Sounds good shelley I know this first Christmas without Richard will be difficult, to put it mildly, we have spent some part of Christmas and New Year with him for the last 10 years. But our eldest son is making the journey from the other side of the world to be with us this year, we have not seen him since 2008 and I am sure he will need a lot of tlc because he had no family with him when Richard died, he will get all the love and support he needs. and we ARE looking forward to it. I just get panicky about everything at the moment. I am sure we will cope.I know I sound stupid worrying about things. I also know that we are very fortunate to have eachother. We just miss Richard so much.

Hope things are settling down for you now xx

lavandes Sad
I feel so sad for you, and for all of us who are having to endure particularly this first Christmas with our grief.

I would say don't worry about being emotional with your son. Could you even send him and email or a letter to tell him a bit of how you feel first? Then he can explain it a bit to his DP too. I'm sure it will be a heartbreaking time, but also you must be so looking forward to seeing your eldest after so long? I hope you get some long evenings to have a hug and a talk and a cry together.

I thought I was doing ok today until DH phoned to say his boss is sick and work have asked can he stand in and go in his boss's place to a conference on the continent, requiring 2 nights away, 2 hour motorway trip to airport, flights etc. WAAAAH! No! He got how upset I was about it and has said no and someone else is going instead. Made me realise how fragile I feel.

Morning ladies xx

shabbapinkfrog · 30/11/2010 08:33

Morning girls. Woke up at 7.45 Confused so panic stations to get Tom up and on his way!!! We have a couple of inches of snow so he jumped out of bed and he has set off at the normal time LOL! Not looking forward to the walk to get Lew - I take the short cut path that runs past a big fishing pond and although its beautiful it is very exposed and will be freezing!

shelleylou · 30/11/2010 08:39

We enjoy it i love christmas with my family im quite aprehensive of it this year. My new boxing day tradtion has gone out the window lol H and i met on boxing day so we have champagne that day not this year though lol. I'm managing fine dispite my phione and hair straighteners broke within a day of each other. Thank god my birthday is in less than 2 weeks lol.

Hope it isn't too slippy and cold for you Shabs. I'm quite lucky DS's school is only a 5 minute walk and i always leave so we get there a bit early he goes daft if his friends have already gone in lol. Will be running back as i have to wait for a parcel

lavandes · 30/11/2010 09:30

Deemented · 30/11/2010 14:01

So this is where you've been hiding!

I'm sorry i've not been around for a while - lots going on here including twattish MIL's and pox ridden children!

Much love to y'all x

lavandes · 30/11/2010 14:16

Dee I thought being twattish was a MIL job requirement! What's up with the children, is it chickenpox?

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 30/11/2010 14:20

Hi all, sorry I've been awol, for some reason I find it difficult to be here at the moment. Nothing to do with you lovely woman, infact I'm not really sure why myself.

I think I'm determined to make Christmas a happy time for us all, but the shadow of losing C is always lurking, no matter how jolly I try to be. I also realise that I need to focus my energies on growing this baby. Maybe I'm over-analysing everything? God knows what is going on in my head tbh.

Lovely to hear your news AbiAbi, I am thrilled for you all xxxx

How is your db TW?

One of the main reasons I've come back is because of H's and J's remember days.

I think of all of us and our darling children everyday.

Minione · 01/12/2010 21:34

Hazy - Thinking of you, your daughter and Jayden, lots of love xx

Hope everyone is ok, I'm back at work which is fine once I'm there but I'm struggling to get up in the morning and finding it hard to sleep. My GP is referring me to the recurrent miscarriage clinic, technically you should have 3 miscarriages but he said 2 and a still birth should make us applicable Confused. The closer it gets to Christmas the worse I feel.

CazandBelle · 01/12/2010 23:08

Hazy sorry this is late, but thinking of you.

Mini I know what you mean. I blogged about Christmas a little while ago. There is something about it now being December that has made me feel very low today. Earlier we went and decorated Belle's garden. It looks beautiful but I wish it wasn't this way.

Today has been made worse by feeling pre-menstral. I've felt hormonal and emotional all day, back ache and period pain and a bit of brown spotting. Not supposed to be due on until next week though, only on day 25. Doesn't look like this month is our month. Which is ok, because its only 1st month of ttc and it took us 3 with Belle. But I'm feeling sad about it, because we shouldn't be back on the ttc journey at all. That wasn't part of the plan.

I hope the recurrent miscarriage clinic can bring you hope. Thinking of you also tonight.
