Sea - I'm sorry, but I have to agree with chev
Your DH just doesn't seem to give your feelings any consideration at all. Do you honestly think, hand on heart, that things will change when the new baby comes along? You say that he doesn't spend time with Sophia and William, so why should he get any better? You will then have 3 kiddies whose daddy doesn't have time for them.
I really don't want to seem as though I'm 'picking on you', but when I read the things he does/doesn't do, I feel soooo angry for you.
Wishing you lots of luck, love and the strength to do the right thing for ALL of you,

Well, had a chat, don't know how much will have gone in, but he was quite shocked that I thought he'd rather spend time away from home than with us - I really don't think it'd entered his head at all. So we'll see how it goes. I'm ringing the counselling this week as I'll be off from next week so can go at anytime. This will, I guess, be the make or break point. I think it can only be a good thing. Whatever happens, the baby will be, I know some may think I'm extremely foolish for getting pregnant with all this happening - it was a surprise, but then I guess if you mess about, it shouldn't be too much of surprise eh? But I am pg now and whatever else might happen Im pleased. Just need to work on hte other parts of my life more now.
Anyway, not sure if this is coming out right or not. I will have to see how the counselling goes and what happens as a result of that.
Making the app with the dr tomorrow to discuss coming off the anti-d's as well, or if this is appropriate at all. Should be interesting!
On a MSE note, my printer cartridges ar up to £21 on Ebay and finish tonightI don't think they'll reach anything more really but very pleased with that!
Need to dig out some airtight boxes tonight so I can start baking for my mum's party on sat as well. Need to make a list of qhat I need to get in - shouldn't need too much as have quite a bit of baking stuff already. Soph should enjoy that tomorrow.
Hope all are well - it's not raining here which is fab! The sun is actually shining. Amazing.

Good luck with making all your appointments etc. Your printer cartridges are doing well - I have some empty ones to list this week, but am waiting because I have another that is almost finished - might as well list them all in one go, they have always gone well before.

You're not extremely foolish Sea - while I don't think a baby can 'heal' a relationship, it can certainly be the catalyst for giving a relationship another try - I really hope it works out for you, but I know you will cope well and be a fantastic Mum whatever happens."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250

Sea
I completely understand what you said about "Whatever happens, the baby will be..." and I don't think you are foolish or reckless. Regardless of how or why it happened it has and you do not have to justify to anyone your decision to proceed - it is your decision and yours alone! I know people are entitled to their own opinon but I do wish (how can I put this sensitively) they wouldn't judge or imply that there is another choice. Sea is aware of all the choices and we are here to support her decision not judge or compare.
Sea I think you are marvelous and a lovely mum and support you and your decision 100%.

Hi
Gosh I'm exhausted now! Just got back from work - will be doing the baking tomorrow I thinkOH is collecting the kids and then going back to work for an hour although I might stop him - he came back for half an hour and had a lie down today because his back was really hurting him (thank goodness he has another app this weds at the hospital) - and if he can take time off for that, he can help me out tonight, as he's missed bedtime for the last 2 nights.
Feeling like I could sleep for a week so will go to bed early again tonight - will be able to get up tomorrow and get lots done though which is great - can't sleep in at the mo which is not like me, but is nice
Hope all are well. thanks for the support - I'm glad people are honest enough to put what they think as well as it does help me sort things in my mind too. Need to set a reminder to ring the drs at 8.30 to ensure I get an app - I hate this system!!

HI all,
Feeling a little ropey this morning - had a difficult night with DS - his last 4 teeth are coming and he really doesn't cope well witht he teething. feeling a little sicky at times too - not sure if that's tiredness related though.
Sold my cartridges for about £24 in the endso will go and post those today. Also got storytime and Sophia's dance lesson later as well.
Have introduced Sophia to the House Fairy and she loves it! She's been racing round tidying things 5 times at a time, so I'm loving Flylady even more nowThe House Fairy has also visited her (now clean) room and left a surprise (£2 my little pony bought in sale months ago
) and she is most impressed. We've been watching the videos on Jump Cut and she is v happy.
I on the other hand have done nothing this morning - got to do some more washing and do the kitchen (OH cooked me tea last night - not v healthy - egg and cheesey chips - but I just couldn't really function so need to tidy all that today).
Also going to start the baking as well today - doing the caramel meringuesNeed to dig out a couple of air tight boxes though so they save nicely until Sat.
Just will take it one thing at a time - the kids seem in good moods today so that's nice
Hope all are well, seems quite nice today after the thunder and lightening last night.
