cossie I hope your migraine is clearing, my headaches were bad around this point with my first born, I didn’t realise but I was actually hospitalised at 15 weeks last time and again this time, pretty creepy! Really hope it eases for you soon. Also here here to mums! I’m with you on that, god I’d be lost without my mum when I’m ill
mrs cookie, sounds like all should go well with potty training but don’t worry if it doesn’t work in my job I’ve seen more children regress from starting too soon than I can even remember, honestly just go with the flow, I tried numerous times with my son With no such luck, tried everything, stories, books, sticker charts, a dolly with a potty, nothing worked, then about 3 weeks after his 3rd birthday he said no more pants so I took them off, he took himself to the bathroom so I followed he asked for a wee so I sat him on the toilet and he did it, should have seen my face, think my jaw hit the floor, all that effort I went to, for nothing lol because in the end he did it on his own.
lander I hope your scan goes well tomorrow, very exciting! I’m with you on the gender front we have all boys (5) on my partners side, apart from 1 girl who’s just turned 7 and when I said the other week we weren’t sure on the sex still, my partners mum literally said “well let’s hope it’s a girl, we’ve got enough boys already we don’t want anymore, we need a girl!” She’s coming over tomorrow and I literally want to birch slap her lol, she makes no effort with Toby as it is, if we find out it’s a girl she needn’t think she can make an effort with one and not the other! Don’t understand why families feel the need to be so darn awful sometimes, I agree with you that healthy is all that should matter, the sex of the baby is pretty irrelevant. Enjoy every second of tomorrow at your scan x please let us know, I’ll keep my eyes peeled
We are off to Southend tomorrow as it’s the last day that adventure island is open, and our son has begged us to take him for one last go on the rides oh and his obsessed with boom bangs (fireworks) and they have a firework display tomorrow to! But will be weird sitting and watching from the side lines instead of joining in all the fun lol, I guess I’ll just have to take loads of pictures and watch the excitement with my feet firmly on the ground lol.
Anyone else finding their immune systems naff! Omg I never get this ill, I’ve worked with children for the past 12 years so have a blooming tough immune system normally but my god at the moment I seem to get over one thing and get another. Just got over laryngitis and now I feel like I have a cold and I’ve started coughing again, like seriously I need a break from being ill lol
I'll try taking a picture later if I remember! I know what you mean, I see stories over on the TTC threads and seeing so many women struggle I feel incredibly lucky that it has been so easy for us both times. Pregnancy itself hasn't been easy but for a healthy baby at the end of it I'll take the difficult pregnancy!
