Parenting after Miscarriage or Loss ~ April/May

Hugs for all the mummies battling sickness ATM, sounds like there's a few of us with sick kids :(

:grouphug:

Janie I'm pleased that your results came back all clear but sometimes it can knock us for six when that happens..Kinda hoping for some answers but not getting them kwim?
How are your boys doing? I read somewhere that N was very sick and now I've just seen that you're having a tough time with D being unwell too..Big :hug: for you all and hopefully everyone is feeling better soon.

Michelle I hope Lily is feeling better today after yesterdays little episode :hug:

Willow How is D going? Did you manage a better nights sleep last night? I was thinking about you guys when I was unpleasantly woken at 3am by the dog cos he needed to do a wee lol. It was soooooo cold here and I thought about you and hoped D was as snug as a bug and sleeping :hug:

As for us..Sage and I are still sick and to top it off af arrived today too so I'm off to the chemist tomorrow to get my clomid script filled a few days in advance so I have it to start. I'm kinda pleased she's arrived cos I've been in a foul mood for days and poor Sage and DH have been coping it :(
We're having a fairly quiet long weekend at home. Is anyone doing anything exciting?

:grouphug: for everyone

:hug: Mako, good luck with the clomid darl xoxo

Hi Ladies,
Just letting you know I'm back online, I'm drained, I'm ill & I'm not eating but I'm just spending stacks of time with the girls. Jessica has been off school with gastro, so it's just one thing after another.
Love Jayne

Oh Jayney, if it doesn't rain it pours :hug: I'm so sorry you're so ill, hang in there darl xoxo (Can you try to manage to eat something, for me? Even some chocolate??? ;))

Big hugs to everyone with sick little kiddies. Not nice at all.

Jayne - Glad you're back online and hope you're doing ok. Please, please, please try to eat something... anything... you need to stay strong... the last thing you need right now is to be run down and get sick. Hope Jess is ok.

Mako - Good luck with the Clomid.. I'm praying is the 'magic' formula for you. You absolutely deserve some good news very soon. Thinking of you all the time.

Janie - What a day hey?? Hope you have a better night tonight.. poor little D. Would of been great to see you today but looking forward to catching up next week. Luke had a big cry this afternoon because he didn't get to play with N today.. it was sooooo cute.. he kept saying "but I really want to play with N" then a bit later when he'd calmed down.. he came over to me and said "N couldn't come over today because his baby brother is sick"... precious!!

Bun - Hoping we can catch up next week!!

Hope everyone else is well... gotta go.. just heated up some Apple and Custard pies... with ice cream of course.. so must eat before the ice cream melts... yum. But very quickly... I thought we needed some good news in here so I'm very happy to say that I'm feeling kicks!!!!!! It's so exciting and it's all just hit me that I'm actually pg.. this IS happening and I couldn't be happier. Makes all of Luke's tantrums and bad behaviour today totally go away. I'm in heaven and I just love it. I'm actually feeling like I can start to bond with this little bundle that I'm growing and can finally accept that it's happening!!!!! Just the most wonderful feeling in the world.

Love to you all.

Nighty night, hope the sleep and health fairies pay you all a visit this evening

Lis xx

I ate some pretzels last night girls - so stop stressing! LOL
I'm trying to summon up the courage to cook my usual Saturday Morning Bacon & Eggs but can't muster up the motivation.
Love JS

Hi beautifuls........... how is everyone going?

Jayne - I read your other thread, so sorry babe at what you are faced with and dealing with...... you sound like you have your head completely screwed on, look after yourself sweety xoxo

Michelle - how are you doing hon, hope you didn't succumb to illness, and you are 'hanging' in there - you are still very much on my mind hon, keep posting how you are feeling hon xoxo

Kelly - a big hooray on your bub kicking, it's the best feeling those first kicks!!

Mako - hugs babe, what's happening with you?

Spring - no more dramas for you please, thats an order! love your fb pics!

Hi Bun, Janie, Lisa, Laney, Willow, Bek, and Deb - hugs and love you to !!

Moi - urgh........... just got back from Burnie, DH and I had to see a head quack re. Luc's case, basically have to prove we are totally crazy to seek compensation for the comedy of ****-ups....... actually wasn't hard to prove I'm crazy, but after over 2 hours of talking I was completely drained. Came home the slow way today, which was nice, Tassie is so beautiful it's good for the soul......

Not much else to report - just going from day to day right now - and contemplating starting at Weight Watchers on Thursday, but worried about the kgs of chocolate I got today and have stashed, I'm SO bad!!!

Hugs all round,

Lee xo

Lee - glad you had a lovely trip through Tassie, even though it sounds like you have had a rough time. It seems ridiculous that you have to go through so much to get compensation for having already been through so much! It must be difficult to have to keep bringing it up all the time. I hope the case gets finalised soon hun. And yes, Tassie is a beautiful place. I have been to Burnie (have family there) and I loved it. Definitely plan to get back there one day.

Michelle - how are you feeling today hun? I hope you can get some help with the kids if you are feeling sick. I hope you got some sleep last night :hug:

kelly - yay on those kicks!! I love the early kicks (before they become huge karate kicks on your bladder!)

Jayne - did you manage your Sat morning brekkie? I think you are handling this so well, I am really impressed. How much longer til Alan is home?

Janie - does your Dr have any other tests in mind to look at possible causes? Sometimes it can be nice to have answers hey.

Lisa - is there any chance we may be able to meet up on Fri? I will be in Melb and hopefully meeting with Janie and Kelly. I think we will be staying in the city this time, so (I am assuming?) maybe closer to you?

mako - good luck with the clomid hun, it is about time some good things came your way I think!

Spring - how is DH going?

Hi to everyone else, hope you are all having a good weekend :)

BUN _ Alan his home on 23 June. Only 10 more days to go. Today I'm back in denial stage. I flutter between, anger, despair, heartbroken-ness & denial. Today is denial. I didn't manage breakfast, nor have I today, :redface: but I did get summoned to my besties place last night where her mum had cooked me my favourite chicken fricassee (sp?), dish. I managed to eat a little bit, plus some dip & crackers that I had made. So I have eaten something. I haven't managed anything today, but I have lunch at a school friends place, so I'm sure I'll be fine today. How is Joshua now? Has he settled down? How is the dummy wars?

LEE _ I'm loving how 'calm' you are seeming these days. It sounds to me as though you have faced many demons and you are on your road to recovery - do you feel like that as well?

Big hello's & happy sunday vibes to everybody.

Jayne x

Jayne, are you okay? I just saw your fb status.

I saw it too :hug:

HI Ladies,
I'm just shocked is all. A beautiful baby girl was born prem at 33 weeks, she was throwing bile after Mel had tried to feed her. The midwife thought she had a minor blockage in her intestine & booked her for a small op to clear it. Found out that the intestine was not even attached to the stomach & that she had 2 holes in her heart. She never recovered from the intestinal surgery & they tried to operate on her heart, but in the end, it wasn't to be. Now questions are raised as to why none of this was picked up on her scans.
Whilst I don't know Mel as well as I know her 2 sisters, I still know her & love to have a good chat when we bump into each other. (I work with both her sisters) & it's just an enormous tragedy.
Love Jayne

Jayne that is really really awful and sad :( I feel so much for that poor family. I'm sure you'll be a wonderful support to her sisters :hug:

How terrible. That is all very similar to what happened to my beautiful friend Mel's baby boy Joshua. Such a tradgedy :cry:

My BIL / SIL had a transoesophageal fistula with their son but without the heart complications. I am so sorry Jayne that your friends are going through this :hug:

As for me - blah!!!

Vented elsewhere because while I know you all love me I don't want to dump in here and have you feel like it is directed at any of you, because it isn't :grouphug:

Jayney - I'm so very sorry to hear about your friends tiny angel :(

Michelle - :comfort:
