    Baby Dreamtime I sencond the motion, I had really strong BH Christmas eve and day and I'm so glad no bubba. That would have been a little early and not the best timing so now I'm happy when Squeak is ready. Do you have a feeling on your D Day?

    Lani I bet you have next to no time atm, hope Christmas with your new budle was great. I can't wait for next year, Christmas is so much better with kids around.

    Kyra just take care of you. mrs efficiant can mean you doing too much. Christmas is for rest too. Sorry to hear about your itchy sore problem Make sure you find something you like, prune, cloudy apple or all bran you can eat daily. Allbran has been my saviour.

    Wantbaby I've had discharge the whole way through ICHY and it's from yellow to light brown. Hope yo7u had more than salad for Christmas. All meat just needs to be HOT! I fried some ham in a nonstick pan and it was great.

    Christmas was great, but was feeling very pg by the end of the day. Was glad to come home and couch. Although today we are getting a dvd or two tv is apauling atm. I don't mind veging on the pc but that is a tad anti social isn't it.

    Still fussing in the nursary too, I know I should sit more but there is so many little touches to put together. So exciting and no Christmas baby for me. I had a bit of a bad feeling Christmas Eve really strong BH and thought "oh no" but no Squeak as yet.

    Hi girls,

    I just wanted to pop in and say Merry Xmas to everyone. I glad everyone is healthy and happy.

    Me, on the other hand, not doing so great. Our beloved little 2 1/2 year old Klein Spitz died last night. I am truely beyond devistated. Maybe a heart attack but we dont really know as he was alone at the time. I have never felt so guilty in my life, I feel like we failed him because he was by himself. No signs of a distress or struggle (no frothing at the mouth, no bulging eyes, no soiling) infact he looked still alive...

    I dont know how I will get through this. I feel so bad for lil Blue because I know he is feeling my pain too, so that is making me feel even more guilty. I knew that losing a pet was hard but I never expected it to be THIS hard.

    Oh dear, another crying jag... sorry to be such a drainer everyone...

    Sammiejam, I was just having a quick window shop but when I saw your post I was heartbroken for you. Excuse my ignorance, I'm a dog person through and through but not sure if Klein Spitz is dog or cat (doesn't matter). It is one of the worst things you can ever go through (lno less real than the death of a person) and I am really feeling your pain at such a terrible time. Our red cattle dog died on new year's eve one year and yes, devastating is the only word. The guilt is something that goes with pet owning. They are so dependent on us and it's so easy to feel that we could have done things differently. I don't know what to say. You have a lot to work through and it will be a really sad time. Just know that it is totally okay to grieve for your lost mate and it will take as long as it takes. Eventually you get old enough to accumulate a string of lost mates that you outlive and it doesn't get any easier. It is devastating so feel okay to miss him, just try not to blame yourself. It's also okay to get upset and not effect Blue. You need to let it out and babies are resilient as long as you are not causing a lot of stress, but healthy grief is okay. Be extra kind to yourself and know that we will be thinking of you.

    P.S, we all know only too well, that life is full of ups and downs, so don't feel bad to share when you need to talk most. I'm not in here often, but there are heaps of girls who will support you in here. xoxo

    Sammie: My sympathy goes to you, I know the feeling all to well as my 8 year old beloved cat died this year (the saturday night before Mother's Day). We also had no warning signs and had been out before it happened and within 10 minutes she was no longer with us. We also don't know what happened and I didn't want a vet to find out, so we found a special place in our garden to put her to rest and my DH searched for the perfect rose bush to plant over her (an unusual rose called Oranges & Lemon's as Shilo had very unusual marking) and we had flowers this spring - summer. It is nice to know that in some way she is still with us and I'm sure your beloved pet will be with you always as well.

    Sammiejam = I'm so sorry. I am a dog lover and know that it is no less than a family member's passing. I'm glad your pet didn't suffer a long illness. Thinking of you

    Hey Grub, Ashton is GORGEOUS!!!!!! You look so happy and settled being a mum.

    I had huge BFing issues as well and expressed frequently - 'heading to the farm to milk the cows'. Hang in there and good luck with it. It's a learning curve for both you and Ashton, so it's hard to get it right straight away.
