[jazzyjenbo]

For ladies expecting very late Maybees or Junebugs 2015

Well my mw appointment was very quick as predicted... Just the usual bp/urine check, listened into baby, booked in again at 28 weeks now.

In other news i'll b lighting a candle tonight to remember my little one lost to mmc... Its a year today since i had that awful scan and i dont think there is a dat that goes by that i dont think 'what if'... But life goes on and i now sit here 21+ weeks.

Lovely little boys for buba and phryn so exciting.

Thinking of you jazzy, anniversaries are hard. X

The due date was hard but we took the kids to garden centre and they both chose a plant for our garden.
It just seems sadder in away as that day was awful but the last year has flown! And bitter sweet as obviously if that one hadnt gone then this one wouldnt exist. Remembering the scan and the words is the hardest.
But life has to move on and lots of us on here are proof that Beautiful babies come after such sadness.

Thinking of you Jazzy.

Good news here - booked in for appointment with a specialist for a foetal echo at 11am tomorrow.

No complaints about the NHS here.

Great news that you don't have long to wait for your appt buba.

Glad they are seeing you so quickly bubalou x

jazzy a lovely idea to mark the anniversary. December and January are all the anniversaries for my Parents, I find them hard enough but couldn't ever imagine how hard an anniversary for a child would be

pregnantandengaged I haven't done a baby book, but the day we found out I was pregnant they got a nickname of JB, so we ve set up an email account in that name with what will be their surname. Each time we have been to doctors/scans etc we have sent that email account an email adding pics of scans as attachments. I think losing both my Parents has taught me how fragile life is, I wanted to make sure that should anything ever happen to me that all the details about before they were born would be somewhere. The idea is to write emails each day, short or long and on their 18th birthday give them the account details so they have their unique life story. I know to many it seems daft, but also being adopted means a lot of my birth details etc are not known and I would like my daughter to know it all should she want.

I started a baby journal but will all the stress and worry, it kind of went by the wayside. Must start again, although for the last few days, I'm felt a bit down and worried, not sure why.

bubs - echo what others have said. doesn't stop the worry but still fingers crossed it's all okay.

Yay for boy news though (on both counts).

Jazzy - what a nice way to remember.

buba glad to hear that you are being seen tomorrow.

jazzy thinking of you, anniversarys are so hard.. my mmc baby would have been 2 in March I still think of that baby often but time does ease the pain I will never forget that baby but life does move on and as you said without losing that one this little one wouldnt have existed, I am so gratefult to be pg again but there will always be a little part of me that will mourn for the baby I never got to meet. Hope your doing ok

I do that aswell elizabeth for my kids when i remember... Dont forget to log into the email account occasionally though aswell as some companies hav a nasty habit of deactivating accounts (and deleting old emails)... Mite be worth backing up sumhow as things are bound to change alot in the nxt 18 yrs.

In regards to prams am i wasting my money buying a new pram? My sister seems to think so and said i should just take a second hand one. Now i dont mind second hand things far from it but a pram is the one thing i would like to buy new. Am i being unreasonable?

That's a lovely idea Elizabeth. Though I do agree with Jazzy.. you never know what could happen so it's a good idea to back up e.g. they could go out of business and the account could close down, or they could delete the email/account, or we simply might not have email in 18 years.. you never know! I remember when I was 4 and it was hard to imagine anything other than cassette tapes and here we are with MP3!

I would like to write letters at certain milestones.. always thought that was a nice idea, and then put them in a sealed envelope, not to be opened again until he/she is 18 or something.

Tori I think that's the same journal I have :) I'm enjoying updating it.. it';s good because I don't have to remember to update daily since it's a weekly journal :)

jazzy and pregnantandengaged yes thought about making sure to log in every now and again. I am going to print off a years worth and have them bound so there's a book version and email version. Plus it will remind my OH and I of all the little things we are likely to forget in time.

So many boys! The group I was in with dd ended up having quite a few more girls than boys, guess some months it goes one way more than the other!

Bubalou, glad they are seeing you so quickly. I think it's fab they can find these things out in utero now, and monitor and treat accordingly - lots of positive vibes for you and bump.

That is really good tori. Its a travel system that id like to get ideally

bubalou. I missed your posting when I scan read, really impressed at the speed you are getting seen by specialists.

Totally unbaby related but having a duvet day, watching first series of Broadchurch, opened a bag of Walkers Crisps and found this heart shaped crisp so sharing the love :)

Thanks Elizabeth.

Yes I'm super impressed too.
