what do i write..

[~MummaBear~]

This may seem really easy for some of you but i am having a little bit of trouble. I pulled out DS's baby record book today and started filling it is.. all was great until it got to the dreaded question

I have ______ brothers and _______ sisters

I struggle with this question every single time it is asked the only difference being i can change my answer depending on the situation/ person/ how i feel..
once it is written i cant change it.

the next bit then says
what are their names and ages
If i include my little Angel baby ( which is what i think would be the right thing here) what do i write...

sorry like i said it may be easy for some of you.. i just seem to be struggling

I would write the names and maybe draw angel wings next to angel bubba, maybe a date or something.

It is not an easy thing to write and I applaude you for taking the time to give it due consideration xoxo

MO4, how bizzare that my mum bought me a baby book today which is really lovely, but I actually thought, pity it doesn't have something like that in it where it asks how many brothers/sisters the little one has. I would be so proud to write Joshua's name in. I plan to tell Cam about Joshua as soon as he can understand, and make Josh a big part of Cam's life.

:yeahthat: If you're a bit 50/50 about it. I'm different, I'd put Ianto's name and leave it at that, but I know not everyone's the same. If you feel there should be a distinction between your earth babies and your angel baby, then make a distinction

the silly thing is i know that Xavier will know all about Kyarna.. he has older brothers and sister that were there, they talk about her every single day and his record book is for him its not for the whole world... i dont know why ti was an issue! Writing it down really helped clarify things!! thanks guys!!

MO4, that is so special that Kyarna (what a beautiful name hun) is such a big part of your children's life. They all have a very precious little angel always watching over them. Big hugs xxxx

Mo4 - I remember getting to that part of Hannah's baby book too and it gave me pause.... but Amelia, Nicholas and Sophie went in. I can't remember exactly what I wrote... hang on... just snuck into Hannah's room to grab it .... hope I didn't wake her..... here's what it says....

I have 1 brother and 2 sisters [and then I added in my own writing] who died before I was born. Their names and ages are [then I just put each child's name and their dob]. Thinking about it I am going to add something about them always being loved and remembered and with us.

I suppose, in a way it's easier for me, as I could just have a blanket statement about Hannah's older siblings, but you've got a mix of earthside and an angel bubs.

I have already started to tell Hannah about her brother and sisters .... not so much because she understands, but because I want those conversations to be an every day conversation, so I decided to start as soon as possible.

I was just saying to Ferrals the other day that I really miss those days in the TTC thread when we all used to hang out and help each other through. Even though I am glad that most of us now have gotten our BFP's and our little bubbas, we were such a great bunch and it's harder to catch up now, was easy when we were all in the one spot. Did you know Murraycod is 37 weeks! Not long to go now. Ferrals is due end of March, but is hoping for caesear earlier. I try to remember to PM the girls - Crafty. Hmm reminds me, must send a hello to Mathew's mum.

Beata - OMG - look at Cam now - 10 months and he's not a lil bubba anymore! Where does the time go? I remember when you said you wanted to TTC again not too long after Cam was born and I did think, "why so soon?". I tell you I have the bug. I really want to be pregnant again (yes even though it will be hard and it will be another high risk preg esp with PE and HELLP but the Dr says nothing to stop me medically). Are you still in China? Man it's hot here at the mo, it's ok if sitting still but as soon as I move, I am drenched in sweat. I am hoping Hannah sleeps through the hottest part of the day.
