Omar is here... (Michelle71)

So happy for you, Michelle.
Will be thinking of you and your family, take care of each other x

wow I was crying from that announcement Inanna. What a special welcome for your little man Michelle. I hope he brings as much solace as he brings joy. Enjoy your family time

Just having this pop up tonight is special.

It has been 16 long weeks since Greg died and our little man is nearly 4 weeks old. A week in NICU with a dubious beginning is starting to look more promising but the damaged soul that remains within me is reluctant to declare all will be well a this stage. For today, George is feeding well, growing and looking just beautiful.

Deb, as always, has made the announcement of each of my earthside babies the most beautiful and special of messages. She, and so many others here, have been my support and lifeline throughout the ups and downs of TTC, pregnancy and its complications, breastfeeding, parenting and the aftermath of losing my very special man. Without this support my darkness would be so much more difficult to manage.

Thank you for the love, light, prayers and blessings that have been sent our way. Every positive thought and message through the ether means so much and is felt at moments like this one when I am alone with my three earth babies and missing my Greg ever so much :(

Michelle - you are such an inspiration. You amaze me. I am so, SO sorry for your losses. I can't begin to imgaine what you've been through, are going through and are yet to go through. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel and you will find happiness again. It seems so cruel that the universe would put you through this but it does so for reasons that we can only understand at another time in our lives. It will never be fair but what has happened will somehow make your future experiences that much more easier and or special, if that makes sense.

I'm sure your new little man will be blessed with some special traits from his daddy.

You are an amazing woman. I have so much admiration for you.

OMG I wasn't expecting this birth announcement and I can't believe I missed it!!! Huge congratulations Michelle and welcome to the world little George Gregory :p I'm sure Greg and Caitlyn are proud as punch looking down on their beautiful family, and Oscar and Lily are so excited to have a wee brother too.

Deb, your BA made me tear up, beautifully written hun :p

This is one i missed too - Michelle71, like others have said, i have followed your story and have huge respect for your courage through all you have faced. Belated congratulations on the arrival of your little man, I'm glad to hear he is feeding and sleeping well. I truly hope that all will be well as at least some balm to your soul.

It's hard to find the words to express what's in my heart when I read your update. I wish.. I wish you didn't have to go through this, I wish you had Greg there for you. I wish that he and Caitlin didn't have to look down from above, but I agree with beata70, I'm sure they are looking down on you proud as proud can be with hearts so full of love. I am so glad to hear you're there with your earthside babies, to cuddle and love them. And so I'll send a big smile and an e-hug :hug: through the ether.
