You don't see any difference with a second or third I'm just mum at the moment but I like it that way, I'm needed and loved unconditionally without question, everyday I feel like iv achieved something, bringing up babies to children to teenagers for them to turn into lovely adults who will one day I hope bring up their children (once married and have a huge house and job!) And then I'll be a retired midwife looking after my grandchildren! (I hope lol)

Luna...I had this amazingly strong feeling just now that you will not be a one child family for very long. Thought I'd share.

I miss my independence too much... I don't think we'll have any more... I really terribly miss being able to do my arts and crafts stuff on a whim I can't wait until Rhyko is old enough to start building with blocks and drawing and whatever else so he can be occupied for a few minutes and I can do something fun for myself again.

I understand completely how you feel. It has taken me a long time to adjust to the fact that I do the things that I can, not necessarily the things I'd like or want to do. My friends tell me they were exactly the same with their first babies...that's where the biggest adjustment happens. Apparently with subsequent children it's not quite such a shock to the system and logically that makes sense.

I still don't think you're done

Heheh, we shall seeeeee! Only time will tell, I suppose!

Kit, you need to make a video of yourself talking... all this strange Scottish speak written out and I have no idea what you're saying!!! But I'm dying to hear it!!!

You've given me a really fun idea.........

Yay!!!

When you have more than one they occupy each other so in the long run it gives you more free time. With one child they depend on you to play with them all the time. My new friends that have twins tell me that they have time for themselves bc the kids just play with each other, even when they are a few months old they just stare at each other and roll around together lol.

Yes, I do hear this quite often... I just don't think I'm cut out to be a mother of more than one. I'm way too selfish, I think.
Plus, I have no way of knowing that I won't deliver another preemie - and that was just way too hard on me. I wanted to off myself on a daily basis

Yeah, I know how badly you suffered under the circumstances of Rhyko's arrival. You are cut out to be a mother though...check out your utter devotion to your little boy in spite of everything. Many mothers would have gone under while you remained determined, strong and SELFLESS!

Thanks, Kit... You're always inflating my ego!!

When they're 2 they're great fun, sometimes they want to help toooo much but they're also very gullible so if I want to distract Holly I can give her something like a load of buttons in a jar and ask her to help mummy by putting them all one by one into another jar and she does Doesn't Rhyko like just watching you do stuff at all? If you put him up on the table in his rocker chair while you're sewing for example so he can watch and enjoy the chugging noise? Holly used to like all the goings on. It's coz he's a boy maybe

And I agree with Addie- defo 2 is easier than 1 in the long run- when the boys were small the zillions of times DH and I said to one another "thankgod they have each other to play with"- it gave us lots of adult time. And it's one of the reasons dh accepted sperminating his 4th kid, to make life easier with Holly!

You're such a wonderful person, April If even an extra 1% of the world's population was as lovely as you, the world would be such a better place.
I can't wait for you to start your midwifery training! You're going to be such a fantastic midwife!!

I'm hoping Holly will live in a lovely villa with a swimming pool in Italy and Henry will live on a lovely farm in Cornwall (or vice versa) so I have my holidays sorted when I'm an old granny

I haven't tried with sewing... but i have tried with knitting. I haven't gotten any sewing projects since his birth - but I need to sew up some more cloth wipes for him, so maybe I can try that later today. We recently got him a cute little seat he can sit in and I made dinner yesterday with him sitting in and talked him through everything He found it entertaining for a little bit!

I'm really short sighted when it comes to imagining what Cara will be when she's all grown up. I actually have no idea what I'd wish for but if she's happy, it won't matter anyway.

 

[Sarachka]

April what's involved with midwife training? When do you start? May 6th?!
