FEEL FREE TO SKIP GARBLE NONSENSE TO FOLLOW

You know Lucky I've only come to realize (after last months scare) that NOT having babies anymore pushes me on to another chapter, very similar to graduating high school, going to college, getting married, having a baby. Friends will change some. Activities and Interests will change. Focus will change. On the one hand I like the idea of planning for vacations with older children and knowing sometime soon everyone will be able to potty without my help. On the other hand I see how it is managable to have more than two kids and I realize surviving a csection is possible the second time around, 3rd and 4th too. Financially more kids would be doable but not easy and we'd have had to go without some luxuries. I'd also never get the option to consider reentering the workforce. I just feel comfortable in my current chapter! I'm wish-washy as hell thus my strong push to get DH fixed before I reached this crazy stage. Last month I was having nightmares daily about what I'd gotten myself into. This month I'm kicking myself for being so fearful of something I'm good at.

I know ya'll are sitting back laughing (if you're still reading) thinking that chick is a loon. I am.

Just want to dump it out, make it real then I can see what to do with all these thoughts.

TS that is exactly how i feel!!!

I feel i am entering into unknown terriorty.. not sure what to do , driving my dh in sane by my daily rants...

dd2 is getting into a lovely phaze ( currently walking around room with a baby wipe singing her heart out).. so i know i should just sit back and enjoy her but something is stopping me...

i am crap at being pg, crap at getting up in the middle of the night but there is still something iside that tell me one more...

on the other side, i want to get back out there, meet new people, and have more conversation than how my children are!!!

Again a completely random post but just letting it all out!!!!

AAAAHHHH the JOY of knowing I'm not the only person with absolute conflicting ideas going on in my head at the same time. Obviously this is how a Schizophrenic feels. LOL!!

I know now of the rest of you are as obsessed as me but thought this might interest you babynames DD2's name is the highest climbing girls name - although not with that spelling

No1 DD is allowed to listen to a freebie Famous 5 cd in her room when she's in that kind of mood.

Ni hao Nezliquide! There's a cartoon on one of the Sky kids channels that teaches Mandarin. DS1 has got into it as he seems to have a thing for languages(funny that, with a former linguist for a mother.)

Cyteen how many people are you having for the reception? I once had dinner in a restaurant and there was a table of 12ish inc bride in her dress - made it a really magic atmosphere for everyone else.

AF came at last today, just 6 days late. No pain so far though, wahey.

Hey TS and LOTI I hear ya! Since DS1 was born I've been through every emotion on the subject! Didn't want one, then out of the blue broodiness! We are having so much fun now and loving what our future looks like in this format. But I know I might well get the broodiness in a year or so and I do think turning that mental shift into a lifestyle shift, as TS says, might be a way to prevent that. Hence my decision to find a paid babysitter and make a regular date out with DH (luckily we should just about afford this as we have only ever had freebie babysitters before). We need to take time out to celebrate not having a pregnancy or a baby and enjoy visualising our pushchairless future.

LOTI You can still do stuff like that and have babies too though. I've had loads of satisfaction, brain exercise and new friends doing volunteer stuff since having kids - I launched a real nappy network (torch now passed on to next generation), do NCT committee and event management, pre-school committee. I go to harmony singing workshops (can't commit to a choir) and our local arty community cafe has loads of interesting stuff going on I keep meaning to go to (will drag DH along as a date LOL). I also made a real effort with reading in the last 3yrs, keeping a log of books I'd read to motivate me away from the tv. You can do anything really.

5 minute note

miamla crushed i missed your call.

sazzles tomorrow then. will haul more positive vibes out later for good measure.

buckets spent a weepy moment going over babysitter options today as well. also call kindermusik teacher for reese. poor child has had no classes of any sort and she's 13 months old. there are things to occupy time when now pregnant or trying to be pregnant or trying to get over being pregnant. tomorrow is a PRIME example.....my first formal pilates private session. you just don't even know how happy that makes me. i might even be meeting a friend for lunch afterwards. i will be happy with all my life's choices!!

LOL Sazz either you are a very quick typer or you are not that bothered about DD2 TBH if I raced every time DS got up on the windowsill I would be a size 10 by now...

Another one craving DC3 here, I veer between thinking I must be mad, e.g. this morning at 5.30am when DS wouldn't settle, and being when I see a pregnant woman. DH still saying no but less fiercely.

No1 I hope you get the answer you truly want when you wee on that stick

oh and in the mean time i am eating up every last little second of reese. she is so awesome. even when she walks around and says what sounds like "OH SHIT!" with a giggle.

PMSL at Reese. Kurt still has a funny ackh ackh laugh like he's worried he might get in trouble for laughing. You just reminded me I am back to yoga next month when the university term starts - woohoo.

thanks buckets..

i guess i was a bit of a flying career woman before i had dd1, then worked for dh in between dd1 and dd2.. but since the recession they don't need me anymore so i am at a loose end.. i keep thinking i SHOULD be doing something as my housewife skills are not the greatest and i do tend to get some complaints ..

like cc i do (did) hockey every sat pre dds but since dh plays footie every sat now, no child care...

TS i wish i was having a private pilate class.. cannot find one in my area and have been recommend to try it to improve my back (after my famous bus car crash!!)..

ho hmm...

oh and dd1 has now gone to bed with a princess glitter night light so fingers crossed!!!!

oi sazz!!!!!! who are you calling crazy???
what's the saying about pots and kettles i'm trying to think of...

DS out like a light but DD fighting sleep she must be shattered as they were both up at 6am plus it was first day back at nursery. Just glad for once it is DH upstairs with a non-sleeping child, not me Tell me again why I want another...
