I do remember how scared you were the nights before your c-sec and how you were writing the girls letters just in case! It must have been terrifying. And you know you are right, you have 3 beautiful, happy healthy little ladies, when some people just cant have any at all. Better go before Becca bite Olivia for tormenting her!
Hi everyone,
its been a while since I logged in, but get the updates once in a while. All well here, Willow getting very tall, toilet trained (except at night when she is still in a cot because she won't stay in bed...though trying the bed again tonight). I have had her baby clothes out in the spare room for a long time now, finding it really tough to give them away. As much as I would love to have a 3rd DH is adamant it's not ever going to happen, so have to be happy with my two (both were IVF as he'd had a vasectomy before we met). Have spoken with a couple of friends who have older kids and most agree that it is a feeling that a lot of women have to want to have more....maybe that's why a lot of our grandparents (and some of our parents) had big families ....
Ok, have just had Willow come out, naked but for a singlet..sigh! Hope all of you girls and your little ones stay well
Jo
Great to hear from you, glad Willow is well. Good luck for tonight, hopefully she stays in the bed for you. Its so hard giving the clothes away, most of my girl's baby clothes are gone now But I did keep a few special outfits. I have also sold the bassinet and a few other baby things.
Hope you went ok with Willow last night Jo! And good to hear from you Ahh yes... thatfeeling of when to stop! Its a question I have been asking for ages! I asked my mum, who had 8 children (my brother was born when I was 17) and she said she would have kept going if I had have been happy about it (I used to look after the younger ones when she went to work, but my brother was born when I was doing my year 12 and I wasnt to thrilled at the time). So even after 8 she still wanted more! I wouldnt do 8 but 4 is doable... but .... lots of buts!
Well I have sold my wooden cradle. Now to get rid of the swing, the capsule and the clothes!!! Oh and I sart work in 2 days and am so very apprehensive.... of Adam! Hope he manages ok
Yay Lexie.... good stuff! Now the fun begins
Work went well. Adam did fantastic. Now just to keep going. I would be happy to do 1 or 2 shifts a week. I really dont want to work at all but in order to keep my nursing registration I have to do a minimum amount of hours over 5 years (around 480). I think I will be happy to start with 1 day a week. Just for some money and adult conversation. My children are still babies so I really dont want to miss out on much. Thankfully nursing gives me loads of flexability.
What are you doing in terms of work Rebecca? I like being a SAHM.... after years and years of working!
Glad work went well for you Mel. I love being a sahm too. Before I had Cadence I worked for an airline in the operations dept. After my 12 mths maternity leave was up I couldn't go back as there were no vacancies in any daycares for Cadence & work needed me full time. They'd already been ringing me before the 12 mths asking me to go back but I was adamant I wanted 12 mths at home with Cadence. Of course after I told them I wouldn't be able to go back to work a daycare centre called me 2 wks later saying they had a vacancy but it was too late, my job had been given away. The director at the daycare told me they needed staff & if I was will to study for my Cert 3 in children's services that she'd give me a job, so I worked at the daycare centre until not long before I had Lara. I loved it & it was a job where I actually got to see Cadence and didn't feel like I was missing out on her growing up. Plus one good thing about working in childcare is that I got every weekend & public holiday off.....there aren't many jobs like that anymore.
