Got some peace as DH has taken boys to his Mums...
4ever - oh darling, so sorry you feel like we're not acknowledging your posts about S. I lurked on DH's phone earlier and saw your post and have been thinking about the thread and why you feel like this ever since (practically shoved DH out the door so I could log on!)..
I can only speak from my perspective but I am always thrilled to read about S and all the babies on here. I try to post personals every time I post not to everyone but to at least everyone who has posted since I last did.
The thread continutes to be a fine line as so many of us have bouncing babies but we have to be mindful of those who are still ttc and going through that and all the hand holding that entails. I could gush about all our babies and mine too () but shy away as don't want to feel I'm rubbing anyone's nose in motherhood when some of us have yet to as mermaid says join the exclusive club.
I hope you sometimes read back to the week S was born as see the geniune delight we had at you finally getting her in your arms. I still have a lump in my throat when I remember you saying "she's alive". Only you and your DH truly now how hard a journey you have had but I hope you feel most of us, especially those from the original Emmsy's Angels know only too well what you have gone through, and have rooted for you every step of the way.
Maybe Vjay is the best to experience this but like in life, once the baby is born and the initial yay! is done, RL and on here the posts/acknowledgements tend to be general unless we are needing advice a la barbie with sleep or a tooth is through or a crawl has began. Its doesn't mean we don't cherish reading all about it.
You are such an honest person and I really admire you for that and raising your annoyance. I have felt similar a long time ago when one person I felt never responded to my posts but I just kind of shrugged my shoulders as there are so many people on here and some of us feel mor ecomfortable posting about some of us than others if that makes sense.
I am rambling now but just finish by saying I'm still waiting on piccies of the bronze casts of Summer's feet . You have kicked me up the arse as I have been meaning to get canvas prints of both boys hands and feet and never get round to it! How is the feeding going this week? Is S still doing some boobage in the evening?
And onto other news!
Vjay - welcome back honey! Glad you all had a good time, your ruddy cheeked outdoor healthiness was eminating over the internet . Are you getting your garage converted??? As we are next month! DH has spent last few weeks decanting everything into loft/shed/skip. Ayone want a running machine?
mermaid - lovely to hear form you and you are still being stopped in your tracks by your grief. I have both my parents but know when my Mum passes I just won't be the same person ever again . Hope you are busy with DS and shouting out soft rock songs - get some Meat Loaf on. BTW veggies were a hit or miss. Strawberries and amazingly tomatoes are great but courgettes died and raspberry bush mustn't have taken root as it just looks like sticks in the ground...
barbie - glad to read D had a better night. If she is loving the pear then I would just carry on, slowly but surely... She is so advanced physically which would tie in with her needing food earlier. Coincidentally I was re-reading my weaning book this morning and it talked about knowing when your DC was ready for food and being physically strong enough to hold head up etc. was one sign so there you go...
questions - hope you get your op done soon so you can start the ttc bus again. Maybe a wee break will be a blessing in disguise?
Jools - so sorry I fogrot to post how shit it is if you feel you've had another mc... I think you're right not to test early. Try and just think of it as a weird AF..
cupcake - AF return can be strange... Gracie (where is she these days?) AF came back when her DD was 2 months I think wheras mine didn't return until B was 6 months and I month after I stopped BF!). TBH I welcomed her return as the whole time she was away I had NO sex drive whatsoever due to lack of natural cycle... Glad all going well with J and he is chubbing up nicely
Right, better shoot as have hoovering to do and bottles to make up.
Any other Grey's fan out there? Watched last nights final episode with heart in my mouth - had to text Neeko who is having a lovely holiday and is washing H in a storage box from Tesco as her lodge doesn't have a bath - . She sent a photo of her in the box and she looked sooo cute.
