Lol petal I wouldn't say super woman but cheers! I'm doing my midwifery degree! So fingers crossed ill be qualified in 4 years time

Hi all,

Maybe, sorry you are struggling with the idea of going back to work. Hopefully you will find it easier leaving A than you think.... and if not, then perhaps a 4th?!! hee hee

Kell, my friend is also about to start the 4 yr midwifery course... im so jealous! She reckons im going to be invaluable to her with my knowledge of swaying/pgd. She reckons it will come in helpful when she has to write essays

Petal, the school run is def the bit i am dreading the most with having three... especially as i take the dog along too and it would be a wasted opportunity if i didn't. Lets hope they are all co-operative most of the time!

Kell, yes i hope i don't have to go anywhere other than the usa too.... actually was just researching the cost of packages there but unless i confess all to my parents, i think it will look very suss to go there more than once (kind of a once in a blue moon destination). Even if i return to have a frosty transferred at some point, i think i will have to tell my parents what im up to. Somehow cyprus seems easier to keep secret and doesn't look so suss if we return.

So where are all our other lovely ladies? Lavender...you thinking of getting back on the swaying? Jo, how are things? anyone else??

Sunset/inglewood how are your gorgeous girls? Your fb updates about them keep me amused and inspired for the future.

Charlie.... Hoping Emmett is making good progress daily. One day you will be posting photos of chubby wrists and ankles

Hey everyone, long time no type :-) I have been staying off here for fear of triggering any girl related depression, I now have our 3rd son here, he is coming up 5 weeks. He is lovlely but gosh is hard work at times, my 1st was extremely hard work, very very colicy and a blimmin nightmare for the first year, my 2nd was as good as gold and very easy going which is why I thought the 3rd would be the same lol, but he has a good pair of lungs on him ;-) However he isn't colicky, just gets some trapped wind and when he wants me, he wants me right now and there is no waiting bless him.

Have decided against pgd overseas, its too much of a gamble and we need the money for doing the house up for our family home and for the boys future so decision finally made. Makes me sad to think and say chances are no daughter for me, we will have a 4th but not until DS3 is at least 3 years old as I want to enjoy our last and that means needing time when they are all at school or pre-school to manage the house.

Anyway Im rambling, hope your all well xx

Hi chocolate! Congratulations on your little boy! I think my longing for a girl has toned down 90% in the last six months! In line with my hormones I guess. I still toy with the idea of a fourth, but I need another house really. Was having a chat with a friend who was saying she is over babies, wants a brand new car, holidays in Florida etc but I would still trade material things for a dd.

Deaks congratulations on your post count! I am sure Iif I went to the USA for OCD no one would suspect. But our parents aren't very active parts of our lives. If it was me I would go alone and put dhs sample on ice. Then say I'm working away or on a course. No one would butt a eyelid

Chocolate congratulations on your baby boy!!

Deaks - congrats on 1000 posts I had a really good post count on PL but i'm seriously lacking here lol i'll better start posting more :P I really hope and pray that you get succesful on your first attempt! how many attempts are you prepared to do?

kell - good luck with your midwifery course, very exciting! you are supermum!

threelittlemen - it's always nice to have you pop by! i'm not on here an awful lot either these days. I'm so busy with all these kids and trying to have a somewhat tidy house that i don't find the time

maybebaby - a reborn doll sounds like a good idea i'm sure your broodiness will continue to fade with time i'm sure not as broody as i was 7 months ago lol it doesn't help that my dd is the worst sleeper in the entire of universe so i'm constantly walking around like a zombie haha if i have another one it won't be until dd is well over 2!

hello to everyone else!
4 more weeks until ds2's birthday! i feel very emotional, i just can't understand how he got so big so fast? 3 years seems like virtually nothing when you have kids!

[Kell]

Aww sunset my ds2 was three a few weeks back the time really does fly huh! What are you getting him?

Maybe I always remember the reality of starting work again was much less scary than I thought! I hope the same goes for you, of course it goes without saying that we miss out babies, but it does give time to be you and not just mummy.

Chocolate congratulations Hun

Deaks thanks I can't wait to start the course I've got a while to enjoy Lily first though! Just need to sort out some voluntary work before I go! Woohoo well done on 1000posts

[Inglewood]

Maybe, I WISH dh would go for the snip, but he won't go!! working on him...

Kell, glad lily is better. I'v considered midwifery, wouldn't take me more than 18mths-2yrs, but not while girls are small, maybe later on. All the best, my nursing degree was hard work!

Must dash.... 2 screamers here..... finish later...x

[Kell]

Thanks inglewood I have toyed with the idea of waiting but I only have 5 years to use my course qualification and I just know the entry requirements will continue to go up :S I could apply and defer if it came to it which gives me an extra year.
I'm quite use to hard work in the education stakes, when I had tommy I did a hnd in business and accounting, access course when Charlie was born and now a degree while Lily's little lol

[Petal]

Maybe, laughing at your typing error OCD!!!! LOL.

Congrats chocolate on your little boy :-))
Sunset, aww bless u, how many times does she wake up at night then? hope things gets better soon!
Kell, wow!!! i dont think i could manage a degree at the mo, well done to you :-) id sooo love to be a midwife, the most rewarding job ever i imagine :-)
Deaks... come on little baby!!! hurry up! lol
