Hi girls,

Well, I am officially cooked, just like Jo76. I simply cannot continue to go on, so i have decided to stay right under my aircon in the living room, until the heat passes. Just as well, there is a nice comfy couch under there...alright, enough of my blabing.

Jo76, congrats on becoming an aunty, that is very exciting! Don't approve of the ciggy after she's had the baby though....what is wrong with some women ???!!!

Laney, I'm always thinking and praying for you that all goes well, so best of luck for your next scan, you're going well!!

Dee, I'm thinking of you today on your due date, big hugs hun . Mine hasn't come yet, Joshua was due on 12 Feb. On the day, I'm planning a tiny ceremony with a priest to bless his ashes before they go into his plot at the memorial park, with a few family members there. We didn't have a service for him as it was just too much for me and I just couldn't handle it at the time. Then everyone started asking if we were going to do anything, and then I came up with the idea of a little service at the memorial park on his due date. I'm also planning to release some ballons and that's all I have so far. I want to write Josh a little poem to read as well. I'm lucky because I'll still be off work then so that's a good thing.

Diana, don't be too hard on yourself hun. It's OK to feel upset, jealous, angry, resentful, and not because she is having a baby, but because of the loss you have suffered and because you wish Sebastian was here. I often wonder what I will be like when one particular close friend of mine gets pregnant ahead of me, I don't know how I will handle it (she will be trying about the same time as me). I actually had a dream a few weeks ago that she was pregnant, and I was so upset, I told her that even though I am happy for her, I can't be too involved in her pregnancy because I've lost Joshua and it's too painful for me. I woke up from that dream in tears, and I wonder if that's really how i feel subconciously. I also think when someone so close to us gets pregnant (whether it's family or a close friend) , it is harder for us as we do to some extent get involved in their pregnancy (how can we not?), whether we want to or not. Just always remember, your time will come too, and there might be some other woman out there who is struggling to get pregnant and is jealous of you!! Sending you big hugs hun xx

Jo, hope you next scan is good, you're going so well hun!! Keep it up !

Hello to all the other lovely girls, hope everyone is well

Love
