3 year course in Midwifery. Then can do an extra year as I work to gain my degree. I am SOOOO excited at the prospect. But don't know how we'll manage with childcare.

toothache - good on you!

Good for you, it will be hard with the children though. i guess I'm lucky to have my career before children, I just don't want to go back at the moment but needs must, finacial pickle etc.

Can't be doing too badly today, since we've been chatting, I've changed two nappies, put 9m old for sleep, made other sons sandwiches and drink for lunch and broken up two squabbles - coping today obcviously!!!!

Ah finances!! Having financial worries can consume you. Dealing with that makes a big difference.

The power of the mind has freaked me out - when you think you are in control then realise actually what the hell is happening to me????

Sax - I used to phone DH in hysterics at work and tell him to get home NOW.... coz I was so scared of the thoughts running around my own head. Being out of control is the scariest thing in the world.

he goes to nursery 5 mornings now, built up slowly over time - Monday though they go at lunchtime so they learn to open lunchboxes and get into PE kit to prepare them for school! its a fab nursery but the other days he is there in the mornings, only 9.30 - 12.15, never long enough. What name do you mean?

OP posts:
gossifer · 06/06/2005 13:11

sax - was it because you like to play??

Sax · 06/06/2005 13:15

i think I sort of answered at 10.06 just saying I want to learn but only get time between pregnancies and after babies are older than newborn - i love the sound of the sax so yes thats why i chose the name - I'm also on another forum and wanted something different from that one although i'm sure others will work me out from my circumstances.

OP posts:
gossifer · 06/06/2005 13:19

i totally look up to anyone with one baby let alone 3, my thoughts are with you

gossifer · 06/06/2005 13:22

just missed your post, we had a slip up quite a while ago, maybe i'm just being neurotic! its hard when you don't have periods!

when i was pregnant with ds i got really run down (like now) i'd done a test and it was negative, waited a while and went to docs and lo and behold i was!
so, will let you know weds

if i was it wouldn't be ideal, moneywise, no maternity pay, ouch! but i'd be happy that one day they'd close in age i guess
