A MASSIVE congratulations to you Bec on the birth of your darling girl!!!! Well done, what a good size she was too
Dory - I hope your day goes well tomorrow. It sounds like you have made some lovely plans for the anniversary and the balloons sound beautiful. I will be thinking of you and your angels tomorrow with much love xxx
Powelly - it is good to hear you are having more good days than bad and hopefully that continues for you, especially after you have a good scan in 3 weeks. Just for some reassurance, I have IC and never had any feelings or signs that my cervix was failing till it was way too late so stay away from google!!
Teni - yay for no more induction talk!
Nothing to report here; my belly button has officially disappeared and I am getting the ligament pain radiating down into my thighs now so its all fun, fun, fun
OMG - my heart just skipped a beat when I saw the notification that you had posted....
OMG I am so excited or you.
Welcome to the world precious Sophie Ann .....
I hope that Mum and Sophie are doing well.
Very good weight and length. Can't wait to hear more details, when you can manage it and if you want to share.
Hope that you are recovering well from your caesarean.... and hope the emergency part wasn't too stressful for you.
Go gently on yourself as you start this new journey.
Powelly - arghh. stay away from Dr Google.... never a good thing unless you are looking for something specific. I, like Jo aka AngelLuke'sMum - have incompetent cervix, well probably. For me it meant I went into spontaneous premature labour - contractions, a show.... although for me there were other things going on too - infections blah blah blah.
If you're worried, go up to the hossy and get checked out. Good to call them too though like you did, but if that reassurance isn't enough, head on up to the hossy.... no harm to go up.
Good news on a scan coming up though for you, 3 weeks seems like an eternity.
Miss B - is DH back from China yet?
Teni - yay about no more induction...
Jo - are you on bed rest or modified rest with your stitch? If so I wanted to ask how you managed with Kaitlyn? I'll be needing some tips when my time comes again.
Well errands all done.... just have to finalise the little service booklet. The candles look really good. Will post some photos in my album here on BB.
CONGRATS SAMCOUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's lovely news that Sophie has arrived safely into your arms. What a big girl! Enjoy the lovely stage of getting to know each other and as Dory said, be gentle on yourself :-)
Angellukesmum and Dory - thank you so much for your advice and sharing your stories. I think all the niggles I'm having is bub moving from my pelvis up and out. I feel sooooo tight in my lower abdomen and as if there's no more room and today I've had sharp stabbing pains on and off so I'm sure that's it. I'll go for a walk later and hope that the movement somehow budges bub up and out of the pelvis. Hmmm, sounds interesting...
CONGRATULATIONS Samcougar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you sweetie, welcome to your beautiful princess Sophie Ann ! Enjoy all your beautiful cuddles hun, well done!
Jo, hellooooo my lovely! Look at you hun, you are ready to pop any minute!! Can't wait for your BA, do you think it will be soon??? Hope so!! DF is still in China hun, will have him back in 2 weeks
Dory, I will be thinking of you tomorrow, big hugs sweetie What you have planned is just so beautiful, particularly the butterflies (I love balloons too) so I hope the day brings you much peace and love. Amelia, Nicholas and Sophie will all be smiling down on you from above, and blowing HB so many sweet kisses. I have a tear in my eye now..
Powelly, please try not to stress too much hun I remember all those niggly feelings all too well! Rest up and chin up hun, it will be all good, I just know it!! Big hugs
Laney, yay for hubby being back!! I miss mine So glad that clot isn't there anymore, the thinners must be working! I plan to attack my DF on the 'babies' topic when he is back from China but I would really love to do a cycle this year. We'll see!
Did I miss anyone? Oh Tenni, how are you going hun???
Teni - thinking of you especially tomorrow for Ianto's first angel versary. Approach the day with love in your heart, peace in your soul.... Your darling boy is always with you, nestled right in your heart.
Teni - Big hugs to you today. Not an easy day so be gentle on yourself xoxox
MissB - thank you for your note - not stressing is foreign to me but I'm working on it. I'm trying to give bub the nicest, calmest home. Sometimes I fail miserably but most of the time things are good..
Samcougar - hope that things are going well and that you are settling in nicely to newby-hood!
As for me, ultra sound coming up in 2.5 weeks and I'm starting to get really scared about it. I'm trying to not think about it as I know worrying won't change the outcome but I'm just petrified there will be a problem like the first time and going through the subsequent hell that followed after we lost our little boy. I know I'll enjoy the rest of the pregnancy after the scan, more than I have in the first half, and I just need the scan to be over with. Just wish I could find a way to silence the mind. I find I'm waking up in the morning with mind racing.
Powelly - hugs... I know what it's like to be so petrified... I hope you find a way to quiet your fears, not silence them..... really the only advice I have is just try to live in each moment and try not to think about the future. I know that's hard... and often I couldn't take my own advice, but it worked to at least make things manageable. What date in 2.5 weeks?
Teni - look at you girl 37 + 1 weeks....
Jo - are you still with us oh pregnant one or have you popped? Your stitch would have come out or be coming out very soon. Thinking of you.
Laney - How is Brexton and Grayson going?
Miss B - how are those plans for Cam's big firsty coming?
Sam - Day 18.. how's it all going with dear little Sophie ( great name too by the way, I meant to say that earlier).!!
AFM - well apart from Hannah and I both having a cold and Hannah being much more gracious about it than me... I feel miserable. How is it that she smiles and laughs when she has a cold and I feel miserable and want to curl in a ball? Oh well, today Hannah sat unsupported all by herself for longer than her usual few seconds, and played with some blocks at the same time. It's just so amazing to watch them grow and achieve things.... the look they get as they are so proud of themselves is pretty neat too. But it also reminds me, that my little baby bear is growing up....
Oh and Amelia's angel day and the interment of the ashes ceremony went well, sad of course, but it was time and it was beautiful. Had a friend take some photos, so will post some... I am hoping the photos reflect the sadness but peacefulness of the day. Haven't been back yet, due to being sick.... guess the first time will be one of the hardest. I am thinking we might release some more butterflies and balloons on Nick's angel day. The weather will be cooler and the butterflies might hang around a while longer.
Oh I saw a beautiful little lady bug today... it was awesome. After Amelia died, it seems lady bugs were always landing on me and staying.... and until today that was something I had forgotten. It was nice to be reminded.
! Enjoy all your beautiful cuddles hun, well done! 
What you have planned is just so beautiful, particularly the butterflies (I love balloons too) so I hope the day brings you much peace and love. Amelia, Nicholas and Sophie will all be smiling down on you from above, and blowing HB so many sweet kisses. I have a tear in my eye now..
I remember all those niggly feelings all too well! Rest up and chin up hun, it will be all good, I just know it!! Big hugs
