V irritated - I posted last night and the 'puter ate it.
On holiday in the very lovely and very sunny Lake district - this will be the first time ever that I have come back from here with a tan. Hurrah!

No time for personals as my dh will not be happy if I spend all night on here as they have free wi fi!!

But having a lovely time - DH and older DC's were canoeing on windermere earlier today . I was on the shore with a stroppy BB and a bit jealous as the boats looked more fun. BB was stroppy as she wanted to walk and the grass was damp - she started walking yesterday and now doesn't want to do anything else!

Enjoy the sun everyone

Quick post from phone, work v busy no time for posting but wanted to send support through the ether to 4ever for tomorrow x

Promise catch up before Friday, my pfb has croup at the grand old age of five so is tucked up in bed beside me as I type, his breathing sounds so sore.. Louey sorry to hear croup has hit loueyville it's made how these viruses sweep the country

Morning!

blue poor Isaac Sad, hope he gets better soon. Luke doesn't seem too bad and didn't wake up with the cough last night so hopefully he's on the mend.

4ever what time is your scan? Am around this morning for hand holding.

lbm I'm so pleased you are having such nice weather and well done to BB for graduating to todderhood. All these little babies are now walking - eek!

vjay better to be prepared for the conversation when it comes. I guess it's something that will evolve over time as cjay has more questions.

cupcake you are right of course and I did read your post and go off and eat a large piece of cake Blush. The exercise is not just about losing the baby blubber but also about making me feel better, which it did until yesterday evening....

Had a fairly disastrous evening. In the space of 15 minutes from getting home from the childminders, Isaac managed to drop my iPhone and smash the screen, wee all over the bedroom carpet while I was doing his therapy and then while I was cleaning that up, escaped downstairs and took Oscar out his car seat and dropped him on the floor. I think he dropped him because he heard me coming and he knows he's not supposed to pick him up. It was only from a small height and O seemed fine but it gave me such a fright. DH came home in the middle of all this with me in tears. And then to top it all, I put some grated cheese on my beans for dinner and only after eating it did I realise it was mouldy despite it coming from an unopened packet which was still in date. Yuck!

loueytb3 · 26/07/2011 06:19

And meant to say cupcake molars are just horrible - poor J. Hope you managed to get the shopping done in the end.

4everhopeful · 26/07/2011 08:56

Oh louey what a night of it Confused not surprised you ended up in tears!

lbm huge yay to babybelle for walking Grin

cupcake poor Jude, Summers molars have been threatening to come through for weeks, wish they would just break through, she was poorly yesterday with a temperature so that added to my anxiety greatly, little sausage seems better today thank god!

Blue sympathies for your poor wee boy with croup too...

That's just taken me forever to type on this new phone Hmm all that I've got time left to say now is thanks fof the hands lovely thoughtful ladies, i need them, the inevitable wobbles are here... scan is at 12pm. Confused Will try and get out to tx some of you asap xxxxxx

bakingqueen · 26/07/2011 10:15

4ever Will look forward to your good news later (positive thoughts see! Smile)
Barbie Gorgeous photo on FB of DH and Dolly Smile
Louey Thank goodness you didn't get stuck in a traffic jam expressing Wink glad you finally came to a decision that's right for you. Been laughing at your status updates on FB re the shred Grin Sounds as if you having a day from hell today, poor little Oscar I'm sure he's fine after his little incident, but sounds like Isaac is pushing his boundaries somewhat!
Mermaid Hope you are having a wonderful time camping
Cupcake Anything you want to tell us?? Grin Priceless finding that quote from Louey Smile
Vjay Good luck with telling Cjay, you are so well informed and such a good Mum that I'm sure he'll feel very supported and loved and not have any doubts etc.
LBM Enjoy your holiday and fantastic news on the walking - they're all at it now Smile

Ewan has been in his big boys bed for a week now, to be fair the transition has been easy, he's been going down well, just not staying asleep but he did that in his cot anyway so no change there! Took him to doctors this morning as this last ear infection has been hanging around for a while, they have said not to take him unless he has a temperature, which he has this morning, doctor did say she's never seen such an angry red little ear before, poor little sausage, got a delayed prescription for anti-b's will see how he is tomorrow, but he's currently lying on the sofa watching Nemo (for the 100th time) which is not like him at all Sad Got hold of Birmingham childrens hospital this morning when we got back and spoke to two lovely ladies who have got him booked in for 17th August to see a consultant. At last! Just hope the waiting list for the op isn't too long Hmm as he seems to be in constant pain Sad
At the weekend DH and I were teaching him to say new words, so we asked him to say my name which was fine, then we asked him to say DH's name (Chris) it kept coming out as "dick" which I thought was hysterically funny Grin not sure DH thought the same though Wink

VJay · 26/07/2011 11:20

Buddha your post has just made me cry, I feel like the crappiest mum at the mo. We've not said anything to cjay yet as he hasnt asked anymore, but I'm worried about ajay too he's not saying much at all maybe 3 or 4 words if that and gabbles away in his own language just like cjay did.
I will pull myself together, just feeling crap today.

4ever it's your job to cheer me up with some fab news Smile good luck sweetie.

Buddha have now just finished reading your post and did laugh at him calling his daddy dick Grin you are a wonderful brave mum Smile parenting is the biggest emotional ride ever!!!!

BuddhaBelly · 26/07/2011 11:38

Vjay I'm glad I made you cry (in the nicest possible way) if it helped you to feel a little less like a crappy mum which you are so not! Even if Ajay develops sn in the same way as Cjay it is not down to anything you have or haven't done, your children are still as gorgeous and well loved as any child could be, it just might be that they are wired up a little differently. You may well just be over sensitive but if you are right what better Mummy could Cjay ask for as you've been there done that already so you know exactly what to expect and how to deal with it! Keep smiling Smile

VJay · 26/07/2011 12:36

Thanks Buddha and I am over sensitive I hold my hands up to that, you see I had no idea with cjay, missed it completely so now I am probably over compensating.

4ever thinking of you, hope your little bean is waving at you right now Smile xx

oh 4ever I am so so sorry :( sending you the hugest squishy hug, come and talk when you are ready, go easy on yourself... xxxxxxx

MummysLittleSunbeams · 26/07/2011 21:34

Oh 4ever I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. I was told by Neeko today & I just had to end my self-imposed exile to come back & give you a hug. I'm sure you are holding that little girl of yours very tightly tonight.

I've had some major stresses of my own recently & my little Kitty is facing an mri scan under general anesthetic as they have found a birth defect nine months on from being born. Anyway I'm not going to go on about that tonight. I'll be back tomorrow. xxx

littlebellsmum · 26/07/2011 22:05

4ever So sorry to hear this, so sorry for the three of you. Hope Summer is keeping you strong xxxx

barbie1 · 27/07/2011 06:35

I don't know what to say 4ever. I'm sorry about my text yesterday, I hope you don't think I was trying to be insensitive. I wish you and your dh all the strength and love in the world to enable to you recover and get through what will no doubt be dark days. I really feel terrible, I know whatever I write in the coming months will be hard for you as we should of been hand holding all the way to the end. Please tell me to shut up at any time ok?

I will catch up soon, was going to write a big text and let you know news from our end but it doesn't seem right now. Big hugs to all that need them, emmsys will get through all this together x

VJay · 27/07/2011 07:31

Thank youall so much for your amazing support and sympathies, i can't tell you how much your tx, posts and kind words really helped.. Id had an awful feeling we wouldn't make our booking in apt, Dh had the afternoon off thankfully, but id been apprehensive to plan anything for after. It was wierd cos i just felt emotionless before the scan instead of the normal anxiety, and i had the image of her saying it was bad news.. When we got in there i was just watching Dhs face, there was no smile, i know to the second how long it takes to get the image up, so when the sonographer still hadn't said anything i just knew and said its not good is it? She said I'm just having a really good look, but as i said, i knew. Dh was standing holding Summer and just looked at me and shook his head.. Sad She took the camera out and said sorry, i said i wanted to see, she asked if i wanted the camera back in rather than a still image, and i did, so i saw my little tiny angel baby just still with its tiny arms by its sides, and no flickering heart... Sad She let me take a picture, wierd as that may sound.. We were both so numb, we could barely speak on that drive home.. Luckily Summer was due her nap so when we got in, we just sat on the sofa feeling like we had been hit by a train, i hadn't cried til that point, Dh had, in the hospital chapel afterwards, but we sat on that sofa, mostly in silence, holding hands, while the tears streamed down my face for the whole hour and a hslf Summer slept.. It was then that i got your txs, and they helped it sink in and helped me grieve.. It was your kind words and sympathies that let me get it out..

So here we are again, i never wanted to feel like this again, its 2 and. a half yrs since my last miscarriage .. I'm just so sad for my tiny lost baby, i hope it didn't hurt.. Our lost dreams, again.. To know we have 5 babies in heaven is so heartbreaking, but at least they have each other, and thank god we have our amazing precious miracle Summer..
