i'm at my dad's for lunch so i must keep it quick, just wanted to pop on to see if there was any news
you girls are bad!!!! you were meant to all talk me out of having #3 but all you've done is talk me into it!
dh is 100% definite no, i'm 50%.....so i'm not sure whether it's worth pushing him over and creating an 'issue' iykwim? i guess if i was 100% yes then it would be worth pushing for. he thinks i should be happy with what i've got. all we ever wanted was 2 little boys and they're soooo beautiful and more amazing than i ever even imagined. does the yearning for another ever go away or is it something that you just accept is part of being a mother?
dh has bribed me by saying that we can buy the boys a puppy next year......i've been eyeing off a couple of spoodles....i would definitely get a girl one so that i wasn;'t the only lady in the house
arte- i am interested in montessori too but i can't really work out if it's worth it or not, as there is a kinder just opened near us that is montessori.
trill- good work on the housework. wanna come and do mine now?
clare- now that you've been to sienna i think you should call your possible future dd Sienna
anyways, must be off i guess......how is everyone else going with day sleeps? lewis is still needing one everyday. what age do most kids drop theirs?
Hey G! I think you have to work out whether you love the idea of another baby or the reality of another baby. For me, I am still totally in love with the idea of another one, but definitely not the reality. As time goes on it gets easier to deal with, but never goes away fully and I'm starting to think that it's normal to feel like that.
As for day sleeps, Alister has gone back to having one 5 days out of 7 and will sleep up to 3hrs! Some kids will have dropped it by now and other will still have one for a long time yet. From memory the girls had dropped theirs by about 2.5yrs-ish and Lindsay was well over 3, probably closer to 4 because I remember that when I had Paige I could get all 3 of them to have a sleep at the same time most of the time and thinking it was awesome because I could sleep and we did that for several months.
hi trill,
yeah i think i might be in love with the idea of another baby....but i don't think i really really want one. i just look at jimmy sometimes and feel sad cos he's growing so quickly. he's sitting up now and sits at a highchair at the table with us and just looks so big...but i guess the nice part about that is that you move onto another stage and that stage is great too iykwim?
i think i'm coming around more to the puppy idea LOL
i wouyld love to get the boys in sync in having a long arvo sleep. that would be awesome. lewis really seems to still need that sleep, or he just falls asleep on the floor at about 4pm.
Ginger, day sleeps here are officially over. He will sometimes have a small kipper on the couch but I won't put him to bed anymore because it ruins night sleeping. I think I am the same about a third baby - I hate to think that A might be the last and she is getting so big already but the day to day grind with 3 kids... Doesn't help that DH is a fence sitter too, if I said I wanted another he would agree.
Ozstar, hope you are off having a baby!
Clare, good luck with the IL's for the rest of the week. Does your DH know they are a bit mental?
We went to the river for a few hours today, DH showed W how to fish and then they spent ages looking for bugs under rocks. We are now the proud owners of a bunch of worms and some scary looking centipede things lol. He had a great time.
