Angels and Rainbows - The beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. But it can provide colour and hope.

“Rainbow Babies” is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn’t mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counter balance of color, energy and hope.

vicky how were the results? If they are bad will they induce? Hope everythings ok hun!

Im having a right shit evening, it was so good today as well, work went well, I had an interview for a volunteer position that could lead to a full time countryside ranger job. And the guy seamed really interested in my skills and fx I could end up with the job of my dreams right on my doorstep! and then my husband has to ruin the whole evening! the twat! Im so cross and upset, he can be such a sanctamonious bastard when hes had a few to drink, but to top it all he did that after he had worked a 14 hour shift, so he rides home and gets knocked off his bike. He ends up having a row with me because I wasnt all loving to him when I picked him up from his mums! Im so fuming, but also really upset that he has put me through this. Im really fed up of having these drunk arguments with him when he makes me feel like shit and Im the one in the wrong. Sorry girls for telling you my woes! Im just sitting in front of the telly watching crufts while he sleeps it off! crying my eyes out, hes fucking snoring couldnt give a shit. I tired to get him to take a long soak int he tub to ease his pains from the collision, but hes not having any of it.
I so didnt need this today.

Too- good luck, hope bean is kicking away now. I will be thinking about you all day. Sending you huge hugs. X

TooImmatureTurtleDoves · 09/03/2012 06:05

Ok, am about to get up and get going! Woke up at 5 and started to freak out about lack of movements - thank God for the doppler. Bean still hasn't really moved but her little heartbeat is thumping away, so I have calmed down a bit. She was kicking away heaps yesterday - maybe she's just getting rested up! Usually when she does this I would drink lots of cold water and eat something to get her going, but I'm supposed to be on nil by mouth so I can't resort to that this time. Right, I'd better get up. Eeeek!

AugustMoon · 08/03/2012 23:01

Good luck Too lovely - will be thinking of you all day tomorrow.

AngelGeorgie · 08/03/2012 22:43

Thanks all re: HV." HV's??" what are they??? They will no longer infringe upon our life!!! Xx

CheeseandGherkins · 08/03/2012 21:11

too yep she has reflux, just not sure if it's just that or a dairy intolerance as well, it's frustrating. I tried going dairy free the past week and a bit but can't do it anymore as it's made me a vegan basically and I'm eating barely anything. I've lost weght and also have no energy, irritable etc so gone back to dairy today and feeling a lot better for it. She was on gaviscon and domperidone but it's been making her worse so we've stopped it. She has a hospital appointment next Tuesday so hopefully they'll be able to help.

I'm sure all will be fine tomorrow, so excited for you!! Cannot wait to hear news :o If you want dh with you then tell them, I'm sure they can be accomadating given the circumstances, they shouldn't chuck him out!

fan totally agree re the HV

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 08/03/2012 20:59

too wow, the big moment is nearly here! I am so excited for you and your DH.

fanjodisfunction · 08/03/2012 20:35

just read your last post there too I dont think I could handle DH leaving my side for that long, I hope thats not a country wide thing? Good luck, I will be thinking of you and yours all day tomorrow and trying to update my phone while Im out at work. Cant wait to hear the arrival of Thea's Little sis, her weight and her name, well everything about her really.
