Misty love, you hug and LOL all you like, but I know you won't mind me saying that 'babydust' makes me want to throttle someone!
Anyway, it's interesting what you were saying about your age difference with your dh. I have a friend with a husband 10 years younger and she puts herself under enormous pressure as a result. I think if she's not careful it will become a self-fulfilling prophesy as she's always saying to him how old and haggard she is (I would keep quiet and hope he doesn't notice!) But seriously, if he loves you then he loves you regardless of a bit of extra weight and whatnot and if he does judge you on that, than you're better off without him! I am a mere 3 months older than mine but I am absolutely appalled at how much I have let myself go these past few months, I was bad enough being tired and pregnant but then after all this happening I am a wreck. I am going to start putting in my diary to do my nails once a week, and today I'm going to urgently see to my feet which are turning into hooves! We're going out for dinner tomorrow night and I'm deliberately wearing strappy sandals to make sure I do something about my feet. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but as a week at a luxury spa is out of the question, I'm just going to take it one neglected body part at a time until I start to feel a bit better about myself.
myangelava Hope you get through the funeral ok. I think it's especially hard to go through that when you've already got a lot of sadness in your life.
flower for what it's worth, I don't think there's an emotional element to conceiving - it's sperm meets egg at the end of the day. Don't worry about your age either, you're honestly still young. I hate the idea of being pregnant at 39 which is how old I will be, unless I get pregnant next month (as if all had gone to plan I was supposed to have my babymaking over by 38 which I thought was bad enough!) but I just try not to think about my age too much now. There are millions of women having babies well into their 40's.
stunned I think you'll know when you're ready to try again but it is nice that your husband is already asking as then you won't have to win him round!
Cinnamon I hope you're feeling a bit better too and glad there's no more UTIs in your household. When I was pregnant I lost a lot of weight after a hideous stomach bug and wanted to put on about half a stone. Cheese helped a lot, I had cheese and crackers every evening, could you try that? I also made myself have snacks mid morning and mid afternoon even if I didn't feel like it. I know what you mean about weightloss ageing you though, I think it's the French that say you can preserve your body or your face but not both.
mrsbigz I don't do any formal exercise at the moment as I reckon chasing a toddler around is quite enough for the moment. Also, I reckon (and this is probably nonsense) that you're more likely to conceive if you're a few pounds over your usual weight so that's why I'm not bothering to lose the few extra pounds I would ideally shift. You can borrow this excuse too if you like!
knitter hope you are a bit more awake tonight!
Anyway, must go and find a cheap b'day present for my husband.
Hope everyone else is ok and you all have good days.
