I finally let the cat out of the bag this afternoon. Mark now knows that we are expecting again. Admitidly I let him know when there was someone else here. Not within their earshot though and we were both going out tonight seperately.
I did give him a kiss goodbye and said to him that he couldn't avoid me, it wasn't going to change anything. He isn't very happy, but I expected that anyway.
Well, I was woken very early by Tehya this morning. I had gone in over night and slept in bed with her to try to get her to stay in there. Come morning she wants to go into daddy, so I do the same. I hear what I thought was Mark laughing, but no he was crying. Of course I feel bad, but it still managed to get back to how bad this was and how much it was going to affect everything. And he said everything but that word.
So, it looks like I am back to square 1. Or not quiet, I mean, sure now he knows. And yes, I was exactly right on the response I got.
Trish, I think the way he is handling it is normal. He is obviously a smart man who has thought the whole thing through. I think him feeling so bad is because he has thought about another baby previously perhaps and has seen the worst case senario (we all know babies are hard work and can cause a lot of stress within a family).
So now to work on not getting to that place, but to a much better place
Remember we are here for you.

Trish,
I'm so sorry that you got that kind of response. I hope that in time Mark will accept and come to enjoy the prospect of another baby.
Thinking of you
Oh girls I know that his response is normal. Although I am now wondering if I am being selfish. I mean, if he truely believes that this baby would be such a burden do I have blinkers on ?? I know only too well how hard little people can be. Tehya stil wakes up nearly everynight. And Noah still won't wipe his own bum !!
Am I doing the wrong thing by sticking up for this little baby. It's all too bloody hard and confusing
