Welcome Elle! It's nice to hear things are going well with Lachlan. I am a SAHM also with two munchkins, Harrison (Harry) is 2 and Grace is 3 months.
Had a great mini-break with Stephen. So relaxing, we went to Yeppoon which is on the coast near Rockhampton and we went for a day trip to Great Keppel Island, which was nice except I got really sunburnt. We spent too much money though - I got a reality check when I came home and bought nappies and formula and saw our bank balance!
Great Keppel has one of those contiki resorts on it for 18-35 year olds. I felt so out of place there amongst all the single people my own age! Here's me and DH married with 2 kids and we felt old next to people our own age!
Spoke to SIL this morning. Her DH is being a real a@*hole about her being pg again. When she told him he said "That's bad news" then he went and sulked in his shed for a while then he came inside and actually said to her 'Have you thought about getting rid of it'. I couldn't believe it. So she said to him 'Have you thought about packing your bags, the baby is staying it's up to you if you stay'. So things are not good in their relationship atm. He won't talk to her and is being grumpy with the kids. Grrrr he needs to wake up to himself. I mean really if you think the withdrawal method is good contraception then you are asking for it. He knew she wasn't on the pill and she told him numerous times that she could get pregnant (which was fine with her), but now he is carrying on like she tricked him and it's the end of the world. Financially they are fine, he earns good money and they own a nice home and can afford to support another baby so that is not a reason to be so negative about it.
It just makes me mad, especially that he would suggest getting rid of it. So selfish and insensitive. I just hope he is not this way when the baby is born.
Anyway, that sounds like it belongs in punching bag! Better go organise dinner and hang out washing
