Morning all,
How are Edward and Martha doing today?
I am also feeling really broody In spite of recalling in technicolour detail just how exhausting it can be in the first few weeks. Reminds me, how's your friend LaT? I think I will definitely try and take advantage of the full year's mat leave the next time.
Dh is now muttering about one child being enough, and he wanted six before we had T!! I've told him he has no choice, he'd convinced me to have loads of children, and now its tough, he'll have to live with it [grin}. In reality, I know I would def like another one, then we'll see....don't know if I can picture having more than 4 though.
Anyone apart from Lucky trying for another baby? I can't remember now. I had to have an MMR vaccine last week, as when I was pg they noticed I had no rubella antibodies, and then no-one ever followed that up, except I happened to remember when thinking about another lo. So now we have to wait a min of 4 months before trying.
LaT - so funny your DH told his family not to buy presents! I too am in the same boat re DH has never bought anything for T (except food ), and in fact asks me what she should wear when he's supposed to dress her - not rocket science, is it?! Although, he is terribly spoiled as I do all his clothes/toiletries shopping for him.....otherwise he would buy himself those teatowel shirts you mentioned mixedmama!! Also I can sypathise with his shopping phobia as his mum used to drag him around the shops as a child, and this is the woman who I went to the supermarket to get a 'couple of thing' with and was in there for THREE hours. When we eventually got to the till, she had forgotten something and had to go back for it!
Simpson and LaT - the whinging is even worse than the clinging I think. Sometimes I carry T around until I forget she is not an extension of my body, but I cannot ignore that high pitched siren like wailing.
Lilyloo - how is DS doing? Have not got more suggestions, but looks like you got lots of ideas from your thread.
Filly - five days child free - whooo hooo! And JKS, am soooo jealous of your planned trip to Bermuda.
have sent T off to cm this morning, and I'll be going to the dr's about this never ending cold/throat thing, hoping for yet more antibiotics. One of the other children at the CMs is off with chicken pox, and a set of twins are off because of nits. Have I told you that nits are my phobia? Never seen them, never had them, but sooo freaked out by them. DD's hair has been smeared with almond oil (I heard they don't like oily hair), and its tied in bunches (someone mentioned something about braided hair not being attractive to nits, but T's hair too short, so that's the closest option). Am I paranoid or what? Although yesterday she was giving the twins loads of cheek to cheek cuddles. eeek. I know its very common and no big deal, but I'm just funny about it!
