The Thread for Happy Thoughts

[BeckyBendyLegs]

I thought that as well as having threads here where we can talk about our worries, concerns and feelings as we come to terms with issues related to experiencing an MC we needed a thread where we could talk about things that make us smile to cheer anyone up who needs cheering up. As someone very wise said in one of these threads a couple of weeks' ago: it can't rain all the time! So here is my 'happy thought' of the day: today my second son was getting himself dressed (he's 27 months and going through an independence phase) and he was struggling with his top which was inside out and he said to me 'mummy it is too rectangled I can't do it!' I looked at his little face and just burst out laughing and it felt wonderful!

I ought to add that I explained to my son what he had said and that he meant 'tangled' and he laughed too!

aww..so cute becky
i dont have any happy thoughts so far but am feeling much better n happier this week

anyone else interested to join in?

Hi there. I m/c about 5 weeks ago for the 3rd time.
No actual happy thought to share, but wanted to say, I think this thread is a fantastic idea.

am trying to look on the positive side of not being pg - off to France next month and can stuff my face with pate and red wine without guilt. That said, I would happily abstain for a year if I were to get a BFP in a couple of weeks' time.. but hey...

This thread is a great idea Becky! Love 'tangled'

Am try to think of a happy thought, but after bluemouse's post all I can think of is goats cheese.......yum.

That's the irony of it all isn't it? I can say to DH tonight 'hey, I'm going to have a glass of wine because I CAN!' but truth is I'd rather not be able to say that. I'm going to a hen do in two weekends' time and I was going to be the only sober one, expecting to be propping everyone elese up and retiring to bed early but now I can join in with the drinks and late night dancing on tables, etc. By the way, I am really out of touch with fashion (except for 4 year olds) and I have NO IDEA what I should wear. All suggestions welcome! My usual 'uniform' is jeans or demin skirt, and most of my clothes seem to come from Fat Face these days. I need help!

Brilliant thread Becky. I'd like to share that I received some amazing flowers today. My favourite gerberas in all my fave colours, bright red, orange and bright fuschia pink. How cheery is that?

Loved the rectangled quote. My DD (3) was reading a book the other day where you match up all the mummy animals with baby animals and she said "I'll just put the mummy pig next to her twiglets" - hahaha!

We're off on hol to greece next week and I'm really really looking forward to some great big greek salads with LOADS of that naughty feta cheese now!

Wishing you some smiles girls. xx

Hello everyone.

Here's a few positive thoughts for the day for us MC girls.

The pg hormones still in our bodies are great to help us conceive again, should we wish to do so. Others have told us they conceived again soon afterwards.

We are lucky to have partners willing to try again.

We have the certainty we can conceive, having been pg.

We can take this opportunity to become healthier for next time.

We can use this time to recharge our batteries, go on holiday, do that decorating job, do dangerous sports, take hard drugs (only kidding)

We will always have lovely support from each other on this site, as well as (hopefully)our family and partners.

I laughed at the twiglets! My DS2 always comes out with things like that. The flowers sound lovely.

msdynamo I love your post! That is all so true. We're having lunch in the garden today and the sun is shining and it feels great .

Where's the hard drugs? Send some this way! xx

Here's a happy thought. I'm not a prune any more! It was really strange after such a long break and it did hurt a little bit (is that normal?) and took me ages to get going (doesn't help that I have a blocked nose and I've lost my voice completely - really adds to the romance). But I'm just glad I'm not a born again virgin any mmore .

Hres a positive thought- sex. and lots of it. with DH of course

I've got some catching up to do I think!

Methinks I have lots of catching up to do in the sex dept!!! Can hardly remember what is was like. lol!

My happy thought for the day was being invited to ds's school to watch the children take part in a teddy bear's picnic and seeing their innocent, happy faces sitting with their friends outside clutching teddies! So cute.
We could also give them a little money to spend at various stalls the school had (toys, sweets, ice cream and plants/flowers) and was so touched on collecting ds at hometime as he had bypassed the toys etc and gone and bought me a lovely plant (nothing for himself as it cost all the money in his purse) because "mummy likes flowers". Had a big lump in my throat at what a thoughtful boy he is.

That is so cute .

msdynamo fantastic post, and all so true. It's nice that people can come on this thread and hopefully log off feeling a bit better. It's made me smile. X

My mum sent me 2 bars of green & blacks in the post today - that cheered me up no end. It's disappearing fast!

Poppy how amazing is your little boy? I would have blubbed. I agree about the sex, can't remember the last time we did it for fun and not coz it was day whatever of the cycle Hopefully some sun, sea n retsina on our hol may rectify that?? Ya never know xx

Mmm, just polished off Green and Blacks Almond and Milk choc, my fave, and been to the cinema yet again. Maybe I'll go every day, it certainly works as pure escapism!

msdynamo, what a fab post. You made me cry

I'm off to see Sex and the City tomorrow night - that huge bag of pic'n'mix with my name on it is bringing a smile to my face already

On Saturday we had a friend round, and her little boy (6 months) dropped something from his bouncy chair. My ds (15 months) toddled over, picked it up and gave it back to him. Then he clapped himself. My heart almost burst with pride! It was so cute. Bet the giving things to other people stage won't last for long though

Ooooh I want to see Sex and the City and take a bar of Green and Blacks with me!

charliesmum what a sweet story!

charliesmum, that is so cute! My 10mo at dinner clapped everytime I got spoon into his mouth. Almost like, well done mummy!

I was chopping onions the other day with the two DSs watching and they were sitting on the kitchen surfaces and DS1 said 'ooooh my eyes are stinging' and DS2 nodded vigorously in agreement so I told them that if you put a spoon in your mouth it stops the stinging so there we were, the three of us, with tea spoons in our mouths, me chopping and them watching and trying to talk 'mumth spoonth oniothhh mummthy'. I don't know how it works but it did!

I'm so glad I found this site. Its so fantastic and it makes me feel comfortable in around a group of women who have all been through a similar situation!
I, myself had my miscarraige 7 weeks ago at 12 weeks. I was prepared for it, had no bleeding, but starting to wonder if I have a sixth sense. Personally, I did not cry, I did not dwell. At Xmas my best friend died giving birth to her second son! To fall pregnant a month later, was maybe not the best idea anyway. The pain of losing someone so close, took away the pain of losing my baby. I had no more tears left. I think I'd go through this again if I could take her back. However, since this has happened, I've changed my view on a lot of things. Maybe somebody upstairs is out to get me, but I'm going to fight back. Myself, my hubby and my lovely son booked a holiday to Spain (we just got back last week). My son is great, he makes me laugh everyday and I try to tell myself I'm so lucky to have what I have, so many people in this world are a lot worse off. My friends husband is left with 2 children and I just have to look at him to not feel sad for myself!!
Also, trying to convince hubby for another trip abroad later in the year! Its nice to have something to focus on. I've just had my first period too, so kinda want to try for another. I feel I'm ready for it this time, I certainly wasn't emotionally ready in January.
Thank you ladies... this is a great site!

Lots of hugs and kisses your way. What a terrible start to the year.
With my latest m/c I found I too was able to focus on the positives of my life. I have the most...., I can't even think of a word to discribe my ds, he is just the greatest. I look at him and he makes me laugh. Anything else on top of the love I have for him and dp is a bonus.

Something disturbing happened to us last night, me and dp were in the act of TTC when ds woke up (he still in our bedroom) and started wildly laughing! It was quite off putting. I went over to him and he just looked so happy, little perv! Haha

he he Littleboyblue.. he does sound like a wee perv! My son is having an identity crisis at the moment, he's telling everyone he's called Keira and that he's 21. The Keira has come from a power rangers character (I hope) and the 21 is the age I've told him to tell everyone that his mummy is (just had my 30th, need to feel less old).
Kids are so funny!!
