its up to you really, the pill has many pro's and con's, and each are different to each of us.....prehaps sit down with DH and talk about it more....tell him that if your not on the pill it feels like its killing the "moment"
My face is starting to go funny now too, but im looking at the mirina only cos i suck at remembering the pill, and we def dont want another for a while if at all, but DP thinks that he can dtd without ANYTHING and we'll be fine!! I wish he would "kill" the moment at those stages lol
I hope you can figure out what is best for you, if i were you i would take it, its not drastic, it will help clear your face and prevent any "accidents" until you are ready...but thats imo!!
Hope you are all well, I keep forgetting to come and see if anyone has posted
Sounds like all the toddlers are doing great, Charly your girls sound like cheeky little monkeys! Regarding the pill, I used Diane for my skin and it did work a treat but it's so unnatural pumping those hormones in if you don't have to. My skin is better since having Lewis although it has been bad since I was about 15 so I am an expert! How about trying a naturopath?
Celsie - I didn't know Lewis' daycare was preschool as such, it does only take 2-5 yr olds but until Tina mentioned it as a preschool I didn't know! He is in the 2-3 yr old room and they do have a school readiness program in the 3-5 yr old room but in his room it is pretty much play and songs, music etc.
Unfortunately he hasn't settled in there just yet, it's been heartbreaking I must say. I know everyone has to go through it and he will get better but the tears at drop off just kill us. When I go to collect him he launches himself at me and is sooo happy bless him. But it's his 3rd week now and he is slightly better. He only goes 2 days a week so maybe it will just take a bit more time.
Also a few weeks before starting daycare he began with seperation anxiety at bed time so this has only made things worse I think. It's really bad, when he goes into his cot if I leave the room he screams and cries hysterically. It's genuine fright so I have to stay in his room until he falls asleep which can be a bit of a nightmare. Even during the day around the house I can't leave him alone without him panicking and coming to find me, it's pretty bad. Has anyone else been through this, it's apparently common at this age.
Apart from that he is doing well, he only speaks in two word sentences really but can say most things now, when I go in first thing in the morning he says Hello Baby! He likes to sing 'Twingle, Twingle Star Star' which is cute. He is really good with numbers and letters and is just obsessed with books. We recently moved into a house form a unit so we are loving spending time in the garden.
Oh and another bit of news, I am nearly 8 weeks pregnant. Obviously I am very nervous about it after my miscarriage but I had a scan last week and saw a heartbeat so fingers crossed this one is a sticky one . NOONE knows as yet until my 12 week scan. Although my stomach is so big already I don't know how I will hide it!
Anyway must get off, I'm planning an early night, Lewis has been waking up between 5am-6am lately, it kills me! What time do your little ones wake up?
oh Sarah Congratualtions sweetie!!! Wishing you a very happy and healthy 8months!!
re seperation anxiety....Lachie went through it bad when he was younger, now during the day he'll just follow me around and stick to me like glue, it gets annoying but its not every day or all day, and its more like he'll miss out on something rather then actually missing me iykwim?
Lachlan speaks in 2-4word sentences, mainly 2-3word (i.e hi baby or wheres dadda Rick gone?, yes calls dad by his first name lol), like Lewis is really into books and loves numbers and letters.
As for what time he wakes up, well Lachlan still doesnt sleep through the night, so he can be up from 1-1000000 times, he'll 8/10 end up in our bed at some stage, he used to get up around 7-7.30, but now Rick has his own business his alarm goes off at 5.30...our new wake up time, sometimes i can get him back to sleep but generally only until 6-7 and not all the time either.
Congratulations Sarah! Wishing you a H&H pregnancy.
Re separation anxiety - Diana goes through phases. Sometimes she is more clingy and sometimes more outgoing. I think that it is natural for children to be a bit more clingy at this stage of their life (about two years old), as they are just beginning to realise that you are not always there, etc. Especially if he goes to childcare only a few days a week, it may feel like every time he gets used to being away from you, he doesn't go there for a few days and kind of has to "learn all over again" the next time. (I don't have personal experience with this, as Diana is not in childcare yet, but I remember a separate discussion about this topic in another thread, and the suggestion was that although putting kids in childcare a couple of days a week may seem gentler on them than putting them in full time, it may in fact take them longer to get used to it this way. But it sounds like Lewis is settling in okay, even if he's getting used to it only slowly, so I hope it goes well for you both.)
We took Diana to a Yo Gabba Gabba workshop at a local shopping centre today. She got to do some colouring in, got her face painted and met two of the characters (don't remember their names - the pink one and the little green one). I think she had fun, but she was a bit scared of being up close to the monsters. Very cute.
Congratulations SARAH!!!! That is such exciting news!!!!!!!!!
re Separation Anxiety - Chloe hates it when i go out even if she is being left with her daddy and big sister. It's horrible sometimes but it only takes her a couple of minutes and she's fine. Although when MIL babysits, it takes a few minutes more and then apparently she'll be fine for a while then all of a sudden get sad and ask for me But then, DD#1 has her moments too - I'm about to walk out the door, we've all done kisses and hugs and suddenly it's like she panics at the thought of me leaving It can be so heartbreaking one minute and *blush* annoying the next as it's the same thing each time. Thinking of all you mummies who have to experience this - not the best fun
xx
P.S. Starfish - I'd be scared of those monsters close up!!

: after thought :D
We've tried a new solution with Caeleb and his sleeping or lack of as the case was. A friend of ours took their kids to a sleep doctor who said they weren't getting enough food (hard to imagine) and that their diet should be 75% carbs, so feed them right up at dinner. Also, we moved him back into our room in the toddler bed, just to get him in the routine of sleeping through in his own bed, then gradually move him back into his own room.
It's working... he's sleeping through!!! 5 nights and counting!
