Oh for heavens sake, please remind me that two Inferiorettes is enough!

[motherinferior]

I am very, very bad at pregnancy - hate it from start to finish, not including the SPD. I am also appalling at dealing with small babies. They reduce me to a snivelling wreck on the constant brink of ringing Social Services. I find parenting a constant struggle which is only negotiated by dint of constant whingeing on-line and in person to everyone I know. Now that my younger daughter has turned two - and I indeed have turned 42 - I am finally reclaiming some sense of my life As It Was Known Before.

Please remind me that I don't want another baby and that my current broodiness is just a pre-menopausal blip of insanity!

Oh, yes, you have to have sex
That is a problem, of course.

Frogs is absolutely spot on! And links nicely with the fact that I am neither laid back or patient so 3 is quite enough!

Mind you, only had to do it once to get dd

No, it is NOT going to happen and I am just being Very Silly.

Oh Anchovy, I know...on one level.
But alas I had a stillbirth at 21 weeks at 39, no cause ever found, and I do sometimes worry it was a sheer age bad luck thing. Obviously I then had bonny little dd a year later, and I know heaps of Mumsnetters with wonderful nippers born at 40 plus, but sometimes it preys on my mind.
None of which should detract from a welcome opportunity to tease a most Superior Mumsnetter

i found a childrens' clothes shop you would adore yesterday, kent & carey on bellevue rd, do you know it?

oops that was to aloha.

bk been shopping again eh?

Miaou's little boy at 3am today

Oh noooooooooooooo...

That has to be the sneakiest post to date on this thread Janh. And you a Mod too.

another hijack but can I just say how lovely it is to hear stories of late 30s early 40s conceptions. We've been trying for 14 months for #2 and feeling very desperate as time ticks away (I'm 33).

MI - It was chaos at her house but lovely chaos but I was shocked at how utterly exhausted she looked.

Bet Cod would have something else to say on this though!

bloody hell I'm very broody now, look at his dear little handy in that white romper suit, JUST LOOK!!!!!

oooo Janh, you sneaker

oooh BK, I have some second hand Kent and Carey clothes for dd! Don't tempt me. I spent Too Much Money in the Rachel Riley sale this week. And that was on one divine little smocked dress for dd and a dear Christopher Robin-ish jumper with collar and pockets for ds. They have little button strap mary jane shoes for girls in sugared-almond coloured metallic leather which made my heart literally beat faster!

Blimey that's got us all going!! He is gorgeous.

In the same position as you MI - 42 with a 2yo and a 4yo.........with one minor difference, DP has recently had the snip, so decision settled.

And harping on about his total cuteness from a safe distance down under helps not a jot either, Wong

Oh, bless, bless, bless to little Callum. You see? Babies are lovely.

oh janh - sneaky or what? Lovely though...

bossy kate - kent and carey on Bellevue is my mil's fave shop. They have very good sales too.

Sale? Did someone say sale?

blimey 2 is enough - for me anyway - in fact 2 seems like too many some of the time

Beautiful photo (sigh..!)

why isn't there a Kent and Carey shop in manchester? [sulk]

I had to fabricate a tale about work being total pants to avoid going near the Hoxtonchicklet. (Actually, that is a lie. Work was pants and I could have done with a teeny cuddle).
