OBVIOUSLY I have changed my name.

We have 2 kids. Dp does not want more. Our second child in particular was a bloody hard baby.

I don't especially want more

dp really really really doesn't want any more.

period has not arrived today.

Very very faint line on all the seven tests I have done so far.

crappola. PLEASE be nice, don't tell me I am a fool and an eegit.

I had plans for my life, I am not THAT young and I need to get on with them if I am to Make Something Of Myself.

Crap.

have you spoken to him mrs s?

morningpaper · 22/05/2007 20:33

I've got two really bad sleepers

Did I press the wrong button?

Good luck Mrs S we are all thinking of you x

OtterInnit · 22/05/2007 20:34

ooohh precious this is only the start
You must have seen these stories so often on here over the years and they always have the same happy ending
these first few days will be hard - but the rest of your life will be good

"DS3 was a doddle, comparatively speaking, and nine years later family life is great."

NINE YEARS LATER????

katierocket · 22/05/2007 20:37

Me too MP (as my numerous dull threads on the matter show). DS1 bad (thought it couldn't be worse) DS2 much worse - but still cute and even on 4 hours sleep a night I still wouldn't change him...(well OK I would a bit but you know).
It will be OK. IN fact, it will be great. 3 is lovely.

WendyWeber · 22/05/2007 20:43

"nine years later family life is still great"

I'm sure that's what rebel meant to put

expatinscotland · 22/05/2007 20:43

Tell him, you'll be fine!

Am .

We can't afford another one - and I don't mean in the MN sense, I mean in the I'd have to get an abortion, that's how little we could afford it - so it's a non issue.

Congrats.

mozhe · 22/05/2007 20:45

You can have another baby AND make something of yourself.....I'm having no 6 ...don't despair.

clutteredup · 22/05/2007 20:49

wow mozhe i am in awe - mind you after 3 what's another 3....?

I think it was on a previous MN thread someone referred to their number 3 surprise as 'bonus baby', as in 'buy 2 get one free' I remember thinking that was a great way of putting it, and often refer to DD2 as such. She is my bonus baby, she's great. Mrs. S are you back yet, haveyou told him?

SenoraPostrophe · 22/05/2007 21:50

at the 9 years later.

I think you must've pressed the wrong button, mp.

MrsSausage · 22/05/2007 21:50

well am not telling him tonight

he is being a total ar$e about something entirely unrelated

i think i need time to come to terms with this

and he IS going to strop. he will. and i can't face it right now.

aww Mrs S

unknownrebelbang · 22/05/2007 21:52

lol, yes I meant 9 years later life is STILL great.

DS3 just fitted in, (he had no bl**dy choice, with everything else around us at the time).

SenoraPostrophe · 22/05/2007 21:54

MrsS, I thought dh was going to strop when I told him about number 3. But he didn't. I really underestimated him in fact.

but yes, wait till you're not pissed off with him.

ProjectIcarus · 22/05/2007 23:12

err my second is a fantastic sleeper so you don't always get more of the same. And a small round brass object went clunk here.

You are superwoman. you are intelligent you can do this.

Oh and er I am normally MrsApron.

LongDistanceClara · 23/05/2007 00:24

MrsS, hope you're having a peaceful, unwakeful night's sleep x x x

LadyTophamHatt · 23/05/2007 07:55

I hope you're feeling better this morning mrsS and that you slept well.

I found I was all over the place for a few days when I found out(well actuallyy the whole 9 months really, you probabaly read some of my threads. I was a wee bit manic...but I won't mention that now) I was PG with ds4. I'd be over the moon one minute and shitting bricks then next...but like Senora I feel I underestimated DH too.

He shocked me with his Ok-ness

toomuchtodo · 23/05/2007 07:58

good luck if you tell him soon mrs S!

he may take it well and surprise you!

DANCESwithnewlytannedlegs · 23/05/2007 08:25

Just checking to see how sausage-gate was progressing. Mrs S - think you made a wise choice last night, men in strop definitely not receptive to other things (to use the men are from mars metaphor they just need to get in their caves and deal with it)
Hope he's in a better mood today. Fingers crossed for you...really want to send those virtual hugs but am restraining myself

sniff · 23/05/2007 08:38

Just wanted to know how you were and I hope things look clearer this morning

curiouscat · 23/05/2007 08:57

On tenterhooks now to hear if you told him. Good luck. I had our 3rd when eldest was 4yo, it's been fine and lovely. Such fun being outnumbered by children in the household. If you proceed you'll find there's always enough love to go round (cheese alert).

MrsSausage · 23/05/2007 09:13

ah no tis not so good

he is saying he can't cope

he is saying that from his pov a termination is the only option he can cope with. He is not trying to pressure me, he is being honest, and I did tell him to be honest, so.

I am getting to a point where i am ok with it

I cannot terminate, he knows that. We've been here before, twice (in my pre MN days).

i honestly don't know what to do.

oh and both kids sick and up half the night so i am shattered
