Hi everyone - now I understood what you meant Dunoon! I hadn't looked at the amount of messages!!

Basl - I can count on one hand how many dresses I have owned/worn in my lifetime, so doubtful Though I do still have one!! Maybe I should make it my aim to get in it? I must look for a picture of myself in it as it was bought for my friends wedding.

Anyway, you were going jogging!! Much more impressive than me - I dod it in my front room - which, if you could have seen me was fair enogh - my tummy was boinging up and down and my knickers falling down - attractive and then i needed a wee

ill wait to see what others think?

Hope Tate picks up soon.

Great news Dunoon

Nipper in the car Basl, but it is chucking it down! Not going out in this. Will take pictures either tomorrow or Thursday.

I should be getting my sunshine kids caddy tomorrow hopefully!

Basl, I felt sick when I got up this morning incase I missed the parcel force bloke. How sad am I!

nicolamumof3 · 30/03/2010 17:55

thats good news dunoon.

he's changed his mind constantly over the last year. And when he saw me in tears this morning he said ok we can have another...i said no i don't want a baby if he doesn't what start in life? I am really upset about it. I do think it may come between us ultimately. We had all this out before we married and he said he would have another then changed his mind blah blah blah. I can't do it anymore so have said he needs to have a vasectomy and all the baby stuff has to go. Just been crying my eyes out luckily i was upstairs cleaning bathroom so boys didn't notice.

kit84 · 30/03/2010 18:16

Oh Nic, that's what I've said to DH, if he def doesn't want another then he will have to wait for "business" til he sorts himself out a vasectomy as I couldn't have an abortion and he would be really unhappy which is also no way to bring up a baby. Hope you're ok.

hello all by the way, been busy as anything and still not ironed any clothes for going away

5in tray arrived thank you will sort your money out asap.

Be back on later to say fare thee well for a week

Sorry to intrude, someone was interested in buying my custom Zapp set & I cannot for the life of me remember who it was - was it anyone from here?

StrictlyKatty · 30/03/2010 19:41

Oh Nicola that's so sad It's not fair to chop and change his mind all the time.

Sometimes I feel DH is a bit too the other way he said he was fine with 1 or 2 or 3 and 4 or how ever many 'I wanted' I worry that he's really not that bothered either way! I'd like him to actually be bothered either way!

janx · 30/03/2010 20:07

Oh Nicola - that is really tough. My dp didn't really want to have another after dd and we both kept dithering about it - and then I just decided I did and he agreed. It is so much harder for women - it is definately an urge and a need to have another...he obviously doesn't feel the need so strongly and of course you just don't want him to go along with it. Can he pinpoint why he doesn't want another - finances, stress, tiredness?...hope you feel better

5inthebed · 30/03/2010 20:13

I didn't want any after having 2, DS3 was a surprise. Now that he is here, ( do feel that I would like another, but had my tubes tied while they were getting him out, so no more babies for me. Me and DH have discussed the idea of adoption though.

nicolamumof3 · 30/03/2010 20:18

ummm his age he was 40 last year...we can't afford it we haven't room etc.

i have just pinpointed why i so desperately want another.

After I had Tom i never wanted any children..i went through a stressful divorce then another nightmare relationship. Then met terry...who wanted children NOW! we had Tate v.quickly and i was sooooo happy i completely concentrated on him during the day whilst tom was at school. Went to all the groups, cooked organic food blah blah blah. Then shock horror when Tate was just 10m i was pg again...! We had talked about another but i didn't want one so soon. Terry was ecstatic i cried! Then realised how fab it would be two close together etc playmates and yes it is lovely but also bloody hard and i've realised i've not enjoyed each of the little ones as much as i would if i'd had them further apart. I stopped enjoying Tate as much as i was suffering bad sickness then spd. Then preoccupied with a newborn. They were both such lovely babies as well. Sorry to go on maybe i should show dh this post so he understands? -sad]

nicolamumof3 · 30/03/2010 20:19

any MORE children that should read (after i had tom!)

janx · 30/03/2010 20:25

40 - thats no age at all

I know what you mean about appreciating them when they are little and having a bit of space to enjoy them while they were young. I feel second time around I appreciate the stages more as I know how fleeting they are - with dd I couldn't wait for her to move onto the next stage - ds is so much more of a baby

5inthebed · 30/03/2010 20:25

Nicola, you had such a tough time

My friend who has a 7 month old is pregnant! And it was planned. Her DS is such a lovely baby, so relaxed and easy going, I hope this one is the same.

nicolamumof3 · 30/03/2010 20:28

oh my she will be busy..but then again its easy you feed them, change them, sleep all toghether if you're lucky of course. my boys had and still have a good routine they had lunch and slept every day 2hrs or more every afaternoon was lovely.

luka fell asleep this afternoon on bus to town just as i was due to get his new sandals (yes sandals don't ask!!) fitted in clarks. typical.

i know what you mean about still being baby's Jan i call luka my baby and he'll soon be three. i ask him are you big boy or baby? he says baby he wee'd in potty again tonight! may try him in pants tomorrow when at home.

Divatheshopaholic · 30/03/2010 20:39

Aww, Nicola Sending you hugs,
Dh is turned 40 last year, and we decided not to have more children as you know. I personally think 40 is huge milestone in men`s life. He may be under stress, shock, mid life crisis. It must be hard, but please do not let this take your life apart, you have loving husband and beautiful boys.

janx · 30/03/2010 20:47

oh he is doing so well with his wees in the potty
Luka has come down with an awful cold and cough - he is still not asleep - just given him capol and dp is in with him....think I will not be going to work tomorrow...and I am supposed to be finishing off something to send to my manager - not doubt she will be on my case

Divatheshopaholic · 30/03/2010 20:49

Janx, im dreading the toilet training We need it cracking before september, but not started yet

nicolamumof3 · 30/03/2010 20:53

i would love to get luka out of nappies before our hols. but life doesn't go like that does it! look at Tate he was in nappies til 3.5yr but then trained day/night in a few days so was easy in the end.

janx · 30/03/2010 20:54

diva - am not thinking about it - he just isn't ready - dd was 2.5 and it was a breeze - but ds hasn't any interest - he used to pull at his nappy when he did a poo - now he dosn't bother. When is your ds 3 - is that sept?

Divatheshopaholic · 30/03/2010 21:07

Ds is 3 in August and starting full time nursery at primary school in September. Im worried, he will be the one who will bring wet trousers everyday.

basl · 30/03/2010 21:09

Evening everyone, fLyme glad to hear about your school choice. Does that make you a wee bit happier about staying in kent?
Maxy hope you have a wonderfull holiday i wish it was me it sound great. I think you will all be needing a change of scenery and looking forward to hearing how you get on.
Well Nic you know what my feelings are on men and midlife crisis and it does't sound like terry is having one. Maybe he is just so happy with the way his life is just now and as you say yourself the boys are really coming on great and so happy with each other and look at that lovley bond they have. I only had daniel if you remember because dh was so ill and due an operation which would stop any chances of us having any more children so i felt rushed into it. I think my dh did too and because daniel has been so hard work and now the houshold so much more hectic i get the feeling he always looks back to how life was. However he loves his little boy but maybe not so much the extra work.Terry sounds like he adores you and maybe looking forward to spending more time with you?
Check me out with all this advice. Never anygood at giving myself any.
I am not buying a nipper so 5in don't rush to take any pics although still would like to see it. I think there has been enough buying and selling prams in this house and i am going to make do with removing the wheel to get out the front door and in the better weather i can take it out my patio doors.

nicolamumof3 · 30/03/2010 21:14

diva i wouldn't worry at just turned three they must expect that? don't rush him..can he not go in nappies? i thought nurseries had to take them in nappies.

found out today that luka will change to afternoon sessions come september..and do every day> plus each session increasing to 3hrs because government funding going up woopeee! so get every afternoon off

janx · 30/03/2010 21:23

They will be used to it diva - 3 is still very little....although you won't believe this - my friend has his son at a nursery (private) near by and at 2.2 they instead on potty training regardless of whether they are ready. Friends ds clearly isn't ready and not complying with their stupid rules and they had the cheek to complain to my friend about his son

FlyMeToDunoon · 30/03/2010 21:25

Thank you basl. I have mixed feelings about school. 95% positive but now feel it is fixed we will stay here and I cannot take the children away from all they have here. If DD had not gotten a place I would have had very serious thoughts of insisting we move to scotland.
Have felt very low recently with all that's happening in my life......so bad last night.....and then started period today
Sorry if that's tmi.

nicolamumof3 · 30/03/2010 21:25

fgs how old fashioned is that? totally ridiculous it would be bye bye to that nursery for me. Thats mad.
