    Afternoon everyone,

    Had a busy weekend here. Friday I found out that the woman who hit my car has told her insurers that I hit her, I kinda wish I had just let her drive off now as she would have left the scene of an accident and if I had hit her she wouldn't have just driven off. Then my daughter had her 16th birthday party, it started to get loud, hubby was playing the decks out into the garden and I had to warn him a few times that he has to remember he is not playing them into a club and the noise will travel. He ended up telling me to go away in a not very nice manner. Next day he said he remembers nothing of it. Then yesterday was her actual birthday

    Back to nights tonight, I am very tired but I have one of my work BFFs working tonight,

    Keeping busy for the next few weeks/months. H2b's nan is currently in hospital fighting for her life, someone really must hate us! We've had enough to deal with this past year. She has sepsis and a weak heart along with parkinsons disease so they are unsure if she will pull through it. H2b is understandably a total wreak and keeps saying he now knows how I felt when my granddad had it last year. Trying so hard to be his rock but deep down I just want to break down. Idk how much more I can deal with. (sorry to vent on here all the time, only place I don't feel judged)

    Munchkin has his first hair cut on Friday :'(, I'm so not ready but it needs doing poor kids hair is curing into his ears and annoying him. He is also potty training early (per advisement from HV and GP) and is doing so well. He can now use a big boy cup and sits to the table nicely. Where has my baby gone?! Can't believe his is 18months old in 9 days. Why can't they stay little forever?

    Daddy had a fab idea today. 'Why don't we let the kids make and banner for the wedding?'. Paint everywhere! Eldest didn't want to do it so we did it with the youngest. Apparently he didn't get the memo that paint goes on paper, not in his hair, mouth and all over his body lol.

    I haven't been on here in a while, it seems very quiet. I've been busy with the end of term at the college where I work in the library, and with Joseph's music and signing classes. They're coming to an end for the term soon. I've also just started a new flute pupil, only 6 so we'll see how she gets on. My other pupil passed his grade 3 last month, but we still haven't had the certificate and feedback sheet so I'm going to have to chase that I think. Joseph will be going for physio next month as he's 14 months and not yet trying to stand, not evening trying to pull himself up. He's not crawling either but I don't think they're bothered about that as not all babies do crawl. He does a shuffle instead by lying on his tummy and pulling himself along with his arms. He only uses his legs to push when he absolutely has to. His head size is off the chart, so definitely taking after my husband, who also has a big head and was slow on gross motor skills. They're sending Joseph to the paediatrician as well, I'm just hoping they don't want to do scans like they sometimes do for large heads, as it's a big deal for such a young child. Maybe when he's older and understands that he has to lie still for special photos. I think my husband had a scan but now with my husband's history it might be different.

    Hospital have said h2b's nan is better today. There not really saying much atm as don't want to get our hopes up. Tbh after going through it all before i'm not listening to a word they say. They said my granddad wouldn't make bonfire night last year and he's now walking again! (another thing they said he wouldn't do).

    Thanks ladies. Korey-James's can now have most foods again :D Ice cream is still a big no no and very limited amounts of other foods but the more he has of them the higher the limit can go.
    We are still having a lot of tummy problems with him and now have an appointment to see a tummy and gut specialist next month to see what tests he needs. All we know at the moment is that there is certainly something wrong with his tummy and guts and he will most likely need to have the camera. They are more concerned now because he will go 2 weeks without eating a thing and is ill the whole time. This happens every month without fail. They did one test and it come back to say it wasn't a bug causing the problem and there was blood present (won't go into to much detail coz its gross).

    My friend had the same problem with her son regarding the standing etc. His physio has brought him on by miles, with there help he is now standing and walking. Fingers crossed everything goes ok for him bless him. They sure know how to keep us on our toes!

    The poor boy, it must be horrible for him, and you. I hate it when Joseph is poorly and not himself, and to have that every month must be awful. I get so anxious if Joseph doesn't eat, even though he's gaining weight beautifully, as I don't want him to be hungry. I hope they find out what's wrong with Korey-James soon so they can sort it out.

    It's horrid, all he does is sleep, scream or just wants cuddles and that's just not him. He is normally extremely hyper. He's been extremely clingy today and hasn't been able to get comfy the past 3 nights, screaming the second he cant see me so we are just waiting for his next flare up now. As horrible as it sounds I'm hoping he is having a flare up when we have the appointment so they can see how bad he gets. Thank you so do we.

    Morning everyone. Hope you are all well.

    H2b's nan is a lot better than she was when she was rushed in. The sepsis is now under control and they have found the infection (and water) on her lungs. She is now out of bed and sitting in a chair for a good part of the day. She keeps asking for the baby (Korey-James) but unfortunately we are not allowed to take him while she in the high dependency ward so we are going to make her a card with some pictures of the boys on.

    Day of waiting in today for yet more parcels. Hoping the school uniform comes today so we can get it all labelled and in eldest draws ready for September.

    Nice one Michelle. Always good to get a bargain like that.

    I slept for 8 hours last night, was a tad broken but not much. Never happens. Now I'm trying to find motivation to do stuff. I have hoovered and done a quick tidy up and put laundry on, but still sat here in pjs and a cuppa.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Monday I have a nice early start, on the 0547 boat as need to be in London for 0815. Then staying overnight as its a two day course we are on. The company doing the course has booked us into a nice hotel, I'm happy with good old tr@v3l0dge but nope, they've given us Durr@nt5. Hubby was saying how we shall be out on the town in the evening, me don't think so, think we shall all be curled up in bed!

    I'm so emotional today. My mum mentioned looking at a nursery and I broke down. Korey-james has just had his first hair cut and although he loved it, I hated every second and had to fake a smile so he didn't get upset. He looks so cute with his new hair cut tho, so glad we got it done :D

    Back on the diet today, I've gained half a stone :'(. I blame the comfort eating lol.

    Bm's been told her baby could be here soon! She is due in 5 weeks but she has all the signs that she is going to come a lot sooner. (according to the me) I'm so excited.

    My weight is finally back down to a healthy level. I'm still 3.5 kilos over where I was before I got pregnant, but at least I'm no longer overweight. I'm away with choir with weekend, we're doing a concert in Sherbourne in Dorset, so I might relax for the weekend. Then back to it, we're going to visit family in Northumberland end of August, my aim is to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight by then. I'm full of cold at the moment, with a bit of a temperature as well, so definitely comfort eating, especially as I didn't sleep well last night (although Joseph only woke twice).

    I've got to wait in on Monday morning for the health visitor, frustrating as I'd booked two days leave to have time to myself while Joseph is in nursery. Otherwise it would have had to wait until Thursday as my parents are visiting Monday night to Wednesday morning. He's been referred to the community paediatricians because of his head size and linked slow development of his gross motor skills, and apparently they want a couple of checks done first. I can see why they want to be thorough, but it is annoying as he's exactly the same as his dad who is absolutely fine now.

    Hello all,

    Not been on, I have had a busy few weeks and not been feeling myself

    My stomach is still not good. I've now been referred to a dietitian it's hard. Any exercise is tough as my stomach just does somersaults and I am physically sick now.

    I had my hen party, it was brilliant. I head that my aunt wanted to get me l plates etc which I didn't want. I didn't know but my mom stepped in and took over that part for me. She gave me her veil to wear. It felt lovely to wear her veil that she wore on her wedding day 30 years ago (almost to he day!)

    Hope everyone is ok xx

    Tiff I hope his nan starts to pick up now and you can take your son to see her xx

    Morning all!

    Grand total of an hours sleep early hours this morning. Korey-James is having a flare up again. Normally he just sleeps all the time but last night was just plain awful. Two different pain killers, teething gel (gutting 4 teeth at once!) and co sleeping and all he did was scream and make himself sick :(. We are shattered!

    H2b's nan is now in heart failure :'( not sure what this means recovery wise but its not looking good. She is seeing thing's again and keeps talking about mice coming and taking her away, amongst other things :/

    Glad they have got the ball rolling for you Emily. Everything crossed the dietician can help you! So glad you had a great hen do.

    Congrats on your weight Elinor. Hope everything goes well with Joseph.

    Starting my exercise today. I finally don't give a stuff what people walking past the flat think! I'm Korey-James will join in and hopefully it will help him sleep.

    I know it's quite scary how quick its coming up. At the choir I sing at the treasurer gets confused with me and the lady i sit next to (we have the same surname!) so the solution for him is for me to change my name on their records early so i am already Mrs Price there! quite scary!! Just glad that we don't have any concerts before the wedding as I don't want it printed until after the wedding. The first one is actually on the wedding day so it's quite cute that on the day of the wedding my new name will be published in the program even though I wont be there :)

    Have been doing cub stuff all morning and will be all afternoon at this rate trying to sort this camp. Just really frustrated. I told them 12 months ago that i wont be doing anything for it as it is 3 weeks before my wedding but i found out last night that final payment is due this week and no parents have been asked for the balance. I cant ask for it as I dont even know how much we are charging them??!!!

    Just done dinner and found a cheesecake with a note on it saying 'Eat me! I don't care if your the size of a house, I will still love you and still marry you xxx'
    Turn it over for it to says 'Ps. would help if you wasn't tho, you wouldn't fit in the church :P'. He certainly knows how to cheer me up. I was a good girl and shared it with Korey-James. By sharing I mean he had some and then if I took to long to put the fork in my mouth he would rob it off min haha.

    Congratulations Mrs Wade. Wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy!

    My weeks just gone from bad to worse but hey guess I should be used to it by now! Got a call off the hospital saying my nan had had a stroke and they couldn't get hold of her next of kin but found my number in her phone. Not the sort of phone call you want to be making to your grandfather who is still recovering :'(. She is ok, very confused, doesn't know where she is or who she is but she can remember her family and husband. She just keeps repeating is our Tiffany ok? bless her.

    Planning on helping mum decorate her house and tidy the garden up to keep busy and hopefully keep my mind off everything. Got a letter from some mental health person yesterday (only found it today), they want to talk about my autism and Asperger's and try me on some medication. Not happening in a million years!, i'd rather talk way too much, annoy people and have melt downs, then be totally numb and be a heartless cow thank you.

    Sorry hopefully my posts will be more positive soon!! I know it must be getting annoying and boring by now. It helps me posting it somewhere where no one knows me personally (if that makes sense)
