Well... we needed a new thread title and that was all I had! lol

oooggs,go to the message in your inbox on FB and its in there

The picture is next to Annie's name!

Good evening all! Should be tucked up in bed, everyone else is, but like this quiet time on my own! Where are the pics of T&T`s babes, dying to see them. Busy day tomorrow, trying to get ready for the big cook on the big day! Felt sad this morning, went to the cemetery, our 14th Christmas without Matthewno tears today though, just feel so sad, hate just taking flowers, just want him here. I make it look Christmasy, do my darling Dads as well, he is in front of Matthew. Took photos this year for the first time, as my Mum finds it difficult to get there now, they lock the internal gates so that you can no longer drive right in, its too far for her to walk, such a shame. So I thought at least she can see that it all looked nice, if thats the right word. I am still shocked that I feel such anger when I am there, feel so angry that it happened, cheated for him and for us. Does that make sense?

Yes it makes perfect sense.

I didn't lose a child but I lost a very dear friend almost 20 years ago. He would have been involved in my wedding, godfather to my kids. He was one of those friends you knew you were lucky to have. Thought about him for the first time in ages the other day. Cried, got angry. I miss him dreadfully.

So... if it had been a child of mine... well I'd be just like you.

I have a client about to go into labour so I may not be around for the next day or so.

Happy Christmas to you all. Triplets... my heart is with you.

The babies can be seen on Annie's FB message. Their picture is by her name. Oh and T&T is going to try and get on tonight.

Love to you all. Please pray this is a quick one as I don't want to miss Christmas!

Praying for you Mars.............not off to a stable are you??? Happy Christmas to you all! xxx
ps. Thought about you in bed last night, Jan Sainsbury`s mag has an article on salsa!!

Evening ladies! I'm back ! Thanks for all your lovely messages, and an extra special thankyou to tigger for keeping everyone updated!

It's lovely to be home! I can't wait to crawl into my own bed! It's even better to come home with my beautiful babies !

I'll put photos up of them soon! xx

Gosh, how lovely to have you back with us, cannot wait to see the pictures, I sooooooo love new born babes, so so happy for you, well done! xxxx

Triplets sorry for your loss thinking of you today as we have visited Bs grave today. Please tell me it gets easier to cope with. I don't expect it to get better just not harder.

Hi,
Its so hard for you, the first couple of years are the worst I believe. For you you have the constant reminder of your sweet surviving baby, when Matthew died he was at that time our only child. Now as you can see we have our trio, life is so very different, and I love them so much, couldn`t bear to think of life without them, but want Matthew here too. Grief is strange, it has no format, not in my experience, though reading many books will tell you differently. Its now over 13 years for us, I still find myself talking out loud saying I cannot believe it has happened, he is not here, I will never see him again. I rarely cry now, the thing that makes me at times is music. Life has changed forever, I thought I would never laugh again, never be able to go back to places I had been to with Matthew. Well I have, you learn to live with your childs death, it becomes a part of you like breathing. I just know though that I will never be 100% happy again, I try, try so hard for the children for my family, but inside me my heart aches, and nothing sems to change that. Life goes on, we all have choices, sink or swim, and you will swim like me, because we owe it to them, lots of love to you this Christmas xxxxx

Thank you Triplets I'm just having a bad day today. Matthew looks a lovely little boy and I'm sure he would have been a wonderful young man. I do carry on for the sake of DD and George but you are right it is bittersweet he is an identical twin as I will always know what he should be like. I feel real grief for G as I don't know how it will affect him knowing he is an identical twin but only knowing his brother in the womb and very briefly out of it. Have a lovely christmas and thank you. I think the first of everything was the worst when my Dad died the first christmas without him, first fathers day etc. I just think back to this time last year when I was expecting twins and the amnio was fine and I was so excited by it all and now I am visiting the grave of my baby.

Sorry for moaning and thanks for listening.

So very very sorry for your loss mouse and triplets Christmas is such a hard time when you've lost a loved one

Photos should be up now...

Merry christmas everyone!

Aww, thanks momma! I'm beyond proud of them!

Hope you enjoy your first christmas with dante and nova!

charleymouse - lovely for you to pop in, hope your children have a fantastic Christmas - have been thinking about you

triplet&twins - lovely photo and names - making me broody

Oh Frumpy! Hope the pressies are ok - good ideas from Momma. I too have realised I have several things to get today (inc more wrapping paper), but DH is at work and I can't get to the shop with 4 children!

TandT - well done! Hope you have a lot of help in the next few days so you can relax and enjoy Christmas - what a great present for your trips!

Charleymouse and triplets - hope that Christmas day will be filled with sweet memories of your loved ones and that George has a fab first Christmas.

Love you all xx

My nephew was killed in March of this year (aged 22) and it will be a very hard Crimbo for us all as we do the big family meal - normally 20+ people and he will be sorely missed.
I am just hoping that the impending twinnies will help ease the pain for my sister and her family. I have asked her to be one of my birth partners, along with OH, and intend to give his name as a middle name to one of the twinnies. I know it's not much but I am hoping that if she is involved in some way she will see that life goes on. Does that sound unfeeling ?

merley that sounds lovely.

tid very quiet here today, I guess everyone is getting ready. Keep everything crossed for me, flights are being cancelled all over the place because of the fog yesterday. We're all packed, dp is currently finishing up at work and will be home soon.

Sending lots of thoughts for everyone who is missing somebody this Christmas. xxx

Oh Mars Triplets Charleymouse Merly

Christmas is always the time I think of the ones that should be here and how its not quite right without them. Big holes that can never be filled. I will be spending a little of my day thinking of them and of you girls that are sorely missing your darling children.

Momma, reindeer wee slush it is

Kelly, if there is only one flight that goes.......MAY IT BE YOURS DARLING!!!!

Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly have a superduper fantastic time, it will be great, We wondered round the Magic Kingdom in shorts and santa hats in 2002
