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.

No, YANFBU!! SmileSmileSmile

You should be feeling sooooo proud!! You are wonderful and your little ones are blessed to have you as their mum. To have achieved so much in those circumstances is amazing and your DH is probably feeling immensely proud of you and his little family. Stay strong and be happy Grin Grin you deserve it so much.

Hope DD2 had a wonderful birthday CakeFlowersCake and some Wine with bubbles for you!!
