Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts about your babies nursery. I guess it is a tough one huh? To be honest, I have really disassociated the nursery with Nicholas. Believe it or not we hang our washing on the clothes horse in there. I have always been able to go in there, on occasions I have sat in the rocking chair and cried my eyes out but overall I feel ok in there. I guess it is just now that the topic of packing everything up has come up it just feels weird you know. The thing is my parents are probably going to be staying with us for a few weeks (which will really cramp the TTC thing but what can ya do) in just under a month and we have nowhere for them to stay long term because with the kids the rooms are all taken up. So DH and I thought maybe it was time we bit the bullet and just packed everything up. We havent been successful in getting UTD anyway and we will be moving hopefully. I think I will need to leave it to DH to do it though, I just dont think I am strong enough. Maybe my sister or someone could come and help him, I dunno.
Bailey - I can imagine how hard it was when you found Asha's things, those pjs sound adorable and its just heartbreaking when you think of those things That is a really good thought you know, maybe we will just store the things that we want to change. Maybe we will want to use them if we have a 3rd bub. Bring on the m/s by the way! Cant wait for it myself - crazy chick I am! Your into Mexican at the moment? Well you need to get your butt down to Melbourne because as we all know I was Mexican in a past life Oh and I agree with Tommysmum your mum would be over the moon (not that I know her but you know...).
Tommysmum - I am so sorry I made you teary But you are right, whatever we decide it will be a hard decision. Those little nappies are so cute arent they? We had everything done. All clothes washed and put away in the drawers, we have a little change table caddy that is stocked with nappies and wipes and powder, and we have our baby bag packed. I havent touched any of it, I just couldnt. It probably sounds weird that we had done so much but Nicholas was born on 5 Sept and I was booked in to be induced on 22 Sept and wasnt finishing work until the week before so we had to be prepared - or so we thought anyway.
Spring - That is a great idea to get your parents and girlfriend to set everything up for you while you are in hospital. I keep thinking that, what if we pack it all up and then I dont have to strength to set it up again. But I never thought of that, someone we trust could do it for us. I remember when you were packing up Harry's thing and I remember how hard it was for you :hugs: And it was only a few months since he was gone too, gosh that would have been hard. I dont think I would have been able to do it that soon, you are such a strong person. I know alot of it is necessity but really we are ALL such strong women for living our lives each day.
Tess - Wow Tess that must have been so hard packing up your nursery the very day you got home from hospital. I understand why you felt you needed to, but my god that would have been heart wrenching. You will be able to set up a nursery next time and only pack it up when bubs needs a bedroom instead of a nursery!
Anyway, guess I had better go to bed - as Bailey pointed out it will be a busy night Wednesday night, and also we only meant to not DTD for a couple of nights beforehand so looks like its DHs lucky night! And I guess now that I have admitted I am on antidepressants (which I am currently weaning off of for the 2nd time, hopefully for good this time - fingers crossed) I can also admit that they take away most, if not all, of my sex drive So poor DH isnt getting it as regularly as he is used to LOL.
