TTC #4 - Join the madness... If you dare!!

Hi all! If you remember me.... Well we're doing well actually, Lacey is crawling and pulling up to standing, gah. Have put pic on my profile for you all

Hope all's well!

Woot Woot!!! Brilliant news! Sending you lots of sticky baby vibes!! Have you had a scan yet? Congrats!!! And dont be scared... I found going from 2 to 3 DCs harder than going from 3 to 4!

Loopy - Hope you taking care of yourself. Dont worry... it will happen for you. So sorry you had to have your hopes dashed though. xxx

Loopy - so sorry... did you find out you were preg then start AF all in one day? What happened?? Hugs xxx hope things get better for you.

Soooo?????

hey guys, sorry ive been off.. but looks like so has everyone else! no posts since 16th??

af due on friday.. been testing all week. and dont feel a bit pregnant.

how is everyone else??

Sorry been on holiday - Af got me - bang on time! At least it's gone to a 28 day cycle post-pill which is encouraging.

Loopy sorry to see AF got you too. And yes, I completely agree with you about the days when I wonder how on earth I would cope with 4 when 3 is hard enough. Generally depends on how much sleep I've had how positive I feel!

Completely agree with everyone re problems of school holidays and after school activities with 3 or 4 kids. Keep willing DD3 to grow up fast so that it's a little easier for her to join in with things but I don't want to just wish her toddlerhood away! I'm rubbish at the toddler stage, I don't have enough patience - would quite like them to come out aged 4! (Although obviously not the size of a 4 year old owch!)

Loopy, so sorry af got you. .xx

Kat, ava sounds lovely. HEctic sounds just about perfect for a family with 4 kids. I have 7 weeks and 2 days to go, feels like ages lol. Yay on the no vasectomy!!! In a few years you will know for sure if you are done.x

SK, hiya, how's Lacey doing?

Things are plodding along here. 3 children to entertain in the rain! I have to take them somewhere this afternoon, the arguing is driving me beserk.

Off to entertain the kids.xx

Oooh where did all of you come from??

Suddenly I have 3 pages of posts to read!!

Ava is 11 weeks now and the most smiley gorgeous thing in the world!! I am completely in love despite the fact she is currently screaming upstairs and won't go to sleep....

I am really enjoying having 4 but it's hard keeping track of them all sometimes!! Pretty hectic but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Dh didn't go for his vasectomy . I'm still 99% sure I don't want any more but we're only 30 so it makes sense not to rush into it when I can get an implant or something instead.

means how long have you got left!

Waves to SK and everyone else

It's hard work no doubt about it but also great fun

loopymumsy but at least start of a new cycle, I have a 27 day cycle but don't ovulate until CD15 for some reason

It's hard with 2 big ones and a toddler and a baby to drag them anywhere

Some days I am fine I think "I can do this!"

Other days I feel so utterly overwhelmed. I think a lot depends on your DCs ages mine are 6, 4.6, 2 and 12 weeks so hard going. Also whether you have family help or not makes a difference.

One thing that is upsetting me now is because it is the school hols and I have all 4 at home just now I feel I should be doing more with them, taking them out more but it is next to impossible just myself. Huge dose of motherly guilt. Trying to sort out swimming lessons for big 2 but that's hard as cannot be after school as only me here. Saturdays are taken up by dancing, Sundays are only free day we have, DP has church in the morning and we usually do a family thing in the afternoon.

LOL, I'm ok really just hormones and overly dramatic children, I can't imagine where they get it from. It's not helped by ds1 who's Mr sensitive, Mr OTT and Mr why is life so unfair....he's going to be a tough teenager.

BB, it must be so tough when a daughter gets her af.

Loopy, one day we will all be jumping around at a sticky bfp for you!!!! I know it feels like it will never happen but it will.xxx

SK, hiya, lovely to hear you are doing well.xxxx

Feeling a bit wobbly, must be chocolate oclock!

Did none of you read the title to this thread??? It requires you to be utterly MAD even CONTEMPLATING 4!!!!

Means I have a feeling your hormones have just as much to do with the panic as the unruly children. How are you feeling?? Not long now!!

Sweet Kitty Glad to hear your LOs get on so well. Mine love Marco! Even my DD2 who is not quite 3 tries to carry him around . My DC are off on hols from end of june til second week of September. Trust me... they are driving me to drink! The older 2 fight like an old married couple, DD2 is going through terrible twos, and Marco has been teething so is very grumpy! Sigh... Did I mention DD1 is also VERY HORMONAL??? She is 12 so I am thinking AF might find her soon

Loopy Dont give up quite yet

Good luck to everyone else TTC#4. You get used to all the chaos quite quickly. People come to my home and ask how I get used to all the noise!! LOL... I laugh and ask 'Is it noisy????'
