A difficult day for me. If things had gone to plan then my girls would have been a few weeks old. Really hard without them. A friend has just had her twins and it feels unfair she gets Christmas with them but I don't have my girls with me.

CazandBelle · 25/12/2010 20:30

Aww how lovely for Dee , so pleased for her!

Axis love to you and us all. Its nearly over. The world will go back to 'normal' on Monday.

You're right, it seems so very unfair. I've two neighbours who's babies were born in June - Belle and the other two all born within 10 days of eachother. and yes, it is unfair. They get the absolute perfect christmas, I've got making Belle's memory perfect at Christmas. Christmas will never be the same will it, even if we have another little one by next Christmas, Belle will still be missing. There will never be that 'perfect' christmas now.

Hi everyone. xx

Well I have survived. Woke up early before everyone else. Very tearful. But have got through thxxe day. I feel very selfish as I have got my eldest son and his lovely new partner here, she has been like a breath of fresh air. but much as I am so happy to have them here I have missed Richard so much today, very difficult.

I have lit candles for all our precious children. x

Morning girls xxx

spilttheteaagain · 26/12/2010 11:46

Morning all

May I just say how immensely glad I am that yesterday is over. DH and I were doing ok by just muddling through and pretending it was just a normal weekend day with nice meal and a couple of gifts each... but the happy Christmas family phonecalls were hard. The one with my sister reduced me to a sweary tirade and mad tears (not her fault, but she seemed to want to get me to discuss all my feelings and explore whether I felt happy/sad/guilty blah blah blah and I was most pissed off by this so swore a lot, cried and then hung up Blush)

We went for a walk in the afternoon and I got unreasonably angry about all the smiley people saying "Merry Christmas". I feel very horrible for this.

I was also feeling low and sad because one of my conception thread friends who was 1 day ahead of me started to MC on Christmas eve and had all the clots etc on Christmas morning. I am really sad for her Sad. It's awful at anytime but to MC on Christmas day. Hideous Sad

So I am 6 weeks today and nervous, sick, tired and mainly glad yesterday is over and the world can go back to normal.

Oh and the cat set fire to himself yesterday Shock. He lent against a candle (the one I lit thinking of you all! Whose DC was being naughty then?! Wink), fur caught and smouldered for a second whilst we went Shock and ran to help! Daft animal. He didn't even realise. Smoke alarm went mad and I can confirm that the smell of burning fur is vile!

Hope you are all ok xx

CazandBelle · 26/12/2010 12:35

Well we're all out the other side.

We're about to go to Mum and Dads for our normal Sunday lunch. Mum didn't put a tree up this year, she kept putting it off and then all of a sudden it was Christmas Eve and she couldn't be bothered. They have struggled a lot this Christmas too. So it won't feel at all Boxing Day like there at all. Just a normal Sunday.

Oh your poor cat Split and poor girl on conception thread.

Adverse - glad you found us - but sorry we had to meet on this thread. xxxxxx

shabbapinkfrog · 27/12/2010 12:48

GIRLS - PLEASE IGNORE MY EARLIER LINK TO THE 'MUMMY WHO LOST QUADS' Angry MN are going to pull the thread. OMG there's no fool like an old fool is there?

CazandBelle · 27/12/2010 12:57

Omg again? Why do people keep doing this?

I wonder who this one is? MNHQ obviously have an idea to pull it so quickly!

I know it is attention seeking but I don't understand. If they really lived what we live for one minute no-one would lie about our pain.

shabbapinkfrog · 27/12/2010 12:59

Sadly, sadly Caz there are totally nutters in this world. Fancy anyone with a sane mind, wanting to be in our situation. Sorry I dragged you in sweetheart. One day I WILL think before I post. Love to you xxxx

CazandBelle · 27/12/2010 13:02

Don't worry Shab - I would rather send a message of love and support than miss a real Mummy. I just can't believe a sick individual who would do this at Christmas (or any time, but now when complete families are especially in our faces...) They have no idea how Christmas has hurt us real Mums.

OP posts:
shabbapinkfrog · 27/12/2010 13:04

They do it because they crave attention. I feel awful for dragging you girls in. xxx

peterpansmum · 27/12/2010 13:29

Omg just spotted that post before it was pulled... Some folks are just hideous creatures... Why why why?
I also believe in karma shabs...

Surpringly I'm not as hungover as I thought I'd be today... Think I was almost needing a blow out if that makes sense?! Some serious dieting is on the cards for me next year... Last year I was really screwed up about new year but this time i think I have a little more perspective and I do feel able to and actually want to look forward... Progress? Nah I just think I've decided that MY life is very precious and I do actually want to live!!

lavandes · 27/12/2010 18:04

hi ladies xx

Can I ignore all the crap from the pulled post and ask for a round of applause for all of us who have survived the last days. Hope this is appropriate here goes
