oh shoot I keep meaning to pass on Kaylae's message

She says she wont be coming onto moomie for a few weeks and she wishes us all well and to enjoy our babies

she is seeing a psychologist in 6 weeks and should get some test results back
she says baby looked like a term baby and not prem (so the weight of 2.9kg must have been correct)
if that is the case - it really sounds like there was underlying diabetes that wasnt diagnosed - which definitely could have been a cause of her baby's death

Lucy - I am totally aware about SSRI etc as I did psychiatric nursing! And therefore, I know I should be patient, tread lightly etc etc etc. But it's just becoming too much now! (bad nurse I know!!!)

I also suggested to him to rather see a doctor as it may be better to rather change prescriptions than double his dose. He agrees. but now it's a challenge to get him to the doctor!
He is on the lowest dose at the moment for his medication.
I know it affects performance etc. I think the main thing is that I think back 3 years and we had sex all the time! Now I hate the fact that he's so high up in his job (even though it means more money) as it means more stress, more fatigue and less time for me. I do feel quite selfish at times because I have made this ALL ABOUT ME. I really do try to think of him, how he's feeling, how it might hurt him emotionally that I'm always saying he doesnt perform etc. And I really do try not to put him down. But sometimes it just is too much and I do have to be selfish!

when are you getting your maternity pics?? I have to wait 7-10 days for the online gallery

Meags - Apart from being depressed/ anxious the medication WILL have a HUGE impact on his libido (is it an SSRI he is on?) not only that it will probably cause "performance" issues. I think perhaps you should tread lightly here as he is probably having some issues and by pressurising him could make it a bit more long lasting or into an emotional problem as well as a stress one. Not sure if you understand what I am saying. This is the field I work in and there are some meds that are better than others and if he wants to double doses (depending what he is on) it may be time to re-evaluate his prescription and try something else. Loads and loads of options for him!!
I am so happy that you got that special look!! My DH was like a little giggling kid, he hates having his photo taken.

Karin - You look amazing and you have such a good looking family!! You have made me real impatient to see mine now.

Misty - I have my nappies and I got a second hand angelcare for R500. Was the first thing I bought when fell preggy!! Good luck with selling though! Try gumtree as well!

Wow Karin - love the pics! You look amazine and that white skirt thing is just too gorgeous!

Schatsie - nope no pics from Kimika as yet.

MistyMom - pity about the angel care - we bought one when Callum came home and paid R1900 for it!

Enjoy your even ladies!
