Morning all.
Yankeefish - really no need to be intimidated! So glad you posted. One of the best things about this thread is that we're all quite different with different lifestyles, but we all have this one hugely important^ thing in common.
Nice to see Shanks & Novadandypowder popping in to say hello .
Morocco: hope you're managing to stay reasonably relaxed with all this distressing family stuff going on. Fingers crossed for your Mum.
MsMoss: you must phone your HR department immediately and inform them that if someone doesn't go and buy some more chocolate muffins for you that it will constitute a H&S issue, and endanger your pregnancy.
I'll pop onto the antenatal depression thread and see if I can help. It's a horrible thing to go through.
Am also with your DP kitty. When was the last time you went away for any length of time without him or the kids? Maybe when this LO is a few months old you could leave him to cope on his own for a bit: see how wide his horizons stay coping with the reality of 6 kids on his own.
Unlike MsMoss my DH doesn't expect me to be an emotional trampoline (which implies he sees you as strong!), but neither does he see himself like that. In our pre-kid state, we just see ourselves as 2 flawed adults, doing our best to have a nice life and 'do the right thing'. Don't know if that'll change once we're parents though...
Foxy: want to be my DD Buddy? Reckon I'll probably be 2 weeks late (basing this on my Mum's experience).
