Mid 30's TTC--Gin Palace Two: Spawn of the BESH

[SarahAbroad]

Hey all...

Hope this thread name is okay...just moved the Gin Palace around the corner before we ran out of space!

See you soon. The bar's open!

Am now on work 'puter, so am officially working, roight?

extreme I tried everything known to wimminkind to get up-duffed. Pre-seed is the least of it.
ginhag they say second ones waaaay easier.
scorpette your experience with a son could "heal" your experiences with your bro, break a pettern or somefink.

Yes, I have been "therapised", how d'ya guess.

Needchoos - well that's not one of my worries, I've already had a tummy tuck and I already think my body is minging - I need to work on my self-esteem now rather than phoning my plastic surgeon.

NeedChoos, yep I am scared of all of that too - I'm not a Playboy bunny or anything, but I do actually like my body as it is now.

Plus although I reckon I'm fairly normal (or possibly fairly deluded), my sister is a prize nutter, so there's no saying I wouldn't produce a devil child.

Bascially if you think of any aspect of this whole arena that anyone could possibly be worried about - I am.

I'm in the "I had shit parents" gang and as a result have had a ton of therapy - and being a "bad" parent is pretty much way down on the list now. I'm not afraid of making the same mistakes they did. OH and I have already talked about having a child with special needs and have decided that we would continue with the pregnancy unless there was no chance of survival. The way we look at it now is that, It may be a mong, but it'll be our mong.

Somewhere on here someone said they wished they'd taken a snap of their fango before it was ruined, for recontructive purposes .

I've mine spread and DP is getting the digital as we speak

Tho', like ski says, it's not like it's not skanking anyway.

Oh no tho', is it because of the misogynistic society I think me snatch is mingin? Oh noooooo, help....

needbooze that's quite a normal fear.and it does bugger your body up a bit I'm afraid.my boobs are finally starting to make a reappearance tho hurrah.

scorpette...funny eh,I really wanted a boy.and he is totally fucking great.believe me (look away if you want to avoid soppiness) when your kid looks into your face and says 'love oo mummy' then whether they have a willy or not won't matter.

Speaking of willies,small says 'bye bye willy!' when I put his nappy on

Is it too early to open the bar?

Hi RLR - I can't even see myself with a child let alone a boy or a girl yet I do like the name Molly...weird..

God, every time I get dressed you lot kick off!

Needchoos: Preseed is a sperm friendly lube. Apparently all others stop the little blighters getting passed your fanjita, as does saliva. I haven't invested in any yet but am seriously considering it as the poor fellas weapon gets v.sore from the desperate endless fruitless shagging. If it doesn't happen this month I will be ordering some. And a moon cup.

Ski... I'll have the shitting small one please. I am lacking acres of grounds (city dweller) so would only have enough space for a small dog. With small shits. Otherwise I would have an irish wolfhound.

Scorpette: I'm scared of my boobs ending up round my knees. I know that sounds shallow, but they are the ONLY thing I have ever liked about myself. Hate the face, the body carries an excess 2 stone, but the boobs are jolly little blighters. And if a baby takes them I will have nothing left to love about myself.

Am also scared of having a disabled child, mostly because I had a conversation once with my OH about having babies, and he said if they were disabled then he would want me to have a termination. He is not a bastard by the way. I had a termination years ago and it fucked my right up, so I don't want a termination or a disabled baby. I want something in my life (aside from finding OH) to work out well.

Oh and I don't want a boy first. If I have two girls - fine. One of each fine. But if I have a boy then a boy then I'm abandoning them all and moving to a beach in Thailand!

Can we have a list of the things you've used to get up-diffed please dontry?

Currently I have only invested in the following:

1. multi vits
2. Folic Acid
3. Evening Primrose (up to OV)

.. all washed down with white wine.

Oh and OV sticks
And Zita West "Guide to ending up wiping shit and vom off your dressing gown"

What else should I waste money on?

Annoyingly, have realised that if I OV this month I will get impregnated on our 2nd Wedding anniversary. Then checked due date .. which will be OH's birthday. No pressure this month then!

Thanks Extreme for clarifying the lube situation - amazing what you find out - eh? At the mo still just shagging recreationally and have deferred the decision about making a decision to actively starting doing something until I hear about my promotion.

Hadn't even thought about disabled babies. At least I'll have a variety of things to stress about!

Small says you're all a bunch of bastards-boys are great.

extremesitting if I don't get up-diffed pretty damn soon I'm going to throw a massive tantrum and move to thailand anyway. Shall I save a cocktail and a beach umbrella for you?

Tho it's hard to take him seriously with my bra on his head

He's probably right!

My friend has two boys and they are lovely, but they are also like a tornado when they visit. And they don't respect art deco furniture. And they are drawn to expensive wallpaper that they are not allowed to touch.

Obviously girls would be much more respectful of years of careful interior design

Ski shall we just ditch this trying malarky and move their now? I've had enough too.

there duh

extremesitting sounds like a plan, laurielou is going in september anyway so maybe she can get the mango cocktails in whilst we're packing?

Meet you in the smoking section at T5?

Anyone else want to fuck this off and go to Thailand and steal adopt a child?

A friend of mine did that back in 1990, her hubby was a civil servant working for Maggie and they were in Bangkok for a while. When it was time to go home took the little Thai girl on the plane - being who they were they didn't get any gyp at Heathrow. The kid was living in the streets and was mute and illiterate. The UK doctors thought she was "about 10" but she was the size of a 3/4 year old British child - so she started school a year or two later, they never made her "try" and be 10.

Jesus.. sorry Aerie hiya! Are you dressed yet?!

ex my friend has a girl same age as small.now my boy can carry on a conversation,charm the pants off everyone he meets,say 'please' and 'thank you' and join in when being read to...

Whereas she communicates by screeching and properly attacks every other small person she meets.honestly I have never seen her near another kid without making them cry.

It's not just about gender,I'm sure of that

Oo get me being all defensive!

Sounds perfect Ski. I would be more than happy with a Thai baby. Or an Indian baby. Or a Nepalese baby. Who am I f*ckin kidding! I'll have any old baby at this stage! Am well into the idea of decorating a nursery...

PS - Not old baby.. that would be a toddler. I like them pre throwing shit at the walls age ...

Excuse me? That's my pit of angst you've all crawled into! I thought I'd disguised the entrance perfectly well with a large parlour palm. Clearly not.

May I lure you out with peanuts?

I'm already mourning my figure. I have a nice waist which makes the rest look fairly proportional. Without my waist I'd be burly and mannish (am freakishly tall). Though I have a tall friend whose post-baby figure is different but still perfectly nice. But she's better looking than me anyway (cow). And I'm a lazy arse - any changes would inevitably be permanent.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with a weird phobia of having a son! Although we'd both prefer a little girl (I too can only imagine having a daughter - in all fantasies, my baby/child is a girl), TYF tries to reassure me with lovely stories of his growing up with 3 brothers... sadly, they all involved fighting, breaking things, weeing on everything, obsessions with computers, etc. ... not very helpful (BTW, his little brother is 6 years younger than TYF, has TYF's middle name as his first name, and has long, flowing hair in all his infant pics till he is about 7 - so his parents weren't hoping for a girl 3rd time round, then? ).

Am also scared about ruined body. I had a massive growth spurt aged 15 (grew 6" in 6 months!) and most of body is covered with stretchmarks and I've hated my body ever since (even have them on the backs of my calves, so won't do bare legs). However, my tum is smooth, unmarked and lovely (though sadly not very flat) and I have nice round, perky boobs (C cup). So having a baby for me is like basically accepting that every part of my body will then be ugly and depress the hell out of me for evermore...

Still want one tho'!

Oh think I'm just gonna fuck off for a bit until you lot have stopped discussing ruined bodies and the awfulness of boys.haven't had much sleep so may get all lack of perspectivey aggro.

It all looks a bit different from over here though.

God, wish I'd never started the "what are you all scared of" question, I've just added about a thousand more to my list

gin more stories about small please to remind us why we're doing this.

He sounds delicious by the way.

If I think hard I can only picture me with a girl, but I have to say (I know you're not meant to have favourites, but hell) my friend's little boy if my fave. He was running around last year, hopped up on E-numbers, then just stopped, asked me how my arm was (I'd recently had plaster removed) then carried on playing football in the house. He's 3.

Last night his father told us how he was carrying "favourite" down stairs when he nearly fell. Obviosly grabbed "fave" but in the process father thought he'd broken his arm. Sat on sofa sweating & swearing - then "fave" fired his Robin Hood arrow at him right on the forehead.

Gotta love 'im!
