[maz]

Maz - TTC again ASAP .... well, we're not exactly taking any precautions IYKWIM but not exactly actively trying either But I have always had a feeling that we would have a huge family - well, ever since I was a teenager, I felt I would have at least 5 kids ... who knows

Jo - hope bubs stays put while your DH is away! I always had that fear too, my DH is an interstate truckie, and I was always scared that I'd go into labour while he was 12 hours away! Never did TFFT!!

Cathie - hope all is going well with your brood too!

[storm]

I don't know what size I'll need Maz, small or newborn? & I can't find anything in your shop, but then again, I'm dumb too. HELP!!!!

Gosh MM, I'd be scared with DH 12hrs away too, I'd probably freak myself into labour the moment he got too far away!woot at TTC again too!!

Why does everyone need to have an explanation for everything? Why is me and DH loving our children not enough reason for us to have 6? Why does the news that we are having #6 need to be met with "Well, I guess thats to be expected with Mags being 1 of 7".

Why was it, when my mum was having #6, people were saying "Well I guess thats to be expected with Gail being an only child"

WTF?

I wish people would stop trying to justify my life to suit their insane ideas of 'pre-disposition'. I am sick to death of every choice I make somehow becoming a reflection on my childhood. Why am I never given any credit for my decisions or blame for my mistakes - always my parents.

Its no wonder no one has any sense of personal responsibility these days. Its far easier to blame their parents.

Just had to get that out. Thanks for reading.

hey girls,
I wanted other baby that would make 6, Well hubby went away for two weeks. And it was really hard with the 5 children by myself, so I'm thinking that I will just stick to 5.
