hi MissyMooMoo

my dh isnt scared but i am a little worried about coping with two babies hes probly scared we will have another girl...he would like a boy, my son is from a previous relationship although i know he would be happy either way as he loves his little girl to bits.

im not getting into the whole charting stuff yet...it confuses the heck out of me, we are just seeing what happens for now, how about you?

the more i think about being pregnant again the more excited i get, i loved being pregnant, how about you did you have easy pregnancys, births?

sorry about all the questions its just nice to talk to someone in the same boat as me

tasha

Im not sure if im afraid yet as it hasnt realy sunk in, i havent even told Dh yet as he has been away and i want to tell him in person and im not sure how he will react to the news, any sugestions on how to tell him would be good lol.
DS2 is a real handfull so i think i will have my work cut out for me, he will have just turned 2 when bub is due

[Papillon]

tasha- oh yes... i love being pregnant too... although my last pregnancy was pretty much ruined for us at around 21 weeks due to my fiance being crushed in a machine at work, and also i got osme bad news whcih could of affected the baby... in the end all was ok and his birth was perfect! Our first born was traumatic birth but, it was my first! lol I am looking forward to being pregnant, altho i did want to loose the weight i have put on from the last two, but at the same time.... the desire to have a bubs has been stronger so.. lol

Goodluck on getting some boy swimmers there! lol

Dash- oh wow how excitng so you till need to tell dh! Well, is he a cake person? you could make him a cake, and with the icing writing stuff write on top of it, your gonna be a daddy again, or IM PREGNANT, OR... nice and simple, just a card from the heart telling him of tbe news lol

there is so many ways... you could almost make it a xmas surprise for him lol... wrap a card in xmas wrapping with he news in it heheheh

Im kinda nervous as i would need to either bring our wedding forward or push it back to have a bubs.... but we dont really mind. The weddign was going to be pretty casual anyways. Im a little dissapointed about my weight thing, but..... i just cant ignore this desire anymore so.. ahhh its all so confusing sometimes...

Hi girls

Dasharity- i reakon you should go with the christmas theme with telling your dh...mabye wrap your pregnacy test or something

MissyMooMoo- i am also worried about my weight, i would have liked to have lost some before we started trying but im not too worried because i lost weight whilst pregnant with Lucy. but still its my new years resolution to seriously diet We got married when i was 30 weeks pregnant it was quite a small wedding around 70 people and quite casual, i bought a dress that was too big an had it altered to fit my huge tummy, i drove us home from the reception which was so funny and at 1am i got a call from my mum to take my son to the hospital because he got croup...nice way to spend a wedding night...in emergency!!! he was fine and we went away for a nice relaxing honeymoon the next day.

sounds like you had a bit of stress in your pregnancy...is your DF ok now?
i love being pregnant and besides a bit of all day sickness i had no worries...and a very easy labour, just 2 hours

hope your having a great day

tasha

[Dasharity]

yea i wqs thinking of getting ds1 to write him a card and have it in that, he comes home tonight and i havent seen him in 2 weeks so i am pretty excited.

[New Dawn]

tali- omg yes... i have questions dont you worry... how did you find the jump from 2 to 3?

Sorry I have taken so long I couldnt get onto BB yesterday and have been busy this morning with prep stuff...

Anyway I guess I should have really looked at the age gap of you kiddlets 1st as I can only really speak for my age gap which is 3 yrs so 6 yrs between 1 and 2... The biggest thing I had to get used to was school drop off and pick up as DS was in 1st year and DD2 came half way though, so she had to work around us not us working around her... this has made her a very easy going baby one who would learn to sleep when ever where ever....

I cant say I found the jump too bad ( hence why we are going again... ) I found that number 3 not just mine but alot of friends I know with 3 will also say this... Its almost like number 3 just slips into your family...

I always say to those who are thinking about 3 this...

Your 3rd child is born knowing its the 3rd, as while in tummy it can hear all the noise on the outside so come out knowing that it has a place in the family... While you were UTD with #1 it was nice and quite and only the sounds of mum and dad... #2 it was nice and quite as lets face it when you have only 1 there isnt much yelling going on.... But when #3 is on board they hear a LOT of noise, as 1 and 2 are fighting you are yelling at 1 and 2 to leave each other alone and so on and so on, so #3 comes out knowing it isnt alone in the world so learns to sleep though anything learns to defend itself very early on...

Everyone who meets me and DD2 will always say gee you can tell she is #3 lol I think that has alot to do with me been quite laied back so dont stress to much if she picks something of the floor to eat, hasnt harmed her yet she has been the heathest bub I have had.... Best of luck TTC # 3 they are a compleat joy....

Dash... The best way of telling a DH about the next baby I actully heard from it hear but LOVED it and will use it when I am UTD with #4....

Take a picture of yourself and put it in a card and write....

Cost of card $ 2.50
Cost of photo .50 c

seeing your face when you realise there are two of us in this photo priceless....

Well I like it anyway.... Goodluck tonight....


Just checked the age gaps so alot of what I said will apply to you with school/ prep next year

tali- thats great that card thing about telling hubby about the next baby wish I could of used that, but my hubby already knows I might be pregnant anyway.

Well I am going from 2 little people to 3, and my youngest is only 8 months so I too will have 2 babies to contend with, and a very bossy 3 1/2 year old! I want a 3rd but it certainly is a big decision especially when your going from a girl and a boy to a 3rd child cause your not actually still searching for the girl or boy you didnt get. We wont be finding out the sex this time either cause it truly doesnt bother us now.

so yay for us going for no.3 I am very nervous and excited too!
