S&S - I had been thinking about you and Obie and hoping for news, but praying it wouldn't be this news. You will always be Obie's Mom and you will always feel like a Mom because you had a child you loved so dearly. I can't think of anything that would help to ease your suffering but please know that Obie's life touched other people who never even had a chance to meet him and he will never be forgotten.
Ferrals- So happy for your family that the Zantac has worked so quickly on little Ella
MrsS- Sometimes men find it much harder to talk about things that make them feel like crying as many were brought up with "men don't cry" so maybe when he is having a bit of a vulnerable day, you could up your lost babies. Even men sometimes need a good cry and it sounds like it could do you both some good.
Forshelby- Thanks
Tegam- Glad I could give you a good laugh
S&S- I think a group hug is called for we will always be here to support each other in good times and in bad. Please never again feel you have to hide yourself away because of how someone will react to what has happened. Again

S&S I can't imagine your pain You will always be your beautiful Obed's Mummy. He will always be watching over you and thankful for the love he is given, while he was earthside and forever.
Mrs S - this is a great group! As someone (I have a shocking memory) said, there are gorgeous gals in here who have been through similar things - I can't even imagine being pregnant with twins! That has its own stress elements - go you amazing woman!
Cheezel - I am so happy about your positive scan, every scan for me has put more hope in my heart - can't wait for the next one!
Cheezel- Yays I got your EDD right I just went back to update it but it is already down as the 12th hehe. Congrats on the good scan. When my m/s was at it's peak, I had to take maxi(something-or-other) it is the same stuff you take when you want to increase your breastmilk lol. Gotta love multiuse drugs It didn't work all the time but there was improvement
I dont know how i got here again but i just got a BFP i took a at home test and the line is very light...... I am happy but my bf said if i truely am that i should get rid of the baby not in a million years i will get rid of him frist
Oh Angelfish, congrats hun I was the same, once it was confirmed and scan went well, DP (now XDP) went nuts and threatened to get rid of nun so I got rid of him Hope yours comes around but yays
Hello, everyone--
Thank you your condolences and prayers. While Obed was still living, a professional volunteer photographer took photos of Obie-- they are on a special website run by the organization "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep." If anyone is interested in seeing the photos, I would be happy to share the link and password. Just send me a private message and I will send the link. Also, if you are interested in seeing what I shared as far as my remarks at our son's memorial, then let me know. I can send them too.
It is our hope that some greater good can come from our son's living and dying.
Thank you again for your postings. I will follow along, as I am able. And please know that I send my best wishes to all of you.
Angelfish - after so many angels I can only imagine your reaction to being told to create another angel! for you, if that line continues to get darker, bubs was obviously meant to be! Two of my friends have a 12 and 13 month gap between their gorgeous children, they're loving it!

OMG I have had the bestest week of my life!!!
My labour experience was absolutely amazing! It hurt like bloody hell but i got thru it.. somehow!
Just a quick version, last thursday dh got home from being away, HE decided it was time to have this baby so we thought we wld try a natural induction method... lots of sex! We dtd twice friday arvo/night, during the night i started getting regular tightenings but managed to sleep quite contently, i was just aware they were coming every 15 or so mins. Woke up the next morning, dtd again, baked some scones and went to my mums for the day. Was getting regular tightenings, about every 6 mins apart, but was fully in denial that i was actually in labour! I really thought this was just all part of the prelabour things that i had been hearing about and that it wld last atleast the next couple weeks. By 5pm that arvo, the contractions had started stopping me in my tracks but i still honestly thought they wld just die off. By 9pm i was in pain. The contractions were coming every few mins but i cldnt be bothered timing them so wasnt sure if they were really classed as regular. I called the hospital letting them know i was having pains but that it was probably nothing... i was so certain that my pain threshold was really low compared to someone elses! They said to try and stick it out at home if i really didnt think i was in labour and to start timing them. I then called my whole family looking for some panadeine forte.. i was hoping to knock myself out for the night and see what was happening in the morning. No-one in my family had any panadeine forte so i had a couple back and neck panadols that dh had. They didnt seem to do anything but i put it down to the fact that they were just the wrong sort.. not that i was actually getting very painful contractions!!!
Come 11pm i was a shivering shaking crippled over mess. I called the hospital again and asked them if i cld come in for monitoring, i apologised a billion times that i cld be wasting their time but i really just needed to know what was going on.
To cut a long story short, i went to the hospital at 12am, found out i was getting contractions every 1.5 mins and that i was 4cm dilated! The midwife said that it wld probably take 6-8 hrs to become fully dilated. For the next 3 hrs all i was thinking about was getting an epidural. The fantastic midwife seemed to keep prolonging it tho. I somehow got to 3am without taking anything.. not even gas, i tried for 5 secs but threw it away cos it did NOTHING!! By the time i got my next internal i was begging for an epidural, i really dont think i cld have taken much more!! I got the hugest surprise tho when the midwife said 'ur about to have ur baby!' I didnt believe her! I dont think she believed it herself! 15 mins later our beautiful little girl was born!!
I am going to write a proper birth story one of these days so i will add a lot more details but i just wanted to fill u in on all the basic details now!
The craziest thing is.. i feel so upset and ripped off that she came early. All i ever wanted during the pregnancy was to have her a couple weeks early just so i cld have her here safely but it was only the day before she was born i was telling everyone that i wasnt ready to not be pregnant anymore.. i honestly thought i still had 2-3 weeks left of being pg. I was loving it all way too much! I was still waiting to get the waddle, get a weird craving, for my tummy to fully pop out, to get swollen fingers and feet, to yell out 'oh my god get this baby out of me!!!' But it all never came. I am so sad that i never got to say goodbye to my tummy I have got the most beautiful little girl ever and i LOVE the fact that she is here safely but i also want to be pregnant with her still. I have even shed a few tears over it. Yep im weird!!
Anyway i better go, things are a bit crazy here.. but u know what?! it has nothing to do with the fact that we have a new baby its cos dhs family are all here..thats 6 adults and 7 kids! Our little girl has been perfect. I have been managing on 3-4 hrs sleep each night but feel great!! I cant even sleep during the day cos im on such a high still! She is feeding and sleeping really really well. I cldnt have gotten thru the last week so easily without my dh tho. He is waking up for every feed and nappy change. And get this! Until yesterday i hadnt even changed a nappy! Dh had done every single one. When i did finally do my first one yesterday an hour later i was covered in wee cos i didnt pull it far enough over on her!! haha. I definitely need some practise!
Anyway really better go! I hope its not too long til im back on here! Next week will be a whole lot less crazy once everyone has gone.
Oh one last thing.. our beautiful little girls name is Sienna Rose... Oh and i cant believe she is a she! We so thought it was going to be a boy! We only just painted the room boys colours! haha lucky we have prettied it up so its quite girlish now
