I think my mum might be keeping us company at the moment...

My mum died just over 6 years ago when I was 23. I've never really had any experiences (for want of a better word) with her, but I know that when she was ill she made a point of writing in her journal that she didn't want to burden us with that kind of thing because she had had a lot of trouble moving on after her first husband died and kept visiting her. In the past I have had experiences with other lost souls and a couple of other psychic type experiences.

Anyway, I think that my mum (or maybe my grandma) is around at the moment. The reason being is that when I am in DS's room with him and giving him his pre-bed cuddle his face will quite often light up with a huge smile as if someone has made a face at him or just walked in the room. A few times I have actually spun round to see who is there. He's definately not looking at anything in particular (or at least nothing I can see), so I am thinking it is likely to be my mum. My sister was pregnant with her first child when she died and know she dearly wanted to be a grandma. I imagine that she is very happy to see that DH and I have also had a child and wants to be part of his life and engage with him in some way.

Has anyone else had experiences where they have thought their baby is able to see someone that they can't?

I got goosebumps reading that. :hug:

My experience is that with Nina, when she was a baby she would look up to the corner in her room and just smile. It was the same corner, and there was nothing there. But everytime she was in the room, she'd do it. I don't know why/who it was, but it was something/someone that made her happy and content.

.... me too Jodi i got goosebumps and it also bought back some lovely memories ... when DD was only a few weeks old right up until she was about i think 4 or 6mths old (sorry can't remember timing exactly) but each and ever time i would change her on her change table to would look mid air to the left of her ... now there was no mobile, no toy or picture, no nothing there ... I would even feel silly and put my head where her head was to see what she was looking at & she would still be smiling away & her face so light up, and she would even kick away with such joy ... and i couldn't see a darn thing.

DP & i both agreed it was something or someone clearly making her very happy :D
