[KleinePoppet]

Oh, huge CONGRATULATIONS to the whole wtw family! And a great big hello&welcome to the beautifully-named Holly Elizabeth too... So pleased for you all Xxx

[Ellypoo]

Hugest Congratulations wtw on the safe arrival of Holly Elizabeth, beautiful name! So so happy for you all xxx Hope you're ok and recover well from the op - take care and enjoy xxx

fan I'm so sorry. Forgive me if i'm posting out of turn, but have you spoken to your GP?

moomins - hope your op went ok and that you are recovering well.

to everyone else.

[AugustMoon]

Yay wtw! So absolutely delighted for you - I'm at soft play place looking like a loony with a huge grin on my face! And beautiful name too. Enjoy

[spilttheteaagain]

Congratulations to the wtw family!! Thrilled for you Welcome you special special baby. A great size too at 37 weeks.

razz lovely to hear from you again, course we'll have you back! It's totally normal to have down days, Thomas is still missing and that grief is ongoing, of course it is. It can live alongside your love for and delight in Samuel without any contradiction. Hope he's doing well and giving you lots of cheeky grins.

moomins I hope you're ok today, was it painful?

fan big cuddles my lovely, I'm so sorry, how utterly shitty xxx

Freya has discarded my debit card for me today somewhere in the town centre. Note to self, do not give a bored and figety baby a wallet to play with when out! Cancelled that and got a new one coming, good job I noticed!

[fanjodisfunction]

ellypoo your not speaking out of turn, I'm not sure what the doctor could do, I must be ovulating to have been pregnant twice since Fi died. I guess I think we have to wait a couple more cycles untill I will see them.

spilt great to hear from you. Naughty Freya, can't believe she's nearly one.

[MiaAlexandrasmummy]

Hooray, fantastico, congratulations whatever!! Holly Elizabeth is a gorgeous name for your rainbow girl. Erin is a big sister!! I cannot tell you how happy I am... xx

fan bad, bad AF. Hope you are having a gentle day.

razz it is better to be honest about your feelings than keep them in. No matter how gorgeous and wonderful Samuel is, you can still miss Thomas. But all the other busy-ness of life also sounds like it is taking its toll.

too I really love the suggestion of Thea welcoming her little sister into the family, along with the rest of us. It tells everyone that all your children are loved, remembered and celebrated.

first hello again, glad you have turned up here.

And a big to everyone else, I have finally finished my Olympic duties. It was fun, but tiring, and while it was really special, I am glad it is over.

[Moominsarescary]

Congratulations wtw xx

Thanks everyone, I've just got home. The stitch went in fine, just have to keep fx now.

Got out of surgery at 1.15, the lovely anaesthetist managed to numb me, but not to the extent that I couldn't feel my legs which was good and meant that I was up and about 4 hours later just waiting to be able to wee.

Tmi but bum and bits still a bit numb which is odd, the pain relief they gave me is wearing off and my tummy is a bit sore, but nothing too bad!

I can't remember if it's this thread or the other I'm on but someone else had a problem with their last spinal like I did, they got this one in no problems! Xx

[fanjodisfunction]

moomins it was me, they stapped me four times then on the fifth got it in but it only numbed one leg. I'm glad it all went well, lots of sticky vibes being sent your way.

[amyboo]

Fantastic news wtw. Such a beatutiful name too.

And glad to hear that it went well today moomins

[Bluetinkerbell]

moomin glad it went well today! Now rest up!

[greengoose]

Really quick shout from Italy... Congratulations WTW!!!! Welcome to the world Holly! Xxxx

Hi to everyone else... Our road trip is going well, the boys are loving it, drove over the alps today and sleeping in Verona tonight then on to Lucca tommorow. Miss home and my dog and alpacas, but Merryn is here in my heart. I collected a pebble from the top of the highest pass in Austria today to throw in her river when we get home. My AF is late, but not preg, so not sure what's going on with the mini bleed two weeks ago. Hmmmm. I just want my cycle to at least give me a chance to ttc...

I miss you lot hugely, which is weird when we don't 'know' each other, or maybe you all know me more than my RL friends now in some ways? Anyway, I'll call in when I can. Love to all. Xxx

[AngelGeorgie]

So happy for you all xxxxx

[razzdazz]

Massive congratulations wtw to you and your family, you all got there, wonderful.
Glad all went well for you today moomins
fan Im so sorry AF claimed you again. When I was trying to concieve (from when dd was 4, she is 9.5 now!!) I would manage to fall pregnant probably once or twice a year so that I guess wasnt really an issue. Holding onto the beans was. I managed to convince my consultant to track me via u/s during my cycle and it was found that I had an irregular endrometrial lining, very thin in places so the poor fertilised eggs had nothing to stick to, hence I would miscarry within days of missed af. Are your af's heavy or light or do they switch between the two?? Hope you dont mind me asking, especially as I have been awol for a bit.
Thank you for the kind words blizy, spilt and miasmum. I truly hope the counseller service can offer you something blizy.
Big, big waves back to you too. How is your gorgeous girl doing??? I think it is a beautiful idea to include Thea in the naming ceromony and I am sure however you decide to do it will be perfect.

I switched Samuel over into his pushchair seat part of my pram today and while of course I am thrilled that he is growing well and healthy part of me was almost sad......that it is going so fast!!! He loved it and sang to everyone that bothered to look when we were out today.

[razzdazz]

crossed posts with you angel. I cant believe it is only 9 weeks!! I can so remember the time leading up to pheb's birth, your weekend away and so on. Almost feels like yesterday x

[Firsttobed]

wtw many many congratulations and welcome to the world Holly Elizabeth.

moomins ouch. Hope you are doing ok there and that that stitch is firmly stuck!

So hello ladies, please may I join you? I know some of you already from a thread earlier this year - and thank you so very much for all your support everyone, you made an extremely difficult time more bearable - and from the bereavement thread. You all sound like a very jolly lot and I reckon that it's good to be positive

I lost my baby boy B in April at almost 22 weeks during pregnancy. Since then we've learnt that we are cursed (!) with a rare genetic problem which means that we have a 1 in 4 chance of recurrence. And I'm pregnant again. We are playing a bit of a waiting game and I'm trying to stick my head in the sand and pretend that it's not happening. La la la (sticks fingers in ears)

[AugustMoon]

Hi first, course you can join! Congratulations - hope all goes well with this pg.
Moomins good news x
Night all - going to have a sneaky peak on fb to see if any pics of holly!

[DiffedAgainDachs]

Really sorry I've been crap and not been here for months. After I lost the twins I never thought I'd actually have a baby and Cammy is now nearly 18 weeks. My heart bleeds for everyone that has to experience what we went through. But hold on to the hope. Xxx

[fanjodisfunction]

first welcome to the thread, but also so sorry that you find yourself here. My daughter Ophelia was stillborn nearly 16 months ago now, and I have suffered two miscarriages since. I hope this thread gives you the support that it has given me.

dachs so great to hear from you, was only thinking about you yesterday. And congratulations on your LO.

[fanjodisfunction]

razz my AF's are a bit irregular when it comes to bleedings, but I think that's to do with the fibroids, and they would make the lining thicker in some places. I am going to wait a few cycles and then go to the doc's and see what they say, ask about my fibroids, maybe ask for another scan to see how they are doing.

[KleinePoppet]

Hi all. Sorry didn't read through properly yesterday - hello firsttobed (and congrats! SO hope all goes well) and razzdazz and dachs. I can't believe how many ladies are on this thread. So sad. But lovely to hear of rainbow babies! Our little daughter E died in June aged two days. We are about to start ttc again.

moomins excellent news that the stitch went in fine. How are you feeling today?
and fan how are you?

AND not forgetting wtw and the lovely little Holly! Hope you've all had a wonderful first 24 hours together. I can't quite imagine the huge mixture of emotions. Thinking of you all and esp of Erin xxx

green I was thinking of you just yesterday! Really glad to hear your trip is going well; we know you're carrying Merryn with you, she'll always be in your heart. I love that you picked up a special pebble for her. Hope your cycle sorts itself asap.

I am (possibly) going to brave the supermarket today. Have just had deliveries up to now. But I am feeling strong even though going there also involves driving the ginormous new car that we bought to have room for a car seat and lots of baby stuff... ...

Waves to all, I hope you have good days x

[Charleymouse]

Whatevertheweather congratulations on the safe arrival of Holly Elizabeth. Absolutely worth it she sounds like a little poppet. Well done as it is daunting and nerve wracking isnt it but as you say so so worth it when you gaze at your beautiful new baby girl.

Love the names by the way as DC1 DearestCat called Holly and DD2 middle name Elizabeth.

Congratulations and enjoy every moment of it. Much love CM

[fanjodisfunction]

wtw how are you doing with your lovely rainbow?

[Mechavivzilla]

A million congrats to WTW! Such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. So glad she is finally here.

Haven't caught up properly, I have been in hospital since Tuesday with pancreatitus (AGAIN). Still, the upside is, my op is going ahead in September! They are bringing in a specialist team, because if they leave my gallbladder in there then I have a much much higher chance of getting really ill. I am in a bit of pain, and I could have done without the hospital stay, but so delighted we can start ttc in a month and a half! And I had the Duke of Edinburgh for company too

Hello to everyone I haven't met yet, and hugs for us all, good times and bad xxx

[blizy]

Mecha- hope you feel better soon, I'm glad you are getting the op after all. Not long until the ttc commences.
