You're not the only one - although it would only be number three for me (can't believe you're contemplating a tenth :eek: have you had 10 pregnancies or do you have twins etc if you don't mind me asking?) Jake is only 5 weeks and I can't believe I'm already thinking about when to start trying again - especially after 2 c-sections and Jake being prem and poorly when he was born! I'd like a pink one this time please, if anyone's listening. Maybe if you end up with a pink and me a blue we can swap Pigpen :rotfl:

No they are all individual babies.. though 2 of them had been twins but their counterpart was miscarried.

I've had 4 sections and I'm still not put off!

As for those of you wanting more kids, it seems lots of my friends are doing the same and I'll admit to feeling broody BUT my third weighed 11lb 8oz, I had a natural birth (not out of choice, he just beat the guy with the epidural) and the consultant said any more babies will be bigger still! So, three it is......!

Have a good day everyone x

My sisters friends third baby was 12lb 6... and her 4th was 11lb 4... so they might not get bigger.. and she had normal births with them all.

Finger crossed everyone gets the A-level results they need..

Congrats on jobs for teens

And now I am going to sort a bath for a stinky 15 day old bedhog!

kaz - huge Well done to DS!!

Well, we've been in - DD has a C for Art, and E for English and also for Photography. She's disappointed as she really wanted a B and C. It won't make any difference this year, as she hasn't applied, and is having a Gap Year, and then we'll have a good look at Access courses, and Foundation degrees if she can't get on the sort of course she'd like. She';s gone into town with friends, so I expect she'll come back more cheerful.

I'm off for coffee with a friend I haven't seen for ages, so will be back to do the bathroom later....

Morning all,

Good luck & well done to everyone who's awaiting A level results.

Pigpen :eek: is all i have to say. Although OH and i were talking last night about how i always wanted a girl and it's a good job he's been snipped or we'd probably have had a go. I go through phases of wanting another one but it doesn't last long.:cool: Then i decide i want a dog instead but that doesn't last long either.:rotfl:

I'm on the filter coffee as i've run out of instant, it probably wasn't a good idea to have had that 3rd cup this morning.:eek:

Morning all – well it was when I started to type this!

LL – lovely to see you posting and I agree with what the others have said wholeheartedly
Toots – haven’t seen a post from you or have I just skimmed through too quickly
Piggers well done on the DLA
Haven’t see penpen posting either – is she still away on holiday?
Soappie - you CAN get through this week, I have every confidence in you
Hugs to all those that have had problems with OH’s and kids – hope it’s all calmer today
Fingers crossed for those still awaiting their exams results and well done to those who have them already. If they aren’t what they expected it’s not the end of the world

House on a whole isn’t too bad. Manic at the moment as DH has exams all week for his electricians course - he’s had to take a weeks holiday leave from his work to do this. He’s studying till around 11 each night and is knackered. Danny has gone to Catterick Tuesday night – he went back to a desk job there on Wednesday half days at the moment Monday to Friday. DD2 and Chloe are doing well – she weighed 12lb 10ozs on Monday. DD2 could still be doing more – but it’s a work in progress. MIL had her operation yesterday to remove the lump and lymph nodes – when the tests come back we will know whether its just radiotherapy or chemo and radiotherapy. She is hopefully coming out today if the take the drain tube out. Then we had some news last night from DD1 – she’s pregnant! I can’t stop worrying for her – it never rains but pours here! She doesn’t know what to do, says this is the exact situation she didn’t want to be in – jobless (got made redundant if you remember) and pregnant and still living at home. She hasn’t been with her boyfriend that long either, though he is taking it well so far. She needs to go and see the doctor really – but I think she wants a day or two to absorb the news. She hasn’t told her dad yet.

Sorry it was a ‘me me me’ post again. Heads a shed and can’t remember much of the skim read I did. Love and hugs all round for those that need or want them xx
