Parenting after Miscarriage or Loss ~ April/May

Thank you for thinking of me, Jayne. Especially in the midst of everything you are dealing with (I read your thread but didn't have anything useful to add, but I am thinking of you!).

I'm at home today with a sick little boy who couldn't go to daycare and I have to pack for a weekend away - a womens retreat with church and I'm feeling kind of guilty about leaving Sam for the first time while he's sick, but he adores daddy so will probably not even notice I'm gone.

On the work front - I have resigned. As of the end of this term I will no longer be a teacher. At least not in that school anyway. I will be pursuing some stuff with the union - lodging a letter of complaint with the school and possibly pursuing a workers compemsation claim. The school has offered to pay me until the end of the term without even requiring me to show up, but I'm going to get medical certificates to cover my arse on that one! So I guess my return to life as a stay at home mother has begun. Really unsure as to how we'll cope financially and having major attacks of the guilts over this one move making it virtually impossible for Sam to have another sibling... when there are potential siblings sitting in a freezer at an IVF clinic it puts an interesting spin on things.

Anyway, my little munchkin has just absconded with my keys and he has a doctors appointment later today so I'd best go chase them.

Michelle, Deb, and everyone else - thinking of you also. :hug:

BW _ I am always thinking of the ladies in here, I know we are all having issues in some way or another but I just wanted you to know that you weren't far from my thoughts & I that I do really genuinely care & worry & want to know how you are. I'm sorry you have resigned & I'm sorry that Sam is sick, but I think this retreat away is going to be good for you. A time to let your hair down & relax a little & just get away from 'everything' that is going on. I wish I could join you!

Michelle, thinking of you lovely :hug: I can't believe you're almost 33 weeks, where did that time go???

Is Lee not posting because she's away? I'm guessing she's still in Adelaide?

Good morning to you all. I'm pleased to see that the sun is shining here this morning for the 1st time in just over 3 weeks. We've had pretty much non stop rain for that whole time. Anyway hopefully the sun will put us all in a better mood ;)

BW sorry that you've had to resign from work but its obviously the best option for you at this time :hug:

Michelle you're in my thoughts constantly hun. Are your parents still visiting or have they gone home? I know this week is going to be a particularly difficult one but please know that I'll be thinking of you and if I didn't have to be at work on Tuesday I'd pop down for another little visit :hug:

Willow how is everyone at your place?

Bek Where are you? I hope you are all ok.

I'm not doing so great yet again :( I'm so sick of my stupid body doing weird things. I poas this morning and of course it was a :BFN: and I really didn't expect it to be any different :( I'm just really hoping I get another bfp before my due date next month. I seem to be struggling more with my December angel more than my March angel and that is really upsetting me. Its like I haven't even really grieved for my March angel as much as I need to and I'm feeling really bad about that. I'm not too sure if that's normal or not but maybe once my edd for next month passes things might be different. I just don't know :(

Sorry to be a downer yet again.

I really hope everyone is ok.

Mako :hug: your feelings are pretty normal hun. I was a complete mess after my first angel, and I only came to terms with it after the EDD. I had lost another angel inbetween the first one and the first EDD and like you, I couldnt morn that loss properly because I was still a mess over the previous loss (which coincedentally was a Dec angel too). When the EDD came, I wrote a message to my little precious love on a balloon and sent it up to the sky. After that I felt better, lighter and felt I could move on and try to make another baby. SOmetimes we need to let go over our feelings of loss of life to be able create a new life. The time and healing will come on its own, just be kind to yourself and know that the universe will bring something special your way, I promise xx

Michelle - sweety thinking of you and hoping you have something special planned with O for his birthday :hug:

Jayne - thinking of you :hug:

Hope your all having a good Sunday.

DH and I went out for dinner last night, miss A had a sleep over at her grans and is still there, have to clean up and go and pick her up. It was good to go out and eat a whole meal without having a baby attached to the booby or one running to the toilet just as mummy takes her first bite. Having a house full of guests this arvo that are coming to meet Natalya.

A quick BF question - I have expressed but Natalya just wont take the bottle. I have tried two different types (tomee tipee and avent) and she just hates it and gags without taking a suck, so last night she didnt feed until I came back to mums to pick her up. Any tips on getting her to take the bottle - Id like to have this option so I can go out if I need to and not worry if she starving.

Hey Lisa - I had the exact same thing with Claudia. She just REFUSED to take a bottle, I tried everything but in the end she just didn't like it. When Jess was in hospital having her tonsils out I had expressed for her & I was literally down the road from home, so I left Alan with a bottle with a NUK teat on it & she did take that bottle overnight - but after that it was a failure again. I tried expressing when she was closer to 12 months & letting her hold the bottle - still no deal. In the end I just gave up. I only desperately needed her to take the bottle whilst Jess was in hossy, so it didn't really end up being a major issue. When she did go onto cows milk, I didn't even bother with a bottle I just bought her those Nuby spout thingy's & they worked ok. I'm sorry I'm no further help.

MAKO _ I'm so sorry you're not having the best time of it again. I really am. I wish there was some crystal ball I could look in for you & tell you that you will be holding a bundle of joy in whatever month & that all will be grand. How is DH? What does he think? Your OB didn't shed much light either did he? I guess first things first & you need to get your cycle back into full swing.

ME _ Well I'm having a bad day again today. Sick to my tummy, can't eat anything, can't even look at a glass of water to swallow my multi-vitamin. I literally feel as if at any moment I'll be running for the loo. Wouldn't it just be freaking bl00dy hilarious if the Dr says to me 'Congratulations, you're pregnant'. I am laughing hysterically at the very thought. hahahahah I'm back in the 'shocked' phase, last night I morphed to 'angry' & today I'm back to 'shocked'. I have started making notes & plans though. That's about all I can say in this thread....

SPRING _ I'm just bout to PM you.

Love Jayne

Jayne: Hun, it cuts babe and the waiting is the worst. I really hope thisis all just a terrible mix up.

Mako: :comfort: EDD's are bloody tough, I admire how you are going through such pain with such grace.

Lisa: I've never tried B man on a bottle, I give him EBM from a sippy cup. Worth a try if N isn't a fan of the bottle.

Well I'm in a fowl mood. I think I've broken my toe, DS is being a brat, dh has scratched his cornea and ended up in the Army hossy this morning. He has really bad photophobia and can't even open his eyes. So he's zonked out on painkillers and eye drops and he is going in for a major knee op on Wed which involves bone scraping and tendon cutting. Add to that our new neigbours decided to party on until 1.30am and you'll understand why I'm not so happy today. Screw Jenny Craig, I'm taking the boys to Pizza hut for tea. Whaaaa whaaaa whaaaa!!!!

ETA oh and I got both boys to sleep and just laid down myself and got a txt which woke me. Double whaaa whaaa whaaa

SPRING _ Oh my goodness, it's not raining it's freaking pouring at your place!! I hate those days, I really, really, really hope that tomorrow is much better. Just think to yourself 'today is a brand new day'. This is my mantra at the moment. I really hope you can doze a bit until the wee ones wake up & pizza hut is going to be great! You deserve a treat! xx

Hello my lovelies,

Just got back today from 10 days in Adelaide - sorry I've not been able to post, or catch up on everyone. Quick read of facebook and emails - and Michelle, so glad you love the teddies, I think they are so cute too, I hope your little ones love them.

Also, Michelle - wanted to say, having spent ten days with "two world's colliding" - i.e. staying with DH1's family, with DH2 and all the four kiddies - you know what - it was okay, it really was - this has been such a help to me with my grief journey for DH1 - it was kind of a 'full circle' type feeling - and I found comfort being in DH1's family home, haven't been for 5 years. So, we shall see where to from here.......... Michelle, this is me gently reminding you that in time thing will get better again for you, it's a LONG journey, and I'm sure you are doing a much 'better job' of it than I did, hang in there darling girl - not a day goes by I don't think of you of refer something in my mind to you. Holding your hand from afar as George continues to grow, I can imagine how hard things must be getting towards the end of your pregnancy; oh hon, if only things were different, but they are'nt - somehow everything will be okay, because it has to be xoxoxoxo

Hi ladies - so sorry I'm not up for personals - barely keeping my eyes open - got the Tiger red eye out of Adelaide back to Hobart and had to be up at 5am - just not my time of day, and trying to unpack, catch up with the toddler and babe is a challenge!!! But I promise I'll be back in more now - I think there will start being more good news in our group, can feel it in my water !

By the way - when are we all off to Tahita???

Lee xox

Lee - Glad to hear all went well in Adelaide.. you sound fantastic and I'm glad that you've overcome another 'milestone' of sorts. Hugs.

Jayne - Hun, I don't even know what else to say.. I'm sure the way you're feeling today is just your body's way of dealing with everything.. don't start letting yourself think any more of it.. you've got enough on your plate right now!!! Good on you for starting notes and plans!!

Spring - Hugs.. what a rough day and good on you for going to get take out tonight.. you absolutely deserve the treat!!

Lisa - Wish I could help but Luke took the bottle no problems at all so don't really know what to suggest. Good luck!

Mako - Oh hun, don't be too hard on yourself, it's such a rough journey that you're on atm and coming up to your angels EDD is incredibly tough. I was feeling EXACTLY the same way... it's just not fair... and I think it's only natural to be mourning your December angel more at this stage.. again, I was the same with my August angel (compared to my Jan angel) and ended up getting this BFP only a few weeks before my August angels EDD. It was a very difficult time for me too and I'm praying that you get your BFP soon too hun but try not to put too much pressure on yourself either... it's definitely not going to help. I wish there was more I could say or do. Massive hugs and know that we're all here so please open up to us as much as you need.. it certainly helps!!!

Michelle - Not a day goes by that I don't think of you too... you're doing so incredibly well and I can't tell you how much I admire your courage and strength (even if you don't feel it yourself right now)!!! We're all here for you. Hugs.

Janie & Lisa - We need to organise a catch up... I just can't do Tuesday mornings or Wednesdays.

BW - Hope you're doing ok.

Hope everyone else is well. AFU - We're pretty good. Just trying to enjoy this pg as much as I can.. as it will definitely be our last!! I have such a huge belly already, it's crazy and all the comments have been getting to me a little bit but I also love it... it's so wonderful!! LOL. Desperately awaiting some good movement though... I hate this stage and can't help but worry just a little. Maybe I should of hired the doppler like I did with Luke.. oh well, not worth it now!! I think I've been feeling a little bit but not enough to put my mind at ease.. and it's still ages until my next OB appointment!!

Kel xxx

Just a quick note - sinus headache - urgh! I had a fantastic weekend away in the company of women. It has been a very healing time, and a nurturing time and it was most definitely the weekend I needed right now at this point in time. I'm feeling so much better about everything. Have to get ready to go to church this evening, so I can't stay long - but thank you to everyone for your thoughts and messages. Resigning has been difficult, but I have a sense of peace about the decision as it is very much what needed to happen... doesn't mean I'm entirely happy with the way the school has treated me, but time to move on from that one!

BW

BW: it is so nice to hear you positive. One thing I've learned is that sometimes the worst situations open doors we otherwise may have ignored. I'm glad you had such a good retreat.

Lee: I'm really happy your time away with DH1's family was healing. You guys deserve so much happiness.

Kel: wow look at your ticker girl. I never got movement until
closer to 20 weeks with any of my boys. Are you going to find out the gender?

Well today has been horrid. Nuf said.

Lv Spring

ps Freya haven't seen you in here for a while. Miss you girl,

Spring: Sorry it's not been a good day my love. :comfort:

I am here just to give my love to beautiful Michelle... :hug:

& Jayne... Please know you are constantly in my thoughts. :hug:

Oh Spring, what a crapola few days for you hun :( Hope tomorrow is better! Good on you for sticking it to Jenny Craig :rofl:

Jayne, thinking and thinking of you my love

Michelle, I am always here, and you are always in my thoughts :hug:

Mako, sorry you're having a tough time right now, lots of hugs for you too

Better go lovelies, DS1 needs to be taken to bed. He is a sick boy, and his sleep has been all over the place - he slept from 5-7.30 tonight, hence the late hour now! He's currently running around hyped up on panadol :lol: At least it brought his temp down, now I am just hoping for no croup!!! DS2 is an absolute ANGEL, so beautiful and cute, with lovely smiles and talking (cooing!) now. I am hopelessly in love :D. Feeding is just trudging along ATM, good days and not so good days *shrug* We'll get there :)

xoxo

Just checking to see how Nicholas is this morning Janie???

Oh thank you Jayney :hug: I've been thinking of you lots darl, hope tomorrow comes Q-U-I-C-K-L-Y. He had another very disrupted night, but again, is bright as a button during the day! He is extra snotty *blergh* and it is now green *double blergh* as well as having a hacking cough. No croup tho!!! He just told me (while crying) that his hand and arm felt 'fuzzy'....no idea what that is??? Just keeping an eye on him. Checked his temp cos he felt hot and it was 38.8 in one ear and 36.9 in the other WTF? I checked both ears three times too, cos I thought that seemed odd? He tells me he doesn't have a sore ear, so I've got no idea.

Lee, meant to say, awesome to see you back!!!!! Glad you had a nice time, and that your trip was somewhat healing :hug:

Janie I hope N is feeling better soon. We also have lots of snot here atm too and its so grose. I'm not sure who is worse though, me or S. Anyway I hope you manage a better night sleep tonight. How is he now? Has he stopped complaining of a sore arm?

Jayne I'm thinking of you too hunny. I also hope tomorrow arrives quickly for you :hug:

Michelle I'm thinking of you too lovely. I can't even begin to imagine how tomorrow is going to be for you. I do hope Oscar has an enjoyable 3rd birthday and I'll be thinking of you on your Wedding Anniversary :hug:

Thanks to you all once again for letting me know I'm "normal" (if thats true lol).
Today has been an emotional day. My best friend found out that her IVF cycle wasn't successful and that they need to start all over again( her DS is 1 month younger than Sage and she did 1 FET this cycle with her only frosty that survived the thawing process). I'm so sad that it didn't work out for her :( I wish this ttc journey was so mach easier for all of us and it breaks my heart knowing all the struggles we have to go through to either start our families or add to them :(

Mmmmm, just been posting to a mum who is having trouble with breastfeeding because of a thyroid condition that has appeared. I didn't know much about it, except that it can affect breastfeeding, so I went to do a little bit of reading. Now I'm wondering if that was the problem with my pregnancy? Both thyroid conditions can cause IUGR. They can also affect milk supply. Mind you, it seems weird, if you looked at potential symptoms, it would look like hyperthyroidism during my pg, but hypo afterwards. I lost weight in my first and third trimesters, and for some weeks afterwards, but then very quickly start piling it on. Who knows, maybe it's nothing to do with it, maybe I'm just looking for an excuse why I'm getting fat :rofl: Had my BT last week for all those clotting things, hoping to get the results soon to see if that shows anything!

Sorry to ramble on, it probably doesn't make any sense! I just needed somewhere to get it out, thanks for reading :)

Michelle, thinking of you, and holding you and the kiddies close in my heart.

Jayne, thinking of you lovely :hug:

Spring, how is your toe?

Thanks Mako :) The sore arm went away, who knows? :lol:

Janie - you can get thyroid dysfunction during (and after) pregnancy so it is something that should be considered for you too.

Crud here. Too many tears and all too sad. I just wish it could all be so very different. It isn't, so in the words of Greg I have to suck it up princess :( Hoping I can spend some of the day with a smile for my little man. He doesn't deserve the sad mummy who is currently crying on the lounge.

Thinking of you Michelle :hug: :hug: :hug: and :happybirthday: Oscar.

Michelle - :comfort:

:happybirthday: to your beautiful little boy. I hope the day brings a little happiness amidst the heartache

:hug:

Happy Birthday Oscar!!!! Am sending you so much strength & courage Michelle to get through this bittersweet day.

Love Jayne

PS _ Have updated my 'other' thread.

Michelle - More massive hugs babe... I wish I could say more. A big happy birthday to Oscar!

Jayne - Thinking of you.

Janie - Good luck with the test results... although I'd hate for there to be something that comes up... it would be good for you to have some answers.. iykwim??

Mako - Hope you're haing a better day today too... it's a long, painful journey and it's just not fair.

Nothing new from us... just getting a bit lonely again and desperately need some more friends but don't really have the energy to be out there making them!!! We went to the zoo yesterday and had an amazing day... but it's still hard having to do it all on our own. At least Luke is getting some good one on one time with me before the baby comes!

Kel xx

Jayney Jayne Jayne - :hug:

Kelly - I understand. I haven't moved to a new city (which kinda makes it a bit more depressing really :think:) but I am feeling very lonely too. I have a few friends close by but no one ever has enough time. It's hard and very isolating :hug:

Kelly - I wish you were here too honey, but I have to keep everything completely 'normal'. I don't want anybody knowing my business just yet. I have to be able to process this on my own & figure myself out mentally before I can tell anybody. I just need to have my own headspace figured out before I can tell anybody. That's even if I do decide to tell anybody. Nothing will be changing much for the next year at least, I know that much.

WILLOW _ I'm hearing you loud & clear on the 'isolated' front. Can you imagine if we all lived in the same suburb!!! Geepers we'd have some fun.

Well I'm off to walk Banjo Boy after Claudia finishes her grapes. Jessica has a birthday party to attend this afternoon so at least my day is very busy to distract me.

Love Jayne

As much fun as it would be if we all lived in the same place, I can't see many of us getting much housework done! Of course, I'm now feeling a little guilty as I'm less than 20 minutes from Willow... Now that I've stopped working again I do actually have time to catch up - just need to wait until the household is a little less infectious. In the last 5 weeks we've had all of one week where Sam hasn't been either sick or teething, and I think he's both at the moment. I'm feeling horrid as I think I've caught his sore throat bug... can't speak or swallow and it's just horrid! I ache all over and it's so hard dealing with the sick and miserable baby when you yourself are sick and miserable. Fortunately DH is home today and he took him for a drive to give me some space and a rest.

Michelle... thinking of you today :hug:

BW

Kelly, I would love to invite myself over to your place tomorrow, but DS1 has been sick, and although I thought he was well and truly recovered this morning, he has gone downhill this afternoon :(. Are you free Friday? I could even see if the girls want to meet at a playcentre or something (if you didn't feel up to having us all at your place).

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't been in for so long, just been very busy of late!

Michelle - happy birthday to Oscar!! I hope Oscar has a lovely birthday although I know it must be so very hard for you. I think of you all the time hun. Not that it helps at all, but I do think of you xx

Jayne - I have just caught up on your other thread. OMG, you poor thing!! I am so impressed at how coolly you are handling it though, it is definitely for the best, especially with the girls to think of. I am just so impressed that you are managing to do it! I would probably have flown off the handle flinging accusations around right from the outset, but the way you are handling it is much much better. I am so glad to hear you are all clear. I went through a similar thing (although not nearly as awful as what you are going through) but I remember how angry I was at having to get tested because of the idiot I was dating (and had been for quite some time!). Thankfully all was fine, but it is not a nice thing to have to do. How are you managing chatting to Alan on the phone? Can you manage to sound normal? It must be very very hard.

mako - sorry to hear you sounding down hun. I find the lead up to an EDD very hard to handle as well hun, and some are harder than others, so can understand what you are going through. Hugs hun xx

Inana - how are things going now hun? Was court just a one off last week or is it continuing? I wish I could make some good news come your way.

Kelly - I can totally understand the isolation of being in a new place and not having the energy to get out and about. I got preggers with DS soon after moving to Vic and found that as I was spewing so often, I really couldn't get out much at all, and was reluctant to contact the few friends I had made because I was afraid of spewing up all over them and them not wanting to be friends for very long!! Hugs hun. I will actually be in Melb again next week (from Thurs to Sun again) but I don't know where we will be staying this time or when I will be free. DH has a medical in the city on the Fri morning and that's about all I know at this stage. Would love to catch up if we can organise something.

Hi to everyone else. Again, sorry I haven't been in much, it is just so hard to get on the puter these days! We are chugging along as usual, kids are great and sleeping ok too. I am still worried about my sister who is not handling the break up with her partner well at all. I wish I could help more. DH is off to the US again in a couple of weeks and will be gone for three weeks this time. I am dreading it!!

Hi Ladies,

Just letting you know in advance to NOT freak out when I go MIA for a while. I'm completely sane (well mostly! LOL), just that my computer needs repairs so it's off to the shop tomorrow.

I ate dinner tonight! Small woo hoo but I still ate. I have only eaten dinner once over the past 5 nights, bad I know, but if you can't eat, you can't eat. But Jess had a birthday party after school & I ate dinner there. Not sure how long it'll stay inside my gut, but at least I ate. Everything I eat just goes completely straight through me, within a good half-hour.

I'm off to get the girls ready for bed.

Thanks again to such beautiful women for all their support. You truly are the best.

Love Jayne

Michelle - Happy Birthday to Oscar. I hope Oscar shed a little light and sunshine on your day..hugs

Sorry I haven't around much, I am reading. Feeling lonely and stuck in the stay at home mummy rut atm.

Love to all

Oh Michelle I am not going to pretend I remembered today was Oscar's birthday but I will blame the FWEXH for his antics today for taking me far away from thoughts of things that are important. I am so sorry it's taken all day for it to twig. Happy birthday Oscar beautiful boy. Happy birthing day Michelle. :hug: :happybirthday: I know it's a bittersweet day & I just feel so rotten that it escaped my mind until now. I hope that you both had as lovely day as you can being your first without Greg. I send you all my love & I am truly sorry... :hug:

Parallel lives Bek, parrallel lives.

:hug:

Michelle: I've been thinking if you and your darling big boy Oscar today. :happybirthday: to your gorgeous boy. I hope today you managed a smile and didn't feel too much sadness. You have beautiful children and you shoud know that you are an amazing Mum. Greg would be so proud.

Thanks girls :grouphug: Today has been a rough one. Oscar has had a good day and was spoilt with lots of gifts. I got to spend a few quiet hours of reflection this evening thinking about *stuff* and trying hard to remember the good things. Especially as today was also our 8th wedding anniversary. So many hopes and dreams and plans now shattered to dust. So much re-building to do. I miss him so very much and I know it isn't going to get any easier until all of these firsts are over with. Only then might we be able to enjoy our life with only moments of bittersweet regret and remembrance rather than tears at every turn.

But we are ok. I have (almost) three beautiful earth babies and two very special angels to watch over us. This is our new life and we must deal with it piece by piece. Your love and support will help us get through to the other side and to the path we are meant to walk *mwah*

Michelle - I'm so glad Oscar had a good day and was spoilt rotten.. god knows he deserves it! What a tough day.. Oscar's birthday and your wedding anniversary.. I'm so proud of you for getting through it... of course there's going to be a heap of tears but you're dealing with it all with such clarity and strength. Greg would be one seriously proud guy looking down on you. You're right, this year... full of 'firsts' will be extremely difficult and there are so many more tears to be shed but it will get easier.. in a strange way.. you just somehow 'adjust'. I'm thinking of you constantly and it's put a whole new perspective on life for me.

Janie - Thanks so much hun... life over here would be even harder without you and our catch ups!! I can't thank you enough. I don't have anything on Friday and would love to catch up.. only if you guys are feeling up to it. I hope N is feeling better today and I hope D doesn't come down with it! We've been so lucky.. DH is the only one that's had a bit of a cold... touch wood!! Anyway let me know about Friday.. I'm happy meet wherever!

Jayne - Hugs.

Deb - Hugs.. I still can't believe what you're going through right now, life is a very strange place sometimes and I'm praying that things 'turn around' for you.

Bek & Willow - Hugs.. I've been feeling a bit the same lately.. not working anymore and having another bub on the way (so definitely no more work for me for a while) is challenging!!

Bun - Let us know when you have more of an idea about where you're staying and when you're free.. if we can make it... we'll be there for sure!!

BW - Hope you're feeling a bit better.

Well... it's daycare day today... woo hoo!!! I feel terrible sometimes but I just LOVE daycare day.. it's my only saviour sometimes, I really just miss being able to pop in to Mum's for a little rest, so daycare is all I have! But.. it also means so much work.. getting the house cleaned, the shopping done etc etc. Although I cheated this week and used Coles online for the first time... wow.. it's brilliant. Will be doing that a lot more!!!! So now today is just getting the housework done and cleaning up. Hopefully there will be time for some rest.. I'm so tired. It's my Mum's birthday today too... so feeling a bit sad that we're missing it. They're all going out to dinner tonight. Oh well... gotta get used to that.

Kel xxx

kelly - I just noticed the cute little bump on your avatar - it's gorgeous!

Awwww... I didn't notice it... how exciting!! Kinda looks like my bump already... LOL!!!

My tests results came back all clear..........I was kind of expecting something to show up there, so I'm a bit thrown. I just want to KNOW dammit! Off to the GP tomorrow anyway, so will chat about testing thyroid function.

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
