OK, DH has just bought a Wii. We have just eaten tea and so far I have been treated to a 'Wii Dance' (him jumping round the lounge in excitement), he is referring to it as 'My Precious' and saying to it 'I have been waiting for you for so long' whilst caressing it. He hasn't even set the damn thing up yet

Did I marry a weirdo??

Off to read the rest of the posts now, just thought I would share DH's weirdness with you all!

2Happy - I could have written your essay myself. Nothing else to add but I feel EXACTLY the same. I adore J, I LOVE having a son and if I could have chosen, I would have chosen a boy first and a girl second but I am TERRIFIED that I will never have a daughter My DSis has twin DDs and I feel so jealous of her having girls, not because I would swap J for a girl but I know the next pg will be tainted with my desire for a girl. Like you said, if it is another boy next time I will love and adore him as much as J but there will be a missing part of me - a daughter.

It makes me want to cry thinking about it which is SOOOOO ridiculous.

Just found out one of my friends is PG with a girl after a boy, one is due anyday with a girl after a boy and my BF has a girl. It does make it hard.

People are so screwy about gender preference. I have been through a m/c so yes, healthy child is tantamount but it doesn't stop my desire for a girl.

For that reason I am defo finding out the sex next time, even though it goes against my belief that you shouldn't find out - purely so I can get my head round it if it is another boy.

Bunny - for a boy, DH should stick to cool showers and loose boxers, you should have sex on the DAY of ovulation and after.

Wilkie get being a dog I see you as a golden retriever

Wilkie · 01/02/2008 18:58

EH?????

Reggiee · 01/02/2008 19:14

Hello all.
DH reading over my shoulder so better be careful what I write
It seems he is agreeing with Wilkie's DH's wii assessment. But he is on his Xbox.

Yup I'm in Leeds (approx 2 mins from today's school stabbing if you're intersted....)

With dd, I had a marginal boy preference. For no2 I don't think I mind either way. Just hope there is a no2 (you reading this darling??)

Evening

Been busy designing new school logo and tsgirts what do you think?

like the first one EaH

Hi all. No time to post cos i'm at my brothers having dinner (this computers put all the posts the wrong way round... so its very difficult to figure out what's going on!)

But I'm up for the meet-up definitely. Anywhere nearish London would be fine with me!

bunnyhunny · 01/02/2008 23:21

just a quick catchup

thanks for the advice wilkie - now just to work out when i ovulate

eah - love the 1st design. It seems more personal than the other two. Love your drawing on it

shimmer - where are you? I reckon the meetup would be a bit further north, as a lot of people are northerners on this thread (I think?)! unless it's easy for them to get to london?

susiecutiemincepies · 01/02/2008 23:53

Eandh - Kent
Wilkie - Lincoln
LAL - Mansfield
Rgee - Leeds (?)
Lizzombie - Eastbourne
bunny - cambridge
susie- London ( but also often in manchester and newcastle depending on DH working !

LIke the first one eah, like the colour and the font.

I'd really like a boy too.. I was convinced that Izzy was a boy. I had a name for him ( her ) totally sorted. I was shocked to say the least when I found out there were only girl bits on the scan. We are going to try for another at the end of the year, as long as Dh is back living and working here. I often dream about a little boy in our family too. Strange as I used to dream about a girl of about 2 years old... maybe my boy dreams mean i might have a boy next time? I hope so still, if its a pink one again, I'll love her just as much. PLus DH will well anad truly be hen pecked, which can only be a good thing!

I've accidentally had alot of wine, so 'm sorry for the typos.

Wilkie · 02/02/2008 07:31

Bunny - accoring to 'The Book' (not the bible!) you have to chart your temp and you ovulate just before it spikes.

Alternatvely, watch out for the egg white goo as that is a sign you have ovulated. J was concieved on the day of egg white so it ties in.

DH has no preference either way (although secretly I think he would like a girl).

EAH - I like the first design but think the writing should be navy blue or purple - green not good with pink.

I babysat for my BF last night, DH spent all night on the Wii apparently!

ladytophamhatt · 02/02/2008 11:48

Can I interest any of you ladies in a rather whingy 1year old?

All evening, all last night(Dh was downstairs with im at 2:52am) and all this morning all he's done is moan and whine.....its getting boring now.

I've drugged him given him some medicen now....

eandh · 02/02/2008 11:53

I'll swap for an annoying 3 year old who literally hasnt stopped talking since 6.30 and repeats 'Mummy' 6000000000 times if you dont look like you are listening (her plaits could do with redoing to )

katwith3kittens · 02/02/2008 12:13

Happy Birthday Matthew !

Just quickly logged on to check a post from yesterday .. UD's got some good news ( but its hers not mine so I shant tell )

Like the first one eah, not keen on the others they look like a reebok type sporty logo.

I think I'd be too scared for an over night meet, what if we all didn't like each other... or am I just a wimp ?

LTH .. 35 and you are just a spring chicken

Got the MIL coming to stay for most of next week, so I'll have to look busy dusting and generally doting on her son so try not to chat too much before I get back please ?

ladytophamhatt · 02/02/2008 13:39

oh....kat, i think i might know what it is, have just texted her but the suspense is killing me!!

is something to do with something she did yesterday????

ladytophamhatt · 02/02/2008 13:46

FAB! have just got a txt from her too.

Wilkie · 02/02/2008 15:37
