To be honest, I'm floundering around in the dark with dd's room now. Originally it was the pink and green elephant and giraffe thing, but decided that wouldn't last long enough, so thought generally shabby chic would be better, as it fits with our house (its shabby not chic just in case you were wondering).
Have seen some beautiful babies' rooms online, but still can't decide once and for all what style I want. I think not being able to make a decision is another manifestation of the anxiety I've been suffering from and still have a question in my head about PND. Honestly, I don't seem to get anything done at the moment and anything I do start doesn't get finished, not through lack of time, rather lack of self belief/confidence.
Its great to hear you are enjoying your riding so much. I feel like, if I could find something to get my teeth into, I might be able to pull myself up by the bootstraps so-to-speak. I was kinda hoping getting dd's room done would give the boost I need, but it just seems to be giving me more stress at the moment.
That reminds me Tree is that your sitting room with the christmas tree in on your profile? If so, its gorgeous, exactly how I wanted my house to look when we first moved here, only yours is on a much bigger scale as we live in a shoebox. Am very very.
Sorry to hear about dh trouble Books and Elkie.
Books, you can tell your dh from me that my dh works all day at work, then does freelance work in the evening as well but still gets up in the night with the dc's. He is of the opinion that I have at 24/7 job whereas his is only 9-5 (plus occasional freelance stuff he does at home) and not only that, they are his children as well as mine and he actually 'wants' to be involved in comforting them when they are in distress at night. We made them together, so we care for them together. I can honestly say that he gets up in the night more often than I do, as he copes better on less sleep than me. Must be true, as when the boys wake up they both call Daddy not Mummy!
This weekend I have not lifted a finger, not since collapsing into my bed on Friday night at 7.15 pm. He has done, housework, washing, looked after, fed, changed and bathed all 3 dc's, sorted the dogs (one of whom has had d&v), got all the school stuff ready for tomorrow and cooked a lovely sunday lunch complete with home made apple pie. He's also slept on dd's side of the bedroom so that he could take care of her in the night if she woke (which she has regularly apparently, probably because Mum isn't in her usual close proximity) and all this while working till 1.00 am both nights on his freelance work. He is an absolute superstar!
