whatever I would have cried too. Going to hospital with my baby is my biggest nightmare. I am amazed that you were able to hold out for so long.

Ellypoo · 28/11/2012 10:47

I just agree with what everyone else has said wtw, it is such a scary time for you, there is no wonder you broke down. Sending much love and strength to you all xxx Very glad to hear Holly is off the oxygen today, must be a huge relief for you both xxx

kleine, thinking of you xxx

Ellypoo · 28/11/2012 11:16

What have people done for their Angel's first birthdays? Nancy's is on 29th December, and DH has suggested that we have a party for her at ours, get buffet food from M&S or Waitrose so we don't have to think about making stuff. Might make her a cake & have a balloon for her. Does this sound ok? I can always escape to our room if I need to.

KleinePoppet · 28/11/2012 13:36

Just a very quick message - I'm going to take a few days 'off', but I know you'll all want to know what's going on. I am indeed miscarrying... the hospital will keep an eye on me with tests and scans over the next few days, but so far things are ok and I'm not in any pain at the moment.
We're sad, of course, but still going. I'll be back on the thread soon (can't take TOO long a break as a certain miasmummy will be having her LO, and I don't want to miss it!).

wtw I am so delighted to hear that Holly is feeling better. Hope you're home very, very soon xxxx

Love to you all xx

Whatevertheweather · 28/11/2012 14:36

Oh Kleine so not the news we were all hoping for for you Sad I am so so sorry. No platitudes just huge hugs and love xxxx

Thank you for all Holly's good wishes, she's doing well off the oxygen but not able to feed still so feeding tube still in

blizy · 28/11/2012 16:21

Oh no Kleine, I am so sorry for you and dh. Sending you all my love, hugs and strength to help you through. X

spilttheteaagain · 28/11/2012 16:23

kleine I am so very very sorry xxx

blizy · 28/11/2012 16:24

Ely, your birthday plans for Nancy sound perfect. For Zoe's birthday we released some balloons, I made her a birthday cake and we bought some pink roses for her. We also dressed her bear up in a happy birthday t-shirt. Dh and I were alone for her birthday but friends and (some) family sent their well wishes.

RainboxFX · 28/11/2012 17:45

SO much to catch up on!

Just wanted to say that WTW and Holly, and Kleine are especially in my thoughts just now. And everyone else having tough times. IT isn't fair and none of us deserve it. I just wish I lived closer to any of you! I would love to be able to help with real tea and hand holding, not just virtual stuff.

I've been quiet and out of touch, no real reason, just still finding being back at work a bit hard. Though yesterday was my wedding anniversery and I have never seen so many rainbows. IT was lovely, made me realise that even though I don't really know what my religious/spiritual beliefs are, as long as we remember him Dexter will always be with us. Even though we miss him. Then I got to thinking about all our rainbows and angels and had to stop the van for a bit of a cry.

CD 28 for me, 8DPO. Fingers crossed.

Sending strength and love where ever it is needed. Will try harder to keep in touch! Thinking of all of us xx

Wtw love to you all xxxx hurry up Holly & get better ... Mummy & daddy are knackered .... Xxxxx
Elly we ve just celebrated Georgie's 2 nd birthday , well you may remember in October. We have a special place we go to to lay flowers for her & went out for a meal after. The first year we had a lot of cards & flowers. This year , a few cards but I asked my family to donate money to SANDS instead of buying me flowers in Georgie's name . Xxx
Well let the birthday celebrations begin ... Phebs , dare I say it???, finally turned a corner & better today. Actually managed a full day at nursery. Ny cold improving & now I m off work for a week. Bliss a day in my own tomorrow , going shopping on my own to buy lots of clothes... Yippee xxxx
Thoughts & love to those having a crap time at the moment xxx

Babyh200 · 29/11/2012 00:10

Kliene, what can I say except that life is so unfair. I've no idea what your going through because I've never had a miscarriage. All I know is what my wise old aunty one said which is that 'you love your baby from the moment you discover your pregnant and that little seed contains all your hopes and dreams for the future'. I'm so so sorry that your not getting the rainbow you deserve so much. Thinking of you and Mr Kliene xxxxxxx

Wtw : big hugs hope your ok and Holly is back to full strength soon xx

Rainbox: FX your AF never arrives....well not ever but you know what I mean. Happy anniversary xxxxxx

Waves to everyone else.

Night all

Ps: Fan, if your reading your never far from my thoughts xxxxx

Whatevertheweather · 29/11/2012 13:12

Well in true children fashion my little trooper rallied through the night, temp, sats and heart rate all stable and she's had 2 breastfeeds so we're going home today!! Yay! She's still got a chesty cough but that will linger for a few weeks apparently. Will now fight the urge to wrap her in cotton wool until march Smile

Yay! Kids recoveries are amazing!

Thank you so much for the hand-holding - very very much appreciated Smile Thanks for everyone

spilttheteaagain · 29/11/2012 13:43

I am THRILLED wtw, well done Miss Holly! Love to her xx

blizy · 29/11/2012 13:47

Fantastic news! Holly is a tough little girl.

spilttheteaagain · 29/11/2012 14:49

rainbox how lovely to get all those rainbows Smile FX indeed. Going back to work is hard, on so many levels, it's a massive drain physically and emotionally, just so tiring feeling like you are keeping up an act all day long. Be kind to yourself.

angel so glad Phebs is getting back to rights. The colds are just Non. Bloody. Stop. I took Freya to the doctor yesterday to get them to listen to her chest as she has such a horrible mucky cough. She went nuts at them as they tried to take temp, listen to chest, look in throat and ears, and eventually hit the doctor Blush Apparently all is ok! Any semblance of routine we were developing has gone clean out the window with the batch of bugs she's had recently - couldn't get her to sleep until 10pm last night!! And we appear to have hit fussy eater stage, toast, cheese, baked beans, yoghurt and fruit. That is all. Bless her Grin She's obsessed with the phone now and likes to chatter into it and then forcibly ram it into my face to make sure I do too Grin

miasmummy I hope you are doing ok? This last little bit can seem so loooong!

Not much to report from here. It is cold. But our deer was back in the garden yesterday, not seen it for ages so that was nice.

Love to all, especially kleine, I hope you are not having too bad a time of it physically xx

blizy · 29/11/2012 15:56

Just want to pop by and pass
My love and thoughts onto Kleine.
Fan I am also thinking of you. X

AngelGeorgie · 29/11/2012 21:40

Spilt glad alls ok with Freya. Know what you mean about routine going by the by. Phebs only just gone to bed now though appearing very tired at tea time , 6 ish... When she was ill she really dropped her appetite...
Wtw so glad about Holly xxx hope you all manage to get some rest now... Love to u all xxx
Kleine xxxx
Blizy how are you? Xxx
Fan xxxx
Hope all are ok? So cold , had a lovely day shopping on my OWN .., lovely .... Seeing a friend tomorrow then hair cut . Phebs off nursery tomorrow , then out with mates tomorrow night.
Love to all xxxx

blizy · 30/11/2012 07:44

Hi angel, I'm ok thanks for asking.
Dh had his second date with the cup on Tuesday, just waiting on the results. Now I have an issue, af is 12 days late but I ave been have been getting negative tests, I am very confused, I hate the way my body keeps playing tricks on me!

I'm glad the babies are feeling better, especially Little Holly!

Angel, I hope you have a fantastic birthday weekend, you really do deserve it. X

I hope you are all well, sending my love to everyone and our angels and rainbows. X

Little9 · 30/11/2012 20:23

Hello all. I am struggling to get on here at the moment but have just caught up. I am so sorry for Kleine. Hope you are as ok as you can be.

Glad Holly and Phebs are on the mend.

Fx for Rainbox.

blizy hope your af sorts itself out (or that it means something precious has happened).

As for me... I should now be (hopefully) 12 weeks today. Have my 12 week scan next Friday so fx all is still well. Am starting to worry we won't see heartbeat this time as still getting brown spotting although not as much. Boobs are still mega sore though (was prodding them today at work without thinking about it and one of my work colleagues noticed - think that, along with my ever increasing belly has given the game away somewhat!). Please, please, please be ok little rainbow.

Sending hugs to everyone and sorry I haven't mentioned you all personally. Will try to keep up with thread more from now on. xx

RainboxFX · 01/12/2012 10:06

Popping on with some news. BFP this morning. Both delighted and terrified. I needed to tell someone, I know it is early days and anything can happy, and I am so sorry this news will make people feel sad. Very confused.

Love to all xx
