Cornertime instead of spankings again :)



We’ve had a very busy time again, not all was good about it though. But then again, we definitely have awesome news too. I’ll try to be concise … haha, yeah, as if.

My very sweet parents-in-law were here. They have had time for us, and in addition they have helped redecorating one of the rooms (as mentioned in my last post). We had so much time to talk and reconnect. Wonderful. They have made us so absolutely happy with their visit and I miss them more than I can say, and since I am somehow getting worse at saying good-byes lately, Tilda and I did not bring them to the airport. It was hard enough seeing them leave, but making a departure a prolonged experience is too sad atm. I do feel guilty because at other times I would have enjoyed the other hour being with them, but currently that would shake me up too much. I love them both, and especially with my mother-in-law talking is so easy and we have this connection. Seeing them leave again was so hard this time.




The very sad part of the last two weeks was that we have lost two friends of the family within three days. One of the two was much closer to me than the other one, but my parents are devastated about both, and this has created a lot of sadness here. For me, especially the loss of this one friend of the family is hard to endure, because he has been such a wonderful and charming man, and he has always been so full of life, as if he was overflowing with it. Imagine one who is close to you and makes you laugh in the best ways when he is there. That’s him. He was so interested in people and made you feel important and cherished, just because he talked to you. This is gone. I am sorry that I mention all this here, but seeing him and another friend go is something I still have to get my head around. We had hoped that he would be better, not lose his life. :(  Seeing him go also made the time with my parents-in-law even more special, also because they caught me in some of the sad moments. However this is not meant to be a down-post!





When good news come
I am glad that my mother- and father-in-law were here. They are so lovable and sweet, and in a week when not all was as good as we had wished, having them was the best that could happen. Both of them were there and I could simply hug them, which is wonderful. Maybe I am needy, whatever, but that I had hubby, Tilda, mil and fil to hug any time I wanted to, was the best that could happen. Some of you might know that I am definitely into hugging, and currently so much more than ever.
Apart from the not so awesome part, we do have all reason to be happy. We have good news, like in the best news, too. We are going to have our second baby! :) When you read this, I am in my tenth week! 




The beginning of the second trimester is not far away and just like with Tilda, I simply could not wait till the twelfth week to tell everybody. The good news needed to get out, as I have been close to bursting for several weeks by now.
My parents-in-law learned the day they arrived that they’d be grandparents again. :) I wanted to tell them, face to face, urgently, this couldn’t wait! It was so lovely, they have been as happy as can be, and also grateful because they got to know early and not on the phone. This has been so much better.





No more spankings … boo boo boo
With baby growing in me, I am out of the spankings again. :( Not good. When we started them again, life became so much easier for us here. I do silly things, get a spanking, won’t do it again, feel better, end of story. Now, keeping up discipline is tricky. I have had a few moments over the last weeks which would have caused a sore bum. I’d have appreciated that. Seriously, not the pain, but the feeling that I am really held accountable and being able to get over it so easily by being spanked. 

Instead I get loss of privileges now, and lots of corner time lately. I mean, after being spanked, corner time is good to come back, to think. But when you are a little fidgety and have no spanking, then corner time sucks big style. Since I am currently in my third month and feeling awesome once I get up (not too much morning sickness!!), I can still stand while facing the wall. Hooray! :) Well, this is not like a winner situation, because corner time is still boring. However, I like the idea that I am able to stand. Last year when I got corner time, I was sitting on a chair because my bump was a wee bit heavy towards the end and my ankles were swollen and standing quietly became more of a punishment than anything else. I hope I’ll be better than last year all in all. I think in some weeks back then hubby must have felt as if he was punished by having me around him, and last week I have not left a good impression either.

I mean, with no spankings in sight, (of course) I got a little sassy, against my will. I didn’t mean to, and it is in my/our best interest if I behave. Well, I didn’t, so hubby restricted my computer time. … I had no better question to ask if I could lend his language recognition software from his office, so that I could dictate everything I couldn’t write down myself because I wasn’t allowed to. …This is the wrong question, let me tell you, it is the wrong one! Hubby was speechless at first and I found myself in the corner faster than I could comprehend. Either hubby is rather quick with corner time these days, or I am really bad lately. Dunno, I want to be good for him, though. Besides, I can claim being hormonal and having a fuzzy brain as an excuse. :)


Fuzzy brain and her key
Before I forget it again… maybe I feel physically awesome (sleep is an issue though), mentally I have felt for weeks like I am forgetting everything and being unable to focus. Much too early, I thought that would happen later!
Oh yes, and accordingly I have been so confused that I lost my front door key. Maybe it happened while shopping, but how am I supposed to know. … You may guess now who was less amused than I. Yes, right, hubby was not happy about the lost key. So, we got a new lock for the front door, and I had effectively been grounded for the last weekend. My caring Master left me the choice, either I wouldn’t use the computer till Monday, or I wouldn’t have a key. Easy choice. :) Seriously, hubby was not really annoyed, he said as long as our address is not on a lost key, all will be fine. I mean, it did not stop him from having the lock replaced, but he knows that I lost the key by accident. He has more foresight in these things than I will ever have. I know that because I do stupid things without wanting too, like opening the front door, walking into the house, putting Tilda down, and then forgetting to close the front door for another hour! Happened this morning and I even passed the open door at least two times and did not notice.

Hammock time
Like last year, I have hammock time! It was my favourite place with Tilda and I could sleep better there than in any other place. I’ll have far less time for my hammock this year, but we have good weather currently and Tilda’s play pen has been outside on two days, so that we could chatter while I was in my hammock and she played next to me. Summer, we are prepared for you!


Wishing you all a wonderful week!

    1. Hi Willie, thank you! :) Yes, the title was pretty obvious. I have been more enigmatic with titles in the past, but currently I am more like relieved when I do not forget in mid-sentence what I wanted to write… or say. We are so happy here about baby, and this time I have had less doubts that all will be fine. I love that Tilda will be a big sister and will have a brother or a sister to play with. :)

      Love

  2. Congratulations!!! so exciting:) My little ones are 17 months apart and they are best friends. They always have one another to play with. Sorry about no spankings:/ We weren't doing DD yet during my pregnancies but we did do some erotic hand spankings while pregnant but that is a personal choice.

    1. Hi Lillyanna, thank you! 17 months apart sounds fantastic, I like that your children always have one another to play with. I miss the spankings, they are something that has always helped us. Now it has been corner time, which is good because I do try hard not to get that. Actually I feel confident enough to have good girl spankings, but hubby wouldn’t want to hear any of it. I guess he is right, just to make sure. :)

      hugs

  3. Congratulations! I'm so pleased for you all. Ok, you just got back into the swing of spanking and now its back to the corner, never mind, there are years ahead for it and now you can concentrate on looking after yourself.
    Enjoy your hammock time.
    Hugs

    1. Hi DF, you are absolutely right, there will be many years ahead, full of spankings. :) Sounds comforting, although not having spankings for another year really is a little bit frustrating. So, I’ll be extra good, of course, to avoid the corner. Has not always worked so far… :)
      We had few days with good enough weather for a little hammock time, but this summer will see Tilda and me in it a lot.

      hugs

  4. Congratulations to you both! That is fantastic news, I'm so happy for you :) The spankings will return. Enjoy your hammock time in the meantime.

    So glad you had such a wonderful time with your in laws and that you could share your news with them in person. Very sorry to hear of your losses. Goodness, life has been a mixture for you recently hasn't it.

    Hugs

    1. Hi Roz, thank you, we are so happy here because baby news are the best. :) The hammock will be my place of choice whenever possible, and it doesn’t even have to be alone. Tilda enjoys that too, well the sensation wears off again after a short while, but she enjoys swinging in it.
      I am happy about the time we had with my in laws, and telling them in person that they’d be grandparents again was absolutely awesome. They were so happy when they heard. Wonderful. But seeing them go again was too hard this time. I don’t want to see them leave after a few days, I’d love to have them closer by all in all. So, once in a while the topic of moving back to the UK comes up, but this is not likely to happen, because of hubby’s business here. Besides, I wouldn’t survive living without my best friend either. It seems we can’t have it all. :)

      hugs

  5. HI Nina, I am so glad that the news is out!! For the past few weeks I have been waiting and hoping all was well. Congratulations to you both and special hugs for Tilda. I quite like corner time myself, it's not much of a punishment. it makes me feel very in the zone somehow.lol. Hope your pregnancy is a smooth one
    much love Jan,xx

    1. Hi Jan, it was so hard to keep my mouth shut for that long. :) And I feel great, the baby is doing fine, growing, and within the next two weeks I can’t hide my bump any longer. I am not wearing tight clothes, because they would make me look fat at the moment, but in another month I sure will and hopefully nobody will just think that I overate (lol, maybe I did a little). :)
      I like corner time better when it is my quiet time after a spanking. It is something that gives me the time to collect myself, to sort things out again, to calm down. As a punishment without the spanking it is much harder for me. But it does help, although it is pretty boring for me then. So, I can only agree with you, it does put me in my place too. Wish I could draw pictures while waiting in the corner. :) So far the baby is fine and I hope the pregnancy goes on like that. I have been thinking about your dil and grandbaby and keep sending positive thoughts. I hope so much that all will be good for both of them!

      hugs and love (from Tilda too!)

  6. Congratulations.

    Sorry about your losses, they are never easy but at least you had lots of support during the first few days of learning the news.

    Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and a wonderful hammock time summer.

    1. Hi Sunny, thank you. I am so grateful for the support we got from my in laws. I think having them here in that time was the best that could happen to me because in laws and Tilda were a good distraction. We are waiting for the amazing summer weather and I’ll definitely be in my cozy place in the hammock then. So far all is well, but I tend to indulge a little too much in food.

      hugs

  7. Hi Nina, :) What WONDERFUL news!! How exciting and I am sure that sweet little Tilda will be a lovely big sister. Congratulations! <3

    I'm sorry about your family losses- but I am very glad that you had your in-laws there at the time to offer their love and support.

    Sorry about the "no spanking zone" but it sure is a wonderful reason for it. A bottom break is not a bad thing. LOL! I am sure that your hubby will be creative in helping you along, in the coming months.

    Enjoy that hammock- and Tilda's joy from her playpen. Sounds lovely. It is beautiful here where I am now. I wheeled Mom outside yesterday for a little while and I think that she enjoyed it- well, hard to tell, but If she could, she would have. Anyway it was so pretty out. The fresh air is good for us all. Swing away, as you listen to happy Tilda squeals. Many hugs and a Tilda squeeze too,

    <3 Katie

    1. Hi Katie, thank you, I love the idea of Tilda and baby growing up together! And telling my in laws in person the good news was wonderful. And we were glad to have their support in this time just as much.
      The ‘no spanking zone’ is not my favourite, but you are so right, it is for the best of reasons. Oh yes, hubby can be (too) creative when it comes to alternatives for a spanking. So, in a way, the corner is still the best, because he might also restrict computer time or give me earlier bedtimes. Eeww, I better be good! We will enjoy our time outside endlessly, once the weather warms up again. :) I am glad that you had great weather and could take your Mom outside for a while. I am so sure she does feel it. It is something that will create joy for her. I am still hoping for better news about your mom, and I am sure she knows that you are there for her.

      hugs and love

  8. What awesome news! Doing my happy dance for you Nina! Congratulations!

    So sorry for your family losses but happy you had your in-laws for comfort and support.

    Wishing you lots of hammock time and Tilda lots of playpen time. Please give Tilda hugs and tummy tickles from auntie Cat. Sending lots of prayers and positive energy for a easy pregnancy.

    1. Hi Cat, thank you! We are so happy about the good news, and my in-laws were lovely in a situation like ours, this was mixed, happy and sad at the same time, but I loved to tell my in-laws face to face about baby. They were so happy! We had a period of too cold days here, but right this weekend it is getting warmer, so if it is warm enough during the weekend, I’ll be in my hammock and Tilda will be in her playpen. We absolutely need a break, because we had busy days lately. I’ve given Tilda lots of hugs and tummy tickles from you. She loves that! :) Thank you for your prayers and positive energy. Everything is as good as can be, I do not really have problems. If anything, I cannot sleep at night, and I have cravings for spicy food, and in the morning I have to be careful what I eat, but that's manageable for me.

      hugs

  9. Oh sweet Nina I am so very happy for you! The wee ones will be close. I so enjoyed when mine were little and so much cuddle time!
    I am sorry about the losses. That is never easy! Never. However I'm glad that your in laws were there for support and hugs!

    1. Hi Minelle, thank you so much. I love that Tilda and baby will be close and can play together. I love doing things with Tilda, having two little ones sounds wonderful for me. But I do know that I will have less time. Well, I am not bothered by that, and can’t wait for more children laughing in our house. :)
      My in-laws were such a great support when they were here. I am glad that they were with us at that time, and giving them the good news was so wonderful. Seeing them leave was so hard for me.

  10. Nina,
    First and foremost, congratulations! That is great news for you and your growing family. Another chapter in life. As others have mentioned sorry about the family losses.
    As far as no spankings, looks like corner time is being enforced. I believe corner time is a tool not utilized enough. It always seems to get the point across just as well when spanking is not an option. Even corner time comes with degrees; the question is to what level does your husband enforce it.

    1. Hi Enzo, thank you. The family losses were hard to cope with, but I am glad that my in-laws were with us then. You are right about corner time. It comes in degrees, depending on what I did. But since I do not like it too much, I try to be good.

      hugs

      Nina
