Hi everyone, I'm a bit happier than I was the other day thanks to full cupboards & fridge!
notso - your dc are not too disimillar ages to what mine will be. Mine will be 9 & 5. I think the thing that I find most 'scary' is that ds2 will have just started school in Sept & then a few months later there'll be a baby & I'll be starting all over again. Also realised yesterday that when ds1 is 18, this little one will be 9. That's frightening! I didn't do any 'gentle introducing' re homebirth, just told dp I'm havig a homebirth & he'd better be brave enough to roll up his sleeves if the mw isn't quick enough!
emma2617 - I had the same fears when I was pg with ds2 that I loved ds1 so much & I didn't think it was possible to have that much love doubled, I felt bad as I thought either I wouldn't love the baby as much or that I would have to take some of my love away from ds1 to give it to the baby, but when he arrived it came from somewhere & it wasn't even thought aout again. There's a couple fo things this time that I feel bad about, 1 is that the boys are going to have to share a room once baby is out of our room. They have their own rooms decorated how they want them with their own pics etc on the walls. The other thing is that the baby is going to get time alone with dp & I while the oys are at their dads, but they won't get their own time with me.
OWO - I bought some mat clothes from another MNer. Absolute bargain, a pair of jeans, linen trousers & 2 skirts for £25. Some of it looks unworn too. I have no choice really but to wear them already!
Oh I've just had dinner & I have never felt so sick in all my life without actually eing sick . I don't like veg at the best of times, but todays dinner has cofirmed that I ca't eat veg now until I'm feeling better.
angels - how strange. I craved marmalade with ds1, Never actually gave into it as I can't stand the stuff. (It was more of a smell type craving than an actual overwhelming desire to eat it).
JodieO - fingers are very crossed for you.
Angelgirl - best of luck with dsd. I think that's a good idea to run it past her counsellor. I'm suffering from all-day-sickness . It seems to really come in waves and the thought of eating a meal, no matter how small makes me feel ill. I'm living on sausage rolls, double gloucester cheese, dark chocolate, hario & irn-bru atm. At about 4-5 in the afternoon I'm really wiped out and struggle to keep my eyes open. I feel really bad that it's being left to dp to deal with all the dinners ut I just can't lift my head from the settee, I even fell asleep this afternoon stood up cuddling dp.
Spiral - I was in my 1st year of an hnd when I was pg with ds1. I was also working part time & had to do everything at home. I don't really remember how I managed, but I was very young and fortunately pregnancy no1 was my best time ever physically. I absolutely loved every second of being pregnant with him.
