much hair too I'm jealous, I can't believe my little baldy is only a week younger!
I'm glad you got some help with AilbhĆa's skin, especially with it getting hotter the past few weeks! Hopefully that's it all under control for her ā¤ļø
Thanks @MickeyS I'm really happy to be pregnant again but wish I wasn't so scared
Not able to get me a scan in the end the epu said no, my doctor did try but no luck, she's given me another 2 weeks off work, longest I've ever spent not working but definetly for the best I work in a care home with people with dementia so it's alot of lifting and can be aggressive so glad to be away I'm. Gunna book my 8 week appointment on MondayĀ
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 theyāre fine going to bed! Very rarely do they play up! Ohh thatās a good idea for Evie! Donāt blame you not buying another cot they cost a fortune and she wouldnāt be in it much longer anyway! There blind is from blinds2go! Itās a blackout one too! Thatās sounds lovely what youāre going to do! Canāt wait to see pictures!Ā
@EmJ3 Thank you xD yeah thatās a bit tricky with ages, before we moved here (2 bed) I did look on the nspcc guide to different genders bed sharing and it said they recommend after age 10 they have different rooms and Lily was 3 when we moved here so thought plenty of time! Plus we have a living room and dining room so if we were still here then lily could have the living room and we wouldnāt have a dining room (or small table in the corner) yeah itās lovely having them in with you! Lily was in with us til a year and Harry until 10 months but that was only because he was getting too big for his crib and we couldnāt fit his cot in our bedroom!Ā
@MickeyS aww she looks beautiful a proper little girl bless her! Iām glad her skin is a lot better it
@Mrs@MrsRees could you not have a private scan if you get really worried?Ā
I need everyoneās opinionĀ
so in January lily moved school as her old school had an inadequate ofsted rating there were a few other things that happened that made me want to move her but I think because I was stressed I over reacted and she was at her new school about 6 weeks before I pulled her out because of COVID she feels like she has no friends at her new school and just says itās okay Iāll Just sit on my own š where as at her old school everyone wanted to be her friend and she loved it! Iām now regretting moving her I Never felt like the new school was her school if you know what I mean I feel like I was taking her to someone elseās school, obv now sheās had all this time off she really really doesnāt want to go back and gets all upset when I tell her she has to go back at some point, would you move her back to her old school or would you leave her at her new school and hope she settles in eventually?Ā
Hmmmm thatās tricky @Mummytolilyandharry. I do think sheāll settle in to her new school but I can see why youāre thinking of sending her back to her old one. How bad was her old one? It depends on the reasons as to why you took her out. With an inadequate ofsted, there will be a lot if money and resources invested into it to make it better.Ā
I think itās wherever theyāll ge happiest personally but 6 weeks probably isnāt enough time for her to know!xxxx
@EmJ3 I think itās that sheās not made any friends š she cant name one friend at her new school, the old school wasnāt actually that bad! She enjoyed going I enjoyed taking her she was comfortable there, learning lots! It was when the inadequate ofsted came out that everyone seemed to be stressed (teachers and leaders) & Iāve spoken to a few of the mums recently that said itās a lot better now! I think I rushed into it š
@Mummytolilyandharry itās a natural reaction. A lot will be put into place to improve the school so if your gut is telling you to send her back, then with coronavirus, the kids wonāt even remember she left so itās very easy for her to slot back in!xx
@Mummytolilyandharry totally understand your decision but as EmJ says they will have put a lot of effort into improving the rating so sending her back if that's where she's going to be happiest is probably a good idea?
I also think ofsted is all well and good (personally) but doesn't really show the whole picture. My school was one of the top state schools in Scotland (top 10) for results and osted rated it excellent for everything, this was secondary though, but the bully culture etc was absolutely shocking. Plus kids will perform how they're going to perform and Lily sounds a bright little cookie ā¤ļø
@Mummytolilyandharry I would if I could but there's no private places for a scan for 70 miles round here and Wales your still only allowed to travel 5 milesĀ
Iām good emj! Thanks for asking, have a midwife appointment for bloods this afternoon so see whatās said then then have my booking appointment on Thursday over the phoneĀ
@MrsRees that's rubbish! We're the same up in Scotland except we've been 'strongly advised' not to go more than 5 miles. Thankfully my parents are 4.5 miles from us!
@Bobble321 glad you're well! I know it probably feels like it's been forever to you but I can't believe it's your booking appointment already, it'll be odd having it over the phone I bet!
@EmJ3 we're all good! Getting their bedroom carpet fitted just now so at some point this week we might get Jamie into his cot, he was 6 months yesterday and I was planning to keep him with us until 7 months but we're disturbing him when we go to bed! Last night he woke up and Evie sat up, shouted 'Shhhh Jim' and went straight back to sleep - couldn't help but laugh. How are all your tribe?Ā
Having a hard time at the minute really struggling with bad dreams and worried about symptoms and if I'm having enough of themĀ I'm. 7 weeks tomorrow time is going so slowlyĀ My main symptom is bloating maybe a bit of sore boobs if I wear a bra, I've been gagging a bit but I wonder if that's down to anxiety sometimes
My biggest fear at the minute is getting all the way to a 12 week scan and being told its a mmc especially with the current situation and having to go on my own if I miscarry I'd rather do it sooner than later you know I know I'm. Really negative but it's the only way I know how to protect my heartĀ
@Bobble321 a midwife app is exciting!!! @MrsRees I totally understand your negativity. I did it too but do you know what, youāve waited a long time to be pregnant so try to let the excitement in a little bit too!! I know itās about self preservation though!
Iām surprised your epu wont see you for an early scan- itās a bit mean with what youāve been through! You could always make something up to be seen!
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 Thatās so funny about Evie!! Itās going to be fun with them sharing a room!!!Ā
Matildaās in the travel cot now and itās so much better. Itās much smaller so she obviously didnāt like the space of the cot bed yet. I wish Iād have known before I bought it as it takes up a lot of space in our room!
matilda is 10 months old today!Ā It really has flown! Iām so broody for another but my hubby and my platelets (in my blood) say no!! Theyāre still too low!š¤£š¤£š¤£ xxxx
Iām nervous about it, Iām going to discuss smoking with her because I am really really struggling and feeling terrible mrsrees try not to worry your doing everything right? Have they point blank said no to early scan? Totally get the boob thing when the bra is on, like when I take it off they sensitive but itās defo lessened in the last couple of days but Iām bloated and feeling slightly nauseous just randomly, your worries are mine too I donāt want to get to that point then be told there something wrong, Iām gonna ask again about EPU but I hardly doubt thereāll be any movement on that cxx
When youāve experienced a loss, the first 12 weeks and sometimes further are really hard arenāt they. Iām so jealous of my friend at work, sheās got her scan today (12 week) and sheās just excited. She has had an earlier scan because her dates were wrong but I long for that kind of pregnancy again where everythingās rosey! Losing a baby previously robs you off that. I found my pregnancy so stressful and anxious with Matilda. I was a wreck but ladies, she was worth every tear and every worry!!! š¤š»š¤š»š¤š»Xxxx
Yeah it was a definete no with epu for a scan, it's really u fair as they promised me I could have one but bloody caronavirus has to ruin everything I just can't get it out of my head Thst something will go wrong, maybe it is just me protecting myself I dunno
Wow @EmJ3 10 months already that has flown by so quick I can't believe it Ā I feel very blessed that I've got to see these babies grow up š
Mrsrees I was like that with Rosie I think itās a self protection thing but Iād say once your past 12 weeks try and trust your body and enjoy it because my anxiety definetily ruined my pregnancy xx
@MrsRees I totally understand. With Evie I was a wreck until I saw her on the ultrasound screen, although she still manages to panic me now with some of her antics. I hope your scan flies in for you! The fact you have symptoms is a very good sign!
@Bobble321 how is your anxiety this time? I found I was a little better with Jamie because I knew my body could carry a healthy baby (and I puked constantly).
@EmJ3 how is she 10 months already! Time goes too quickly!
We put Evie into her big bed tonight. We're almost done decorating, I'm just waiting on some cloud decals for all around the room and some rainbow garland but I'm pretty impressed how it's come out! I was worried it would be a bit girly for Jamie!Ā
@Bobble321 yeah if I can get to a 12 weeks scan and all be OK then I think I will settle and enjoy it but still 5 weeks to get there so a bit more time of panicking yet
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 symptoms aren't so strong at the minute but I know that can be normal I love the room it looks really good and it's a good mix for both evie and Jamie it's hard to find a way to have a room for a boy and girl but I think you've done it wellĀ
