pregnant check

currenlty living on 26 per week per person check

live in a 2 bedroom 2 sun room home with 4 kids check

loads of love

OH YEAH!!!!

what do i do? i mean when your pregnant ya think 1 child more being added to ya family, how will i balance it all. Do i buy another cot? My gosh so much my head is thinking. Already think what to do as 1 sunroom is useless and drafty so no one sleeps in it and the other we have had to put thick curtains up and make do. Do u think we will be able to get another rental with 5 kids?

we already have the almost 1 year old in our room with us. I'm thinking better storage buy more better pieces of furniture to hide things and culling what i own hrmm.

I'm already starting the feel the hormones changing me a bit moody mind u am tired. this is gonna be some roller coaster with a fab surprise at the end wooohooo

as long as its healthy hey.

I'm sure if you need another cot or something, some BB chicks can get together and donate stuff to you.

If we are definitely moving to Tassie you can have ours, cos the less crap I have to take down there the better!! LOL

hun things will always fall into place if you open yourself up for them to

Big hugs, I know how stressful it can be. I had 2 on my own, got pregnant to 'the man of my dreams' for him to walk out 3 months later... I didn't know what I was going to do either! How was I going to afford it, how were we going to live in this tiny cramped 2br house in a crappy area, how was I going to get a cot, change table, clothes, nappies etc...

BUT now I have moved into a lovely house where we all fit perfectly fine, Ashton is clothed and fed and nappied (is that even a word lol) and they are all loved (and love me back) and I am the happiest I have ever been... and I am on my own, doing it on my own, and have been the whole time.

Things work out

You'll be fine!

i think you can get by without a cot.
do you have a portcot?
can you put the older ones on mattresses on the floor and use a cot your already have?

Things always manage to fall into place darl. I'm already planning on a few surprises for you

How big is your freezer again? hehehehehe

Plus BB is great, you'll have what you need. Don't stress, just focus on building that baby! We just gotta know what you need, and we'll all pull together.

I think it will work out just fine. Sounds like you have some willing helpers already

**squidipa** · July 17th, 2009, 05:17 PM

Im am sure that things will all work out in the finnish, as you said there is plenty of love in your house, and so long as you have that, the rest will sort itself out x

Number 5 was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for us. We'd already fiished our family and were talking vasectomy! DH had just taken a job as well as running his own biz to cover the bills and even then it was a struggle. I hated every moment of that dark tiny townie. I was so resigned to the family I had, I didn't bond with the baby I was carrying at all.

Somehow, it all worked itself out. DH is back to just his business. We got a big beautiful house. I cant imagine how I could not have been head over heels with Harry from the very second he was conceived, and we are celebrating number 6..

The kind of love you gather in such a big family can pull you through some of the toughest times. I don't doubt for a second that you will find a way to smile through every day.

Squidipa - nothing is confirmed yet - we're still in the waiting game

**Anila** · July 17th, 2009, 07:35 PM

Hun, it might not seam like it now, but u will get by.

We are ttc #6, and hubby is studying, and im a sahm, but my daughters dance my sons play soccer, they have nice clothes and pretty much never miss out on things.

I think for us, the one thing that helps, is having a great support network, whether, its family, friends, or online.

"Clearance" is my favourite word, followed by "sale", and then layby of course

Definatly invest in "storage" furntiture, if u are limited on space, and just before xmas i cull all the kids toys and donate what they dont use anymore, to make room for the new toys.

Good luck hun
