    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.

    Hi
    Dory I am glad your special day for your angels went well - it must have been hard. We still have Lukes ashes with us and I suspect they will remain with us for a while yet as we both hate the idea of him being somewhere alone iykwim

    And yes I am still here and still pregnant! The exciting news is that in, oh probably less than 48 hours, I will be in labour. I want to rejoice with but now it is getting close I feel more like this Starting to remember all that "nice" stuff that comes afterwards like the bleeding, afterbirth pains, the initial attachment ouch with breastfeeding and the joy of the milk coming in and giving me porn star assets... oh but wait all of that is nothing really because I will have my baby in my arms!!
    I am booked for stitch removal Thurs morning and my ob will break my waters at the same time - no drip to begin with, just wait and see if thats enough to get my body going, otherwise I'll have the drip again like I did with Kaitlyn. My ob is predicting a very quick labour so hopefully he is right. I had a dream last night that I had the baby and it just fell out of me and I didnt even know it had been born. And it was a girl and I looked at it and said "you aren't my baby, you are supposed to be a boy" LOL. Not long now till we find out for sure!

    Wish me luck ladies

    Laney - it's friday in Aus..... which means Jo might be enjoying her newborn cuddles right now, or still in labour... oh my.... oh my. Can you let us know if you find something on facebook?

    Jo - thinking of you and wishing you a safe and speedy induction and birth. Just to be contratry to Laney I am going to say blue, even though I am really thinking pink. Ha, cant really have a bet each way can I.

    Teni - any more updates?

    Powelly - how about you? How are you going?

    JLK - I know its been ages since you posted, but just wanted to make sure that all is well with you and your precious little one.

    Miss B - any more news on the birthday plans? I am already thinking about it and have NO IDEA.... I just used up all my emotional energy to organise the interment service for our angels - candles, balloons, buterflies... it took so much time and thought.

    I am off, I managed to make the cat sick by giving him tuna. As he threw up for the second time I remembered... ah human tuna, not recomended for cats. Poor wee cat. Seems all good now, snoring away, fast asleep.
