Been thinking of you Chintaria.. Hope you're hanging in there, and recovering physically? xxx

Lamaitresse · 30/06/2015 17:34

Thanks for the lovely messages. Think I'm doing okay considering! Still v tired, and have been v sad and down, but keep reminding myself of what we do have.
On the plus side, at least I now know that there won't be another baby - I was too ill to even think about doing it ever again. DH will be going for the snip. 4ever how did it go for your DH? I hope he's doing okay?
I feel a bit cross that our journey to complete our family has ended like this Sad did you feel like that too 4ever? After dd was born everything was wonderful and things were as they should be, but now I feel a bit funny again. Such a shame. Knowing what the outcome was I wish I had never fallen pregnant this last time, does that make sense?
Cloud you were absolutely not being insensitive, you couldn't ever be Smile It is different this time round, and although I feel sad I also feel very happy that you are pregnant, it's not difficult at all for me so please do not hold back!!! I can't wait to hear any names you like Grin
Anyway, it's supper time here so better go but thanks again all of you, and will be back soon x

CloudOfStarlings · 30/06/2015 20:38

Oh chintaria I so feel for you as you say, having this horrible end to your journey after everything was so lovely with dd. But really, dd is still the precious miracle that completed your family.
And if you had decided for dh to go for the snip without this pregnancy happening, you might always have wondered 'what if we could've had just one more?' whereas now you know how horribly ill you were and it sort of closes that chapter... I hope I'm making sense. I'm not trying to make light of it at all, sorry, I know it's still devastating Sad
Hope you're recovering ok physically and still scoffing that chocolate! And thank you for being so kind about my pregnancy too, you're lovely. 6 sleeps til the scan...I'm quite nervous that something will be wrong and we've told a few more friends now which makes me more nervous... but anyway, we'll see.

Waves to all!

Aww Chintaria absolutely felt the same on all counts, we were so elated our long journey ended with the happy outcome of Teddy, and that was a beautiful line underneath it all.. Getting pregnant again unexpectedly on the pill, was a shock, and was really wierd to be so confused and negative about it, then just as we started to come round to the idea, we lost it, and exactly like you was so angry in a way that my last experience of pregnancy ended up being a negative one, instead of ending with a positive one.. Felt clouded and a bit cheated of what had previously been our happy ending.. Totally get how you feel, and with mine being ectopic too, the health risk and reality of putting my poor body through a 10th pregnancy, made the decision of vasectomy an absolute definite.. All those emotions have now faded, and I do feel that last one just wasn't meant to be, it would of actually been due next week... But like you, we've our gorgeous girl and beautiful boy, and are really happy to just be our family of 4.. Smile All those raw emotions will fade, I promise you, as your darling little babies grow and go through all their various delightful little stages.. Teddy's really starting to talk and it's amazing.. But, yes had to post to say totally understand where you're coming from, but it will get better Wink

4everhopeful · 30/06/2015 20:49

Aww Cloud x post.. Wise words.. Definitely also feel that eliminated any 'what might of been thoughts'.. Aww poor weebly you, don't be nervous (easier said than done I know!) we'll be there to hold your hand! Wink The heats fried my brain, what date is your scan then so I can send positive thoughts your way? Xx

CloudOfStarlings · 30/06/2015 22:07

Just a quiet little marker that the baby we lost in November would of been due this week.. A strange thought.. Not meant to be, but still my last ever little baby not to be forgotten.. Xxxxxxxxx

CloudOfStarlings · 05/07/2015 20:41

Just rushing on to offer my hand to Cloud. Heading home from holiday today. Will catch up on thread later.

SabsFabulous · 06/07/2015 09:38

Another hand here for Cloud xxx

Hugs for Chintaria and 4ever

Lamaitresse · 06/07/2015 11:40

Just checking in for news from cloud, have been thinking of you this morning x

4ever thanks Smile You totally get how I feel having been through it yourself. I have to say I'm finding it harder as the days go by, I wish so much that it had worked out. I just have to find a way of coping with it I suppose. Will never be able to 'put it right' by having a third baby so just have to deal with it. I talked to DH about possible surrogacy but he's ready to leave the baby days behind us, and he's probably right.

Anyway, sorry cloud didn't mean to detract from hopefully good news, will check back again later x

Lamaitresse · 06/07/2015 11:41

PS 4ever meant to send you a big hug for your due date, I have been thinking of you and your last lost little one. I am dreading our due date, just feel like sobbing about it - you are so strong x

CloudOfStarlings · 06/07/2015 19:58

Ladies I'm so sorry not to update sooner! But thank you for lovely messages! Everything was fine, massive sigh of relief! So happy, and also scared that it's real now!!

Lamaitresse · 07/07/2015 07:38

Lovely news cloud thanks for updating Smile

4everhopeful · 07/07/2015 10:04

So pleased and relieved for you Cloud! You're having a baby! Grin When will you tell the boys? Oooh wonder if you'll have a girl this time?

Thanks to you and Neeko and Chintaria for hugs too.. Hugs back to you Chintaria.. Just embracing my babies with a very grateful smile, lots of distractions right now too, our 8 yr wedding anniversary today.. Smile So much on with the end of term school stuff, including their very own graduation ceremony for leaving reception! Can't believe my baby girl is going up to year 1! Then by absolutely no means least, my baby boy is 2 next Thursday! Shock How did that ever happen?! Grin

moonmrs · 07/07/2015 19:18

Lovely news cloud Smile congratulations! Big hugs for chintaria and 4ever, you are such strong, inspirational ladies.
Sorry to have been gone for a while, I don't know where the time goes. I think of you all often.

4everhopeful · 16/07/2015 06:21

Star Happy 2nd Birthday to my beautiful baby boy Teddy! GrinGrinGrin This exact time 2 years ago I was screaming down the hospital and out he shot like a rocket at bang on 6.30am! Grin My eager little miracle! Grin xxxxxxxxx

Neeko · 16/07/2015 08:36

Happy birthday Teddy Smile

Hope you are doing ok chintaria.

Hope you are keeping well cloud.

Lamaitresse · 21/07/2015 21:48

Sorry I missed Teddy's birthday 4ever but Happy Belated Birthday to him anyway! Hope you all had a lovely time celebrating and reminiscing Smile Did he have a party?

Things are a little easier here - tbh I think I've reached that point where I've been so sad that I can't really feel the pain any more. Whatever the reason, things are looking up, and today our precious baby girl turned 18 months Smile Can't believe how fast the last year and a half has gone!

How are you doing cloud? Hope all is well Smile
And you neeko? How are things with you?

Lamaitresse · 21/07/2015 21:55

Hope all is well with you too moon, and little J? I pressed 'post' too soon Blush

Thought it might be nice to post a recent pic of my two little darlings Smile
