..to getting all teary and hormonal as SIL's has a baby and the memories have flooded back?

[Monkeytrousers]

Me and Dh are going thru an emotionally estranged patch again. His sister gave birth last night and I was really suprised by my reaction. was happy for her, but more empathising, had a few phantom twinges and a massive hormonal rush - all the memories of DS's birth came back - how long and hard, the relief, me and DH being totally besotted, with each other as well as DS - and then I had a bitter sweet twinge at how shitty it's been lately - all these things. Dp says he's just 'relieved' and it doesn't bring back any memories.

Am I just being wet?

monkeyt, you are totally normal and sane (like all MN mums!). my ds is heading for first birthday and i keep getting flashbacks of the day he was born, and welling up. DH thinks this is highly amusing, bless him. He didnt have a day and a half of agony (only 40 years of torture ie marriage instead I hope).

well thank goodness for that
