yesterday was also interesting because dh let me have a lie-in as I was knackered and went to pick the littlens up from my mum's which was nice of him, I came downstairs at half nine and had breakfast and dh told me he had an appointment at the dr's for half ten. I was like "are you ok? not sick are you?" bit confused and then he said he'd booked himself in to talk to the dr about having a vasectomy. so a bit of a surprise that he made a decision to go for it and booked an appointment by himself. I had the kids whilst he went as i think he wanted to chat without ds running around and causing havoc. The dr was happy to refer him to wimborne clinic and said age didn't matter as he seemed very sure about the decision and that it had been long enough since annabelle's birth that she was sure we'd thought about it enough. Sian (dr) said that age was irrelevant as we all get to different stages of life at different times, going on to say that dh is twenty-two with a four year old and twenty four week old, she's forty with a two year old, and doesn't matter that he is quite young.
he got home told me what she'd said and then actually phoned up and got them to send him an appointment so I was pleased he did it straight away even though I could tell he was nervous phoning up.
Though now we've made the decision and it is the right one for us I have mixed emotions about it, happy but tinged with sadness.
