DH died when I was 36 weeks pregnant. DD2 is two today! (DD1 nearly 6). Since she was born I've got back to work nearly full time, learned to drive and done the London marathon in aid of CRUK. My daughters are happy and healthy and have the most amazing bond. I've made a ton of mistakes but right now I just want to be proud.

Well done Grobags! You should be immensely proud of all you have achieved; your DH will be so proud of you for pushing on with a toddler and newborn when you were at your lowest ebb. The other achievements you have made on top of this are just astounding. You must take time today to sot and look at all you have done; you are amazing. Flowers

Happy Birthday to MiniGrobags as well Cake
