Oh monkey I'm so sorry honey and so sad for you and your dh and for your little angel who couldn't have had a better mum. I'm crying with heartache for you my lovely, it's just so heartbreaking. As soon as you feel ready, come over here and we'll hug you so tight. No one on here will ever forget your little angel and we'll be here as long as you need us xxx

MummyLovesSadie · 08/04/2010 11:44

Monkey I've had a text from Neeko saying how much she is thinking of you too. This is a very sad & sombre day.

iggypiggy · 08/04/2010 11:49

monkey thinking of you so so much xxxxxxxxxxxx

BuddhaBelly · 08/04/2010 12:06

Monkey Everytime I think of what you have been through I get so upset, to know your little angel wasn't going to survive and having to meet them at such an early stage was more than unfair but to have the ordeal go on for so long was just cruel and so unkind
I only hope our thoughts and love help in some small way to get you and your dh through this x

bluesatinsash · 08/04/2010 12:10

Monkey . You are in in all our thoughts and we are here as long as you need us.

Rest in peace little one x

GracieGirl · 08/04/2010 15:59

Oh poor Monkey, I'm so so sorry.

loueytbg · 08/04/2010 16:22

Monkey I'm so so sorry We are all devastated for you. I'm glad that at least that part of it is out of the way although I know it is going to be a long hard process physically and emotionally. We will all be here to give you hugs when you are ready to come and talk.

mermaidspurse · 08/04/2010 18:05

Afternoon. I have lots of new seedlings coming on so the greenhouse will be a bit cramped but at least we can get rid of mls vodka bottles
blue what are you going to grow? ds is usually only interested in our street sunflower competion or making money out of slug collecting but it is great to get them involved. I've got rainbow chard - well it looks pretty, spring onions, swiss chard (yuk)beetroot - ambitious and lots of different lettuce.

loueytbq you sound like you are going through the mill. It is hard to 'get on with things' when you have all that hanging over you.

vjay your poor back that has dragged on for a long time, glad it is easing. to ajay moving. It was something I dreaded as everything has to go up a level. He will think he is being sooooo clever

curly bless you, such a sweetie has the colic hold thingy worked? poor wee curly girl.
I have reached a black brick wall of despair with the golfer and have been told by my gp that they won't remove the fibroids full stop. I am feeling too tired, drained and emotional to summon up the energy to fight the hegemonic male bigotted view of putting ladies out to pasture after a certain age.

And I hate flamming golf.

I have some councilling sessions next week that seemed within their capability to organise for me which is probably a good thing.

cupcake lovely to think you are in your new nest, glad you like it and all your pictures are up. Can't believe that you and 4ever are getting so close. tick tock

mls god woman you don't half get the hectic end of the straw. I so hope you are as ok as possible after the last week. Are you still seeing your accup. lady?
The odds do sound small though and glad that you have another lot of bloods to hopefully sort out any uncertainty.

neeko Rest. Are you are rushing about too much and still remembering to count fingers and toes at least once a day. Tescos any time is hard let alone with a shiny new person. But it is nice doing a little parade

gracie I had forgotten that breast milk was good for conjunctivitus. amazing stuff. Has it worked?

moon well done for soldjering through another month and being so seemingly upbeat. I know how hard it is to keep going, well done.x

iggy hopefully the stress of being always tidy at the minute is not wearing you to a wafer. I had a thing about my taps, they had to be really shiny, daft.

sabs so hope you have enjoyed your day. Did saaras bit of eczema go? I can't remember, havn't got the brain cells of a spritely 29 year old

bakingqueen no doubt you are busy practising your pole technique but praying you are ok, not too many headaches. I have everything firlmy crossed as always.x

jools my lovely fine toned lady whose gym times I can never compete with. Miss you but know you are busy on the farm. I know I am a fine one to talk but please drop in and see us.xx

4ever golly gosh can you really be talking hospital bag so utterly exciting. Hope the appointment goes ok this afternoon. Thanks for letting us know about our gorgeous monkey today and for supporting her so much.

lbm I don't know how you get all you do done in a day, am in awe someone else who is tick tocking

monkey there are never words, lovely are there. Hold on to us tightly. You have been so brave. Thinking of you all.xxx

bakingqueen · 08/04/2010 18:18

Just sending lots of love to you monkey am thinking of you and sending you all my love am so sorry this has had to happen xxxxx

littlebellsmum · 08/04/2010 19:43

Monkey So sorry - it doesn't sound enough, but words are deserting me. No-one, no-one deserves the year you are having. Take care and enjoy your DS when you can

BlueMoon1981 · 08/04/2010 19:48

popping in to send monkey my love and hugs, your angel is safe with all of our lost angels to play with xx

wow 4ever packing bags, so exciting i cant tell you how happy i am that this is finally happening for you, you and your lovely dh so deserve it

curly that was almost a mammoth post, very proud of you! you sound very happy. oh no now you've conjured up images of all you girls with pom poms at the end of my bed, please dont let me think that during bd-ing

happy birthday to sabs is there any cake left? its nice to have something to celebrate, i'm sure monkey wont mind and we can save her some cake for when she feels up to it.

mls hope you are keeping your chin up

mermaid lovely to see you doing giant posts, i always feel so bad i never have time to mention everyone. sorry your golfer is being a man unreasonable, but counselling sounds good for starters, maybe it will help to bring fighting mermaid back and then you can go back and smack him in the balls make some demands. thank you for saying i seem upbeat, its a struggle as you well know, but i like to think i am trying my best.

big waves to all the yummy mummies, i never know how you find time to support us all with your little ones in tow, but im so pleased you do. and big waves to medium and small panters alike.

So so sorry for you and your family monkey Can't even begin to imagine how incredibly hard these last few days will have been for you Truly awful.

ThePFJ · 08/04/2010 20:30

hugs xxxx

ThePFJ · 09/04/2010 11:00

Good morning everyone,

I have made a pot of tea for you all to enjoy, please help yourselves. I've got some easter eggs and minieggs left over in the kitchen too so dive in...

I might phone the hospital today to find out how long stitches take to dissolve because mine just won't seem to disappear.

Hugs for everyone, especially for you monkey.

xxx

ThePFJ · 09/04/2010 12:36

Well, I know no one is really up for talking, I can't stop thinking about poor monkey today either. Life is really so cruel sometimes. I wish I could make it better.

The hospital have insisted I go and get my stitches poked at by a practice nurse at my GP surgery very soon, so I am going in on Tuesday. I really am too busy to go before then. Apparently a month and 4 days is a bit too long for stitches to be in there still. I shall have to have a stern talk with my bellybutton.

My little Jack turned 2 on Wedsnesday. He had a wonderful birthday surrounded by family and friends. Lots of In the Night Garden and Thomas puzzles and toys for him. I have tried really hard not to turn the living room into a giant toybox, but it seems it is!!

Jack is extremely clever with puzzles and problem solving, he walks and climbs and does all the things a toddler should except talk. He says all the right sounds, and he gets a picture book and points to the things he wants when he needs something! I have decided if he isn't talking by 2 and a half I shall call my GP and talk about speech therapy... Apparently the time to be worried is if they aren't talking properly by 3 years old, but most children are talking by 2 and earlier apparently... Any comments anyone?

Anyways, was thinking how I would have been pregnant with his little brother or sister on his birthday and felt a little bit sad.

Oh well, life is what it is. These are the cards we are dealt and we ought to play them to our best ability and get back on the horse and get busy living.

Although I think wallowing in minieggs for a few moments to feel sorry for ourselves is more than permitted, don't you think?

It feels better to talk to you all on here as well. Thanks for listening to me.

Love to you all as we get on with playing our cards. After all, we'll never win if we don't play.

CurlyBigPants · 09/04/2010 14:03

monkey just want you to know I'm thinking of you. Hope you are home and tucked up in bed. It's just so unfair hon The next wee while will be the hardest and we will stay in the greenhouse feeding you nice food and large glasses of wine. You have been brave long enough my lovely, just let it all out. We will all grieve your lovely lost angel with you because none of us will ever forget how much we miss our own. I loved moons image of all our angels playing together. Big hugs and hairstrokes xxx

mermaid I'm so angry at your stupid golfer. Check with the hospital. You should be able to ask for a second opinion from another consultant and if you have a look at guidelines such as rcog and NICE you can make an argument for most things. How bloody dare they deny you treatment. Grrrr

moon I'm sorry if we have put you off bd'ing for life!!! I promise we won't watch

thepfj loved your post Jack sounds adorable and I'm sure not talking is nothing to worry about however I would advise talking to the gp now firstly because if he's not concerned then it will put ur mind at rest but also because a friend of mine kept putting it off and then found she had to wait ages for a referral. But he sounds like a gorgeous and very bright little boy xxx

big hugs to everyone xxx

mermaidspurse · 09/04/2010 14:07

pfb honey you are not wallowing or feeling sorry for yourself. You are adjusting, coping, grieving and surviving. It is early days lovely just go with the flow eat mini eggs and every day you will be a bit stronger. But ouch at the stitches.

Reading about your ds not pseaking reminded me of my little sister who never spoke because I did it all for her Development milestnes are scary arn't they, he sounds as bright as a button.
I am glad he had a good birthday too.

monkey as always in our thoughts.x

mermaidspurse · 09/04/2010 14:10

x post cos I went off and ate a toastie and sat in the sun. curly thanks for being angry for me you and 4ever should really be the new A team.

bluesatinsash · 09/04/2010 14:12

Monkey - I truly hope you are being wrapped in double thick cotton wool and taking strength from your gorgeous adorable DS, DH and DDad. One day at a time, one tiny step at a time. The sun will come out again xx

Hi PFJ and happy birthday Jack . Please don't worry about his speech, my DS1 had only three words on his 2nd birthday - Mummy, juice and dog. His non verbal was fantastic and he could understand quite complicated instruction (i.e. "Please get Mummy's towel off radiator and bring it to me in the shower").

He was seen at 3 by Speech Therapist and was discharged with reassurance that boys just take longer to talk. He is now nearly 4 and talks for Scotland!

Sorry to hear your stiches haven't dissolved yet.. And you feeling thinking about the little brother/sister for Jack but it will happen just keep fighting the good fight.

Mermaid - lovely lady good to see you . Hope your counselling helps you come up with a new PLAN, Being listened too is so good for the soul. I'm going to be planting courgettes, tomoatoes and pototoes in the Blue vegetable patch. DS1 seems very keen and have bought him a mini trowel etc. but we'll see how long his interest is kept once he's toiling with me and would rather be on his swing!

Moon we will be stealth ninja cheerleaders so as not to distract ...

bluesatinsash · 09/04/2010 14:15

I was obviously off sick the day we got how to spell vegetables at school

X-post with mermaid and curly - hi guys!! Curly - how is curlygirl's colic?

ThePFJ · 09/04/2010 14:27

bluesatinsash - I love your pictures!!

bluesatinsash · 09/04/2010 14:35

aw shucks PFJ. Your DS is super adorable too

ThePFJ · 09/04/2010 16:21

Well I am being dragged out for a night at a rock club... I haven't been to a night club in erm... 1,2,5...more.. years... so this should be fairly amusing!! (I'll try to look as cool as possible... ahahahaha hurhurhur ahem choke)

I won't be back until late tommorrow.

Have a good weekend all... hope you are doing ok QuestionsAnswered are your hormone levels back to normal now? I can't remember if you mentioned it?! (sorry babes)

Hugs, kisses and minieggs to you girls. xxx

VJay · 09/04/2010 17:25

Hi pfj have fun at your rock club tonight, make sure you tell us all about it tomorrow. Happy birthday to little Jack too, it sounds like he had a fab birthday , as for late talking, mention it to your health visitor/gp, it does no harm to get the ball rolling

mermaid do the fibroids give you any pain day to day, if so then surely they must remove them. It can make it difficult to conceive with them, but not impossible. It's so good to see you back on here, you have been missed

blue you do sound busy with your veg patch, and so cute ds1 having his own wee trowel. You should get him to plant a sunflower, then see how excited he gets by how tall it grows, my ds1 still loves doing that, though he brings them home from school, I'm a bit crap at all that, though I did grow some cucumbers last year

moon we are silently cheering you on

BIG hair strokes for monkey

Right gotta go tis bathtime for the boys, am going to dunk them in together, will be back later xx
