Beenie, fab the HV stuck up for you. Hope you can get something sorted and agree the housing lady was being absolutely inappropriate. We'll all rooting for you, even if you feel like you don't have any help/support .

What Aless said

*wells up* Thanks guys
Am at docs in the morning, not sure what to think of the "diagnosis" from the questionnaire, it wasn't exactly new news, i've been thinking it for a while but how do i tell the difference between that and just being fed up cos of the mess that has been my life since i was 19w pregnant?! I have all the signs even if they weren't on that questionnaire. I'm so angry that my ex has single handedly managed to ruin what should have been a special time... But then again - it wasn't exactly single handed as my neighbours/sister/mother have all contributed too.. But all of those issues wouldn't be really issues if i had him.

Weezl i had a hb too (although, a last minute one, which i'm glad about cos i might have overthunk it like i do with most things if i'd known sooner)

Whydy'ask?

A combination of nerdly curiosity and my neverending desire to get my home water birth the next time

SS, ooo that's really interesting re: mental illness. I love nerdy facts like that. Wonder why the difference in UK vs. Europe? DO the Brits stoop more or something?

Honestly, I have no idea, although I have an exceptionally nerdly theory related to language and metaphor played out in the bodily arena. Think of all the English-language metaphors related to the back and the word back - people put your back up, for one. But in German you experience extreme emotions (in linguistic terms) in your belly, or in your digestive system in general.

The tops of my feet are really itchy. They get so about this time every day. Nothing is touching them. I know itchy feet-tops is bad in pregnancy - is it okay in normal everyday life?

Are your feet getting hot? Are you wearing uncomfortable tights? Are you used to being barefoot or in slippers at home? Or are you getting literal itchy feet to go home to your boy (see above )?

MFD, are you sitting a lot in an office chair? Could it be blood pooling down there, not enough to swell your ankles, but enough to get sensation in your feet? Maybe some sort of excersise for your feetsies would help? Or some food doctor spray (just cos its lush).

Dinner is on, house is once again reasonably tidy (for now). Remind me that DS1 has anchor boys tonight, I always forget because it's right when Amber gets ready for bed.

BeenieCat

HO just rang, she said she went next door.

The girl next door had said she is "sleep deprived" (OH!!!! You mean like i f*cking was when i had a newborn and had no one to share the night feeds with??) and so tries to grab sleep during the day and therefore doesn't make noise.

I said "well that's a lie"
She said "well i can't call her a liar"
I said "well i can!! Unless she sleeps through Rihanna playing full blast??"

She said there's a TV nearish to the adjoining wall and regarding my theory that the thunder noise was a war type game, she said there was a console but unplugged and girl said they were repairing it for her dad and not using it.

LIES!!!!!!!!

Anyway, we'll see how it goes. :mad:

BeenieCat

Anyway, they've driven me to drink. :rotfl:

Nah i'm having a bottle of pear cider, it's nice! Shame there's not enough of it to get me drunk :rotfl:.
Am having a chow mein tonight courtesy of Asda chillers. With prawn toast and satays.
That's because DS mate is here for tea and he ONLY eats chicken nuggets & chips and i cba eating that. (As if you'd let your kid dictate he eats junk every day?) And he eats NO veg, seriously. Not one!! I can't get over that. He'd be getting starved if he were mine.

Beenie, have EH not recorded it?

My cheese sauce looks a bit like latex paint (you know, the kink stuff), so dinner may be interesting. The tesco cheese so doesn't work....

No tights, my feet are hot but nothing covering the itchy bit. I am wearing shoes but they are nowhere near the itchy bit.

I am sat in an office chair and it could be pooling I guess, seeing as it is happening in the afternoon each day.

I am definitely itching to be home with my boy! And on that note I think I might p1ss off early, tomorrow is Thursday after all (and I will be working at home this evening )

Was busy doing the usual million and one jobs to get the boys out to school this morning and I noticed Charlotte had vanished. Went into the hall and she was up on the landing. I asked what she was doing and she said proudly "I've just been for a wee all my myself" and then added "and I washed my hands as well" :rotfl:It's the first time she's gone up by herself and managed with her clothes.

Can you send Charlotte here to help train Henry :rotfl:...

back from clinic and William is now 17lbs 6ozs and 19 weeks which is about 7 ozs lighter than Henry was at the same time..... then we went to the park and OH met us to bring us home, washing in from the line and need to sort LO's bag for tomorrow at nursery... Ooo 4hrs to myself what shall I do :think: oh yeah got to go for smear!!(sorry TMI) what an exciting life!!!

It's red with white polka dots, so no ditsy flowers in sight! One review on the Kiddicare website said she was using it for her son and it looks unisex enough once he was in it! They are dear though and don't seem to have made it to the second hand market yet!
