Spring - I have been thinking of you today and hoping you are doing ok. I agree with you about next Sunday, I am absolutely dreading it - DH and I are going to do something nice together but I think it is going to be a really tough day. At least we will all be going through the same feelings on the day, I think it helps just to know you girls are there through it all. Sorry DH had to go back, 33 sleeps will fly by - as is your ticker, everytime I look at it I cant believe it.
Lynn - I am so sorry you have had a tough weekend. Did you have a nice time at the ball or was it really hard? The amount of money you said they raised is amazing! Hopefully they can save someone else in the future from going through what we all are. Big for you and I hope you are ok, if you need a chat let me know.
Bailey - I feel the same, as painful as everything is I would never give him back. I love him with all my heart and and very thankful for having the honour of meeting him and knowing him for all those months. Nothing will change the fact they are our babies and we just have to remember that they are as much ours as they were when we were lucky enough to have them in our tummies
Tommysmum - Spring is right, there is some kind of instant bond that is formed between women who have experienced the heartache we have - whether it be multiple losses or a stillbirth. I also feel so close to the women in this thread and honestly care about each and every one of you. I never imagined I could care about people I have not met in person but I really do, and I think it comes from the mutual understanding we have of each other. I cannot imagine how hard it was for the women generations ago who lost their babies and firstly they were just taken away as if they never existed but then on top of that from what I understand society had the attitude of forget about it and it goes away. I think society still has a long way to go in terms of their compassion and understanding of grieving mothers but compared to those days we are extremely lucky. I can understand why those women still cry for their babies 40 years or so afterwards, I can not imagine not crying for Nicholas, nor do I think I want to stop completely.
Deb - You sound like you have had a busy but nice day, you must be extra tired with your little bean zapping all of your energy - make sure you rest up and bub can have a snooze
Hi to everyone else, hope you have had a nice weekend.
Lynn I am sorry I forgot about the Stillbirth Foundation Ball until Mel mentioned it. You are very brave for going. I was too chicken as you know. I hope you are ok, it would have been really tough.
Mel: How did the pasteries go? I would love to know what is in them, perhaps if you have the time you could email the recepie, that is if you are happy to share it.
Well, time for some dinner for me, oooh I don't have to cook, just reheat, I am so excited it is pathetic.
I have had a scan through the messages - there were so many that I didn't read through them all!! I have been hiding away as for whatever reason I've been having a few hard days - well nearly two weeks!! But I am feeling much better now and looking forward to ttc properly this month.
Congrats Flowerchild , that is just great news about your BFP, I hope more BFPs follow shortly.
Lynn - i think you are amazing for going to the ball - how was it ? I received flyer from Sids & Kids the other day about a symposium on Stillbirths by Professor Froen - it was also in the paper yesterday. Was this ball a continuation of this symposium - do you know ? I hope you are doing ok, well better than ok.
Flowerchild -i have my ticker up now (was going to wait until my next scan to see if everything is ok but for some reason i know that little heartbeat is still ticking away and i feel confident - i think i have forced myself and i talk about "when this baby comes" etc). How are you going - is the MS hitting you ?
Spring - i just noticed my ticker is the same as yours - i saw the house and thought yes this baby is heading home this time round. Very appropriate. I can't believe you are over the 20w mark. Those numbers just look fantastic ! DH is away for another 33 days hey - just think how far you will be then - it is getting closer and closer for you. Are you able to visit him whilst he is away (where is he ?). Chin up
Mel - you sound more happier in your posts - how are you doing ? I must say i have meant to comment on your webpage for Nicholas - i go in there from time to time to have a look - you have done a wonderful job and Mr Nicholas is such a cutie isn't he. His feet impressions are beautiful - all i have is a clay imprint (there was no one available at xmas to do more than that). And i don't have a full length photo of my Tommy - didn't even think about it (or getting any of his feet/hands) - bugger. Your photo's are just beautiful.
Bailey - i am glad that you and DH had a good chat and cry - it is the best thing to hahppen, esp after any tension. So when are you testing next - i am very excited for you (and everyone else that is testing this month) and can't wait to see another BFP on this site.
Thanks for all your comments about my last post - they are all so true. It really makes you think differently now hey. I watched the last 10 min or so of BB (didn't want to but was waiting for it to finish) and saw Kate chat about her experience - i am so glad she did as i hope that my friends were watching. I think some have forgotten about it - well they don't really talk about it. My younger sister still never has (and still to this day has never asked how we are going) - she will be the last one to find out my new news.
Had a horrible night with Emily - she has had a bug for the last few days and been pooing her pants like you wouldn't believe. Well in the night she decided to do one everywhere - like an explosion - poor little chicken - i am going to have to starve her little tummy today i think.
I hope i have covered all posts (there is so much to read here chatterboxes) and i hope everyone is doing fine. Hello to everyone else - take it easy and take care.
for you and I hope you are ok, if you need a chat let me know.
, that is just great news about your BFP, I hope more BFPs follow shortly.
