Hi all 
I wrote a massive long post on my phone before, and then lost it
, so shall attempt to write it again!!
4ever L is slow with her speech too I think - i have a friend whose daughter was born a couple of weeks before L, and at 19 months was singing Happy Birthday to her dad... L can say about 10 words, but some of them only we know what she means
She can however say an almost perfect au revoir which actually has nothing to do with me, but must come from her childminder. C was v slow, but had hearing problems, so I am just relieved to have a child who's saying a little more a little earlier 
I'm doing okay thanks, still incredibly sad and feeling bereft about what happened earlier this year. Although we were told that we shouldn't try again because of how poorly I get, it's massively on my mind. I know that if I fall pg again though, that dh would be very concerned and unable to be happy, and my dad and dh's mum would be positively cross due to the danger to me. I think your brain blocks out how bad things get though - I am seriously thinking now that of course I could get through it, whereas in reality I think I could have died the last time as I was so very ill. What do you think anyone? Need some sense talking to me I think...
Right, onto a happier subject - Christmas
Neeko are you really organised already? I am getting very excited, and have ordered loads of stuff already. I'm having an operation on my legs at the end of November, and as there are going to be 15 of us for Christmas at ours this year
I need to be completely organised before I go into hospital. Have got most of the stocking stuff done, and a fair few pressies, I cannot wait!!
How are you doing Sabs? Happy Birthday to S
What are you going to do for her b'day? Can't believe she's so grown up already!!
