Oh Iggy!!!! Hope all is going well, and that you're a mummy soon! How exciting!
4ever Sorry I haven't commented on what you wrote about your scan pics, just a little too close to home for me with mine only just been put away Sorry that you got emotional about it, but probably a good thing to have done. It was a stressful journey for you, every step of the way, but oh so worth it... Sending you a big hug x
Barbie and VJay I didn't know you could get pictures taken at Clarke's - feel aggrieved now that we weren't offered one! Barbie I also love the nickname Dolly, very cute, and she can grow up with it without it sounding weird! Fab re dh coming home, you must be relieved! It's horrible not being able to talk to them when you need to, but at least dh will know how much he's been missed
QA Welcome back, you have been missed I have done exactly what you're talking about - I lurked for ages (last year) and there was always so much going on it was impossible to keep up and to post to everyone. Such a busy thread The most important thing is that you're back now. How are you?
Mermaid You make me laugh How you doing? You drinking water too?? I'm managing about 1.5l of pure water a day, plus fruit juice, and maybe a cup of (decaffinated) tea. Oh, I am good
VJay at your 10 and 3/4 months, can't believe he's that old already! Anyway, they're not 'nearly one' until they're at least 11 and 3/4 months
Thanks mermaid, barbie, blue and vjay for being lovely when I posted the other day. You're all so kind to say you'll help me through, but I feel awful always coming on here with unhappy things to say. I don't want to be like that, it's not me! I have been thinking about having a bit of a break from MN, just because things are getting tough, and I was going to try and get through the next couple of months by not immersing myself in baby stuff like I normally do, but really, I don't think I can do it without words of encouragement. Don't you wish sometimes that someone else could come along and 'carry your load' for a little while? Without mum I feel like I'm struggling to get anywhere. She always made me feel better about things, and it's so difficult to tell myself the words she would probably have said, and to believe them.
Gosh, didn't mean this to turn into an essay about me Better go and give my sweet boy a big cuddle...
Iggy will be thinking of you all the time and hoping you're pushing well!
PS Blue yep, am looking forward to the new catalogue, but am going to have to curb my spending - realised just about everything ds has for this summer is Boden DH'll let me get away with it this time I reckon, but not again! Mind one, one or two things won't hurt......
