Rainbow babies- for all of us holding, pregnant with and trying for our rainbows. While remembering all our darling angels

[Moominsarescary]

Hoping the thread brings us luck and that soon we will all be holding our rainbows xx

wtw I am sending so many positive thoughts your way and DH keeps asking about you. He says that Rosa or Emma go well with K and E. Bless him.

Just a quickie to say all the best to wtw for tomorrow.
I can't wait to hear from you.xx

Hi I've been lurking on this thread for a bit and I'm not sure that this is the right time to properly introduce myself (I will though soon )but I wanted to say a huge GOOD LUCK to whatevertheweather for tomorrow. I can only imagine how you must be feeling but remember that you'll have your beautiful little one by this time tomorrow and she'll be safe held tight in your arms. Thinking of you and little Erin. Xx

wtw sending much love, hope, excitement and good wishes for tonight and for tomorrow! Can't wait to hear all about her.

Sorry to be a bit AWOL. We've moved in, O2 have finally sorted out our broadband, and DH has fixed my laptop, huzzah! Tis fab to be properly online again. I have missed you all.

Reading back, wtw it looks like you have had a horrible time of it with the illness and hospital, but this pg can now be measured in hours remaining, thank God, it is nearly complete xx

A massive congratulations to August, and I love the name Adam. It was always my hypothetical baby boy name, but DH's was always Thomas. Agree with everyone else - i understand the guilty feelings you've had, they are "normal" in our weird normal, but there is nothing to be guilty about. I bet Jacob is thrilled with his little brother x

Welcome to poppet. So sorry to meet you here, but glad you've found us. I have been lurking round these threads for quite some time now. I had DD1, Bobbie, in October 2010, she was born sleeping after a toxoplasmosis infection at 20 weeks. DD2 Freya was born Aug 2011 and is currently snoring next to me.

I have missed too much to name check you all without writing an insane essay, but I have read all that I missed and sending love, hugs, tears and joy in various directions at various times. I'm so proud to know you all, you are amazing.

Can you believe it, it is Freya's first birthday next Tuesday and we are having her party on Saturday. I can't believe how fast that has gone, and how far she's come from such utter helplessness. She's a bit poorly atm and so the nights are diabolical just now and we are v v tired and hoping for all our sakes she feels better soon!

The new house is fab in the end and the garden seems to be a bit of a wildlife magnet. There are always a couple of rabbits in it (which prob means about 100 live here!) and we get deer in a couple of times a day, usually early morning, which is captivating. The cats are totally freaked out by them

I realised yesterday it was 2 years exactly from Bobbie's 12 week scan. Happy memories finally, it made me smile to remember her antics (she did a lovely jig and then mooned us ) and to remember our innocent excitement and how we walked round sainsburys afterwards in a stunned daze buying celebratory tasty foods for dinner. I'm glad we couldn't have known what was coming, and had the unjaded faith in things going right to have really enjoyed her whilst we had her. Love you, special girl xx

Hi firsttobed I remember your thread, how are you?

I've packed my hospital bag, getting very nervous now. Will be glad when it's over, hopefully they will do the surgery early so I can go home tomorrow afternoon

Just popping in to wish whatever all the luck in the world for tomorrow. I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight (before your little baby girl is keeping you up all night). I can't wait to see your birth announcement! I will be thinking of you. X

Moomins- I hope you are not too nervous, and that the op goes well. X

Big waves to everyone else.

Sending love and best wishes for tomorrow wtw - hope it goes smoothly x very excited to hear the news x
moomins also good luck
fan hoping for a bfp for you...
Too your speech sounds perfect, prob not v helpful but I think linking Maia's name to Thea being a star is lovely - If anything I think if you just say what you want to say and not worry about how others might feel it lessens any awkwardness and kind of lets people know its ok to talk about when they might be worrying about saying something in case it upsets you. Hope it's a lovely day for you. Maia is really cute btw
kleine well done on getting to the shops - sounds a bit patronising but it's not meant to... I just remember how hard it was for me, worried about bumping into people I knew and having to explain or worse

• being ignored because people don't know what to say. And yes, trying not to burst into tears. It's hard and takes a lot of courage just to get back to doing normal stuff.

HU-MUNGOUS HUGS for whatever and moomins tomorrow. xx

Hi spilt! Thanks somehow missed your post (on phone). Best wishes to you in yr new home and to Freya... Wow, nearly one?!

Another one just quickly popping in before bed to send so much love to wtw and moomin for tomorrow - two very different days for you but both so important. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Update us when you can! Xxx

Quick post as knackered ; a big bundle of love & good wishes to Whatever can t wait to read you'd good news xxxx
Moomins good luck xxxx
BlIzy hope u start to pick up soon...
Love to all, too hot to work xxxxx

Hello ladies
I am sorry that I have not posted for quite some time but I have been following the threads. Usually, by the time I have made my way through all of the posts I am too tired to post anything myself!!! Have also been a little bit down though I feel ashamed to say so when I have my gorgeous rainbow baby and there are some of us still trying to achieve that. Keep reminding myself that we had Samuel, moved house and dh started his own business all at the same time, of course I will feel drained.
Anyway, just want to wish wtw all the luck in the world for tomorrow, your angel will be watching over you for sure xx
Massive congratulations to august, Adam is also one of the names from my list, gorgeous.
Sending love also to blizy,fan, angel, too, miasmum, spilt and blue, my wonderfully supportive friends from the old threads and warm wishes to all of the ladies that have joined since I was last here. Also sorrow for the very reason that led you this way.
I hope to be around a bit more often again if you will have me back

Predictably I can't sleep Just lying here feeling her kick and squirm and feeling calm-ish!

wtw not long now. Hope you are not freaking out to much. She will be here so soon and you get to have your cuddles.

I'm not having a great time AF appeared before bed last night four days early. Pretty upsetting, I cried myself to sleep. It really feels like this will never happen.

Oh fan, so sorry... I really am. Can you have a quiet gentle evening with DH tonight? Take good care of yourself. Your time WILL come xxx

Thanks august not patronising at all. It IS hard.

Hi spilt thanks for the welcome. So glad you have Freya now, though so sorry about Bobbie. Is her name short for Roberta?

too just a thought: after welcoming people, explaining re names, you could say something like 'of course the person who we would most like to have here today - and who we're sure would have loved to be here, too - is Maia's older sister Thea' and then say anything else about her that you wanted to.

Will obviously check back in later today to see if there's news!

Wtw, thinking of you! Hope you are enjoying newborn snuggles by now.

Moomin, hope everything went well with you too!

Thank you all for ideas re speech - will have to work on it. I like the No Matter What idea, Blue, but think it might be a bit obscure for some of my relatives.

Fan, hope you're okay this morning. Stupid AF! You and Blizy have had such a hard time with this - I log on every time hoping and praying for a BFP for you both. It will come and you will get there! Love to you both.

Spilt, Freya nearly 1? Wow! Happy Birthday to her!

Hello, so lovely to hear from you! How's Samuel?

wtw had her rainbow girl

Absolutely over the moon to announce the birth of Holly Elizabeth at 10.42am. Weighing 6lbs 6ozs. She is utterly utterly perfect and worth every second of anxiety. Post more later. Love to you all - thank you for getting me through xxxxxx

Huge congratulations whatever! I am so happy and excited for you all, I'm sure Erin will be so proud of her baby sister and of her mummy for getting through the past 9 months. Welcome to the world Holly Elizabeth!

How marvellous, Wtw! Holly Elizabeth is a lovely name. So, so, so pleased for you!

wtw congratulations! Welcome to the world Holly! Such great news and has cheered me up. Can't wait to hear her story.

split and wow to Freya almost 1! Your garden sounds amazing, I would just sit out all day.

razz Good to hear from you, please don't feel ashamed of feeling down. Of course you still miss your little Angel, to be honest I would be a wee bit worried if you didn't feel sad sometimes. I hope S is doing well.

too Sorry I have no advice about the speach, not my forte at all. I hope you decided on it soon though.

fan I am so sorry, no other words really, as I know how heartbreaking and soul destryoing it is when AF turns up. Sending you huge hugs. x

moomins Hope you are doing well.

waves to kleine, blue mias, little,first and everyone else my sieve llike brain has forgot!

wtw just wanted to say, Erins stone is gorgeous! Beautiful, really stands out.
