does your little boy go to school?? Hows the pregnancy going? when are you due?
No he's not at school yet but he starts in september he'll only be four and a bit which i think is too young!! I don't think kids should start school until they are five as they are in it till they are 16 so that's long enough but then again with the nursery fees going up and up maybe it's not such a bad thing lol!!
It's going okay ( i think) i have an appointment at the hospital on friday -- due in september ... But the last few days have felt a bit ill so i hope it goes soon!! where did you have ur daughters?? I had my son in king george and it was not a good experience at all and swore i would never go back there again but i don't think i have any other option as Portland is way too expensive and the idea of giving birth at home does not appeal to me atall-- but hopefully things have changed since i last was there-- even though there is a real shortage of midwifes all over!!
I suppose ur daughters will go to the same school that will be nice as the elder can keep an eye on her and they can play 2gether as there's only 2 years difference!!-- unfortunatly by the time my youngest is ready to go the eldest will be ready to leave!!
My eldest started reception sept 07 and she is not five til march this year. My youngest is starting at the school nursery this sept everyday mornings only. she will be 3 in march. My eldest is doing really well at school she is really enjoying it. Yes both my girls will be in the same school when the youngest is in reception the eldest will be in year one. which will be nice as you said she can look after the little one.
Glad your pg is going well. I had sickness all the way through with both my girls. I had them in harold wood maternity but if i have another would like a home birth. Kings Georges is supposed to be better than QUEENS!!!!! Portland def. to expensive why do you not fancy a home birth then ????
ooh mexico must have been really nice was the weather nice when you went??
I've just got to get used to him going to big school i suppose i still think its a bit young though 4 1/2 to start at 5 would be better i think!!
At first i felt fine with this pregnancy but now the sickness has come with a vengence its really bad!! home birth would be too odd like for 1 we live in a flat and the walls are really thin so besides the fact that everyone could hear me i would be too scared that something would go wrong!! a friend of m ine is overdue at the moment and king george sent her to queens as apparently there are so few midwifes there and hardly no one is there most are being sent to queens.. so that has scared me a bit i think i'll ask to be transfered to queens now!! I'm actually thinking of leaving work because i left my other job just b4 x-mas and now i don't qualify for maternity leave as i have only been in my current job for a month but it is getting too much if i had stayed in my other job i would have been entitled to mat leave and also days off due to sickness but new job very stressfull and have not got rights as i have not been there very long atall!!!
