Triplets and Shabbys song

This must be our song my darling.

Ahem [gooseberry]

Hugs and smiles Trips, glad things have gone as planned! Sleep very very very very well xxxxx

estar you still around?

So glad it went ok, Trips. You must feel wrung out.

Hope the conversation with the consultant goes OK today - let us know. I'll have to loiter again for news, ladies, but does anyone want a pancake whilst I'm here? I'm doing them for the kids, but can easily double the mixture ...

Morning everybody [knackered emoticon]

Been awake since 6am!!

Trips hope everything goes well today. Tell H we are thinking about him please.

I think I have said the right thing with regards to my DS1 - can anybody help? He is having really awful nightmares, every night, about his DS due on June 10th. I know that his DP is having them as well because we have laughed about them and compared nightmares. I told Dan that I think it is very common for Dads as well as Mums to have bad dreams in pregnancy.

I told him that I think if his two brothers hadn't died he probably wouldn't be this anxious. Kept trying to reassure him that everything is going to be fine. He described a couple of the dreams and they are horrific. Probably why I have had a very restless night.

He is thinking about going back to see a brilliant psyciatrist (sure thats wrong spelling) who he has seen over the years. He said he feels a bit of a 'fraud' because he should be over the moon that he is going to be a daddy. I told him that I'm proud of him for admitting his head is a bit messed up.

Who would have kids?? Us lot obviously

He should see him! He's had a lot of trauma in his life. I think it might have been slightly different if he was expecting a girl. Do encourage him to go. He needs to find a way to deal with the death of his brothers in context with the life of his son.

You're lovely Shabby!

Thank you Mars.

I never thought about the 'different if baby was a girl.' I knew the minute I saw the first scan it was a little boy!

He just texted me to tell me that he has made an appointment. The man he sees is very strict with him and reduces him to tears in minutes. He always comes away refreshed and upbeat.

good luck witht he consultant this morning. It sounds good though, glad he is doing so well.

triplets, that was great to read. I hope today is ok. Keep us posted, we're all sitting here on deckchairs with hobknobs......

Shabs, (1) I think having bad dreams and nightmares before a baby arrives is totally normal and fine. I had two extemely upsetting dreams towards the end of my pg with DD1 where I half woke to find the grim reaper standing beside me in my bed. I was terrified!!!! It scared the life out of me!!!! I think lots of things go through your mind at this stage (that feeling of "we can't go back and what if we don't like having a baby"). He (they) is being bombarded with information about what it will be like. He won't be sleeping as soundly and therefore his brain will be in the perfect state to welcome nightmares.

(2) I ditto Mars about seeing the counselor. IME, a good one can be an absolute gem. He might only need to go once or twice to do a little maintenance on his feelings. I think it would be a great idea.

They are feeling the pressure. I remember that feeling. You are popped up on a pedestal in pregnancy and then you worry you can't 'deliver'.

You are lovely xxxx.

And he is most welcome to add to my lake/loch. If we can cry it big enough we can do sightseeing tours. Maybe even get a little loch monster

WELCOME TO LOCH FG!

Step inside for the ride, scream if you want to go faster

He's still nameless . Spent an hour with all 5 trying to look through name books in Waterstones at the weekend, while simultaneously drinking hot chocolate but nothing, no inspiration so far.

No time to catch up. Hope you're all doing well.

Triplets, thinking of you and hoping all goes well with your DH and his treatment.

Prince - that is a great name!!

Thank you Rubester - Dan is a joy and a delight.

He made Emma laugh so much, on Sunday, that she had to run for a wee!! He is quick witted and more than a touch sarcastic Dont know where he gets that sarcastic tongue from - must be his Dads side.

Morning girls!!

Shabs, I had really bad dreams too. I kept 'forgetting' the babies and would go into a blind panic. Or I would forget to feed them. I also dreamt of the birth alot,where I could only see two of the babies faces and I thought it was some kind of omen!! . Not gruesome,but very stressful.

Well, tis my friends funeral today . I am not going to the main service I am going to say my goodbyes after when everyone has left. I don't do well in crowds and alot of my friends are treating it as some kind of great get together,which is fine, but not my style. I am very old fashioned and believe funerals should be sad and that you should reflect,then after that day you dry your tears and start to build up all the happy thoughtsand carry on as best you can.
Going out for a meal after someone has died is something I couldn't do. I would honestly feel physically sick.

These are my views by the way and not how I think everyone else should live their life,so please don't be offended if you believe something else.

I've waffled Why the hell is it that I feel I have to tell you all everything? I'll be running in everytime I have a wee soon shouting "I've been!!"

Anyway you know my 24 hour rule,wallow move on so if I am quiet thats why

Tiggs - I'm just going for a poo - wont be a minute.

You and me both love -

Thinking about you today Tiggy - me owd mucker.

Didnt mean a real poo - just a virtual one.

Hello

Trips - glad to hear the op went well, keep us updated on news, hope you're feeling better and got a good night's sleep.
