clairesmummy: So thrilled for you that everything went well with 12wk scan. Onwards and upwards!

Sunshine and stars: so glad you 'dropped by'. I have thought about you over the months and it's good to know you are moving forward as best you can. What a sweet legacy you and Obie gave the families of other babies with special needs with your gifts of breast milk and Obie's gift too. Glad to hear you are trying for a brother or sister for Obie. I hope your embies grow and flourish. Will look out for more news from you.

WBM: Those 'negative' feelings are soooo normal. I tried to tell myself that plenty of other people have healthy babies and there's no reason I can't be one of them... but you still have moments where the fear breaks through this sort of 'common sense'. It didn't feel real that i could have another baby until DD was here and even now i feel like i'm dreaming sometimes! Anyway, just wanted to say, 'I get it' and 'you can do it!'

Alish: Great to hear from you, welcome home! Sooo exciting! Hope you are not too sore... or heal quickly if you are. Good luck with feeding and sleep issues. The first few weeks are pretty tough in the sleep department but it does get better (i vaguely remember this through the sleep deprived haze i'm currently in!)

Loops: Great news that you saw the heartbeat. Sticky sticky vibes to you!

Angelfish: hope your DP, friends or family are helping you out and letting you rest sometimes. Hard to be pregnant with such a young baby.

AFM: Still stalking for more BA's eg Cheshire. Belly rubs to all! Enjoying my DD2. Cuddly koala with a lovely head of hair and chubby cheeks i can't stop smooching! Tired with ouchy nipples but otherwise good!
