[rodeo1]

Here we go all!

x x x

cp3 - I'm so sorry to hear your news, I just hope that i'm as brave as you are should anything happen. The idea of the rose tree is just beautiful and you are in my thoughts. Let us know how you are getting on please and always here for you even if i never know the right things to say or can't be much help..Lots of love..hugs..and more hugs ((HUG))) xx

Oh CP3, what can I say, I can't begin to express how sorry I am or to say that I even begin to understand what you are going through at the moment. I can only send my sympathies and my best wishes to you and your dh. You are being terribly brave about it all and I'm glad you feel strong enough to have another go sooner rather than later.

The names are lovely, really nice choices and I think the rose bush is a really nice thing to do as the flowers will remind you every time you see them.

Look after yourself now and get back in the right frame of mind for bding again I hope you have lots of fun practicing and that you have happy news for us all soon.

Please don't disappear off the thread if you can bear to stick with us as you've already become a friend and we'd all be sorry to lose you.

Besides who else if going to be able to give the wisdom of parenting three kids already!!!

Awww sweetheart!
Cp3- I am so sorry hun. how awful for you and your family.
I'm so impressed with the hospital though. How lovely and they're gorgeous names. Loved the idea of the rosebush too. I've read before how they help families because they have something pretty to look at and a place to remember.
Re what Beks said. Please, please try to stay on this thread if you can bear it. You've become a good friend and would be a shame to lose you. I'm glad you're on the mc thread aswell. It's good to get support from people that are going through the same thing especially at the same time.
Take care. If you need us we're always here. xxxx

Lol. Just read the bottom bit of your posting Beks. Yes Cp3, we need your parenting skill advice!!!

CP3 - so sorry to read about your terrible experience and the loss of your baby

Hellkat don't knock it I need all the advice I can get, my ds has turned into spawn of satan since he turned 3 at the beginning of March. I think I've skipped ten years and got myself a teenager.

Tex was right about the new description threenager, he's a nightmare all attitude and cheek but the biggest problem is I can see myself looking right back at me when I'm telling him off - it's really very funny but totally doing my head in at the moment and I'm wondering a) why I've got myself into this a second time round & b) will it be better to have another boy, which I might just understand a little bit or a girl which could heaven forbid turn into a mimi me!!!

After reading your going out threads last night I've spurred myself into action & we're going out with friends tonight, mum & dad are sitting with ds, only thing is I feel as sick as a dog and look twice as rough - what an attractive picture that paints hee hee

Have a nice evening everyone, hope the rest of you are all hanging on in there.

Cp3 im so sorry, but i think the idea about the rose bush is lovely.In the hospital where i used to work we had a memorial book like the one you described.Many parents found some comfort in the fact that the memory of there child lived on not just for them, but for every one who read the book. Like the others said stay in touch
lots love twinkle

Beksmum know what u mean about 3yr olds with attitude.My best friends 3yr old daughter said to her when she said it was time for bed answered "talk to the hand cos the face's not listening mummy!!!!" mummy was not happy.
But it was very funny

Twinkle that's classic, I'm sure mummy was not a happy bunny about that one, I know I wouldn't be.

Just had a really nice night out with friends in a Greek Taverna, lovely food, although now feeling very sick and great company - note to self must go out more often instead of vegging on the sofa!

Going out for the day with whole family on Sunday, any suggestions for a good day out in Kent with a 6 year old and two 3 year olds? Thinking Brighton or Eagle Heights but would welcome other suggestions.

Beks- Glad you had a great time. Oh how I wish my mum would babysit! I miss sitting in a lovely quiet pub playing pool with dp.
Did giggle at the "threenager" comment too. If it's any consolation, my soon to be 13 yr old ds1 has been trying my patience of late. Picture Harry Enfields' "Kevin the teenager". He'll be fab most of the time then acts worse than me with pmt!
I say brighton sounds good. You can't go wrong with a beach. Children normally amuse themselves there especially if you can find them rockpools or have a shell collecting contest. (yep I did all that with ds1 and seemed to work )
Ds2 is determined to fit himself into tiny gaps between furniture that he can't get out of then lo and behold yells for mum. Better go rescue him. Have fun all.

Hello everyone, guess you're all out enjoying the sun. I still don't venture out, work is enough at the moment, hopefully soon. Am looking fwd to a lazy picnic in Hyde Park in the better weather
Hopefully all our scans bring positive news tomorrow, fingers croseed.
Has anyone else had a craving or liking for a food they don't usually eat/like?? I had chicken for the first time last night in absolute years, never eat fried chicken, but i had 2 whole pieces last night and for the first time in ages it all stayed down! Amazing!
Anyway...my diaries could go on forever, off to sit in the garden xxx

Chacha, glad you managed to keep your dinner down and it is strange how you want things you don't normally eat. I've got a thing for sour things at the moment which isn't normally me.

Had a fun day in the park with my dh, ds, my parents and my brother and his wife & kids, the weather was lovely and needless to say the park was full.

Took bread to feed the ducks but they'd had so much food they weren't even taking any notice of the kids bombarding them with bread, my ds then went round saying "come on dozy ducks" at the top of his voice much to the amusement of other people!

Going to cuddle up on the sofa and watch a film with dh this evening, can't decide wheter to watch Hero or Layer Cake, I'll let you know what either was like tomorrow.

Good luck with your scans tomorrow girls.
Have a nice evening and a non stressful day tomorrow all.

I loved Hero...awwwwww! Loved it!
I just watched Man on Fire, i cried a lot - oh my gosh! sob..sob..
Becksmum..your ds sounds hilarious..LOL ;O

Hi Girls,

Nice to hear about your good days. Had a nice day today too, been to Dovedale this afternoon with children in the lovely weather, and trekked all the way to the top of Thorpe Cloud! How impressive!

I thought going up was bad but coming down was worse, kept thinking what would happen if I broke both ankles! (Broke shin bone last year which I wouldn't recommend, I now have bionic leg)

Just watched 24 (v.exciting/jack is sooo gorgeous!) and nip/tuck, now ready for bed. Well done for having a good night out Beksmum! heard a song on the radio earlier that reminded me of a good night out with friends earlier in the year. Will have to wait a good while for another booze fuelled session. Ah well!

Speak to you all in the morn x x x

Morning all, very impressive Rodeo, where did the energy come from?! Haven't had a booze fuelled evening in a very long while now - why do you always want something more when you can't have it? Perhaps when we've all delivered and given up breastfeeding or whatever we should all me up somewhere convenient around the country for a girls night out. I'm sure we'll all have earnt it by then and it will do our partners good to lose us for a night!

Watched Layer Cake in the end last night, thougth it was going to be an easy watch but you actually had to concentrate it was good though. Will watch Hero next weekend now.

Chacha you're right my ds is funny and to make things worse he's starting drama classes next weekend so I hate to think what he'll be like in a few weeks time

Have a good day all.

Sounds like a good plan Beks!
Glad to hear everyone had a great weekend. Nice and relaxed here after a wonderfully lazy weekend. Did the garden yesterday as the weather was so glorious (shame today's looking crappy though).
Wow Rodeo! Where did you get the oomph for that? Mind you, think something was in the air yesterday. Ds1, ds2 and I were going to jump on a bus and go wherever it took us (probably to one the surrounding little villages). Unfortunately, they did'nt run on a Sunday, so went into town and bought ds2 lots of summer stuff! Hopefully, we'll be planning on a river walk the next weekend ds1 is'nt at his dads.
Good luck for your scans girls! Got to wait until later on for ours (and get bloods done, how lovely!).

Good luck this afternoon Hellkat, I hate having blood taken and have been told it's like getting blood out of a stone, but then again I did used to work in Personnel so what can anyone expect!

Lol!!!
Thankyou hun! Will post when we get back.

cp3,

sorry to hear your news. The white rose tree sounds lovely and is a fitting memorial.

the hospital i attended when I had my m/c were not so well prepared so my memorial is lodged firmly in my heart.

Anyway, like you, we started to ttc the following month, i did not wait for my first a/f and here I am! Good luck and take care x

beks - hero is indeed a good film, and so lovely to look at.

thought i'd keep you all up to date. Have been to the hospital today for a pregnancy test and possible scan. The test was negative as expected which they said means it was complete miscarriage, so there's nothing major left. They also recommended waiting for 2 AF's before trying again!!! i can't wait that long. Why do we all get different messages from different professionals. They didn't say why. I'm waiting for 1 AF then we're back to it. We're having trouble stopping ourselves from trying now. i'm sure if I said yes my DH would agree. I must have more will power. Can't wait to be starting a due in feb thread.

Ok all here goes.
Really bad news here I'm afraid. Our baby died apparently at 8 weeks. So at the moment we're just waiting for nature to take its course.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I guess we had a feeling something was up.
Don't worry girls, I'll still pop in (after all that's the advice I gave).
Diddle,cp3- Is it alright if I join you on the other thread?
Take care girls! Eat loads, get fat and have wonderfully healthy pg's!!!
Loads of love to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh hellkat, so so sorry to read your post.Am thinking abou you. takecare laylasmum xx

Thankyou.
How was your scan?

Everything was fine for us fortunately dates stay the same. Hope you are bearing up ok ! xxx
