1- My favourite band is The Beatles. I can thank exDP for that, lol. Despite loving them lots....I rarely listen to any music...or if I do its kids music
2- I must be the most boring member of my family.... I have never taken drugs and I never will... doesn't appeal to me...
3- I don't drink. I used to drink and drink and drink when I was a teenager....once I drank 3 times in one week
....the next week I had glandular fever. Smack bang in the middle of year 12....sort of hasn't had the same appeal since then. I have tried,lol, a few times....but I just don't 'get it' anymore, so now I don't bother.4- When we were 16, my exDP and I got engaged....our parents were mortified
Obviously we didn't last, but I hold no regrets... I just hate it when people make a big deal out of it...5- I moved out of home when I was 17. My parents split when I was 15, I lived with my mum and stepdad for a few years and then things went pair shaped. They say it was me....I say it was him....How on earth can they blame a child???
I was lucky enough to find some help (because I was suicidal and apparently it was just 'emotional blackmail' to my mum 
) and was able to move into temporary housing.6- I am scared of dogs
....not as badly as I used to be... But they still make me nervous and I get butterflies in my tummy. Apparently I was jumped on and knocked over by a dog when I was 2 and have been pretty much terrified since. I remember when I was a kid I used to scream and cry if a dog was anywhere near me.7- I relactated when Indy was about 9wks old
I made some poor decisions, but wasn't really in the headspace to see clearly, nor did I have much support, which led to me quitting bfing Indy when he was just 2 wks old. I soon regretted it and decided to relactate. For the most part he only bf once a day and generally in the middle of the night when there was the least distractions. But I did do some things I never thought I would do....like actually enjoy bfing!! And bf in public. Unfortunately it didn't last as long as I had hoped....Indy started sleeping thru the night and wouldn't bf during the day, but I think we got at least a few months in there. (And now he doesn't sleep through anyway, lol)I am so glad I relactated....if anyone out there is considering it, go for it!! It is bloody hard work, but so so worth it! It was pretty much relactating alone that made me want more babies....I remember feeding Indy in the rocking chair smiling away at him thinking, omg, I actually LOVE this....I NEED to do this again
8- I am planning a HBAC
In one session with my psychologist we somehow got onto dream births and I happened to mention that I often dreamt about giving birth at home, but that I never thought it would happen...Having had a c/s I thought my only option was a repeat c/s because I won't labour in a hospital again after the trauma of Jet's birth. Kelli said to me, there's no reason you can't have your baby at home with just you and Jamie and the boys if that's what you want... A lightbulb went off in my head and I thought, holy crap! She's right!!Initially I began researching freebirth because I didn't think there were any Independent Midwives around here....lucky I did my research!! Thanks to some lovely and very helpful Victorian midwives I was given the details of not one but 2!!! IM in MY TOWN!! My little backward town has 2 IM!!!
Now I just have to get this LLETZ related crap out of the way so I can TTC#3!
Now to find some people to tag..... (and to remember to tell them lol!!!)
Phew....that was hard!!!
