    Michelle, I am about to head to bed to sleep in a drug-induced haze. My thoughts are with you.

    Bad day for the arthritis here. Cold weather doesn't normally make me hurt, but we've had a couple of days of bitter cold where I've struggled to keep warm and the pains in my legs are horrendous. Hoping he panadeine forte will kick in soon so I can get some sleep - the boys have already gone long ago.

    Laney, I hope you can focus on the positives and not stress too much between now and the next scan.

    Dont have any details just a sms sometime early this morning, he was born by emergency csection last night sometime and is in the NICU. Michelle is exhausted. She'll give details to someone later (Deb might know?) I think for now she is resting and processing everything.

    huh just realised Michelle might not have wanted me to share...............I figured everyone would have gotten sms's. Or maybe she sent it to me because she knows I would be up half the night anyway and wanted me to share..............either way send lots of love and prayers to her and George. Hopefully when I kick this cold I can go visit and give her hugs from everyone in person.

    Let's just keep it to this thread until we hear further. I'm sending all my love to Michelle and George. She must feel on a roller coaster of emotions. I hope George is in her arms soon.

    Guys I've just been txting with Michelle. Please all light your candles and start praying for Michelle and George. They are facing some hurdles and every little bit of positivity and love we can send their way will help.

    I also gave Michelle a quick phone call earlier tonight. Please keep her and sweet little George in your thoughts and prayers.

    Janie I hope you're feeling better soon hun.

    I'm ok. Pain seems to have eased a bit so am hopeful its nothing serious. I'm on 2 weeks holidays as of tomorrow lunchtime and I can tell you it hasn't come quick enough.
    DH and I are planning on taking Sage to see Toy Story on Sunday. The movies are showing it in regular screen as well as 3D. I 1st thought it was only in 3D and was a bit disappointed that Sage wouldn't be able to see it at the movies. He's a huge Woody and Buzz fan atm lol.

    I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Sorry for the lack of personals tonight too. Will try and catch up a bit more over the next few days.

    michelle, you and George have been in my thoughts.

    mako, I have horrible pain when I ovulate. I have issues with cysts as well and they can be very painful. I am glad that you are starting to feel better. Have a great holiday!

    Bun, I know how hard it can be to ask for help. You should really let them know how you are feeling. My mom and I had the same issue for a while. Come to find out, she was worried that she would be bothering me. She didn't want to interrupt nap time or feeding time. Sometimes you need to let tham know that you need some interruptions.

    kelly, It is tough being pregnant and caring for an active little one. It makes it even harder when you don't have family close by to help you on those tough days. You are not perfect, only human, and there are most likely going to be many more moments when you lose you patients. You are still a good mom.

    AFM, I am taking a trip home to New york for the long weekend. I haven't been home in a while and I don't see too many trips in the near future. It is a 5 hour drive and I am not going to be doing that with 2 little ones or with a huge pregnant belly. I can't wait to see my family and friends. I feel really alone being so far away.
    I think I am starting to relax a bit about the ultrasound results. My doctor really did try to tell me that it is most likely nothing and to not worry about it. Easier said than done. I guess soft markers are something to look at more closely if your blood work comes back positive.

    Yes, I've spoken to Michelle today & it's been a very big day today. SEE HERE

    George has improved so our prayers are helping - so let's keep at it. Quan Yin hasn't been let burn out since George's birth (actually since before!). I am sending REiki as are so many people here & importantly I am just loving her from afar. Crying, laughing, thinking, being and having faith that all will be just fine - but clearly the journey is a difficult one.

    If you read this gorgeous - you are LOVED!

    AFM I am really crap. Things have gone to pot again and tonight I have the migraine from hell. Just been for voimit number 3 & am ready to sleep. I will come back tomorrow when I have brain function.

    Kelly How did your scan go? I hope you didn't have to go solo and I hope Luke is feeling better too.

    Bun So pleased you sorted some stuff out with your mum. Its awful when there is a bit of tension in the air
    I hope Catherine is feeling better soon too. Your latest pics are beautiful

    Hi to everyone. No time for personals right now as I need to go find something to cook a certain little boy something for dinner as his daddy and mummy won't be eating until late tonight as DH is working late and then playing basketball
