Oh Lynn, you are the one who needs the big hug today
I am so proud of you for going into work, I know it was really hard, but you have to realise how much strength you have to take that step. It is great that they were so wonderful and understanding, and it must make you feel so loved. That is so sad that the guy at your work lost his bub. Its funny though, you would have never known that because its probably something they just dont talk about. He sounds like a really nice guy and his angel has shown him so much compassion towards others, just as our angels have shown us. Are you glad you went? Do you think it might be easier next time you go in?
On top of that you have to deal with your mum being away. Your poor mum, it would be hard having all that time to just sit and think (I think that is alot of my problem in the last week) about you and Cooper. But then with her away, I guess you also have more time to sit and think. I think it is wonderful that you have that sort of relationship with your mum that you can just have a cry with her, I tend to push my tears aside when people are around me. Unfortunately, we have many more tears to come. Between all of us girls here we could officially end the water shortage if we could save them all up!
About the movies, we are going to see Norbit tomorrow which has Eddie Murphy in it. It sounds kind of funny and I really think I need a good laugh. I have to admit there is not too much worth seeing at the moment I dont think. When do your tickets expire? I think there are few good ones due to come out in the next couple of months so it might be worth waiting. I havent seen Dreamgirls but my sister did and she said it was a musical but a really bad one, she said it was the worst movie she has seen and I always thought it was based on the Supremes and Diana Ross but she said it is not, it is a fictional movie. And worse still, my BIL was the one who actually wanted to see it and also hated it. I have heard that Miss Potter is pretty good. But on the other hand, I guess its a matter of opinion because a couple of people had recommended Notes on a Scandal but my mum, DH and I all thought it was crap. I know there is a Simpsons movie coming out soon, I love the Simpsons.
I really hope you feel a little better after having a cry with your mum and that your day improves, just know that I sending some anti-Kleenex vibes your way :hugs:

You have made me smile - thank you :hugs: The vibes you sent me are funny and so is us saving the water crisis! I just didn't think that I could cry any more, but they just keep on coming.
I'm doing ok - just pottering around the internet, I don't feel like doing anything else.
You are right. I don't think that the guy at work would have told me had lost a bub if I hadn't. He has 4 kids now with the youngest being 1 (I think). He said that he lost his bub between his first and second earth babies. I am glad that I went in. I thought I was ready but when I got there I wasn't. I guess I never would have been and like any of the things that we do for the first time, it is going to be hard. Yes I will go in again, just not sure when. 3 of the guys at work have just had babies (2 boys and 1 girl) and another girl is being induced tomorrow. Babies everywhere!!!! Just not here
Mmmmm, not sure about the movies then. I will have to see what is on. We were thinking of going this weekend.
I am glad I could help Unfortunately I think they will keep coming for along time, hopefully eventually not as often but I think there will be tears shed over our bubs for eternity.
I agree that the first of anything is hard, and partly I think its sort of like fear of the unknown. Next time you go in, whenever that may be, you probably wont be as nervous cause you know what to expect and you have already seen everyone. That is tough that a few people have had babies. It is so unfair, but I do have confidence that you will be going in there one day - although I dont know when - showing off your bub and introducing him/her as Cooper's baby bro/sis. And remember, it is march
I dont feel like doing anything but playing around on here either, and that is really bad for me cause I have LOTS of housework to do
I dont know if you like that type of movie, but I will let you know if Norbit is any good tomorrow
Yes you are right. The tears will never stop. I am confident too that I will be able to walk in there one day with my second bubba. March - the lucky month
I should really be folding the washing and doing the iron but can't be bothered at the moment. I have tennis tonight, hopefully if it doesn't rain. It seems to always rain on a Monday night.
Hope- Is the strongest pillar that protects the entire world
Mel: Nicholas's urn is just beautiful. I understand the mixed emotions that you are feeling but as you say on his website, he is home where he belongs. I hope you enjoy Norbit tomorrow. I think music and lyrics looks good. Have you seen it? Hope that you have a nice day. Oh and I am so sorry about Kenny, I know you loved him very much so don't feel guilty about calling him a freak. RIP Kenny.
Lynn: You are very brave for going back to work. You were meant to be taking Cooper with you today, but just remember that he was there with you anyway, making sure his mumma was ok. Can't wait to see you in the morning. Only 1 sleep now.
Bailey: I think a trip to Bali sounds very romantic, never mind the entourage, if they have any sense they can look after DS while you have some time Can I ask a stupid question? Is your DP (soon to be DH) a professional surfer? He seems to be surfing all the time so either he is living the dream or he does it for a living. I am thinking Patrick Swaze in Point Break.....
Dream: how is your Grandma going? I hope that everything is ok. Sending you big *be brave* vibes.
Flowerchild: Hey honey, hope all is well at your little slice of heaven. DH will be home soon won't he? Hopefully life calms down a bit then.
Well I am just trying to get myself ready for tomorrows scan. I am feeling positive but at the same time in the back of my mind I am thinking what if? I just have to be confident and positive. I can't wait to see lil Spring and share it with Aunty Lynn. I will email pics as soon as I get back if I can. Bailey I don't think I have your email address so if you have a 007 address let me know.
Big love to all
A very nervous but excited spring.
Mel - I am glad for you that you have your little guy home. I just so wish it was under different circimstances.His little urn is just beautiful. I know what you mean, glad to have them home, but sad. Both feelings can almost cancel the other out and leave you feeling nothing, if that makes sense. I saw your wedding pic's on Nicholas' site, you guys look good together. I love weddings, I just don't want to be in one I just want to go and do it quietly. I don't mind our group honeymoon, it's the kind of place that is good in a group anyway, plus we had booked our trip before our marriage!! I am sorry to hear about poor little Kenny, but I do admit to having a little laugh at the thought of you guy and your birds all watching the tv together. Have fun at the movies, I want to see Norbit, it looks stupid, but I love Eddie Murphy and will laugh at anything he does, even though it's dumb. Notes on a scandal sounds a little suss...think I'll avoid that one!
Lynn - Good on you for going into work. I think it's hard seeing people for the first time. I still haven't seen the girls from my old office face to face yet, cos I think it will be really hard too. It must be a relief to have done it though, and it is great that you have so much support from them. Isn't it amazing that once you lose a baby, so many other people come out and tell their stories as well? I guess people just don't talk about it. When DP went back to work after we lost Asha, 4 people he has worked with for years told him how it had happened to them or a close family member. He was shocked, we were still going through that whole thing where we thought we were the only ones.Though it is encourageing to hear that they all went on to have lot's of kids after, like your friend at work. I am sure you will be heading back in there in the not too distant future with your new baby. And I too have a feeling that March is going to be a lucky month for us all. I hope you get some baby germs tomorrow when you go with Spring!!
Spring - Woo hoo, scan tomorrow, and then telling the family. You must be nervous and excited. It's great you have Lynn to come along with you. How exciting! I am so jealous, but only in the good way of course! Ha ha, lol, DP wishes he was a pro-surfer. No, we just live near the beach so he surfs lot's and friends of his run a boat charter company in the Mentawai Islands in northern Indonesia, so he get's to go up there and spend a couple of weeks with his friends "bonding" on a boat. Patrick Swayze...that is hilarious, remember how cool that movie was way back when it came out? My brother and his friends went to a fancy dress party once dressed as the ex-presidents, they looked exactly like the ones in the movie...it was so funny, they busted into the party with toy guns and jumped on the tables and carried on etc. Stay positive for tomorrow. You told me you had no bad feelings with this little one, it is all good, and I was thinking, if your doctor lets Lil Spring meet you a little early, you are about a third of the way through now! Oh and if you wanna share some pics, Lynn has my email. I am so excited for you.
Dream - How is the family going? I hope you are well.
time 
everyone,
I just want to go and do it quietly. I don't mind our group honeymoon, it's the kind of place that is good in a group anyway, plus we had booked our trip before our marriage!! I am sorry to hear about poor little Kenny, but I do admit to having a little laugh at the thought of you guy and your birds all watching the tv together. Have fun at the movies, I want to see Norbit, it looks stupid, but I love Eddie Murphy and will laugh at anything he does, even though it's dumb. Notes on a scandal sounds a little suss...think I'll avoid that one!
to everyone!
