Had scan and everything seems to be ok! I seemed to be measuring further on than I was at the last scan but I was told the due date is still the same?!!? Anyway, I feel relieved and happy x

Afternoon ladies,
I never usually post anywhere else on this site but today I have... www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1166411-Vodafone-World-of-Difference-and-Blogging There is a link to my blog which shows what i'm going to be doing with the Scottish Cot Death Trust over the next couple of months, come have a look and let me know what you think.

Mini - am pleased for you that all is well x

Minione · 07/03/2011 19:41

Thanks PPM. I've just had a look at your blog, what a beautiful and gorgeous little boy Gregor was. I think you're doing a really brave and wonderful thing and I'm sure your little boy will be looking down on you proudly.

Great news on the scan mini Smile

You've probably heard us say this before lavandes, but many of us feel the build up to anniversaries is worse than the actual day. The day is upsetting of course, but after all of the upset bubbling under the surface for weeks in advance, it's almost a relief for the day to have finally arrived.

How are you doing *itsnotgoingwelltoday' ?

Happy birthday caz, hope you are enjoying London Grin

I'm glad Friday night went well for you TW. I hate that bloody 'should I or shouldn't I say anything' dilemma. It's like you don't want to put a downer on things - which of course is just bloody ridiculous.

I'm now off to look at your blog PPM

Hello PPM. I don't cry much any more - I retreat to my 'sad place' inside - but seeing your beautiful smiling boy has prompted forgotten tears... My DS loved his Tigger suit too :) :( How can our lovely boys not be here?!? :(

travellingwilbury · 07/03/2011 20:33

Harry loved Tigger too , he was actually buried in his tigger suit .

Oh bugger xx

Aw shit I'm sorry if i've upset you guys and Wine Wine Wine anyone? x

travellingwilbury · 07/03/2011 20:44

ppm Don't you dare apologise , when I saw the pic of Gregor in his Tigger suit the other day I nearly said it has reminded me of Harry in his and then didn't say anything in case I upset you . We are loops aren't we ?

Wine thanks x

Heliantha · 07/03/2011 20:45

Oh crumbs TW, so was my boy :( They'll all be bounding round Heaven trying to catch each other's tails :o It's just so NOT FAIR

Don't be sorry PPM - it's lovely to see Gregor & think of the good you are doing. Much love xx

peterpansmum · 07/03/2011 20:49

Thanks folks - it's bad enough other folks tiptoeing around us heh let along us doing it to ourselves eh?! Grin St Davids
I called three journalists today as well - I'm either coping better these days or have lost the plot altogether, am not quite sure which Smile Grin xx St Davids St Davids

travellingwilbury · 07/03/2011 20:50

Bloody hell Heliantha , that is some weird coincidence Sad

I love the idea of them chasing each others tails . Bouncing around like loons and having a great time .

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 07/03/2011 20:50

It has made me think about what C was buried in, and then I got upset for all of us because it is so bloody unfair that we have that to deal with.

So bloody unfair.

I do like the picture of the boys boinging around after each other Smile

Hello ladies, i had a very special meeting this morning. In the churchyard where Jack is buried there are two other little boys who i will call C and K. I always make a point of going to all three boys graves every time i go to the churchyard.Today whilst i was in Ipswich shopping, i bumped into K's Mummy and Daddy. He was stillborn five weeks before i had Wilf and all my friends and family were sworn to secrecy not to tell me so i didnt get upset. We talked about other things this morning for a few minutes and then we got round to talking about Jack and K. I told them that i go to all the boys graves and K's mummy said how sad that there were three little boys there who should be with their families. She told me that she always tells everyone that they have three children and i said that i always say that i have two children. It was so nice to speak to them and know that they understood everything the same as me.......

travellingwilbury · 07/03/2011 20:52

You are doing a grand job ppm Just enjoy the fact you are doing some good and making a difference .

It sounds like you are getting your confidence well and truly back St Davids St Davids xx

itisnotgoingwelltoday · 07/03/2011 20:53

Evening ladies.

Have been thinking of you all today - all different, with different stories but the emotions and feelings are so similar?

Yesterday I was feeling so ill that it wasn't as bad as I thought, but driving home from work today I was in tears, thinking about the relative that William was named for (he died on 10th March so v v close to when I lost my boy) and wondering what he would think if he could see my family and hoping that he's taking care of my boy for me.

Sad
ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 07/03/2011 21:02

Hi itisnotgoingwelltoday Smile

I always visualise my grandad taking care of my boy. I can see the whole scene in my mind and it gives me a lot of comfort.

travellingwilbury · 07/03/2011 21:03

Hi its I am so sorry to hear about William , my son died in dec 2001 aged 14mths . I am mostly ok now , like you I am a few yrs down this crappy road but I do have my days when the grief comes and bites me on the bum .

shabbapinkfrog · 07/03/2011 21:05

Between us all we have some very special children dont we? Smile

Just been telling Tom all about your DS1 PPM. Telling him how excited he was when it was Gregors birthday. I have just realised that my potty mouth DS4 said 'Bloody hell Mum I couldn't cope when my goldfish died....he must be a bloody great little lad!!'

What with Toms 'Bloodys' and our Mattys 'shaking balls' I think I have dragged my kids up!!!

itisnotgoingwelltoday · 07/03/2011 21:05

I feel so ANGRY sometimes - mostly with myself for not sticking up to my ex-mil and calling her when she was such a bitch and making them remember

Oh I don't know.

And I so admire all you ladies for the way you cope - I'm 16 years down the line and this week for whatever reason I can't deal with it at all

shabbapinkfrog · 07/03/2011 21:07

I reckon all our kids are together. The older ones looking after the little 'uns. They will, hopefully, be giving that God bloke hell in heaven!! I have no doubt our Matty will have found a big tigger suit by now and our Gareth will be tutting at him and raising his eyebrows!!

travellingwilbury · 07/03/2011 21:08

I get angry too , I think we have every right to get angry sometimes especially at people who are muppets and don't respect our children the way they should .
