The lovely wife has just told me she tested positive in a pregnancy test...then ran off with her sister to the Pink concert.

We were trying for our second, so its all good.

Thing is, I feel very apathetic about the whole thing. Is this wrong?

Anyone else been through this?

I only post here when the other site gets quiet...

 

How do you know its yours?

How does she know it's hers?

 

I don't know, maybe it's not the same with the second child. (You know what you are in for!)

Of course you love them just the same and as much as the first child, but having children is not the "fairytale" as some people make it out to be, it is hard work!

Because it is too easy. Not even dgstones was as gullible as you.

 

I'm guessing that you're nowhere near 3 months yet if you've only just found out? If that's the case, what the heck are you telling us for?

FWIW, I thought Jack's answer was hilarious tongue.gif

 

No..3 hrs!

1st time very excited when the test came back...this time ... nothing

Forget the smart arses Mr Dennis (although you are often one yourself smile.gif )

Congratulations!! Yes, I went through that with #2 as well. I found it was still exciting, just not as the 1st. You don't worry about going to every appointment with the wife, and half know what to expect. When it finally arrives, its like learning everything again. Going from a 2 year old, to a newborn is a shock, but you pick it up pretty quick.

Good Luck

 

Congrats, I'm sure the excitement will come.

I would be annoyed if my wife went to see Pink without me however

 

Congrats MrD.

Looks like you are adding another to the great gene pooll at southern.

Propogate and proliferate!

I know how you feel mate - the missus is 20 weeks along with our second. I remember being elated at the news the first time (our son's 16 months old now), but this time all I could think was how hard it was going to be financially and emotionally to have two kids to care for (I'm just getting over the shock of the first kid, and this one wasn't exactly planned - though we'd decided to have another one down the line anyways - just the timing we didn't expect). I felt guilty at being so selfish and having all these negative thoughts, but I've since come to realise that it's just the fact that I'm a massive pessimist, and all I can think about is all the things that can go wrong.

In any case, as the date draws nearer, I find myself more and more excited to meet the new bubs and less and less dreading all the negative stuff that comes with it. So don't worry about how you feel now, your mind is probably just in 'practical' mode trying to reconcile all the possible ramifications of what's happening.

Simple things, simple minds

I'm with Jack on this one. I can only assume that you feel nothing because you and you're wife havn't had "relations" for many moons, hence you know deep down that the gig is up for you.

When you say the "we" we're trying for a second, I would suggest it was more "her"

Me, I was over the moon when my wife announced we were with child again, as I was safe in the knowledge that it was mine.

On the up side tho, once you prove it isn't yours you don't need to pay for it.

 

My take on this is that your elation with the first announcement is probably moreso relief. Relief that your little mates are swimming as they should, and that years spent masturbating and on the internet (and both) haven't lowered your overall effectiveness.

Second time around? Old news. I'd imagine it's much like watching an old Grand Final - the excitement is there, but you know what the result is and therefore it's difficult to get too excited about.

It also means the end of trying, which means the end of sex.
