oi step away from the pâté! No offence but are you sure you've worked out your points allowance correctly if you've used them all already?! Good luck with it anyway.
DSM glad he's apologised, though it does seem this is a cycle which repeats itself every 6 weeks or so of him implying you don't pull your weight, then apologising and you thinking he's wonderful again.
gary I agree birth reflections sounds like a good idea, whatever you do though please don't spend your entire pregnancy worrying and stressing about the next birth. My DH is 14 years older, so no late babies for me either.
I've never watched OBEM, nor am I interested in doing so. I'm afraid it's reality TV gone a step too far for me, some things should be private, and no amount of money could ever make me want to share something as personal as giving birth with the nation.
My MW was with me the whole time while I was in labour with DD, though it was late at night and DH was only there for the last 15 minutes. I came very close to swearing at her though when she told me it was too late for pethidine. Looking back now though I'm glad, I was alone for parts of my labour with DS, and so spaced out on pethidine I can't remember large chunks of it tbh.
I had been looking back at 2012 with bitterness about the whole flat stress saga and DS broken arm, however after reading easily's post about things you're proud of I've decided a new year equals a new more positive me, hence the new name. I'm proud of reaching our 5 year anniversary, raising money for charity doing street collections, proud of DH for getting his place in the London marathon and proud that I taught DS to read.
