WOW i've added more friends on facebook in the last 24hrs than the whole time I have been on there. Well not quite but it feels like that. All my uni friends have about 4000 friends each and always tease me about my small but special collection!
Tildy, I have also hit the countdown to EDD. One day I feel really good and strong and then the next I spend most of the day crying. I somehow had managed to stop counting the phantom weeks which made things easier but now that uni has finished I have more time to think about that kind of stuff.
DS has been really funny about everything lately as well. I filled you all in on some of the things he has been saying. Last night at dinner he bursts out and says 'Mummy I know a good name for a new baby', when I asked him what it was he said 'Charlie'. I had to try and explain that it was Charlies's name and we would think of another name together when it was time to make another baby. Then this morning during breakfast he says 'Mummy, I don't want us to make another baby', when I asked him why he said 'Charlie is my favorite and I don't want another one'. I tried to explain that one day Charlie might send us a new baby to take care of and he just got really sad and said 'But I don't want her to Mummy, I just want Charlie'. I wasn't quite sure what to say after that, he was so adamant and I was trying not to get upset and didn't want to say the wrong thing. Niether DH or I are sure how to tackle this one. We're just going to see if he forgets about it and if not come up with a plan. He is such a loving BB to Charlie and I think he feels the same kind of betrayal I'm sure we all feel when we first start making plans for a new baby, or trying to move on with our lives. I guess I'll just try and explain to him that we can still love Charlie just as much as ever but will also have another baby to love and play with.
Who would have thought I would ever have to explain such things to a 4yo.
