Hoping this thread brings us all luck and hope xxx

blizy I drove back from Skye once in one go, but this is going to be epic. We will be going up there on the saturday staying over night then driving back straight after the marathon on the sunday. Im going to have to take monday off from work. Also DH doesnt drive so its all down to me. Its cheaper than flying though. Can you beleive one of the only flights he could find went to Amsterdam first then to Inverness.

fan couldn't you drive up to the Midlands or so on the Friday night? Stay somewhere (we've got a spare bed if I kick DH out and take him back in ) and then drive the rest on the Saturday?

Offt, that's a bit of a detour! Was there no flights to Aberdeen, he could have got the bus or train to Inverness?

I know blizy he gets frustrated at travel plans. I might have a look myself for him. But if (we probably will) drive up then I think hes working on the saturday morning, but he might get it off. But he might not be able to get the friday off, so we shall be travelling up saturday morning i think. Its still up in the air. We shall see. He booked this a few months ago then said he wasnt going to go, but then last week he turns round and says he wants to do it now. So means we dont have a lot of time to save the money. Men! Thanks for the offer of a bed for the night, I will keep it in mind.

Just to say green I don't know if you're watching the opening ceremony but when GOSH came up I was in tears and am thinking of you and Merryn x

Well, I didn't expect to be sitting crying at the Olympics.... Thanks POPPET, it's nice to know someone else thought of our little girl too. X

I also cried. All the photos of loved ones, some just little babies and children...

I also shed a little tear thought of you and Merryn green.

Amazing show, really enjoyed it, really showed the best of british.

Green- I I too had a wee cry and thought if you and Merryn.

The ceremony was fantastic, I loved it. The cauldron is amazing and I particularly like the meaning behind it, with all the nations coming together. Danny Boyle did the country proud! Sorry for any typos:spelling, I'm struggling to keep my eyes open, and on that note good night ladies. X

Must watch opening ceremony today heard it was good... I was out on the lash from 6 ... Good night had by all.... Having a mani/ pedi today can t wait desperatly need my minx doing as been using cheapie shop bought versions that last about 3 days!!!!
Back to bed now , hopefully, if Phebe-phoo sleeps ... Long may the glorious weather continue cxxx

Still can't get over how great that was last night.

So looking forward to todays events, got to go out and get a wedding pressie this morning (going to my friends wedding receptions this evening) and then got to come back and watch the road cycling. You watching it mecha?

Thanks ladies!

My mum goes home on Monday, and DP is off between now and then, so easier times ahead hopefully... She hasn't even asked to go to Merryns place on the river. I just don't understand. The way I feel about my kids is so totally different. I feel so sad for her that she has gone her whole life without having what I have with them, what a waste. Anyway, today is sunny and glorious and we are going to the seaside, oldest DS has his dressing removed and is allowed in the sea, so that should be fun.
What plans do you lot have this WE, are you getting out in the sun? aNGEL, sounds like your going to have a lovely day! (bit jealous)!

green I also thought of you and Merryn! x

oh fan have you soon our new emoticon

I too had a good cry at the opening ceremony! And also at Mohammed Ali :( So sad to see a great man brought so low. I don't think he even knew where he was.

We are flicking between the road racing and the dressage today. Horse and bike mad household! Really have my fingers crossed for Cav today. Go Manx Missile! How about you fan, any tips?

Thank you for saying nice things about my boy. I don't get to show his pictures off much, I think people find them upsetting to look at. I haven't shared any of facebook, because I have a lot of work colleagues and aquantences on there so I tend to self edit rather heavily. But I am so proud of him and I love him! I knew you would understand. Klein he was about 600grammes when he was born. They got him into the incubator so fast they didn't really have time to weigh him so had to estimate.

I have been really brave this week and have been hanging out with two babies born round the same time Dex was. And it has really gotten so much easier. I am beginning to actually rather like them. It helps that they both have kind and considerate Mum's who are wonderful and thoughtful towards me.

Enjoy your days Angel and Green

Love to everyone. xx

mecha I think Cav's going to do it. I can't spread myself thin enough with all these sports, love rowing, swimming, eventing, cycling and gymnastics and they are all on today. So I have decided to watch the cycling for now love the new emoitcon. I'm just too giddy!

fan you make me laugh! And laughs are appreciated at the moment, so thank you
mecha sorry you can't share your photos much. It was so lovely to see them. Hadn't thought of there not being time to weigh him - shows how they were giving him the best possible care, of course he had to go in the incubator with minimal delay.
I think you are v brave to be around babies. I really couldn't do it. So glad that your friends are being thoughtful - it does make such a difference doesn't it.

Am watching the cycling until a friend comes round. Hooray for the Olympics to distract us all for a couple of weeks!

Sorry I haven't been around for a while, am finding things hard and thought a break would do me good but it hasn't do I'm back!

I haven't read back yet so I'm not up to date with you all yet, but I hope you're all doing ok.

Will post back when I have caught up!!

Hi elly, I know what you mean about finding things hard. Hope you are ok?

17 months since Zoe was born, how can that be? It still feels like it was last week.

Dh and I are off out into town tonight for his birthday, I'm taking him to a Turkish restaurant, hope it's good!
We are out again tomorrow night for dinner with mil, busy, busy, busy.

15 months yesterday for us too blizy it just doesn't seam possible.

7 months tomorrow since Namcy was born. It doesn't get any easier does it :(

wtw glad you are back home, it must have been sooo scary for you, (((hugs)))

fan & blizy, still with you both, desperately hoping we get out bfps soon.
Am starting the clear blue trial now so fx it helps, we'll see.

Huge congrats august on the safe arrival of Adam, lovely name! Hope you're doing ok.

Saw some friends last wknd who had their baby girl in Apr, but they went in with reduced movements and had EMCS and baby was starved of oxygen when she was born - it was because of what happened to our Nancy that she went to hospital, so I suppose that losing our daughter has helped save her life.

Hi to new ladies, I'm so sorry you have had to find us on here, my dd Constance (Nancy) was born on 29 dec 11 when I went in with reduced movements but she had been starved of oxygen so was really poorly and died on 31 dec when she was just 2 days old.

We have been ttc since we got the all clear from consultant but nothing's happened so far ...

24 weeks today! :) At least when she gets born now, I get a birth certificate...

very excited and getting ready for one of my friends wedding this afternoon :)

Angel just read your post from Saturday and am curious as to what you mean by 'minx'?! Is it a typo? I didn't know you could get shop-bought versions of yr minx
Adam was awake all last night - he's so sweet that even when he does drop off I just sit there gazing at him! He's been asleep now since 6 so rather than wake him I've expressed some milk for him to have when he wakes - my boobs are so sore and engorged but he's feeding beautifully so all well worth it.

Hi ladies Loving the Olympics here too! K and I have been glued to the gymnastics heats - she is desperate to learn how to do all the tricks now - inspire a generation - achieved

Adam sounds so sweet August are you home now? Make sure you do get some rest xx

24 weeks blue yay!! I remember getting there and feeling like I'd reached a good milestone. When are you off to Belgium? Tomorrow?

Hugs Fan Blizy and Elly monthly milestones are so hard. Can't believe our next one will be 1 year.

What a legacy Nancy has left Elly raising awareness is so important xx

Waves to all xx

Dp being a miserable lazy git at the moment. Don't know if it's his way of anxiety coming out but he is seriously pissing me off. I dont ever ask much of him but there's 1 or 2 things in the house/garden I just can't do right now and he just can't seem to be arsed. Grrrr.

wtw yes off to Belgium tomorrow afternoon, our flight is at 7.30pm from Manchester! E is really excited about flying!

We've all had a snooze this afternoon after my friend's wedding, she was stunning! Off to the evening reception soon! :)
