~February & March Mummies and Babies~

I can only echo what Hopes said, you don't need to apologize, that's what we're all here for. I wish one of us could help you more. Hopefully the doctor can be of some help x

 

[Msclaireypants]

I know it's horrible to say, but sometimes I hate being a stepmum I really do

 

[HopesDreams]

I can imagine it's pretty hard work Clairey, especially when Billy isn't there a lot of the time.

 

[Msclaireypants]

It's mostly annoying because I'm the only one that drives, Billy, Dylan's mum and stepdad don't and all just assume I'm fine being a taxi!

It's okay for Billy, he's away getting treated to a slap up meal by his work!

Dylan's off school cause he's got an absess or however you spell it, I've had him at emergency dentist at 9am, had tears and screaming as dentist couldn't pull his tooth out after two jags so he's been referred to hospital for it

Blah blah blah is how I feel today lol

 

[HopesDreams]

I'd just say no to a few lifts. If you were away for a few weeks they'd have to make it work without you. I'm a twisted wee sod though when I think people are taking advantage.

 

[Msclaireypants]

I know, I'm such a soft touch. I'm dropping him at his mums work later to save her getting the bus to mines!

Anyhoo my poor Spencer's gum is bleeding where the tooth is coming through I take it that's normal? It's a big thing so I suppose it's to be expected x

 

[HopesDreams]

Yeah, apparently it's normal. Something has to give way for those pegs.

Harry's still gummy with no sign of them popping through! Jack cut his first around this age so he better get started lol.

He's also on a milk strike! His 9.30 & 2.30 bottles just haven't happened since Sunday?! I remember Jack dropping the morning on at 9 months for a snack which i'm happy for Harry to do but i still want him to drink a fair amount of milk. Very annoying! x

 

[HopesDreams]

Claire, O is still operating on gums too. He has spates of teething but then nothing happens. I bet he'll still be on gums at 1!

 

[Msclaireypants]

They'll all come through at once, Spencer's first only came through a week ago and now he's on his second.

Enjoy not being bitten!

Just feel like I'm spiraling downwards I'm so bloody upset all the time and feel bad on S but I can't help it. Got another dr app this week but really can't see how anything will help me. Sorry for being so depressing lately x

I know exactly how u feel Diane, I'm waiting to see the gp now but I know what's going to happen, he'll up the meds, doesn't solve the problem tho. Have u got support in real life? as wonderful as everyone is on here talking to someone face to face will always help. I know it's easier to say than see but it won't be this way forever, keep going and you'll get there!

 

[talulahgosh]

We have a mouthful of teeth, six or seven I think. He won't let me peek anymore.

 

[talulahgosh]

And diane. I think of you so often. I had some dark days and I wish I could tell you what can make things better or brighter, just know that things can get better. Hang in there. I hope the service providers around you are helpful. Is there a perinatal mental health team you can acess? GPs are wonderful, but they are just that, general practicioners, not specialists. Be kind to yourself.

You too, kat.

[HopesDreams]

Can someone please explain to O that while he feels like he's now the big man in the big picture he CANNOT stand on his 2 feet without holding onto something or someone spotting him. The dramatic moments we have had today because I dare to put my hand behind him or grab him when tumbles.
While I've never experienced depression of any kind myself, I've grown up with my mum & brother who both suffer from depression. Kat is right, face to face help is much better. I can see a real difference in my mum when she gets that help. I hope you girls get exactly what you need. xxxxxxx

 

[talulahgosh]

Ahhh, E has swiped one of my baby secret santa gifts! Little pickle.

 

[clairebear22]

Harry plats boo by himself! (see facebook for evidence ) and I think he's trying to clap too x

 

[clairebear22]

PMM, Harry said 'mama', not to me but he said it!

 

[Msclaireypants]

Ah! Well done Harry!

 

[kat1988]

well done Harry! Drs switched my medication as I'm getting terrible side effects from what I'm on now, I'm not looking forward to getting the shakes 2mrw tho :/

on the plus side Eastenders!

 

[Msclaireypants]

Having a shocking night with Spencer ! House is worse than a tip and I have no chocolate left. I've yet to decide which is worse. I tend to sway towards the chocolate situation...
