    Happy Birthday to him JBM
    9 years.... sweet! If I were younger I'd go for 4-5 year age gaps, I reckon Get through the first hard years and into school, then go back again after some sleep!

    I'm not sure I would want to go back after sleep MadB, probably a good thing my boys are only two years apart

    Happy birthday to DS JBM, can't believe he's one!

    I figure I need the break before starting over again! It would be all-round awesome to have the baby and the sleep, of course....

    wow!! happy birthday Hunter!! as if it has been a year already!!! crazy =D

    I have thought about that MadB, doing it all with one and then start again fresh....but I think once I see the light on the other side I will stuggle harder doing it again =P better to just get it all done in one big continous forever go =P because we all know that sleep never happens again anyway, even when they are grown up =)

    By the time DS1 started sleeping through I was pregnant with DS2, so not too many full night's sleep. Maybe one day. All I know is that I'll take great delight in waking the boys up when they're teenagers and just want to sleep

    exactly right MadB, truth is, I am happily giving up all my sleep for my little alien, and all little aliens that choose to join us in the future, whenever they choose to join us. =)

    hehe Lise, revenge is sweet!!

    Oops sorry Saffy, i've cleared my inbox now if you want to try again thanks. Sorry to hear about your nan How are you coping? Hope you survived your first day on your own ok? its a little daunting when its just you and your bub left alone all day...and not too fun dealing with the almighty poo explosions!! How is your precious princess going?
    It great that you are feeling ready to DTD again...even just thinking about it is great i think. My poor DH says he feels like a virgin again...our 'relations' are very few and far better, just dont feel like it AT ALL!!!....yep my libido (oohh i remember that once) has up and gone and left the building and left the town and left the state and left the country all together i think!!!

    Hi girls,
    thought I'd pop in and say hows everyone going?

    I am curentl a single mother temporarily, as DH has had to fly to the UK to see his father who is very sick and probably won't make it to the end of the year. He's gone by himself, ( very upset about leaving DD) as a) we can't afford to all fly to uk and b) DD hasn't got a passport yet. We will probably have ot go over later in the year, so I will have to get the passport thing sorted and start saving. Its going alright actually, theres no pressure to have dinner organised and ready in the evening ( baked beans on toast is my new best friend) and I can do some sneaky cosleeping but otherwise of course we are missing him.

    We just went through a big wonder week too, so luckily that is over. Otherwise I am blessed to have a very easy, happy little girl who is the best thing that ever happened to us. And, yes, i am already sick of people telling me 'be careful you'll probably fall pregnant now' or 'when are you going back for another one?' She's only 3 months old for crying out loud.

    Yogi- I hear you on the libido thing, I don't think DH and I are ever awake at the same time in bed so thats a bit of a problem too, oh well, hopefully things will pick up again at some point. Weird how when you are pregnant you are up for it constantly then its all over after the baby comes.

    Hope everyone is going well xx
