PMSL Nickers, I knnoowwwww, Everytime I jump on, I think, oh I should do an email and get that changed, lol. Ahh I guess subconsciously I'm holding on to my last pregnancy, lol. Nickers I am completely insane, lol, I have five children, lol, Who in their right mind does that to themselves, lol. I had three babies in three and a half years. They drive me completely balmy...... But I love it, think how close they will be later on in life. I prefer 2 years gap but yep there is 19 months between Nathan and Melissa, besides having two babies in nappies, I can't really find a down side, it's a good age gap.
Sounds like your kids will be close, Dee My two cousins are 18 months apart and are perfectly at odds with each other - always at each other's throats and competing with each other, even though they both live in separate countries (complete with verbal barbs not befitting of a brother and sister relationship!), so somewhere along the line, their relationship wasn't fostered as carefully as it could have been (probably because 18 months later my aunt was pregnant for a third time, followed a year and a bit later with the next...at least there was a 5 year gap between the next one, and then a manageable 2 years - I say manageable cos she was just over 40 yo by then, with the first 3 being quite headstrong little people!). So, I don't think close age gap alone will have kids being close, emotionally, to one another. My sister and I are 23 months apart and we only became 'close' about 10 years ago, and I know of others, still, who have big age gaps and are close as all get out. I think people have kids close together just cos they like the idea, rather than predominantly because they want them to be emotionally close.
Enough musing, more studying and tidying! I'll have to be careful not to spend too much time on here today or nothing will get done - looks like today will hover between wet-weather program and study (it's threatening to rain, so can't take Oscar outside later during a study break!).
Well, here's to all the nutters who have kids close together :P
I cant believe it!! That is such good news, what a great age gap for the kids too!
Im so happy for you.
Oh Lachlan is grabbing at his bits all the time!
IK - Like Oscar, Lachlan will go to anybody. I walked into a shop yesterday and he put his arms out to go to the lady behind the counter!! huh, makes me feel real good that does!!
Ali - Good luck with everything, you seem nice and relaxed about the whole thing, like you said, everything happens for a reason!!
Bath - I hope the boys get better soon. Lachlan hasnt been 100% lately, We spent the day on tuesday with a girlfriend of mine and her little girl. She called me on Friday morning to say that her little one had spent the night in hospital with Croup! so now im really worried that hes going to get it!
Well, i found my dress, its lovely, its like a silky slip dress with a silk and beaded overlay which flows really nicely at the bottom, really hard to explain, not your typical wedding dress, not even from a bridal shop, its really me, a bit different but still classic!
Ok girls i need to have a whinge, i mentioned before that lachlan hasnt been well the last couple of days, he has been doing heaps of poos and really runny ones too, he is really sweaty and just whingy. Anyway, i get home from sydney yesterday and DF tells me that he is going to a hotrod show today and then to the local fishing club weigh in! i was so angry, he said to me "well, i want to go and because YOUR at work Lachlan has to come!" I told him to for once in his life put someone else before him, I just think its so unreasonable, he will always put himself and what he wants to do before anything and its really driving me mad. I just dont know what to do, i dont think im being unreasonable asking if he can stay home for one day do you?
We have been really bickering alot lately and its starting to get out of hand, im actually starting to wonder if a wedding is the right thing for us at the moment!!
