HM that is wonderful news. One of my friends has 15mnths between her 1st and 2nd and loved/loves it (they're 17 and 16 now). Amazed you managed to get so far along again without realising. I was shocked and felt a bit stupid when I found out at 7 weeks with DS1, I thought I was only 3/4wks. Lovely short preganancy. Still don't know what buggy you bought, if it wasn't a Phil and Ted's vibe, you'll need one now!
mumofjandk I also tend to post when stressed, never written one so long as last one, and has lost one a similar length the night before. Although that post was less about the poos in pants, less selfish and notes to particular people . He's not really had any awful incidents with loos. He has slipped in a couple of times, but I've just yanked him out and made a joke of it. He does like me to hold him and he tries to avoid washing his hands by not touching the toilet seat. He is a lazy sod!
Sorry to hear about your friend, since having kids I find it harder to be less emotional with pts. I remember after having DS1 I nearly cried with a sweet little old lady when she told me her lovely 90 odd year old DH had died. He was sooo lovely. But I'm not good with death. It was the reason I didn't want to do medicine (even though my biology teacher told my Mum I should do it), I didn't want to have to tell someone they were going to die. I don't know how I would react to the uncertainty that my child may not make it. They're very brave to continue the pregnancy and I hope they are the 20%.
Fuzzypeach at times over the past year I have had a week at a time when all the focus is his toileting, sometimes wees sometimes poos. He didn't ask to come out of nappies. I decided the time and day so that I didn't have to do it when he was ready which I thought would be when Pond was a few months old, ie last summer. I did say this time last year, he'd be 5 if I waited for him to want to lose the nappy. On day 3 of no nappies I went out to a soft play area and he wet himself 3 times in one hr, I ran out of clean clothes and had to leave him wet in the end .
Anyway, no poos in pants since Wed!! But it just makes me think he's had the upset tummy bug we've all had. DS2 did 6 poos on Wed, most leaked...Normally DS1 can hold in poos for days and we struggle to get him on the toilet. Then it hurts I think so I sit with him and encourage . So it will be a weekend of trying to get him to go I think. Better than cleaning up the poos twice a day (that was Mond and Wed).
Thanks again for support on the poos in pants. It only got to me this week cos it's all we talked about at his 'parents evening' and I was on my own. Having to then repeat what she said when I got home double my angst I think. I also suffer from white coat syndrome so panic when have to take kids. The thought of going to the drs to check out his 'bowel problem' gave me high BP. We'll just have to keep on going with it, positive positive...
DS2 will be potty trained when he asks and I will not feel pressured by anyone, not even myself! I'm hoping with a big bro to idolise he'll want to do it. But I can see me waiting til the summer after his 3rd birthday .
Hope everyone has a good weekend. We have my bro and his wife here and we have blue sky!!! . Must go and wake up the house before it decides to cloud over....
