    Thankyou so much ladies xx you are all so gorgeous xx

    I am seeing my midwife (yes Melissa, MadB) on Tuesday so i will be having a big ol' chat with her. I started writing a list today of all the things I need to buy/get ready and already feel a little better.
    I think you're right Tegam, I really did not expect this baby to make it. I guess part of me still doesn't I have been protecting myself by distancing myself. Even my 11 year old daughter has noticed and commented on it!
    I have started talking to the baby and really trying to connect with him. The poor child.. I feel so bad, like I've neglected him already I'm really going to be focusing on him these next 6 or so weeks (and beyond, of course!).
    Thanks for all the advice.. I really, really appreciate it xx

    Oh Stoked, dont push yourself. i was getting so stressed about it in the end of Mollys pregnancy that i just had to say to myself that the pregnancy and the baby are different. I wanted the baby more than anything and i would welcome it whole heartedly! But the pregnancy was a stressful event that yes was completely different to my first.

    As my mother says what the younger children lack in one area they gain in others! eg. we dont sit there ever week and know exactly whats growing but like molly she has 3 big sister/brother that adore her every move!

    It is was it is! You are a lovely mum and the minute that baby is warm and ooshy on your chest the love will flow... i promise!
