trying not to get my hopes up

So maybe that pg dream was a bit of an omen!

DP says to me today that he intends to be with me for the rest of his life (we've decided against marriage due to cost and neither of us are religious).... and that he will give me a baby because it obviously means so much to me.

I did as he asked and stayed quiet on the subject, but today was crying after a nasty little tramp flaunted her babies in my face. What was most distressing is that she suffered a stillbirth herself. I was beside myself with anger and hurt. And that's when he said it.

For now I'm trying not to get all excited as he's said this before and backed out....... but I am happy he's come this far on his own, even if it goes back to maybe. Maybe is enough to keep me going. Time to start saving $$$ in case he is serious. And I really suspect he is this time as it came out of nowhere. Right now I'll just stick to saying YAAAAYYY!!!!

Congratulations, it is lovely that your dp has come this far on his own :happyforyou: It's so nice when they do that, isn't it. I am sorry about the lady flaunting her babies, you'd think after being through something so awful herself she'd understand. Good luck with the saving, and looking forward to seeing your pg announcement soon :D

If you all could see me right now, you'd see I'm wearing my thrilled face. Lol

DP has re-iterated how serious he is, and we talked at length about it. He's ready NOW! I am so shocked.... I never expected such a change of heart so soon. He says that we can go ahead when I feel ready, and has even thought about finances. He is offering to pay for anything we need, (he earns double what I do)and says he would much rather do this now than be an old man running after little kids. (He's 32, I'm 25). It means so much to me that he's ready to pool our funds completely... it's a big step.

Finally he is saying what I've been thinking... and I was right. His age has been a factor in us TTC. A good one!

Tomorrow, the fitness program begins... lol. I want to lose 5kg and get more in shape before I do this. Next, prenatal vitamins.

Time to switch forums I think. *big grin*

That's great news, really happy for you.

Regards,

GL TTC! My heart fluttered when I read what your DP said! That nasty cow flaunting her babies, what a mean *****!

Thanks for your thoughts, everyone.

Crazylady: that girl has been making babies since she was 15 or 16. And her mother defended her actions towards me. I guess denial comes naturally when your daughter is a................. @#$%^

And yes, my heart fluttered too when DP said what he did.... :) I told him I'm glad that little cow did it because it ultimately opened the door for us to discuss TTC... and we have decided we will. Some good came of it, so I say ha, suck on that to her. :)

I love when other peoples evil intentions backfire on them like this. Still, I am angry at them for having the audacity to be so self righteous when they're really just selfish nasty pieces of trash who only think of themselves.

Now, back to doing my little victory dance, and enjoying the pg dream I had last night. :)
