Jo - I hope the glucose test went well. How are you going anyway?
Kristy - getting a bfp doesn't have the same affect on us that it did before we lost our angels. We are all different but I know from most of us in the pg thread, it is an anxious time. For me, I am happy but not excited because I know that so many things can go wrong so I will leave the excitment until my bub is breathing and screaming in my arms. Unfortunately we have lost the innocence of pg.
Hi Nat, we posted at the same time. Yes my belly is growing! Aghhhhhh!!! Work was busy this week, I only did 2 days because I had the SIDS meeting on Wednesday. I love part-time Well it keeps me busy anyway. Hows the gym going?
Angelicdragon - I have just read Annabelles story and it is just so tragic, I am so sorry.
Where in tassie is Collinsvale? I have family in southern Tassie, in Geeveston and Kingston. Do you know these places? I love Tassie, it's so much fun, but I cannot imagine how cold it must be there at the moment, because we are just freezing here in Sydney.
Lynn - Are you growing too? I feel just so 'thick' in the middle. It's that weird in between thing, where you don't look pregnant, but you look big!! How is work going?
Tommysmum - How are you feeling? Hope you're better.
Spring - How are you doing? You won't need patches now, I am back, and you'll be sick of me.
Saph - WHEN you get your BFP, you will enjoy it. It is really scary and stressfull, I'll be honest, but you will still find joy in every little milestone that you reach, I promise.
Mel - How are you feeling today? I am crossing everything for you that Flo misses her flight and doesn't visit til next year.
Auntie M - I have said it before and I will say it again, if us lot cannot have a wallow everynow and then, then who is entitled to one? I hope you are feeling better.
Hello to everyone else too, I am still going back though all of the posts from the last week or so, it would help if you lot didn't all talk so much though ....I'll get there.
Hey Bailey Yep I know both places. Annabelle is buried down at Kingston with my mum. I write Angel names in the sand down at Kingston Beach. I go down about 3-4 times a year to write in new names then post them on the sand Angels pages, they are linked on the links page as well. Anyone wanting their Angels name written in the sand and on the page just let me know.
Our current weather is also on the links page lol. DH and my dad invested in a weather station with camera so it updates all the time with up to date pic and weather. It is currently 0.6C. Another frost tonight.
I am off to bed taking my tired cranky little boy.
hugs
Judy
ET I forgot, Collinsvale is north of Hobart but in behind Mt Wellington. We are only about 12km from the cadburys Chocolate factory.. we are directly up the hills from it lol. Tash goes to school about 2km from the factory.

: forgot to answer the question lol
Judy - Kingston beach is beautiful, it's such a cute little place, it's like a little country town but on the beach. I would love, love, love it if you could write my daughter's name in the sand there and take a pic next time you are there. Her name is Asha. Thankyou so much. Oh, the Cadbury factory, yum, I go there almost everytime I go to tas. My cousins boyfriend lives near there, in Claremont. When I am there, we go to this huge flea market somewhere near there, it's at a showground type of place, I love it. Sounds cold there, my god, we were there in August a couple of years ago, and there were 100kph winds from the south, and I have never been so cold. I couldn't stop shaking, and here is my little 10 year old cousin, out feeding the chooks with no shoes on, lol, I think he is used to it.
howdy everyone. thanks so much for the hugs from everyone. i'm starting to lift up out of my wallow. some days are just harder than others, but it means so much to me to have you all here to help me out.
Spring-i'll try that positive visualization -- it couldn't hurt. i'm going to try to not put so much into each cycle, too, if i can. that may be impossible, but keeping up with the hopes and despair may be impossible too.
Bailey- how affirming to see those arms & legs flying about! i can believe that scans must be difficult . . . my last one is painfully seared into memory. hugs.
Judy- af makes me mad too. i cried reading the poem, it does describe the dark days so well. some days i can see the rainbow, some days not. thanks for the hope. i looked at your page of Annabelle, she is lovely. your story sounds hauntingly familiar, i am so sorry. perhaps i'll work up my courage to look at our photos of Yeti. i'm afraid he will be different in the photos than in my memory. could you write Yeti's name in the sand too? what a wonderful thought to have his name go out with all of those other angel babies into the tide. now i'm crying again.
Mel- i visited your photos of Nicholas too, what a sweet boy and so peaceful. i'll try the visualization, and maybe i can get to believe it too. my mom told me yesterday she could see it, and it meant so much to me to hear it.
Kristy- Amy's page was beautiful. what a precious girl.
Nat- yeah, murial's wedding is a good one. makes me giggle. such a gift these days.
How is everyone?
Well I ended up not having the glucose challenge test yesterday, it was postponed till monday, so I have to fast all over again!
Otherwise I haven't been up to much, I have started a web page for Storm so if you want you can check it out (hopefully the link is in my profile) The page is still a work in progress though!
Kristy - What a beautiful little girl you have, she is just gorgeous I am sorry she didnt stay with you, but she will always be there in your heart and in spirit :hugs: She is so lovely I am in tears!
Jo - Bummer about having to postpone the test, I hate that stuff you have to drink so at least it spared you that though! Storm's page is just beautiful, I got teary over yours as well. I just dont understand why any of this crap has to happen, it is so unfair and I am sorry for every one of us
Deb - Hope you and Col are doing well. Thanks for you help! I am still pondering what to do.
Nat - Yeah sort of have a plan, waiting for AF to arrive then have to start the pill for a month. We have our IVF initial consult on 31st July so from there we will have more of an idea of where we go from here. They sent me an info pack which said the whole process takes about 6-7 weeks - which means 6 weeks time is going to be alot to handle emotionally. It will be Nicholas' 1st birthday and also IVF at that time! But we will do what we have to do. How are you handling the quiet with DS back at school? Relishing it? Or missing it? Its probably a catch 22 situation I guess. You want some quiet but then you miss them when they are gone.
Judy - Firstly can I say you live in like my dream land! Oh to live so close to a chocolate factory For some reason my ticker is out 1 day and yesterday was CD28 so AF was due today. No signs as yet but I am pretty sure she will be arriving on the door step any minute now, but oh well I have kind of gotten use to it
Aunty M - I am so glad to hear you have lifted a little, unfortunately there will be ups and downs, and ok and not so ok days for a very long time to come. But it does help to know there are people going through similar things, and who can be there to support each other. Good luck with the visualisation, I have days where I can be positive but others where all hope is lost - I think that is pretty normal though. Its part of grieving and loss
Hi to everyone else, Bailey, Lynn, Georgie (M.I.A.), and also there are some gals who havent been around for a while so I hope you are all doing ok too.
Dearest Jo and Kirsty. I have just visited Storms page and Amys page. So tiny and so perfect. I am so sorry you too have had to say goodbye to muh loved and so precious daughters.
Auntie M I will gladly write Yetis name in the sand along with Amys name and any others.
Having recently had a miscarriage, i am wondering if anyone has any ideas as to ways of honouring a miscarriage, i've heard of people letting go of balloons or making a scrapbook of scans and tests of their baby and even planting a tree. I want to find a way to aknowledge my 12 week pregnancy and baby and have something physical to remember, not just the memories and pain i feel in my heart.
Tamika
Im sorry Tamika I have never had a miscarriage so I cant help you with any ideas, although planting a tree sounds lovely. I know there are others here who have experienced what you have and I am sure they will offer some advice when they pop in.
Tamika: I am very sorry for your loss :hugs: I can understand you wish to do something to honour your baby. Did you name your bub? If not perhaps you could give bub a name and get a pendant or something with the name engraved. It doesn't have to be a boy/girl name, it can simply be something with a special meaning to you. Some of the other ladies in here have candles that they light for the babies. That is also a really nice idea.
Hi to everyone else. DH's plane is delayed so still waiting for him to get home. Expect him about 8pm so not too long, hence I'm still stalking BB
I lost Blaise to a miscarriage, and I honoured him (I think it was a boy) by giving him a name, a place in our family... We are building a new house soon and I will also be making an angel garden for both of my angels.
morning ladies, sorry no personals from me, just too grumpy and abusive for anything worthwhile at the moment. going to be in the wings reading but not posting until i get over this mood, as i don't think i can be too supportive in this frame of mind. hope you are all doing well or at least the best you can, take care.
Well it keeps me busy anyway. Hows the gym going?
