Dh plans on no more kids.....I plan on whatever will be . If dh is so adamant not to have more dc then he should take some precautionary methods. I used the pill for 10 years, it's about time he took his turn? I don't think I am being selfish here? He is a fairly intelligent man, he knows how babies are made...

CaptainCaveman · 25/04/2010 14:01

and honestly? I am absolutely fine about it. Life is good and kind and I am happy

dizzydixies · 25/04/2010 14:06

I am crazily being tempted bythis for DD2 and D as Daisy is one of D's fav things at the minute, although not the programme - the £5 tickets are an utter scam though

right D now awake so definately off

alittlebitshy · 25/04/2010 14:15

cc glad your af turned up so you know what is what, iyswim.
dizz what a lot to deal with
gg bless little E re the COFFEE of Christ and the nice lady. i am very lucky as when we had been here 2 yrs dh scrapped the old service and started up 2 to replace it - one trad (old biddies) and one modern (music wise - still trad in terms of liturgy being in there- just a diff style of it) so we are ultra kiddie friendly. Plus i hope that if news folks see the vicar's ds lollopoing around, having snacks , etc etc (oh and saying rather loudly "more boobie" they won't sorry about anything their dc do!

CC ROFL at 'he is a fairly intelligent man'

dizzy once again you show yourself to be a far, far better woman than I will ever be...since having J I can't even read sad headlines about kittens, yet you deal with the hard stuff every day (as well as the shift bitches).

OrangePetal · 25/04/2010 14:40

hi all, back later

TwilightSurfer · 25/04/2010 15:09

Oops missed that. Could you repeat?

Captain I figured that was your stance.

I AM STARVING!!! Still an hour before food...for me. I want chicken tacos from the Market!

Hi all.
oops hope you and hector are doing ok
House of Whinge here today, S hasn't stopped all damn day, expect briefly when I forced him to nap, and DP and I got some jollies on (well we don't know when the hormones are going to kick in and kill my sex drive)
Did online due date calculator - Seems around 28th December
got to go, hope all ok.

poppysocks · 25/04/2010 16:22

What a few days dizzy. Hope today is brings a happier call or two (like finding the girl).

I am at your 4-5cm calmness oops. Hope you're really doing ok and the baby stays put for a little longer (at least until she's facing the right way). Good luck!

Phew CC. Although at DH if he really doesn't want another DC.

On the DCs sharing thing, oops, my DH was the same but despite having the space for their own rooms I pushed ahead and he thinks them sharing is as great as I do - and they do. It's soooo lovely hearing them chatting away after lights-out or before they get up in the morning. They have their own, strong relationship that's nothing to do with DH and I and that's what we had more than one DC for.

that you were here so early again this morning loti. Hope the weather is nice there. A rained on bbq is the last thing you need.

How exciting QoD. A few days late and you might have a 1.1.11 - that was my great aunt's DOB, but the last time around . Or would 11.1.11 be even better?

alittlebitshy · 25/04/2010 16:47

qod does it feel real yet?

GladioliBuckets · 25/04/2010 16:55

Just bookmarking. Hungover again, burlesque club was a bit disappointing and hen night gang a little unenthusiastic but I had lovely ferry trip along the Thames today, saw some runners too.

QueenofDreams · 25/04/2010 17:22

ALBS yeah feelingmore real now -getting my head round it I think
poppy DPs annoying spoilt brat of a cousin has his bday on 1/1. Life would be hell if this one decided to share a birthday with him
S still whinging.

oopsandbabycoconut · 25/04/2010 17:29

Sorry about the . post earlier it occurred whilst I was snoozing I can only assume it was a cat.

Dh got all the baby stuff out the loft today - carseats, carrycot and boxes of stuff we had kept because it was special. We also found the bouncy chair and various baby carriers I was sure I had loaned to someone - so anyone wanting a babybjorn (old style) or a wilkinet let me know.

Dd menacing me for fish and peas for supper I guess I'd better get on with it. Dh has been an absolute angel this weekend I have not been allowed to do ANYTHING no washin/washing up/no carrying DD I have napped evey day for a few hours and he has amused DD, cooked for her, changed some interesting nappies and generally been MrAmazing.

DH is an only child and can't imagine having to share his personal space (moving in together was a challenge for him) so I think he can't see why making the girls share will be any fun. Will wait a year or so and move them in together whilst he is at work

oopsandbabycoconut · 25/04/2010 17:33

We were talking names again today and were discussing Katya (nn Kitty) DD was playing around my feet and I didn't think she was paying attention, when I was having a nap DH asked DD about her baby sister and DD replied 'our baby sister called Kitty' DH was [shocked] and we have realised we can't have any private conversations in her earshot anymore. She also grassed on FIL who apparently has chip when they went out and let DD eat some - 'she told us 'Gumpy eat chips yesterday, I like sharing chips a Gumps' He was so to be caught out.

dizzydixies · 25/04/2010 18:08

Morning, just checking in on Oops. DH working this morning (should be day off) & I start at 4pm (sigh) god I miss lazy wkends.

Happy Sunday all x

alittlebitshy · 25/04/2010 18:28

Nice oops. poppy and kitty sounds good
lol at grassing on gramps!

(dizzy how did you post that at 6.08pm when it was clearly about this morn? )

oopsandbabycoconut · 25/04/2010 18:39

I think it might be Dizzy's phone gone loopy - it startes exactly as her firstpost this morning did!

TwilightSurfer · 25/04/2010 18:50

Q you are too funny. Get it on now!! LOL!

Reese and I are sharing the most loveliest fresh squeezed frozen lemonade EVER! DH got us a HUGE one and it's delighted us all the way home from the Market. Sadly the sourness is stuck on DD1 who is whining about everything. She must be insync with Seb Q.

So Oops will Poppy's name choice stick? I made DD1 say all our top choices before Reese got here. I had to be sure it sounded nice from kid lips.

DH vacuuming his car after we devoured a large sack of kettle corn driving home. He made me take it from him because he'd eaten too much.

Evening all

Just passing through en route to another glass of wine after a boozy afternoon at friends' house

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend, I have noticed that [phew]s are in order for oops still being pregnant and cece not being so

Right better go and wake DH who has fallen asleep putting DS to bed... laterz

cyteen · 25/04/2010 20:02

oops I love Katya nn Kitty and agree it goes well with Poppy the supergrass

QueenofDreams · 25/04/2010 20:33

ladies with more than one dc. Come tell me that it's ok please. Having a major wobble right now. I feel so uncertain. Maybe it's hormones because I was feeling fine the rest of today.

cyteen · 25/04/2010 20:47

After a whingy day with a toddler, you're bound to be feeling a bit uncertain QoD. But you know, it will be fine

oopsandbabycoconut · 25/04/2010 20:53

QID - I had exactly the same panic when I found out - I was worried about DD and how she would cope, how I would cope how DH and I would ever have time alone again. I won't lie and say it resolved itself instantly I was still struggling at 20 weeks but DD has grown and changed so much in the last few months that I just know it will be fine. She has developed a really strong bond with DH, is happy to go to either set of grandparents, I have found her independance has made it easier. Seb will grow and change a huge amount between now and Christmas and he will be a very different boy.
