Crumpet - oh sweetie - poor DH. It is tough, so tough, tough on you and DH. I think you can help him best just by being there and being honest. Now isn't the time to hide away those feelings, and same for him. The way through is by supporting each other. Maybe as hard as it is, you can do something to make this pregnancy special? I am having trouble with ideas for you - maybe a special dinner, or setting aside a quiet time every week to just talk and allow yourselves to dream and hope a little or if you can't do that yet, just to have some peace in the moment. My poor DH is in a "drought" too, but we try and still show our affections. Holding hands, an email, a txt, a silly note left somewhere unexpected, a card in the mail, doing something special for each other - cooking a fav meal or making a hot drink for the other. Or in my case, sometimes it's trying not to talk his ear off about things he really isn't interested in and just let him have some quiet time. That is sooooo much harder than it sounds. LOL. Sometimes DH will bring home a treatie for me - a freddo or other lolly. I must be sad if I find that exciting. But I do. What it means is he took the time to think of me and then did something about it. How cool is that? Your relationship with your DH is important and worth celebrating. It's easy to let our much desired goal take all the attention ..... try not to forget yourselves and how much you care for each other in the process of trying to achieve your dreams. Oh I just realised why my catheter experience wasn't painful.... perhaps the epidural had something to do with it? God I feel so dumb..... only taken me 18 months to work that one out.

AFM- well Fur baby 2 is having his tooth extracted today. I am not as anxious or upset as I was 2 weeks ago for fur baby #1, but still am a little anxious especially when he appears to have lost 400g in 3 weeks. Will hopefully get some answers on that either later today after he is weighed with different scales or tomorrow when his blood work comes back. As for now I am just counting down til 4.30pm - his discharge time, then I can fuss over him. He is truly my fur baby. I spent a lot of time cuddling him last night and this morning and just listening to his intoxicating purr. It is truly one of the best sounds in my world.

A big hello to Susie Q, Angelic, Chez, ChrisW, Tenibear.
i have been thinking about booking a 3D scan for DH as a suprise, i know he doesnt see the need for them but i think he might enjoy just seeing bub 3D before it arrives.....
ive been trying to do things to make life easier for him to, like bake a cake or some biscuts for work, i cook every night and do all the house stuff, coz i know he feels the pressure with being the sole earner in the house atm......

might have to get more creative and do something else a bit more special...... thanks for the ideas hun anything helps atm.....

awww hope ur furbaby does ok with his op today!
