We are so so. Lots going on as usual, No more hospital for a while i hope! That really took it out of me. Wilf is back at school but fortnightly boarding instead of weekly which is easier.

Fortnightly sounds like a plan , especially in this weather . I am so over the snow now . I do love it but I hate not being able to drive .

shabbapinkfrog · 13/01/2010 10:51

LF - yes she has had a really, really tough time. She makes me LOL because she always fights the 'underdogs' corner and is very straight with her opinions LOL....I am guessing that underneath all that she is a bit of a softie but dont tell her I said that!!!

Hi Lottie

Many many congratulations Dee I love the name, and what a bonny weight! Am so happy for you

hazygirl · 13/01/2010 15:58

many congratulations dee,what a size ,im thrilled ,so fantastic .
my dd1 phoned this morning ,didnt sleep much and woke up in sweat ,she says my grandma,who she met when little,keeps coming in her dreams and telling her ,its a boy,scan says otherwise,its a girl,i dont know what to say,i know shes desperate for her son back,and wondered if anyone has had experience like this,
we will love and cherish any child,but im so confused at moment,and know you girls will help us out,i do wish she would join us here,but goes on another forum,thanks girl.
big hugs dee ,congratulations and give him a cuddle from us

shelleylou · 13/01/2010 16:07

lovely name dee.

Hazy, a lot depends on whether your dd1 believes in that sort of thing. I could be your grandma telling her that or the meaning of the dream isn't as clear cut as it looks. Possibly your grandma telling her that her son is fine and its ok he knows hes not forgotton. As you said it could be wanting her son back. Its so hard to know how to interpret dreams or if our mind just playing out desires. I hope this makes sense.

shabbapinkfrog · 13/01/2010 16:33

Oh Hazy that is difficult. Part of me thinks it is her deep longing for Jayden back. Did you say she had a scan? That rules twins out if she has Just be there for her love - like I know you always are.

hazygirl · 13/01/2010 20:30

hi ,shes had two scans ,first they said this is his spine etc,so thought it was boy ,next scan says a girl.
i saw a spirtualist ,who told us it was going to be a boy born within two years ,but be total opposite of jayden,dark hair and skin,so im confused because everything else she said was spot on.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 14/01/2010 13:20

Will go and have a peek Dee. I loves a good birth story

FM - I hope it goes ok with Ross today. I know what you mean about it being difficult.

C would have been starting school in Sept this year, but I'll be watching his little playmates go instead. I remember when we were transferred home for the last time, I looked out of the window of the ambulance and nearly said to the nurse 'and that's the school that C will be going to'. Then reality kicked in and I realised he would never be going there.

frasersmummy · 14/01/2010 17:36

school regisration does he have any brothers or sisters.....

emmmmm

come back here .. env health people put a note through my door telling of great rat parties under my gas inlet pipe spent hours on the phone trying to get someone to take responsibility and sort shoddy workmanship...finally tracked the culprits down who said - ehh oops dont think we did that installation right - you dont say

then had to take ross for his mmr booster.. I'm such a wuss about needles

so all in all I am exhausted, have a thumping headache and just waiting for dh to come home in approx 90 mins so i can retire to bed
