Happy Mother's Day to you too Neeko and all the other ladies too Thanks

SabsFabulous · 15/03/2015 14:20

And sending you a special hug too Neeko x

Happy mothers day to all you lovely ladies. 3 years ago on mothers day it was the day before the 12 week scan and I never dared to believe that I would be celebrating this day with my very own baby (who is no longer a baby!). 2 years ago on mothers day it was the day before I went back to work after maternity leave. So this year I am not dreading a thing and have had time to enjoy and reflect.
Neeko we never forget. I think about my angel babies every day just not with so much sadness as I used to.
Waves to sabs and little miss and any lurkers.

Hang on, my maths is all wrong. J is only 18 months. 2 and 1 years respectively! My brain is buggered...

4everhopeful · 23/03/2015 14:40

Hello my lovelies Grin belated happy Mother's day to you all Flowers

Sorry to be so rubbish with posting on our quiet little thread but so glad we are still going!

Neeko thoughts are with you and never forget our little lost angels.. Very bizarre to think I could actually be about 6 months pregnant myself right now, barely given it much thought and very much at peace with the thought it just wasn't meant to be.. She has his apt next week for the snip! Shock Smile Lovely to hear DD2 is all set and excited about school, hope all else is well? Will be applying for Teddy's nursery place at end of the year, how did that happen!

Littlemiss Grin anytime I read your posts I just beam ear to ear! You sound so blissfully happy and content, and you are so deserving of that! Can't believe L is this age already and walking and stuff! Did you get the kittens?

Moon you too with the Blissful contented news! Wink J sounds like such a bright little button and your stories about him sound like he's such a little character.. Bless how far you've come reading your last post.. Are you all settled in your house now?

All good here, I turned the bug 4-0 a couple weeks back! Spoilt rotten, spa day with Dh, big family and friends meal, then weekend in Brighton with kids.. Was brilliant Wink
Summer doing great, loving school and reading and writing and started dance lessons, she seems so grown up, on countdown to her 5th birthday! Teddy's necklump scanned, fine and now gone! His toe mole not a huge concern, but to be monitored, apart from that the little fellas thriving! A right little chap, actually not so little, in 2-3 clothes and quite a solid little brick! Grin The pair of them are a real duo though, highly amusing Wink

4everhopeful · 23/03/2015 14:41

Oops read back, DH having snip, not she! Suddenly realised time and beckoning school run! Confused

Neeko · 06/04/2015 07:24

Happy Easter to you all.
Hope you have all had fun and eaten plenty of chocolate. Smile

4ever. It sounds like your wee family is doing really well Smile

Littlemisssunshine75 · 06/04/2015 09:31

Happy Easter everyone Smile (and belated Happy Mothers Day too Flowers)
Hope you're all well, and having a lovely weekend?!

4ever Happy Birthday for whenever it was, sounds like you had a fab time! You also sound really happy, which is wonderful Smile S & T sound like they're doing really well.

Neeko how are things with you? Hope all is well!

Moon hope all is well with you too and that J had a lovely Easter Sunday?!

All fine here, L is growing up so fast & C is a sweetie & is just lovely with her. It melts my heart to see them together. On Wednesday it's the 5th anniversary of the arrival of our lost little boy Sad. Since L was born I have been thinking about him a lot. There is quite definitely a big hole where he should be, and I think I only started to grieve him properly after L was born as I had been ploughing myself into trying to have another baby. It makes me sad, but then I think if he was still here L probably wouldn't exist, and I can't bear the thought of that. We're going to the UK tomorrow, so I won't be able to visit his grave on Wednesday Sad I haven't said anything to DH as I don't want to stir up memories for him, but I know you ladies will understand.

Anyway, love to whoever's still here/lurking, and have a lovely Easter Monday xxx

Neeko · 06/04/2015 10:37

I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday Littlemisssunshine. I often think of your little boy. It was such a difficult time for you and I've always admired how well you seemed to cope. I felt so guilty when DD2 was newborn and you were having to deal with the loss of your son. If everything dies indeed happen for a reason, I struggle to find the reason for that. I'm sure your dc have a very special angel watching down on them and your baby boy will continue to grow and thrive within your heart where nothing can ever hurt him.

Have a lovely time in the UK.

Neeko · 06/04/2015 10:38

DOES indeed happen. Sorry Blush

Littlemisssunshine75 · 06/04/2015 17:54

Ah, thanks neeko you are lovely. I'm sure I would have felt the same but I feel bad that you felt guilty. One of the things that gave me hope during that time was knowing that life continues, and that healthy and much longed for babies were being born. Life was unfurling the way it should for most people. It put a smile on my face to realise that, and gave me plenty of well-placed hope for the future Smile
I also remember this thread, and everyone on it, being a source of strength, and I am still grateful for the support you all gave us. I'm not sure how we would have got through it without you all to be honest...

Neeko · 06/04/2015 19:25

I think we were all very lucky to have this thread through the dark days. I know you lot saved my sanity at the time Smile

I have been very productive today after three days of outings. Both the DDs clothes and toys have been sorted and all the stuff no longer suitable has been put up the loft or passed on. Their Rooms are so tidy that I don't want to let them back in Wink.
I'm hoping to declutter and thoroughly clean the whole house in the next two weeks. Who is betting I give up by tomorrow.? Grin the spare room is badly needing sorted but I don't think I have the energy or time to do everything that needs done in it, so I might just do the rest of the house and leave it forever til the summer.

Littlemisssunshine75 · 06/04/2015 22:10

I am impressed! Sounds like my intentions at the beginning of the holidays last week. Have I done anything? No. Even the washing pile has grown but L has been sick all week so I do have an excuse!
Don't give up neeko, you can be my decluttering inspiration Grin Have fun being ruthless!!

4everhopeful · 07/04/2015 09:12

Just want to send a big squeezy hug to you for tomorrow littlemiss, I echo Neeko that I've huge admiration for the strength you had to somehow find to go through such a terrible thing, and I also think of your little angel boy often.. We all remember so vividly that time, probably more than any other, my heart truly ached for you and still does.. It doesn't matter where you are tomorrow, as he is part of you always wherever you are in the world.. I also feel the same that it's only once the much desired babies we've been desperate for are finally here, that we truly grieve for those we've lost, but also that without them our beautiful babies wouldn't be here either.. My first lost angel would of been 7 this month, that's almost incomprehensible to me now, as is the fact I'd currently be 6 months pregnant right now if hadn't miscarried the last baby in November.. All quite surreal, but true that I wouldn't change any of it now.. I am glad DH is having the snip though cos never want to go through all that again and I'm sooooo grateful for what I've got Smile

On a totally different, and much lighter note, Neeko I've been on a clearing mission too! So satisfying! Have ordered Summers big bed, so Teddy's having her toddler bed, and both rooms are being utterly blitzed! EBay doesn't know what's hit it! Grin

Neeko · 14/04/2015 08:30

Oh the cleaning Hmm. Half way through and losing the will to live. Not even convinced anyone other than me has noticed the difference! Grin

Hope the anniversary was ok last week.

4ever- big beds are big steps. How did it all go?

Rumours · 14/04/2015 08:55

Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile lurking and waving at my fellow emmsys xxxxx

Neeko · 14/04/2015 09:20

Hey Rumours! How ya doing, lovely?

Rumours · 14/04/2015 21:31

Good ta, how's you Neeko??

Im hopefully going to start volunteering soon, being a tutor for adult literacies. Will hopefully get onto a training course soon, im quite excited.

Boys are good, A is enjoying P1 and C is getting ready for S1 Shock , time is just flying by Smile

Neeko · 14/04/2015 22:20

S1?Shock How did that happen? How's he feeling about the change? Will his support move with him?

All your plans for you sound good. It's had to be a round about way, but you will get there. Smile

All really good here. The girls are at a great stage. I'd really like to press pause right now and keep them at this stage for a few years. Unfortunately they are defying me and just keep on growing!

Rumours · 15/04/2015 08:56

I know S1 Shock Shock Shock he's looking forward to it, he's been doing an enhanced transition and has been up to the academy lots already.

I know what you mean about wanting to press pause for a while, but they just keep on growing. C is a giant! His feet are a size 9!!!

As for me I will get there, circumstances have changed my path, but I believe it's all for a good reason Smile

Neeko · 15/04/2015 09:54

Wow - big feet! Seems a mile away from the wee boy standing beside you in that picture with the mini eggs Smile.

I do believe that everything eventually works out. That course being cancelled was meant to be as your boys needed you at home and the course on top of everything else would have been too much at the time

We have all come a long road but it's so lovely to look back and see how far we have come. SmileSmile

Neeko · 04/05/2015 07:13

Hi. Just checking in. How you are all well.

moonmrs · 05/05/2015 22:32

Hi neeko. I keep meaning to post but I always run out of time. How you ladies all manage it when most of you have more than one child amazes me. I think of you all often, and one day I promise a proper post. All good here, just busy.

moonmrs · 07/05/2015 12:02

We sold our travel system on eBay. I don't know why but it's made me really sad, I wasn't expecting that. We've just bought a buggy as we didn't need such a big pram but it made me teary knowing how j was so tiny when he was first in it. He walks pretty much everywhere anyway.

moonmrs · 16/05/2015 22:25

Just lurking. I'm like a bus, nothing for ages then 3 posts in a row Wink Hope everyone is ok, it's very quiet on here. These little ones must be keeping everyone busy, mine definitely is!
