Michelle, I read the piece from the paper with tears in my eyes. :hug: Thinking of you as always.

BW

I have just read the beautiful words in the thread introduction and I thank you :grouphug: We will survive (I hope) - just one step at a time.

Oh Michelle that article in the Teleraph is a testament to how amazing Greg was, Im in tears. You should be so proud knowing how much so many people in the world are devestated by his loss; its a true indication of the kind of person he was. Even people who hardly knew him :hug:

Michelle, I will look it up. Thank you for thinking of us through your grief :hug:

We're home, well and relieved :). D has been a superstar, he slept through the whole thing, even though he'd been fasting! We elected for him to have a spinal, rather than a GA, but the recovery nurse thought he'd had the GA because he was so fast asleep! It wasn't til she checked his notes again after awhile that she realised he'd had a spinal LOL. What a good little boy :D. He is soooo beautiful, I feel like I'm bonding with him so well these days. Thanks for all your kind wishes and support, it really does help :grouphug:

JANIE _ So glad that Baby Daniel did so well with his little op - what a load off! I'm so glad he is home. You sould really relieved too - which is fab as well.

BEK _ How are you doing?

WILLOW _ Did you end up talking to V about Nanna? She is the same age as Jess isn't she? I don't know, Nanna is so very old & tired & she needs to go to heaven to rest?? I had to take mine to a funeral in January so I glossed it over as much as I can. I told her the coffin was a special postage box for the angels to post our uncle to heaven. She was 'ok' with that, but then again, she didn't know this uncle really well, where obviously she does know your Nan really well? My thoughts are with you & you will tell her the most appropriate story.

MICHELLE _ How do you feel with your parents gone? The little road trip sounds like it could be ok, will get the kids out & about & also yourself?? You might be solo in person, but not in spirit darl, every single one of us is with you, as well as Greg. Can any of the Sydney girls accompany Michelle???

LISA _WTG on the 6 hour sleepy stint! Awesome!

MAKO _ How are you sweet?

BUN _ Was so awesome to meet you! Joshua is just so scrumptious! I soooooooooo loved my snuggles with him & secretly I'm pretty sure he liked me too! Catherine is so adorable, that cheeky little grin is going to help getting her out of lots of trouble! LOL I trust you had a safe & enjoyable flight home! Oh & I picked up some cute jeans at Myer for Curly for $21! Bargain!

Freya, Spring, Bonham, BW & everybody else, massive hugs & hello.

Love Jayne xx

Jayne - the car trip is only short stints that I can do ok. The trip to the park today was a bad choice. My pelvis is so sore after doing a little too much last night :redface: and there were too many Daddies and their babies playing :( Even worse, I took them to the park that Greg used to always take them to. Poor monkeys had to deal with a blubbering Mummy who realised that she might think she is ok but in reality she isn't.

There is an ache that I just can't ease and it hurts so much. I am sore, uncomfortable, feeling very alone and so incredibly sad. I miss his cuddles, his voice, his teasing. I just miss him and I hate that I will never get to hold him or talk to him ever again.

I'm so sorry to dump this. I think I need to journal instead ..............

Oh Michelle - I'm just so glad that you have us here and can't imagine what you're going through... now that everyone's life starts to go on again... nowhere near the same thing but that's the part I found the hardest when I lost my Dad. We're all with you through this hun. Massive hugs for you and the kids.

Jayne - Will have to organise a catch up.. probably for the second week I'm there... starting the 10th May.. so let me know when you're free!!!

Janie - Sooo glad all went well with D.. what a trooper and VERY much looking forward to catching up next week.. before I head off.

Mako - How are you going?

Sorry guys, don't have the energy for any more personals.. I'm still sooo tired and not feeling too good.. just nausious all day long.. it's amazing.. I've never experienced anything like it.. but I'm trying to enjoy every minute of it and appreciate how lucky I am... this is definitely my last pg and it's a very weird feeling so trying to take it all in!!

Really looking forward to heading back to Perth next week too.

Kel xxx

Michelle - dont be sorry honey - this is whats hapenning in your world right now and we want you to use this thread as a release, its a parenting and friendship thread and I speak for all of us when I say its ok to dump in here.. The fact you had the strength to take them there is amazing - but you know Greg would want you to take the kids to his park and now you have done it once the next time wont be so bad :hug: I know you miss him, and its ok to ache for him - I bet it hurts like hell, but soon this day will pass and tomorrow will bring fresh hope, hope in the smiles of your two earth side angels and thier baby brother George xx

Janie - little D is a real trooper - must get it from his mum! Glad he is home and well xx

Gotta go BF the little beauty xx

MICHELLE _ Honestly, I'm sure I speak for everybody here, but we want to be able to listen to IT ALL! That is what we are here for, we are hear to listen, to cry with you, to try to understand what you are going through & be of assistance to you in whichever way we can. We are here for the long haul, not just for the coming few weeks, but in months, years & decades to come. We are here to cheer you through George's arrival, Oscar starting school, Lily becoming a big sister, the works. So don't feel as though you are saying too much or that you need to journal anything to 'spare' us of anything. I know you have stack of IRL friends & of course family to help you through, but I think of us all in here as a 'special family'. I think we are a wonderful group of loving women who would bend over backwards to help each other out. So please, don't hold back, we're here for you. I'm here for you.

KELLY _ Sorry you're still so ill, but it's a really good sign though. I just hope it eases soon for you. YES! I would not let you visit Perth & not see me! You tell me what days are best for you & we can figure something out. I just work Monday & Wednesdays.

I hope you all have a reflective Anzac Day tomorrow.

Love Jayne

Michelle - Please come in here and tell us how it is for you. My heart breaks for you and I wish I could come over and give you a real hug.

Jayne - Thanks for asking how we are. Eva's sleep is still the same but for now it is easier for me to just with the flow. I tried not offering boob and other settling methods but she ends up so upset and she just won't go down. I did 3 nights in a row of not giving her boob to re-settle and she was up for 3 hours each night. So I threw my arms up in the air and went back to feeding her to sleep. I must say though that she did do 2 times 5 hour stretches last week. I am glad you had an awesome holiday.

Willow - Been thinking about you over the weekend.

Hi all. Hugs everyone

Hi sorry I haven't been around for a few days. We went away camping for the weekend and omg it was freezing lol. Sage had a great time playing and getting dirty as kids do :lol:

Michelle PLEASE come in here and vent or "talk" about what you are going through. Each and every one of us is here to support you as you travel through each day. I'd like to come and visit you soon too so I can give you some of these :hug: IRL. Also good on you for taking that massive step of taking the kids to the park. I'm sure they loved going and will remember all the times their Daddy took them there and will now get to create some new memories of going with Mummy.
I also agree with everything Jayne has said ;)

Janie What a little trooper baby D is. I'm pleased his op went well and he's now home again with you :hug:

Willow How was your weekend? Thanks for the email too ;)

As for us well DH is pushing for no more babies and I'm struggling with that idea in a huge way. I feel like I'm being punished for all my m/c's and it sucks :crying: I told him to wait until I see my Ob in a couple of weeks as I just can't give up my dream. I'd always wanted 4 kids but DH only ever wanted 2 so I agreed on that but I just feel a bit ripped off if he continues pushing for us to stop now. If there is something else out there that is simple and will help us have another healthy bub then I want to try that just once. I NEED to have that chance. As for the bleeding well I've put that down as af. It hung around for 8 days so I wasn't too impressed about it but I can't change it. So I had a 26 day cycle after d&c. Totally different to my previous 35 day cycles but who knows what my silly body is up to now.

Hi to everyone. I'll try to catch up on all your posts soon.

Mako - :hug: I totally understand how it feels to have your DH say 'no more'. I totally understand the 'ripped off' feeling. DH said the same thing did after L was born. And I absolutely know it's not the same because I already had 2 healthy children, but it still hurt. It became like a constant ache in my gut. I remember going out and more and more I would start to look at other mums with lots of kids or families together and I just didn't feel like our family was complete. Two didn't seem like 'my' family. I understand where he is coming from after everything you have both been through, but perhaps it's time to put your foot down and let him know exactly how you feel and that there is more than just him involved in this decision? If things hadn't worked out the way they did for us with our little 'Boo' coming along, I think we would of needed some sort of counselling to try and reach a place together that we were both happy with. I'm sure he's just scared and tired of it all and doesn't want to go through it all again and most importantly, he doesn't want to see you have your heart broken again. It's a tough situation. I'm here any time you need to talk.

My weekend was fine. DD had a sleep over with my mum at my Nan's place (I'm getting good with this sleepover business huh?? LOL) and then I went down on Sunday and met them at the hospital and spent some time with my Nan. She was having a good day :) My mum is struggling with the idea of her not coming home and after seeing her on the weekend, I sort of get that now. She seems like she would be OK at home :dunno: But that may just be because she's in the hospital and is getting the care she needs and her pain is managed etc. I don't know, it's hard. Her memory is not the best at the moment. One day she knows she is not coming home, the next she is asking when she'll be going home :( She forgot my mum's name the other day and got my boys names mixed up too :(

Deb - I've noticed you haven't been around and am hoping everything is OK with you and the children :hug:

Hi Ladies, sorry i havent been posting much. Sometimes i just dont know what to say.

:hug: Michelle

:hug: Willow

%$@%& - got the print out from my last U/S today and now I know why I need the scan next week. Uterine artery resistance is at the end of the chart left side and way, way off the chart on the right side :wall: So now, on top of everything, we get to stress about growth and progress for a little bit longer. Can the Universe back off for a little while :pray: I can't take much more of this :(

Oh Michelle... massive hugs. I'm not entirely sure what all that means but you certainly don't need any more stress or worry right now. I wish there was more I could say... it all just sucks right now.

Willow - Hugs.

Jayne - Will message you or give you a call when we get to Perth to organise a catch up!! Yay.

Mako - Hugs for you too. I hope DH comes around, maybe just give him a little bit of time then sit down and have a good heart to heart about it. He's got to understand where you're coming from too. Good luck hun.

Janie - Was soooo great to see you today, D is just so adorable and N was such a good boy!! Hope he has a fantastic birthday tomorrow!!

AFM - All going well. Had to get maternity pants already as this tummy is getting a little out of control.. which is really quite nice! I still can't believe it's all happening. Anyway we're off to Perth tomorrow for three weeks, so might not be around too much... but will be thinking of you all.

Take care.

Kel xxx

$%@*# is right Michelle :( Do you have someone to go with you to your scan? I would love to accompany you if you want someone along for the ride!

Michelle - :comfort: I'm so sorry you've got this added worry. What would be the plan if things aren't as great as they should be? Closer monitoring of growth and flows etc?

Are you with your family?

:hug: Michelle. I'll keep :pray: that the universe backs off and leaves you alone. You have endured way too much already and certainly don't need anything else to worry about. I hope you have someone to hold your hand IRL for the scan. I'll be holding your hand from afar :hug:

Kelly Have a great time in Perth. What did you end up doing with your puppy dog? Is he going with you?

Girls I need your help :redface: My charming little boy has decided its fun to say the 4 letter "F" word. He says it if he's stuck as he hasn't got the hang of "st" and a truck is a fruck but today he sat on the lounge beside me and says "hey mum f**k" and he said it quite a few times this afternoon :redface: I just ignored him most times but if he said it in context I changed it to "oh dear" or "bugger". I know the latter isn't great either but its better than the word he is using atm.
So I guess I'm asking you all what you have done or will do in this situation :redface:

Mako - :lol: I'm sorry, it's not funny and when DD did it I actually cried. It's funny when someone else's kid does it but not yours! She heard a friend of mine say "oh for f*** sake' so that's what she was saying. In context. Regularly. Honestly, I tried everything. Telling her it was a rude word, telling her not to say it, trying to replace it with other words. The only thing that worked in the end was to ignore it plain and simple. Not react at all when she said it. It was hard but bless her she never said it in public, only at home so I avoided that embarrassment. After a week or so she completely forgot about it and has never said it since.

Michelle - oh man. I hope you've got someone to go with you to your scan.

Mako - :lol: Yep we've had this issue too. I found the best way is to ignore it too. Although with other choice words that she decided to adopt we did teach her a substitute. So in stead of her saying "oh God" she says "golly gosh"!! She did hear my mother say FandH at one point and she started using it a bit. My DH simply told her that she was supposed to say Fudge and Ice-cream instead :redface: She learnt most of her words from one weekend visit to my mother's house, needless to say we don't go there often.

Kel - Good to hear all is well.

I went to the MCHN today. Miss Eva is 7.8kgs and 72cm. We had a good talk about her sleeping issues. We've got a plan and if this doesn't work, well be off to sleep school.

Janie - Happy Birthday to Nicholas tomorrow.

Deb - I hope you are ok

Best go. We've all got sore throats and snotty noses here

Bek - :comfort: I have been wondering how you're holding up. I hope the plan works. But if you do end up going to sleep school, take heart. It is haaaard but it seriously was the only thing that worked here and truly saved my sanity when I'd hit rock bottom. It made an immediate, drastic and permanent change to L's sleep patterns.

Hi girls,

It's been a bit quiet in here, I think we are all 're-grouping' after a fairly heavy and heartbreaking period. Michelle, honestly hon, little Omar is growing (you can tell by your sore pelvis), I pray he continues to thrive and all is okay. I know you need anything extra to worry about like a hole in the head, just keep going one day at a time hon - is your besty going to the scan with you, or do you want to go alone? You know we are all in the background cheering you on, closer and closer to Omar's birth (sorry George, Omar just keep slipping out). Omar/George is a most precious piece of Greg and Greg's spirit coming right back at you, he's one special little man, so he has to be okay.

I'm way too tired to write too much tonight girls, recovering a bit from a month of visitors - but my Dad and big brother just had a weekend here for Flynn's Christening, and it was FANTASTIC to be with them, they were so helpful, and I laughed a lot all weekend, something I have not done enough of lately........

So when are we all off to Tahiti?????????????

Lee xox

Lee, sounds like you had a great weekend. :)

mako, we and are having the same sort of issue. I was told when I first had a positive hpt that this was the last time for him. It didn't matter how this pregnancy turns out, no more. It has added a lot of stress to the pregnancy so far. I also feel like I am being punished for my losses. I have told him that it is not a closed issue for me but that I do not want to talk like that right now. I feel like it has made me a bit distant. I know how lucky I am to have Grayson but I have always wanted more. :hug:

michelle, My high risk OB would never do the resistance test for me when I was pregnant with Grayson. He said that if the growth was spot on there was no need. There can be high resistance and even reversed flow in a "normal" pregnancy. I have my fingeres crossed for a nice big healthy Omar next week.

Kelly, have a great vacation.

Hugs all around ladies, especially for our beautiful Michelle :grouphug:

Sorry, FAK, back later.........

:happybirthday: Nicholas and happy birthing day Janie. I can't believe our little ones are turning 3 this year. Where on earth has the time gone :o

Laney Look at your ticker flying by hun. I hope you are doing really well albeit the added stress you mentioned :hug:

Michelle did you end up going away for a few days? If so I hope you are having a safe trip and I'll try and come see you when I get a day off :hug:

Willow How's your Nan doing? Did you end up finding a book for DD or have you just had a little talk with her? How are your boys doing? Has DS1's head healed now?

Lee I just had a little look at your latest pics on FB and I have to say what a lovely family you have. Your kids are adorable :)

Feeling rather low today. 5 weeks ago today I said goodbye to my tiny angel #5 and I'm having a tough day of it today. Sooooooooooo many mum's came into work today who are either pregnant or have just had a baby in the last month while I was off and as cute as they are and as happy I am for them all its just like being kicked in the gut :(
Ok thats enough from me. I need to get my happy face back on before a visitor arrives to pick up some stuff.

Mako - :comfort: My nan is doing OK, thanks for asking. I'm going to see her again tomorrow. Haven't had the talk with DD yet. I want to go over it with my mum first.

Just wanted to pop in and give everyone a :grouphug: I know a lot of us are doing it tough atm.

HI Ladies,

I have been MIA as the phone lines in our area have been damaged & it took 4 days to repair. I'm such a ditz though & my home phone has been a bit 'special' of late, so I thought my phone had crapped itself. Went out, got new phone, plugged in & still not working....... finally realised was phone LINE not phone. Whoops! Alan doesn't know that it was the line, just the phone ;)

MAKO _ I can 'sorta' understand where DH is coming from, but I also understand you have 'unfinished business' in the baby world, similar to what Willow was saying about Boo & I really think that the pair of you need to sit down & properly communicate your thoughts & wants to really put the two of you on the same page. I know it's completely easier said than done though, so in the meantime I'm sending you tonnes of love.

WILLOW _ Glad your Nan is having some good days, that's really great news.

JANIE _ Happy Birthday Master Nicholas, can you believe 3 years have gone by?? I hope the day was fabulous!

LEE _ We are going to Tahiti??? :dance:

Big hello's to everybody. It's late here & I should be in bed. But sleep & I are just not friends atm....... I just lie awake for hours upon hours upon hours. I don't know why? I'm off to go read the newspaper & try for some sleep.

Love Jayne x

I am sorry I haven't been in. I have only just been holding it together & I needed to step back for a little time & really be around for my kids. I think my son is depressed - he won't let me out of his sight. Won't play AFL (he LOVES it), doesn't want to go to school, friends houses... He is worrying me. They are all seeing a psychologist and tht is great for then to be able to talk with another adult.

I haven't seen or heard from Ruby and the FWOTY still won't give me any information. He has been served his court papers & the date for the first return is the 31st of this month. So 30 days time. But who's counting hey!

They haven't seen their Dad since the 2nd of April. He's reduced his taxable income. He won't pay a cent towards the mortgage and it's now in arrears... Life is hard here right now.

Michelle sweetheart I hope you received my messages - please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I will try and reach you over the weekend again. I too read all the lovely messages and articles - he was much loved by so many - & I know your heart breaks all over again when a time like the park etc occurs. Just know you are loved so much :hug:

Janie I am glad all went well with the op - he is such a beautiful baby! :hug:

Willow - thinking of your Nan & you. :hug:

Mako - I hope you are feeling better soon.

Deb -WOW what a tough time. I do think of you often :hug:

Best go, luv to all

Oh Deb, please know that I'm also thinking of you. Words escape me & there is nothing I can say nor do to help, so I just hope that you know I'm thinking of you....

MICHELLE _ Are you in Orange honey?

Oops, forgot to add, LANEY _ am loving your ticker!

Jayne - I'm even further west ;)

Finding it all very tough and worried about Thursday but at this stage I can still only take it one minute at a time. I physically ache with how much I miss Greg. I am tired, sore and emotionally stretched. I have family and support but it isn't Greg and the reality of this is increasingly horrible despite my beautiful babies who continue to make me smile.

Deb - thinking of you and wishing things were so different for you too.

Sending much love to my very special bunch of ladies. You keep me sane in this otherwise insane moment :grouphug:

MICHELLE _ Maybe you can keep nudging to the west until you are in Perth??? :lol:

Im back on line - internet/phone/email were all off line for nearly a week! Just getting DD ready for childcare BBL to post properly.

Morning girls,

I'm so busy atm I barely have time to SIT at the 'puter.... am still struggling a bit, but have my appointment with the health nurse/pnd lady on Wednesday, so see what eventuates there. DH has started long service leave today, so am hoping that things will improve on many fronts....

Of course, this all pales when I think of you Michelle. As you reality keeps hitting, it's so crappy........ will give you a call Thursday hopefully when you are home. I hope you got a bit of time out while away............

Got to take DD to swimming now, hi to everyone!!

Lee xo

Hi all. Once again, sorry for not posting in so long. My MIL has left now so I have some time to get online again. Sounds like we all need a big big :hug: right now, and I think we all deserve a trip to Tahiti!!

Jayne - It was so lovely to meet you and Claudia - she is such a cutey! Sorry again that Catherine was being a bit of a PITA. Now that we are back home she has been getting some tough love and is getting back to normal... at least until the next time we visit Nanny and she gets spoilt rotten again!! I have just been looking at your holiday pics - wow! The girls must have loved getting the photos with Cinderella etc, that's every little girl's dream!

Michelle - thinking of you constantly hun. I know that doesn't help much, but I am feeling very helpless from here. I can't believe the run you are having re the scan results. Will be thinking of you on Thurs and praying for good results.

Bek - good luck with the new sleep tactics. I hope they work, but if not, it sounds like a lot of people have had success with sleep school. I just hope you start to get some more sleep soon as I remember how difficult I found DD for the first year or so of her life when she never slept - it really does drive you crazy, and I can only imagine how much harder it must be with two other girls to look after as well.

kelly - glad to hear all is well :)

mako - how are things going with your DH re trying again? When is your OB appointment? It is soon now I think. Hopefully you will get some answers or at least a plan. Keep talking to DH - this is a decision that needs to be made by both of you and he needs to understand how important it is to you. I hope you can get through to him :hug:

Lee - :hug: for you too hun. Sounds like you have had a rotten time lately. I hope your appointment goes well.

Deb - your XDH never ceases to amaze me. It must be so hard for you right now. And your poor DS - he definitely doesn't sound like his normal self. I hope the psychologist is helping.

Janie - I hope Nicholas had a wonderful third birthday :)

We are going well - just the usual really. DD is finally in a big girl bed which I am stoked about, so DS is now in the cot and I have been busy decorating their rooms which I love! DD sleeps through the night sometimes these days and DS is usually up twice a night, but is difficult to get back down after his second night feed. He is growing soooo fast I can hardly believe it. He has his 4 month check next week and I can't wait to find out how heavy he is now.

Does anyone have any tips on which cars can fit three car seats? We are thinking of getting a new car but have no idea where to start. I drive a Forester right now and the back seat is almost entirely taken up with two car seats so we figure we may as well get one that will accommodate three car seats as we would like to have another bubba at some stage (not for a while yet though!).

BUN _ Darl, there is no stress, Catherine wasn't a PITA!!! LOL. Don't worry bout a thing. Curly was very angelic that day, but trust me, she can be a horror when she puts her mind to it. I was relieved she was on her best behaviour though. I was so glad to have met you as well! I sure am racking up the 'meeting BB girls IRL' thing! Glad you're home & settled & that Catherine has gone into the big girls bed! What a big achievement. How are all the new clothes from Myer as well?? :lol:

LEE _ I'm glad that you are seeing somebody on Wednesday & also glad that DH is on leave to help take the load off. Can you talk to him openly about the things you are having problems with? Does he understand that you need some extra help or do you have to continually ask him for it? Sometimes it's just so much easier when they just use their initiative isn't it? Does that make sense? I really hope things improve for you darl. :hugs:

LISA _ Can't wait to hear all the Natalya updates!!!

AFM _ Well I went back to work today. Blah blah blah. It actually wasn't too bad I must admit, will be even better when the pay rocks in next week though! I have just itchy feet though! I'm dying to get back out in the big wide world & explore it some more! I think I caught a bug when I was away - the travel variety!!! PMSL.

Well I have to leave it there, I have a rat bag getting out of bed tonight. What is with that? :rolleyes:

Sorry for being MIA girls. Between DH being away for a month, sickness, a broken computer and Mr B feeding 2hourly I've been slack.

Michelle: waterfalls of cuddles for you gorgeous. This is your safe place so please don't feel that you need to sugarcoat anything for us.

Jayne: looks like you guys had a sensational time. So where next?

Bek: hope the sleep improves at your place. It's bloody hard work.

Deb: totally understand the need to focus on your kids. Here for you.

Mako: I hope DS is feeling better. I saw on FB that he was sick.

Bun: we are looking at 3 seat cars also. DH flat out refuses to drive a van so it looks like a 4wd is our only option.

Willow: how is your Nan doing? I hope sleep improves at your place soon.

Freya: the sewing looked great Hun. Has sickness finally left your boys alone for a while?

Janie: is D back to 100% after his op? Hope the feeding issues are settling.

Lee: the photos of Your boy's christening are just sooooo gorgeous. I hope your appointment goes well hun.

Hi to everyone else

Well we are going well. Just tired but in the scheme of things it's no biggy. B is just feeding feeding feeding. He was weighed today and is 7.84kgs at 4 months :o just trying to get him to go longer than 2 hours at night. This too shall pass. We went out of dinner the other night and Mum and Dad babysat and B took a zippy cup of EBM no worries. It was so nice to have some time off.

Love Spring
