Rainbow Babies - hoping and trying for rainbows, loving and remembering our Angels xxx

August I added you! Wtw reminded me who you are

Found it thanks Blue

(((Fan))) xxx

Elly Nancy is so gorgeous. What weight was she?

green, Moomins and August don't think I have you on FB... if you'd like to join the group, pm me your real names and profile pic description, then I'll friend you and add you to the group :)

Secret FB group has been set up! Named it 'Love, like starlight, never dies'
Let me know if I need to change it to anything else...
It was just the first thing that came up...
as there will always be love for our angels and love for our rainbows and other children... apparently children before a loss are called sunshines...

Oh and nudge me if you haven't been invited, I've got terrible pregnancy brain

Just a quick one to say FB secret page sounds great. I'm in. I will try and catch up tomorrow morning before work, been a shitty day today.

Thank you elly! Yes it was the SANDS balloon release. Nancy is such a beautiful little girl- perfect. X

Hehe, now I got your attention

Yes, FB has the option of starting up a group which you can make secret, which means invite-only and nobody else can see on your profile that you are part of it, or see what you post in the ticker.
I'm still part of the November 11 Mumsnet FB group, which is a really lovely group of ladies.
It's a different way of keeping in touch, easy to share pictures and such... (as I find MN a real pain for sharing pics with others)

Blue- I agree with spilt, I hope the next few days are gentle for you. Remember we are here for you. X. Secret fb page you say?

You ok moomins?

Secret FB group? You can do that!? Well I never
Erm Elly I sent a friend request to blue's newest friend who I think is you. I'm initials DR.

Thanks too, she's lovely I ought to put some more recent pics up - that one of her is 3 months ago.

Are you working tomorrow and Weds blue or have you got some time at home? Be kind to yourself and don't expect too much from you xx

Elly what a gorgeous, adorable little girl your Nancy! x

wtw glad your GTT was ok!

I've got a star paper puncher to include Sterre in cards, but didn't do a Father's day card this year. E had made some and I thought that was enough...

Today was ok, kept myself busy with work, dreading tomorrow and Wednesday though... We'll see how it goes...

Btw what do you ladies think about a secret FB group?

Wtw good news about the gtt. I have a little butterfly stamp for Zoe.

Angel- I'm glad you are feeling better,wow at F trying to crawl- clever girl!

Elly- I'm on fb too, my initials are L B and my profile pic is of Dh and I on our wedding day.

Hi Moomins- hope you are ok?

Big waves to everyone! X

Angel, after I posted on here last night I cried a lot and then got DH's Father's Day card, added Thea to it and went and showed him. It just felt better.

Spilt, I accepted your FB request - couldn't think who it was at first, then twigged it must be one of you lot! Freya is so cute. I must upload some pics of Maia.

Wtw, yay for good GTT - hope for good scan tomorrow!

Thanks Whatever xxx glad u re GTT is ok. Good luck for your scan xxx
Thanks Spilt xxxx feel a little better now. Slept & read as sick of thinking. Phebs trying to crawl tonight. She's helping put a smile back on my face oh & lost 2 lb tonight , very shocked at that!!!! That's 18 lb in total!!!! Next stop: 1.5 stone !! Xx

Big hugs angel and elly it's so hard. Glad you've got the day off tomorrow Angel. Elly once you're friends with blue on Fb you can find me in her friends. Initials LS

With cards - at Christmas I went and bought an ink stamp which prints a little shooting star and some pink ink. I stamp that in cards now where I want Erin acknowledged. I find it easier than signing her name as for some reason that feels a bit strange but the stamp means she is always included. So in dp's fathers card Katie wrote it and we stamped the shooting star at the bottom. I sometimes write 'Love, like starlight, never dies' next to it depending on the card. It works for us and I will do it again this Christmas.

Midwife rang to say GTT all fine so one less thing to worry about, phew! Scan again tomorrow

Wrote a big long post and don't know where it's gone! Will try again later. Hope everyone Is ok x

Oh angel, I just want to wrap you up in a big hug and make it all ok... but no one can Cuddle your little Phoebs close and have a good cry, its cathartic to let it out.

Elly course you can join in! Once blue has added you I'll nab you from her friend list. I know what you mean about trying to navigate your way through these new things like fathers day when you are an angel parent. No one prepares you for this and you just have to muddle through and try and do what feels right by you, DH and Constance. If thats to make each other cards from her then do it, or if it's to just leave it be and do nothing then fine. Do what you need to xx

I think eventually what feels like it should be loads of time since loosing our children passes, and slowly it dawns that this is it now. It won't get much better, like you thought it might, you just get quite good at pretending and putting on a face. Trudge trudge trudge. It is bloody wearing though and sometimes just too much and the mask slips.

Gorgeous sunshine here today, hope my strawbs will ripen enough for pudding tonight

Of course you can join in on FB Elly PM your name and surname and description of your profile pic and I'll see if I can find you

Elly xxx I have had counselling after loosing Georgie via work & it helped a lot. Go see your gp it's well worth it & if it doesn t help you won t have lost anything from attending.your poor DH... Mine does my head in as doesn t talk about Georgie sometimes I feel like he wants to move on & not acknowledge her. He says it's his way of coping. Men!!! Xxx
Well, I ve had to come home ... Been in tears at work feel so fragile & delicate again. Think next year I ll arrange some AL the week after SANDS service as opposed to the week before. Off tomorrow seeing a mate off out for lunch so hopefully I ll feel a bit stronger by then.its all so raw again going to try & sleep as don t think the lack of sleep helps.
Hope we all find a way through as a lot of us seem to be very delicate & tender at the moment.... Love to all xxxxxx
