I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes...

Hope you are all having/planning a nice and romantic day

NJ, that is very sweet of DS. I have lovely flowers that DH got but signed from DS...DS was saying "I loe you, mummy. Mummy pretty, mummy. Got you flowers, mummy. Dunno where flowers came from , mummy. Must be magic Mummy!!"

Kay & Diege - boo, hiss on night wakening and spewing...pants!

Right, better finish breakfast and catch you all later.

LOL "Dunno where flowers came from"

DH bought me in a single red rose, sounds stingey just one, but when we first got together, he was still living up north and I was down south, he had a single red rose delivered to the hairdressers where I worked every week, and then when we moved in together (6 weeks later!) he stopped sending them and started buying a dozen, or two dozen of them, and I have always moaned at him saying I don't want 12 or 24 I want one again LOL So this is the first time he has done the single rose thing again He also managed to get my bottle of liquer which will be open probably before I go to get DS1, it is sat there looking and winking at me, don't know how much longer I can resist...!!

Funny thing was DH said he had met one of his engineers at a job to help him out, and this engineer asked DH what he'd got 'the missus' for Valentines day, so DH explained he'd got this bottle of stuff for me, and how difficult it is to get hold of in England, and the bar manager pulled out a bottle and said, "is this it?" and it was!! So poor DH has sweated blood and tears, and a bank loan for this stuff when the bar manager has had it all along and he said he'd have let him have at cost price! Oh well, at least he know's where he can get from now Just a shame the place was over 200 miles away!!!

Right must get on....!

kayzisbroody · 14/02/2008 08:20

Im kinda thinking what am I letting myself and dh in for by ttc another. More sleepless nights. I'm a bit worried about new baby waking up ds.

BeMyLilBaby · 14/02/2008 08:40

Mornign all!

i had a kfc last night yummmmmm!DP got me a lovely card and cut out twelve paper roses cos we are buying i lurve himmmm

NatalieJane · 14/02/2008 08:41

Kay I had the same thing when I was pregnant with DS2, DS1 would still roughly 4-5 a week come into our bed, (can you see why I was so happy when the CC worked with DS2?!) Anyway, we found that the sheer size of me put DS1 off coming into the bed, he said he didn't have enough room! So that stopped that, and I don't think there has ever been a time where DS2 either kept DS1 awake or DS2 has woken DS1 up. DS1 has woken DS2 many a time though!

I think the sleepless nights and everything is dealt with by hormones durring the pregnancy and birth and after. I know if I woke up every 2 hours now for half an hour I would feel like shit, but at the time, you just get on with it. Plus the sleepless nights don't last that long in comparison.

Playingthewaitinggame · 14/02/2008 09:14

Morning all. All these sleepless nights that I have to look forward to..

You all have very romantic DH's. I will not get flowers or cards, I would rather be bought be a lovely bunch next week when they are half the price (or of course a bunch twice as big ). Not big on the buying things for valentines day, I find all the commercial hype a bit much, I haven't bought DH anything. Would rather stay in, have a bath, get cooked dinner, eat it by candle light, no TV and a bit of fun (or a lot of fun) and have an early night . He did put a mini bottle of bubbly in my lunch with chocolates though. Bless him, as if I can take that to work . Still it shows he was thinking of me.

BeMyLilBaby · 14/02/2008 09:19

aw playing thats sweet of him! Dp and i are much the same, we just did cards, and he will help me cook tonight and then time for fuun...

we were talking about ttc last night, and you know when something serious dissolves into sheer stupidity it was a discussion much like that lol x

NatalieJane · 14/02/2008 09:46

TBH this is the first year we have bought each other pressies, normally we get cards, and sometimes I have got little chocolate hearts to hide around the house or whatever, but we thought we would treat each other this year.

I have got to put these banners and balloons up, anyone wanna help me blow up the balloons, I can't find the pump

In fact just thought of somewhere it might be.....

NatalieJane · 14/02/2008 09:47

Found it

Playingthewaitinggame · 14/02/2008 09:53

It sounds lovely Natalie, and involving the kids is so sweet. I suppose being just the 2 of us we get a bit fed up with all the hype, this is our 10th valentines day being just us!

NatalieJane · 14/02/2008 10:01

We used to say that about the hype, but we said so what? It is just an excuse to have a nice day, and so what if we spent money that we probably should know better than to do, it is only for a day after all.

Besides, DH has been putting in loads of overtime recently so we get going on the house better, so he deserves a nice relaxing night.

Not sure what I have in mind is that relaxing, but never mind

Balloons are pumped up, just got to get the steps out of the garage and put them and the banner up, then I am going to have to somehow find a way to keep DS2 entertained while I have a bath.... this isn't going to be fun!

Playingthewaitinggame · 14/02/2008 10:12

I think that is a nice attitude Natalie. I think when we have DC's Valentines day might mean a bit more then, we get to be alone and romantic any night if we want!

NatalieJane · 14/02/2008 10:16

I suppose it is the same as christmas though isn't it? You could wake up give pressies, have a roast turkey, any day of the year, but it wouldn't seem the same without it being the 25th of December!

Playingthewaitinggame · 14/02/2008 10:42

Maybe. I dont know, I just dont feel special about Valentines day. We try every week to have a day just like it were DH cooks, we ban TV and have an early night. Maybe we should have done something else but I simply dont fancy it. Its nice of course but not really special. Unless you were religious I think Christmas could be similar. If we spent Christmas alone and didn't go to church I think it would feel like any other day. Christmas is only special (assume no relgious connections) because we share it with family. I dont know, maybe we just miss the family we don't have.

NatalieJane · 14/02/2008 10:45

Well it is whatever makes you happy at the end of the day isn't it?

I still haven't done the banners and balloons, really must get on!

See you all later xxx

Hey, hey playing!! Don't let this Valentines stuff turn you all maudlin...it is an opportunity to celebrate if you wish, but I actually hate the implication that you must do something!! Nothing like a bit of enforced romance to put me right off the boil...

That is why it is nice to do something where there is no expectation, and that can be anythnig you like

You ahve gotten this far, you'll get your wishes!!

OP posts:

Playingthewaitinggame · 14/02/2008 10:52

I know, I didnt meant hat to sound as depressing as it came across. I spose as you said Teuch is is the enforced romance I don't like, I get really quite bored of it. I am sure we will have a nice night, I just can't find the same excitement for it as I used to, maybe I am just a bit hormonal today, I am on CD3.

NatalieJane · 14/02/2008 10:54

Awww, Playing, DH will have a nice dinner planned, and you can have a nice night together, and if that isn't the spirit of Valentines day, then I don't know what is!

I really must get cracking, spent far too long on here this morning...

Look ladies...I hate to say it but we are creeping up to the thread limit

thread titles suggestions on the back of a postcard please

OP posts:

NatalieJane · 14/02/2008 11:39

How about:

WHAT DO WE WANT? Unprotected sex. WHEN DO WE WANT IT? Now! But April/May/June/next year will do - waiting to TTC.

Or if the word sex is going to be an isshoo with the MN ground patrol, a BFP could replace it.

I will keep thinking whilst in the bath...!

NatalieJane · 14/02/2008 11:40

If I ever actually get in the bath, I have put the ballons and banners up over the doors, so I'm not doing that badly, sort of...

Teuch · 14/02/2008 11:41

If 'sex' is an issue on a parenting forum then I am off to throw myself from the pier...

I like it, but I am a lady who likes choice so keep 'em coming (ahem!)

OP posts:

BeMyLilBaby · 14/02/2008 12:10

I am loving the new thread title x

NatalieJane · 14/02/2008 12:21

Still not in the bath, thinking I will get in while DS2 has his nap, much better idea (and gives me until he's finished lunch to MN

I don't like the thread title I said, but can't think of anything else, so more ideas needed.

How about something along the lines of 'Practise makes perfect' but with a bit more humour? I am not witty enough for such tasks....!

BeMyLilBaby · 14/02/2008 12:31

practise makes perfect...and makes our fella smile??? i really am not much gd at these things...

all that we want is a little baby....just not right now??

its harder than it seems lol x
