Hi first, course you can join! Congratulations - hope all goes well with this pg.
Moomins good news x
Night all - going to have a sneaky peak on fb to see if any pics of holly!

wtw many many congratulations and welcome to the world Holly Elizabeth.

moomins ouch. Hope you are doing ok there and that that stitch is firmly stuck!

So hello ladies, please may I join you? I know some of you already from a thread earlier this year - and thank you so very much for all your support everyone, you made an extremely difficult time more bearable - and from the bereavement thread. You all sound like a very jolly lot and I reckon that it's good to be positive Smile

I lost my baby boy B in April at almost 22 weeks during pregnancy. Since then we've learnt that we are cursed (!) with a rare genetic problem which means that we have a 1 in 4 chance of recurrence. And I'm pregnant again. We are playing a bit of a waiting game and I'm trying to stick my head in the sand and pretend that it's not happening. La la la (sticks fingers in ears)

razzdazz · 15/08/2012 21:27

crossed posts with you angel. I cant believe it is only 9 weeks!! I can so remember the time leading up to pheb's birth, your weekend away and so on. Almost feels like yesterday x

razzdazz · 15/08/2012 21:24

Massive congratulations wtw to you and your family, you all got there, wonderful.
Glad all went well for you today moomins
fan Im so sorry AF claimed you again. When I was trying to concieve (from when dd was 4, she is 9.5 now!!) I would manage to fall pregnant probably once or twice a year so that I guess wasnt really an issue. Holding onto the beans was. I managed to convince my consultant to track me via u/s during my cycle and it was found that I had an irregular endrometrial lining, very thin in places so the poor fertilised eggs had nothing to stick to, hence I would miscarry within days of missed af. Are your af's heavy or light or do they switch between the two?? Hope you dont mind me asking, especially as I have been awol for a bit.
Thank you for the kind words blizy, spilt and miasmum. I truly hope the counseller service can offer you something blizy.
Big, big waves back to you too. How is your gorgeous girl doing??? I think it is a beautiful idea to include Thea in the naming ceromony and I am sure however you decide to do it will be perfect.

I switched Samuel over into his pushchair seat part of my pram today and while of course I am thrilled that he is growing well and healthy part of me was almost sad......that it is going so fast!!! He loved it and sang to everyone that bothered to look when we were out today.

Really quick shout from Italy... Congratulations WTW!!!! Welcome to the world Holly! Xxxx

Hi to everyone else... Our road trip is going well, the boys are loving it, drove over the alps today and sleeping in Verona tonight then on to Lucca tommorow. Miss home and my dog and alpacas, but Merryn is here in my heart. I collected a pebble from the top of the highest pass in Austria today to throw in her river when we get home. My AF is late, but not preg, so not sure what's going on with the mini bleed two weeks ago. Hmmmm. I just want my cycle to at least give me a chance to ttc...

I miss you lot hugely, which is weird when we don't 'know' each other, or maybe you all know me more than my RL friends now in some ways? Anyway, I'll call in when I can. Love to all. Xxx

Bluetinkerbell · 15/08/2012 19:44

moomin glad it went well today! Now rest up!

amyboo · 15/08/2012 19:27

Fantastic news wtw. Such a beatutiful name too.

And glad to hear that it went well today moomins

fanjodisfunction · 15/08/2012 19:12

moomins it was me, they stapped me four times then on the fifth got it in but it only numbed one leg. I'm glad it all went well, lots of sticky vibes being sent your way.

Moominsarescary · 15/08/2012 18:48

Congratulations wtw xx

Thanks everyone, I've just got home. The stitch went in fine, just have to keep fx now.

Got out of surgery at 1.15, the lovely anaesthetist managed to numb me, but not to the extent that I couldn't feel my legs which was good and meant that I was up and about 4 hours later just waiting to be able to wee.

Tmi but bum and bits still a bit numb which is odd, the pain relief they gave me is wearing off and my tummy is a bit sore, but nothing too bad!

I can't remember if it's this thread or the other I'm on but someone else had a problem with their last spinal like I did, they got this one in no problems! Xx

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 15/08/2012 18:16

Hooray, fantastico, congratulations whatever!! Holly Elizabeth is a gorgeous name for your rainbow girl. Erin is a big sister!! I cannot tell you how happy I am... xx

fan bad, bad AF. Hope you are having a gentle day.

razz it is better to be honest about your feelings than keep them in. No matter how gorgeous and wonderful Samuel is, you can still miss Thomas. But all the other busy-ness of life also sounds like it is taking its toll.

too I really love the suggestion of Thea welcoming her little sister into the family, along with the rest of us. It tells everyone that all your children are loved, remembered and celebrated.

first hello again, glad you have turned up here.

And a big to everyone else, I have finally finished my Olympic duties. It was fun, but tiring, and while it was really special, I am glad it is over.

fanjodisfunction · 15/08/2012 16:47

ellypoo your not speaking out of turn, I'm not sure what the doctor could do, I must be ovulating to have been pregnant twice since Fi died. I guess I think we have to wait a couple more cycles untill I will see them.

spilt great to hear from you. Naughty Freya, can't believe she's nearly one.

spilttheteaagain · 15/08/2012 14:47

Congratulations to the wtw family!! Thrilled for you Grin Welcome you special special baby. A great size too at 37 weeks.

razz lovely to hear from you again, course we'll have you back! It's totally normal to have down days, Thomas is still missing and that grief is ongoing, of course it is. It can live alongside your love for and delight in Samuel without any contradiction. Hope he's doing well and giving you lots of cheeky grins.

moomins I hope you're ok today, was it painful?

fan big cuddles my lovely, I'm so sorry, how utterly shitty xxx

Freya has discarded my debit card for me today somewhere in the town centre. Note to self, do not give a bored and figety baby a wallet to play with when out! Cancelled that and got a new one coming, good job I noticed!

AugustMoon · 15/08/2012 14:31

Yay wtw! So absolutely delighted for you - I'm at soft play place looking like a loony with a huge grin on my face! And beautiful name too. Enjoy SmileGrin

Ellypoo · 15/08/2012 14:23

Hugest Congratulations wtw on the safe arrival of Holly Elizabeth, beautiful name! So so happy for you all xxx Hope you're ok and recover well from the op - take care and enjoy xxx

fan I'm so sorry. Forgive me if i'm posting out of turn, but have you spoken to your GP?

moomins - hope your op went ok and that you are recovering well.

to everyone else.

KleinePoppet · 15/08/2012 14:19

Oh, huge CONGRATULATIONS to the whole wtw family! And a great big hello&welcome to the beautifully-named Holly Elizabeth too... So pleased for you all Xxx

fanjodisfunction · 15/08/2012 14:09

wtw just wanted to say, Erins stone is gorgeous! Beautiful, really stands out.

blizy · 15/08/2012 14:09

split Shock and wow to Freya almost 1! Your garden sounds amazing, I would just sit out all day.

razz Good to hear from you, please don't feel ashamed of feeling down. Of course you still miss your little Angel, to be honest I would be a wee bit worried if you didn't feel sad sometimes. I hope S is doing well.

too Sorry I have no advice about the speach, not my forte at all. I hope you decided on it soon though.

fan I am so sorry, no other words really, as I know how heartbreaking and soul destryoing it is when AF turns up. Sending you huge hugs. x

moomins Hope you are doing well.

waves to kleine, blue mias, little,first and everyone else my sieve llike brain has forgot!

fanjodisfunction · 15/08/2012 14:05

wtw congratulations! Welcome to the world Holly! Such great news and has cheered me up. Can't wait to hear her story.

TooImmatureTurtleDoves · 15/08/2012 14:02

How marvellous, Wtw! Holly Elizabeth is a lovely name. So, so, so pleased for you! Thanks Grin

blizy · 15/08/2012 13:37

Huge congratulations whatever! I am so happy and excited for you all, I'm sure Erin will be so proud of her baby sister and of her mummy for getting through the past 9 months. Welcome to the world Holly Elizabeth! Grin

Whatevertheweather · 15/08/2012 13:25
