    Snuggle up spring - i am hogging the heater (whilst drying clothes over it) - i just can't believe how cold it is. DD runs around in a pair of undies and doesn't feel it -she just keeps stripping when i put some clothes on her!!!

    Klee - happy birthday honey - hope you had a lovely day.

    Mel - i think a kitten would be perfect - they are soooo cute and cuddly - i actually think i would smother one to death by kissing it too much. I love kittens but am allergic too. I am glad BB exists and that we have the opportunity to network like this too. I have heard of so many stillborns occuring in the last few months in my area and i just wonder how these people are coping and what they do for support. I bet only a small percentage come online and chat. Hope you are doing fine - and ok (from the other day) i change my prediction to "9 months" for you to have your baby. Is that better and if so you better put out more girl. LOL
    Also - i am glad you wen to the S&K meeting - they are only once a month but i find them useful and i look forward to each one (we have ours next week)...

    Hello to everyone else - hope you are doing well

    Dream - how are you love ? All is well here - just very busy with house extension/renovations etc. I think i might be able to catch up now (will check the thread and see where we are at with dates etc). Hope you are well.

    Where is everybody? Is it just to cold?

    Spring - Lunch was a GREAT distraction we sat right under the gas heater and stuffed our faces, I finished with apple struddle! oh and vanillia bean ice cream. Yeah we will be able to get through sept together. Its just my heart has broken so may times know Im not sure how it would hold up to anymore angels? Your shopping trip with DH sounded very nice, it must be so wonderful to have him home. Oh and if you need a hand with the move as long as its not in sept/oct Im around!

    Tommysmum- What is it with kids my DS is the same we have tiles right through the downstairs mind you that are cold underfoot and he tells me that his ugh boots "are way to hot"! just has pj pants and a singlet on WT! me and DH have socks trackies a blanket laying on the lounge and he walks out! How long till the house is finished? sounds like a big job and should be beautiful when done. I havnt posted in the other thread but im pretty ok with dates at the moment just let me know.

    Well lunch was great, but I have the story to top the family stuff of all, my sister rings me to find out if im going to see her off at the airport well im going to be now! We got into a heated discussion, to cut a long story short her last comment to me was "you choose to get to pregnant that many times,and lose them thats your choice" WTF. My mum wants to kill her! I think she has to join the line. Im so lucky to have other family around me that support. It couldnt have come at a worse time, my baby was due wednesday just past and things are just tough. Im try so hard to keep it together and the littlest thing can set me off......Oh boy Me thinks A good red and a hot bath will do my good.

    Sorry for the downer so I will go and have that bath.

    Keep well and warm, talk soon. Luv Natxx

    hi everyone,

    Dream - What a horrible thing your sister said to you. I have no advice, I think I am too shocked, but just wanted to send you a big massive

    Lynn - Not to long till you get a sneak peek at hope. How exciting!

    Mel - Meow, a puddy tat sounds like good fun, heres hoping you don't get too sneezy.

    Klee - Happy Birthday for yesterday, I hope you had a great day.

    Spring - it sounds like you are really enjoying having hubby home, shopping, luch, movies - what a life

    Hi to everyone else, I am being a cr@p poster, but I am just still feeling so :ms: I can't believe how bad I feel, it is worse than my other two pregnancies. i got the sea-sick bands, but they really aren't making much difference. So, just trying not to think about it. Have a great weekend everyone.

    Dream - i can't believe your sister said that. Just no tact and NO IDEA at all hey ? I have one of those (sisters) sometimes. Make sure she gets on that plane - it will be the best thing. I just can't believe she is so insensitive - i mean what is wrong with wanting and trying to have another baby - some people just dont get it.

    We have extended our house (new living area, office, bathroom, laundry, garage, pool and then renovating the old part of the house (everything). It has taken 1.5 years already. We are doing owner builder however saying that we still got a builder in with starting us off (building the shell). He was very slack and would only turn up when he wanted. So last year we wasted a good 5 months i gthink doing nothing. This year we have wasted probably 3 months - but i guess that would have been normal considering Tommy died - and we just didn't give a sh*t about anything. But now that bubba #3 is coming i really want the house completed (nothing more to do) by December, plus we are having xmas here so it is full steam ahead.

    Bailey - sorry to hear you are feeling that way - you poor thing. Hopefully it will settle in a few weeks (ok - days). Just think of it as positive - as much as you can. How is SIL going? Did you tell BIL also?

    Hello to everyone - -hope the weather near you is better than it is here. Storms galore here.

    Nat: I am so sorry honey, I didn't know that it was your angels due date on Wednesday. Hug sand cuddles coming your way :hugs: Now about your sister, I can't believe how insensitive she was. Doesn't she know that the only reason you continue down this painful path is because the urge to hold and earth baby is so intense? Tell her Spring said to get a grip! I hope you have managed to take that comment for what it its 'just plain mean' and move on. She doesn't deserve such a wonderful person as you as a sister. Thanks for the offer to help with the move, you are just too kind. Thankfully DH has plenty of burly mates who are going to help and his cousin owns a business so he is lending us the trucks. In DH's words I just have to get myself to the shops and come home once it is done. I'll be over 30 weeks so no moving for me.

    Tommysmum: You casa sounds just devine but boy that sounds like a massive logistical task. Well Christmas isn't that far away so before you know it you'll have a sparkling new house and a sweet little baby also.

    Bailey: It will pass honey, but for the time being I am sending some more sympathy your way. I don't have any suggestions or magical cures, the best thing I found was just vomiting and then I would feel a bit of relief.

    Well we are off to a BBQ today. DH is back and I have a social life again. I am going to get all rugged up though, runing around in underwear in these antartic like temperatures is beyond me.

    Pop in later on today.

    Deb I am sorry honey, I must have been posting at the same time. I wish my words of comfort could be as soothing as your words of comfort are for me.

    The only thin I guess I could say is that I don't think I have *met* a more inspirational woman and a woman who is the epitome of what a mother should be. I feel I have learnt so much from you. Not just the medical stuff, but how to cope with this journey. So if I can do anything to support you like you support each one of us, then I will.

    Sending you a big brave today and hoping that your migraine eases and your heart mends.

    Big love
    Spring.

    Nat - I am so so sorry that you have to deal with people's insensitive comments. It is really hard when it comes from your own flesh and blood (trust me, I know!!!). What she needs to understand is that yes you choose to fall pg all those times, but you didn't choose to lose them. She should be supporting you through this especially at this time, not saying nasty, horrible things to you. I have been thinking about you and your angel all week especially Wednesday, as you know. You are such a strong, wonderful person and you will have another baby in your arms very very soon. Sending you the biggest

    Deb - I am sorry that you aren't feeling very strong at the moment. I guess we will all have these times and we just need to support each other through the down times. I think like you, I believe that *Hope* is coming home and I try to remain positive. Think about one week at a time and when you get through a week, celebrate it. Celebrate your time with *Col* and the concentrate on your next week with *Col*. Deb he/she is doing so beautifully and I know that he/she will be coming home with you.

    Bailey - It sounds as though you have been hit pretty hard with the m/s. I hope it eases up on you soon. Will you be ok to come to the S&K meeting on Wednesday?

    Tommysmum - Sounds like a big job but worth it in the end. It will be wonderful to have a new house and a new baby by Christmas.

    Spring - enjoy your BBQ. I hope your body is recovering well after the needles! I won't laugh, I promise! Rug up and keep warm, it is freezing out there!

    Mel - a kitten sounds wonderful for you. Just don't squash it with all the cuddles you give it. I swear my dogs get angry at me from all the cuddles I give them. They are probably saying, you are so embarrassing mum!

    Hi to everyone else, hope you are enjoying your weekends.
