Sky - we must have posted at the same time... I was sooooo excited to see your name pop up. I have been thinking about you a lot, but not gotten to PM'ing you. So sorry for being slack. I can't believe you're 33 weeks. I'll bet you're feeling pretty nervous now..... how are M & S doing? M will be 6 this year and S will be 3. Amazing. And Jack, your precious boy will soon be 1. Crazy..... I can't believe, literally, that my 3 will be 3 this year. I used to see people's signatures on BB and see their angels were older, and I used to wonder what that was like. Guess now I am there. Do you have any plans for his anniversary? Take care of yourself my friend.
Laney - I must pop in and check to see if you've been able to post a BA...... thinking of you sweets and sending you lots of love. Who's looking after Grayson and Brexton while you're in hossy?
Sky - sending you hugs.
TM - I hope you and Rylee and going well. Can you believe it's one and a bit weeks already?
Here's a question, and one which I imagine only bereaved mothers would think to ask. I don't know the answers so need to ask....
Does a baby have to be alive to be baptised?
Does a person have to be baptised to have a funeral in a church?
I might ask a friend of mine who is really religious. I don't want to ask my Mum as it will just upset her, but she would know.
Dory - We are going very well thank you, I cant believe its been almost 2 weeks seems like just yesterday lol. Im unsure of those questions im pretty sure I have heard of people baptising there stillborn babies but I wouldnt know sorry. How are you going? Has the m/s gone yet?
Laney - I hope you are enjoying those newborn snuggles :P
Sky - Wow hun not long and your wee girl will be here how are you going?
AFM - Rylee is doing very well shes very content my mum skyped with us this morning and she just sat with me didnt make a noise, so after that I bathed her and she just loves her bath lol she cryed when I took her out, but now she smells nice since she has decided to poo right through her clothes 2 days in a row now lol.
TM - that's so sweet about Rylee being content, and pooing through her clothes. HB was never that content as a wee one, but there were reasons for that. About the pooing, it's gross but it means that everything is working as it should!!! So I say go Rylee, but two days in a row is enough! LOL. How is DP going as a Dad?
The m/s has gone, phew. It's been replaced with constipation/diaihorrea.... yikes, not pleasant, but the m/s was worse. There is no glamour in pregnancy for some huh?
HB is currently sleep refusing, and getting more and more upset. DH is in with her. I think he's trying not to nurse her, problem is when he puts her to bed he's been nursing her for a while now, so it's what she's become used to. I don't do it but when I put her to sleep last night, I ended up doing it as she was just so upset. Still took an hour. YIKES!!! When I put her to sleep during the day there is no and hardly any crying. Oh well. Maybe I'll go in , as it's easier to listen to when I am in there, as at least I feel like I am doing something.
My friend said he's going to look into those questions, but he has to do some research.
OMG you girls can talk, I'm not even sure how I'm going to catch up.
rhubarbandcustard - congratulations and welcome although I wish we were meeting under different circumstances. We didn't get organised until the last possible moment, hubby was still buying things while I was in hospital so your not alone with feeling like taking things slow with getting organised. If you want a homebirth though dory's right try to keep your options open, if you can, it might be hard but somehow you'll find the strength to organise it.
skybie - not long to go now.
TylersMummy - it sounds like you are Rylee are going great and the pooing through the clothes thing, though very gross is also very normal.
Laney - I can't wait to hear all about your newest arrival and hope you and the little one, and the whole family for that matter are doing well.
dory - we were offered a christening for Isabel but because we didn't go ahead with it I'm not sure if it would have been religious or civil. I'm so glad you're having such a positive experience with your councellor. If you're still thinking about a psychologist maybe talked to your doctor about a referral, somehow I'm able to get referrals from my doctor that make a set number of appointments free through medicare. Unfortunately even after 3yrs I still feel awkward and guilt and never know what to say about how many babies I have, you're so lucky to have found some amount of peace with that.
AFM and I'll keep it short, today this baby is the same gestation as Isabel was when we lost her and in less than 2wks it will be Isabel's 3rd Birthday. My iron levels are playing up even more than usual, to the point that the doctor is using scare tactics (which is unlike her) to take supplements even though she knows that's not an option. My care hasn't improved, so this time I'm trying to do everything without my psychologist and they wont let me have one of the extra U/Ss that I had with Kate.
I hope that covers most things and that I haven't missed anyone.
Dory - Haha yes its a bit gross but Im happy to know everything is working, she peed on my hand this morning when I was changing her nappy lol first time too so I must be lucky. DF is doing well I just wish he would help a bit more, I cant wait till I get my breast pump so he can help with feeding her. He is just so in love with his little girl though lol. Glad your ms has gone boo about it coming out the other end though lol, I hated being constipated and with being on iron supplements made it harder too lol. Aw I hope HB starts sleeping for you, dont all DP's do that though lol even if you tell them no lol. Glad your friend is having a look into your questions.
Kam - Thanks we are doing very well. Oh hun thinking of you big hugs you have reached one of the biggest milestones in your pregnancy. I hope Isabel's 3rd birthday goes by gently for you and I will be thinking of you as you remember your darling Isabel. I hope you make a complaint about the care your getting sounds like they dont care as you have a live baby sorry that you arent having the care you should be.
KAM - Hope you got through your milestone gestation with this bubs. Thinking of you for Isabel's birthday. 3 years. How time goes, and how it feels like only yesterday. I hope you have something nice planned to remember your darling little Isabel. Sorry that your care isn't up to scratch. Hugs. I could go to the GP, but the medicare rules changed and I need a mental health plan, and I am not sure I want that. I can claim a portion from the health fund, so that might just be enough.
TM - he he. Pee is better than Poo.
Sky - can't wait to hear from you again.
Laney - sending you lots of love.
AFM - just doing it tough right now. Not a lot to say, unusually. Take care.
