Hi Harri, seen you over on the other threads, welcome.
Ditto pussycatmomma, think your assertion that we're all 'mad girls' is not only frighteningly accurate but probably a great suggestion for a new thread title. Seeing babies everywhere, staring intently at calendars counting and re-counting what day we're on, gazing one second too long at other people's bumps, sudden irrational interest in cm, ooh it goes on and on... quite mad I'm sure.
Anyway, so everybody know what page we're on again...
me: 24
dh: 23
first baby
ttc when: well er, that's a toughie. Not technically being that careful, but not trying as hard as we plan to in a couple of months.
I'm actually being a bit glum about it all day. Haven't told anybody in rl that we're ttc apart from my boss, who I told in confidence yesterday (work's all a bit up in the air, redundancies expected, voluntary retirements suggested and I wanted her to know in advance- my job's safe btw). She is 36 and has a 4yr old dd and on telling her she said, "work wise that's fine I'll get you all the maternity waffle, but on a personal level can I suggest you wait. I love dd but wish I'd waited much longer. Don't throw it all away now." Left her office a bit confused, stewed on it a bit, felt angry and then wondered if she isn't slightly more clued up than I am. I know each woman is different, but I get on very well with my boss, she isn't just projecting her own dissatisfaction onto me, I think it was just her honest advice.
I'm not changing my mind, but am disappointed that the first reaction I had was a negative one. I'm not telling anybody else till I'm 12wks pg and have started dreading the 'Ooh I'm so pleased for you' in case everybody is secretly thinking the same as my boss.
Anyway, shut up Kleg you're waffling again.
Morning all! Looks like the bright weather's packed up and gone on its hols. There's truly nothing worse than Norfolk covered in drizzle!
