Happy 40th thechick
And happy birthday to anyone's babies that I have missed. Cant believe it is a year. I had a flick through some of the old threads. Nostalgic.
Boo for weirdness on the thread. Love all of you. Never mean to offend anyone, am happy to be told if I have. Flouncing makes me sad. Adore swearing.
Pumpkin you are very brave. Let us all support you on the next stage. FWIW, I have never looked at a friend's husband the same way after he admitted that he couldnt handle it if she earned more than he did. I just thought it was a very twatty thing to say. And makes me grateful for DH, for whom it has never been an issue, and who simply tells me sometimes he wishes that he could take from me the burdern of responsibility that being the main earner brings when I find it overwhelming.
chasing glad you are feeling better and well done for letting people help you. Not always easy to do that.
S had his one year check today. He's exactly 12 months, 79cm long and weighs 24.8lbs which is 91st centile for both, up from around 50th for both. All fine I guess, my boy is tall but in proportion. DH was there not me as I am extremely busy at work at the moment. All manageable though .
S is exactly the age that DD was when I conceived him. I've also had AF on his first b'day, as I did with DD. I like the idea of an identical age gap. But. But. But. But. All the practical reasons. I cannot afford it. I cannot afford another 6 months off work. But. But. But. am so tempted to have a sort of russian routlette shag in 2 weeks and see what happens. There's a v good chance as DD was unplanned and S was first cycle.
Oh and S has his jabs later. Reading your experiences am so not looking forward to the effects.
