Lauren so sorry for your loss, will be thinking of you :hug:
Ty all, just feeling a bit sad, a bit tired and a bit cranky. I just keep hearing ryan laugh and thinking I'll never hear his little brother laugh, never see him run around and make those milestones. These things tend to happen for a reason though, keep trying to tell myself something must have been wrong or it wouldnt have happened..
Oh hun! Your heart is so broken, i am sure Dylan is just waiting for the right little body to come along ao he can be wiht you all! Please call on us when ever you need! :hug: xxxxxx
Lauren - Just wanted to pop in here and offer my support and hugs again :comfort:
Take care of yourself babe, I can imagine you are in for a very rocky road ahead. We are here for you if you need to talk, but don't hesitate to see a professional if you feel you need to. I made the mistake of leaving it way too late and then it all came crashing down.
You will be in my thoughts babe :hug:
Lauren, can't stop thinking of you xo
Thank you all. I got a rosemary plant and a baby statue today, I made a little grave in the backyard. I linked some pics in the 15 weeks and buns gone thread or they are on FB if anyone wants a peep..
So how is everyone else going? Hows all the bellies coming along? How are the kidlets going? Ryans speaking but is hard to understand and won't try and say things properly, is a bit frustrating but he will get there eventually :).
What sort of outdoor toys have you got your kidlets? Supposedly ryan has a massive dump truck and a car with a fuel pump coming his way the next time I go visit the parentals in sydney.. how are are going to fit them in the car is beyond me... there goes the garden :)
:hug: Lauren the litle grave is beautful and lighting a candle for Dylan would have been so special! I wish i could come give you a big Real life hug :hug: Hope your doing ok? :hug:

BBL xxxx
:hug: Lauren, i agree with Amber the grave is beautiful.
As for talking M has become a little copy cat, her new favorite thing to say is Oh Mate, She learnt that from her Great Aunty & she also says Where's Kodi if she can't see where Kodi is lol
As for toys M has her swing set, some balls & a plastic slide cubby thingy. When it gets warmer i'll buy some more things for her.
Haha that is very cute, Ryan was saying "oh jeez" when he dropped things (better than s h * t that I normally say LOL). Now he says "go go go go" when I tell him to get a move on (hes likes to stop and smell the roses... or more pick nything and everything off the ground).
Are swing sets expensive? When I go back to work thinking of saving for one. Any tips? I picked up a brochure from bunings, they have the most awsome set I have ever seen, better than any kids centre... then again it does cost $12K... if we got it I'd even play on it :) hehe, can't afford it though, but still, would be nice!
Thank you I didn't want it to be too over the top and something easy to maintain. I got the little statue from the hippy shop in town. They used to have ones that were a little baby in the palm of someones hand, they are ordering it in for me so I can put it inside somewhere, going to get a little plaque for it when I get it that has his name and the date. If I have a hundred miscarriages ill have a hundred graves with a hundred little hand babies... every baby is special
Hi all
Lauren - what a lovely way to celebrate Dylan's short life.
As for play equipment, we currently have a plastic fort/swing/slide thing. I've looked into those timber fort/cubby houses etc. Most seem to cost over $1000. The one we bought was under $200 new and I know my friends have got used ones on ebay for less than that. We also have a pool/sandpit clam shell that is empty but he climbs all over. At present he just loves running around after the dogs in the yard. We have a Tonka truck on laybuy for his birthday. We recently moved into a house where the previous owners had young sons. L is forever discovering discarded matchbox cars, rubber balls and other plastic things. No doubt he will add to the archaelogy of toys in the coming years.
Speaking - L's vocab is still very limited and he doesn't do sentances yet and I can't make out many words either but he is very vocal and when he says something that sounds like a word I try to put the word into context with what he is doing. Does Ry use a dummy? I am wondering if L's use of one is limiting his speech development. L does understand most of what is going on and follows instructions well and communicates what he wants. Maybe he's a silent type like his dad.
Nothing happening here. Off to the OB tomorrow to discuss strategies on getting this labour moving.
Had a lovely surprise yesterday. Had planned with my MG a high tea afternoon, but when we got there the table was decorated with baby table sprinkles. So it turned out to be a surprise baby shower. They chipped in for a beauty salon voucher. I used my last one just on Friday so now I have another pamper session to look forward to.
Saffi - how lovely of them that will be great :) I got a massage for my bday and omg it was awsome.
I will troll ebay for kids swings and a dyson.. I really wants a dyson :) hehe oh yes when we dug around here we got lots of toys, there were even toys down the drain blocking our toilet! The plumber even asked if I wanted to clean them for my newborn baby... how's about heck no!!! :)
No Ryan doesn't have a dummy, he has his own language that is really well spoken and he understands almost everything that I say to him he just prefers his words over mine. I've been told by a few friends boys speak later than girls do. He says: dunk u, drink, go go go, mummy, daddy, eh/aye?, shooz, outside, oooohhhh, uh oh, opps, able (table)... but they aren't said very often. He knows to take food and drink to the table, that shoes go on the shoe rack and that we need socks and shoes to go outside and knows what "put it back" means and brings things he knows he isn't allowed and says 'no' as he gives them to me, unless he really wants it then he'll try and sneak them behind his back hehehe. But as I said he says a lot of things, but very rarely, we have been trying to make him say things and ask for things it's a slow and painful process :)
Hi Girls :)
Lauren - The grave for Dylan is beautiful...simple and just what you need to remember him by. As for speaking...Max says loads of things but only we really understand....He says DaDoo (Thank you) CONSTANTLY....like every single time I give him something, every single time we get in and out of a Taxi...it's so cute! He tries to copy everything but a lot of the words sound the same. He has his stand out words...like Mummy & Daddy and he's only just trying to string things together, but it's all gobbildigook to me! So cute though. Toys...well here we don't have any outside toys. At the condo, they have a massive chess set so this arvo Max decided it would be fun to drag a chess piece around with him....dragging it over the 'wuff' bits of the road. At home we had a swing set and a sandpit. He loved the sandpit and he also loved to push around his massive tonka truck.....but really his favourite thing to play with is Mummy! and when I'm in Perth...Charlie :)
Saffi How nice of your friends to do that for you. Mothers groups are such a godsend I think! I appreciate every single one of my girls and I miss them so much. Enjoy your pamper! Whaddya mean moving labour along....don't you know overdue is the new in thing!!!?
Willow Assuming you are still pregnant and wondering when the hell your child is going to arrive earthside!
Well off to bed...totally buggered here after DH's big night (getting in at 5am and then being a right off for an entire sunday!) Hello to all and love of love and kisses for kiddlies and belly rubs!
Julia - I've always been unfashionable LOL Going to speak with the OB about the game plan for this labour. Waivering between my desire to have a planned induction and just waiting and seeing. Might just go for a S&S on my EDD and see what happens.
Speaking of copying I have to share something L did this morning. DH walked into the room with his hands in his pockets. L was following him also with hands in pockets. It was so cute. Some copying behaviour is just so cute, others unwanted like trying to sweep the floor for me, and others he won't copy like happily brushing his teeth.
Saffi - I remember being in your spot not long ago & i was all for my OB breaking my waters lol
Maddi has a dummy. When she talks with the dummy in & you have to pull the dummy out to understand her.
Woohoo! Just got a text that Willow's Boo is here! Her friend will be doing the BA, but I thought I'd announce it in here :D
A big congratulations Willow! I can't wait to hear more details!!!!:
HE's here! Boo arrived safely just before 9am after a rough posterior labour. We did a breast crawl and he's feeding like a champ. Name still being debated.
Yay! Congrats Willow! Cant wait to hear the rest of the details
BBL
Congratulations Willow on your blue bundle .. what great news to start the week!
