Do you have many more days to work before you are going to be a mummy of 2 ??

10 more days for me, only 3 of them are my long commute away though (3 hrs and 4 miles walking per day) really glad to lose that part, cos It wipes me out now for the next 2 days and fergie gets a bad deal mummy-wise xxx

caz, glad you had a nice day out, and I think him moving out would probably be for the best till you get your head round everything

YEAH for Erin walking !! You will have fun now

aww weezl, that sounds awful, I thought my 1 hr drive and 15 mins walk was bad. I couldnt do yours even if i wasnt pregnant !! You will def be glad to stop that one !!

got-it-spend-it

Morning folks :j
Was very worried about Henry this morning as he didn't seem to be able to keep any milk down when I fed him at 6am . He has since had a 9am feed and seems fine though, so who knows .

We're off to see great nana and grandad later, as well as my mum and brother, which is always good! Might go for a wander this morning but it is so icy out, I'm feeling a bit CBA at the moment.

Weezl- that is some mammoth commute. Did you used to do that everyday before you had Fergie? Glad you've only got three days left of doing it though.

MM- enjoy your last 8 days off. I'm sure you'll really make the most of them.

Yay for Erin walking Caz!

PP- I am sure you will love your Mei Tai!

E45 cream...works straight away. mine are wrecked from all the washing and i always forget to buy rubber gloves.

was bidding on some annabel karmel food trays on ebay...then i realised i was actually bidding more than what they cost in asda:eek: luckily someone had bid more!! :T

ooh K is awake. time for a bottle


morning everyone!!!!

cazscoob

not sure if we will have a party maybe just a picnic tea or something with family, i dont think she would like a party with a lot of people as she is a mummys girl and doesnt like a fuss!

i cannot imagine having 3 kids, never mind 7 thinking about another one. I really admire you for havng the patience and time for each of them. I think i would be in a mental home. lol

I'm patient with no-one but my girls :rotfl:I'm thinking they are growing up now and a baby is all about timing. If in the forseeable future we remain secure, both financially and relationship wise, then it is an option we will likely pursue.

For what it's worth, I never wanted kids and after each one, never wanted anymore. I think i've done a decent 'job', so don't fear anymore. In fact it's a nice idea if still a little scary.

Wrong of you to deny Lucy???

What a strange way to look at it.


I am certainly glad that my husband (who had 3 boys already) didn't just decide to have children with me because it would be 'wrong to deny me children'. In fact, I would find that incredibly insulting.

I apologise if I have picked up on a minor point or a turn of phrase and turned things around but personally I would rather be without than be given a child 'out of duty'.

Aye, I think it's been turned around as you may not have seen previous posts where I said i'd like more children.

My point with this post, was that if Lucy wanted children and I didn't, we may not last too long. Not because we don't want to be together, but because naturally a female is going to want children. Most do and Lucy is no different.

As i'm easy either way - I want more children, but wouldn't pressurise Lucy and end the relationship if she didn't, then it's an option for the future. I see relationships as full of compromises, and this is one thing i'm very compromisable on. If she said tonight, let's have a baby, then i'd likely talk with her explaining I felt it was too early, but in a few months...who knows. I certainly wouldn't forsake my happiness, but i'm open to the idea and i'd love any children from my relationship with Lucy, as much as I adore my girls I already have. It's all about timing, I feel 36 going on 21, mentally and physically.

From reading MOTM's post, I would imagine that you have picked this up and turned it around to be honest. I don't think he said he would "give her a child out of duty", but I can certainly understand that with 7 children already, he is not desperate for any more. However, if he loves her and she wants a child, then I think it's quite a selfless act. It in no way implies that he would not want or love the child, just that he could live without it, but would let Lucy make the decision.

I'm going to hire you as my spokeslady, as you put it so much better than I could.:T

I know when I got my BFP for Ed because I was taking Chris to a special event at Martin Mere so the date is on the photos - I'd have to check but I think it was 29th Sept 08. I knew it was gonna be pos because I couldn't face eating my welsh cakes - I'd never turn down a welsh cake unless suffering morning sickness!!
my Chris BFP was a bank holiday in may so could prob work it out or knowing me I'll still have my 2006 diary with it written in god that day was scary!!

ps. pram gone too high, I'm "doing a Tia" being really stingy :cool: I checked and some have sold for <£60 so I'm going for £75 inc p&p, I'd like it for april so plenty time to get one
