Hi ladies sorry I've been quiet for so long. Work has been crazy busy way too many poorly babies, DH and I were working opposite shifts so fitting in DTD has been a challenge as I feel like I've barely seen him!! Only a week till I get to POAS.
Welcome to our newcomers always sad to see more people arriving but this is definitely the best crap place to be!
Kayleigh hope you are coping with your tiredness and everything is going well.
Ducky, sorry the little mans oxygen levels are dropping without oxygen. I'm presuming he has bronchiolitis hopefully he is over the worst and just needs a little bit longer. Must have been scary for you.
Winter I actually joined one of the antenatal groups on here when I was pregnant and through that we set up a Facebook group. After losing E I left the group but still have several of them as friends on FB. Sometimes I find it so hard and skip over their posts as it reminds me of everything we lost. However those ladies have been more kind than most of my real friends. When E died they all sent cards and got us a beautiful locket engraved on the back with "always an August baby" they all gave a bit of money to get us something and actually had more than I ever could have imagined so their generosity has actually paid for E's headstone which was a huge weight off our mind.
Town massive congratulations seems like the right kind of high to be ending this thread on!
Apart from work things have been going OK. Although little things still bother me. Some of my colleagues were inappropriately talking about having a profoundly disabled child and basically said they'd all rather anything but that, I had to walk away as Id give anything not to be where we are. One of the new doctors innocently asked if I had kids but I was infront of the family I was caring for so I lied and said no. I figured that was going to be the end of the conversation but no she went on and on for ages about how lucky I was not to have kids as she couldn't remember the last time she'd had a full nights sleep. I nearly told her but it's not her fault I guess it's what most people think when you tell them you don't have kids, I wish I did get those sleepless nights though. Well I suppose I did have a fair few sleepless nights but for entirely different reasons.
My best friend said something really odd to me the other day and asked what I'd do if we couldn't have any more kids. There is no reason for her to think like that as we had no medical reason for E dying and we conceived her straight away. We've only been trying again properly since October. It just really shocked me that people could think like that, as if because my baby died I'm somehow broken. Just made me feel like in her eyes it's my fault.
Anyway a whole week off work again now so should be able to catch up for a while.
Oh and someone ought to think about starting a new thread soon must be nearly at the end of this one!!
