The other evening my OH was singing the words of a song, being:

'Every day I love you less and less'

As a joke, I pretended to be hurt and said 'oh thanks.  To which he replied....

I love you so much that even if I did love you less and less each day I'd still love you in a million years time.

Puke!!!!!  Come on, lets hear yours.......

Awww thats really nice Keeley! My OH can just about manage "Have you had a good day Darling?" and then before I have chance to answer he goes on to say "I have had a good/bad/s*it/funny/lazy day, this that and the other happened...." before he spends 'his hour' with our son :D He normally get's home around 6 o'clock and until we sit down to our dinner about 8.30-ish we have hardly spoken to each other!

He just said it so badly it sounded like a really crap chat up line!!  I'm sure our situation will change when we have children too - I've heard you never get time for each other then!!

No like I said, OH comes in from work, he spends an hour with Thomas either in his room or in the garden, I do Thomas' tea whilst they are playing, then Thomas has his tea, has a bath, has a story, whilst OH is cooking our tea, by the time we have finished that we are so tired we go to bed!

The weekends are just manic - even when we have nothing planned on Friday evenings, you can guarentee something will happen and the weekend is gone before it starts!

OH and I haven't been out, just the two of us, since our anniversary in December!!!! We have been to more kids parties than pubs in the last year!!!

There isn't a lot of time for each other, but when we do get it, it is worth it :D

Sounds like your OH is very attentive and helpful with your boy - lucky you!

Yeah I suppose he is :D He spends a lot more time with Thomas than my dad ever did with me, mind you I have 4 sisters so that might have got in the way a bit!!!

I have four sisters too!!! And one brother :( ;)

Wow, big family! My hubbie is one of 5 (3 boys, 2 girls) it isn't a coincidence that we decided before we had our son that we were only going to have 1 or 2 kids MAXIMUM!!! I must admit I would love a little girl, but I think we have both decided that dog's are better ;) Besides it is bad enough stepping on little cars, bricks, trains, traintracks, marbles, etc. with out adding to the mess that is: The Playroom (with my dining table stuck in the middle of it all! :rolleyes: ) And then there is mess no.2 which is: Thomas' Bedroom, and of course closely followed by: The Garden, now it is nice weather!!!

I keep saying I am not going to buy him any more toys, but then OH will come home with something else for him! They say blame the parents don't they!!! :D LOL

I'm completely the other way, I want loads of babies (of course, I'm saying this with 0 babies at the minute, lets wait and see hey?!), and I'm desperate for little girls.  Whenever my hubbie and I talk about children we always call them 'she'  Apparently hubbie was told he's having three children by a spiritualist, girl, boy, girl - sounds good to me!  We've even got four names picked out already - two girls and two boys!!

I could tell you countless horror stories of having kids (and I've only got the one!) but first of all you wouldn't believe me, and secondly I could tell you 1000000000 times as many good stories!!!

Well worth all the pain, hassle, work, tears, disagreements, bloodshed, stress, sleepless nights, sick everywhere (and don't get me started on toilet training!!) bit's of mashed up baby food in your hair, clothes, carpets, under your finger nails, up the walls, I even found some on the ceiling (which are 12ft high!) last time we decorated!! But apart from all of that, they are little angel's, they just like to play at being little devil's from time to time! :D On a serious note, we wouldn't be with out him for all of the world and his dog, and if we could go back to before we had him, we would do it all again :D

Aw that's lovely!  I've been 'babysitting' my neices baby (neice is 20, baby is 9 weeks old - I'm only 29 - a very YOUNG great aunty!), and I've just loved watching my hubbie with her - he's been totally bowled over by her, and it was lovely to watch as he's never been 'into' babies before!  She's been so well behaved too - I just can't wait to have mine!!  It's my first month of trying, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I know what you mean, I had never seen my hubbie with a baby until our's was born, and they just sort of melted together!! Now of course I have to be the one to peel them apart. There is hubbie in the garden with his trouser legs rolled up, his (and it is his!!) cowboy hat, that of course matches Thomas' and they are running around the garden together, like a pair of hooligans!!

Good luck with trying, it can be very up and down emotionally when you are trying, you convince yourself each month that this is it, it is going to happen this month and it doesn't. It took us 6 months, but I have known others that have done it first time, and some that have been trying for over a year, they just start sorting out getting tested, and then it happens. For me (at least) even though we had planned for it, and had waited 6 months to find out, when I did the test and it was positive, it was a real shock, I was obviously over the moon, but it just dawns on you all of a sudden!

Yes I have a feeling I will be in shock when it's positive too!  I've just come off the p*** and I think I've managed to convince myself that I'll fall straight away, as apparently the first month off of the p*** is your most fertile, so I know I'll be disappointed if it doesn't happen, even more so as they THEN say that after that initial month it can be at least 6 months before the p*** is out of your system.  Bummer!!  Were you on the p***?

No I had the dreaded injection! I am on the pill now though - will never go back to the jab

I have also heard the first month off the pill is the most fertile, but I *think* it increases the chance of something else going wrong. I am not sure though.

It might be worth your while going to your GP and telling them that you are planning, they will have loads of ideas and tips to boost your fetility. :D

Some GP's say it's best to give a few months or so before trying, but then I know plenty of people who got caught straight away and everything was fine.  I spoke to a friend who's had a couple of babies and she said she didn't think there was any point in visiting the GP before you started trying, as they don't do anything!!  I'm hardly likely to give it a month or so before starting to try when I've been waiting the last 5 years to get cracking!!!  But then I guess it'll be my own fault if something goes wrong :(

I was on the injection for a good couple of years and never had any problems at all with it - yet, quite a few people have said it gave them problems.  I never had one single per**d, ooh, except for after having surgery, then I had a very short one, but otherwise to that I thought it was fab!  I only came off it as I wanted my per**ds back ready for when we started trying for children, and that was about 18 months ago.

Well the GP can't actually do anything to help, but s/he will tell you the right vit's etc. to take, and advise the healthy eating, cut out the wine, and ciggarettes and all of the other things.

It is never any body's fault when things go wrong, everything happens for a reason. My sister had 3 late miscarages, one of which the baby was old enough to be burried properly with a service, and she kept trying and trying, now she has a little boy who is healthy. She had said before that she blamed herself for over doing it at work and that is why the other pregnancies went wrong, and we had a bit of a girly chat, the out come was that if even one of the pregnancies would have resulted in a healthy baby, she wouldn't have had her son, she might have had a girl, he might have had blond hair after his dad instead of her brown hair, and she did come to the conclusion that she lost the other babies, so she could have her son, and obviously she wouldn't change him for the world. She is now pregnant again, and everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting for the phone to ring :( but so far so good :D

I didn't have periods whilst I was on the jab, my body saved it all up for when the jab finally wore off I think!! Along with the mood swings, spots, weight gain, sleepless nights because of hot flushes, greasy hair by lunch time, and the bo*b soreness I had had enough!

Isn't it strange how it effects people differently. 

I guess what I meant earlier about it being 'my fault' is that I know I should really wait those few months, but I just feel like I don't want to 'waste' them!  I'm so desperate for a baby, and I'd have started trying a year ago if the hubby was game!  It's nice trying now though knowing that he wants it as much as I do.

When your baby is 2 years old and she is driving you mad, you will be glad you had time for you and OH before she came along. I have said a few times, I wouldn't change Thomas for the world but I wish we would have had him a few years later, so OH and I had some time for each other before he came along.

All good things come to those that wait :D

Hopefully- fingers crossed :D

Good luck - and let us know how you go, although you won't need asking as soon as you find out you will NEED to tell someone, anyone!!! The first person I told was a poor girl that knocked on the front door trying to get us to go back to British Gas!!! We had decided that we weren't going to tell anyone till we crossed the 3 months mark, but I had to tell someone! LOL

LOL!  I feel the same way.  I desperately want to keep it a secret from family until I know everything is ok (particularly one sister who has 'teased' me that I'll NEVER keep it a secret for more than a day!), but I'll have to tell someone, a close friend maybe, and possibly even people on here!  I think sympathy (should anything go wrong) is better coming from people you don't know that well, I couldn't handle it from my family.

You, and the baby will be fine! Stop worrying, stress isn't good, enjoy the practice period ;) and enjoy being pregnant, it is the best feeling in the world :D

Thanx!  I sure will :D

er......anyway....going back to Keeley's original post, OH wrote in a card once "I love you more today than I did yesterday, but not as much as I will love you tomorrow"

Ahhhh - love him....... :D

Somebody at work told me I looked like a film star today.  I was a tiny bit flattered until I coincidentally found out he had said the very same thing to my colleague!!! Yuk!

Yes, I was told that once, then told the film star was "Lassie" - charming.....

I've had some strange lines in my time with the worst being - there's a party in my pants and you're the only one invited.  Funnily enough thats one party invitation I turned down

One of the worst I ever heard was "how do you like your eggs in the morning - boiled, poached or fertilised"

Eeewwww :(

I think the worst one I've ever heard was 'My name might not be Fred Flintstone but I can still make your Bedrock' I kindly declined the offer :D

A really slimey guy who had been bugging me all evening asked me if I wanted to go back to his for a drink I quickly replied 'What you mean there is room under your stone for more than one' My friend nearly choked on her drink :D :D

My little boy told me he loves me "All the way to the Alpha Quadrant and back"  and "To the end of Time and Back again"  :D :D

I doubt anyone could top that :D  He's going to be heartbreaker when he's grown :D :D

Filling up here :D

(He sure didn't get it from his dad!! )

If I said you had a great body would you hold it against me :D Had that line many times not just from hubby....

One hubby likes to say to me is he loves how my legs go up and make *sses out themselves :D lol

He always tells me that he loves me more then yesterday and I can't remember the rest lol

The one line he used and told my family, he said that he chased me until I finally caught him, ya ok :) Yup he's the one that kept chasing me and asking me out, I was happy at the moment being single, but am glad I said yes :)
