JDI - lovely to hear from you. I hope that your wrist is healing nicely and that you are not in too much pain.

CD - how are you feeling now?

Swaliswan - hope your sickness is beginning to ease.

I am still feeling sick and struggling to eat. please keep praying. Have now told DC about the baby as DD1 was convinced i was dying and the sickness was going on for too long for me to fob her off. She has of course announced the fact to everyone who she sees - slightly relieved in some ways as now people will realise I'm not just being an antisocial cow by not staying for a chat in the playground etc. Also praise God that many people from church have offered to help me the week after next when DH is away - was really worried about how i would cope for 9 days as unable to stand the smell of cooking, the fridge and even the kitchen at the moment.

Swaliswan · 13/10/2008 19:43

Evening everybody.

Praying for you all.

I just thought that I would come and give you a brief update. My sickness was great on wednesday and thursday after acupuncture on tuesday evening but it is now back with avengence. I've been sent home sick from work today as I couldn't manage to do any work for having to run off and be sick. I've been told to not go back in this week and feel really fed up. I keep hoping that the sickness will go soon as I'm over 12 weeks now. At least I have another session of acupuncture tomorrow. Anyway, off to the midwife on wednesday and hopefully that will be good.

JentlyDoesIt · 13/10/2008 20:21

Hi all,

Prayers for you Dippy my love and your "shakiness"

Prayers for your sickness to come to an end soon Loonywoman and SS.

Lots of praise from us as my cousin had a baby girl (no name yet) at 12.15 lunchtime today. 7lb exactly and born at home after a 6 hour labour (jealous, moi?!) I am a little that I will never have a newborn again but that I have a 2nd cousin!

MaryBS · 14/10/2008 07:08

Very true FAQ!

I'm reading an interesting book by Bridget Plass, and she makes some interesting points, which described just how things have been for me. Will try to find time to quote some of it later...

Please pray for N, the lady who had the ear infection and had the ear closed off. She is in hospital with an infection in her other ear

DutchOma · 14/10/2008 07:56

Praying for you Dippy, for dh, while away and for your dear three. May the Lord give you strength for the coming day.
Praying for N too, Mary and for you as you support her.
May I ask for prayer for Bob and Margaret again, things are getting very tough there, with Bob sliding into dementia. Thankfully their church is a little more supportive at the moment.

CaptainDippy · 14/10/2008 08:12

Lots of prayers for Bob and Margaret, DO. So sad for them.

My girls are so stroppy. Such hard work. Sigh.

MaryBS · 14/10/2008 08:45

Praying Podmog. Maybe you need to say that what you need is company, not to talk. (Am not at all fabulous either )

Notquitegrownup · 14/10/2008 09:00

Good morning all. Prayers for those who are shaky, and those who need the arms of their loving Father to hold them close - or simply to carry them - today.

Mufti, how is dh?

CF - how are you and your dcs?

I'm going to see Bridget Plass next month Mary! Will report back then.

God bless all.

CaptainDippy · 14/10/2008 09:48

Thank you nqgu - that's me!

Awwwww, Podmog - me too- wish we lived closer & we could keep each other company!!

amber32002 · 14/10/2008 10:21

Prayers for each person as I read through what's written. CD, really hope and pray you feel more soon and your girls manage to be less stroppy. Podmog, praying for your friends to know just what to do. Swaliswan, praying that your sickness goes. I remember it well - 'orrible. Dutchoma, prayers for Bob and Margaret, and Jently, many congrats on the arrival of the family's new little one .

Me? Feeling a bit lost, as a place I thought would be safe turns out not to be, and I'm left trying to deal with some fairly stroppy individuals with less support than I usually have to keep me cheerful. . I'll get through it. God is good...and so are the people on here.

Evenstar · 14/10/2008 10:34

I am just taking things one day at a time thanks Dutchoma. That is really all I can manage at the moment. The church have been very supportive and I have a bereavement counsellor from their pastoral care team. Children are doing OK, but DS2 (11) is starting counselling this week as school as he is having problems with everything, plus change to secondary. Thanks for remembering me, I have an ongoing thread in bereavement where I update fairly regularly.

CaptainDippy · 14/10/2008 10:57

You all continue to be in my thoughts & prayers Evenstar. xxxx

Life seems to be a bit of a slog for so many of us on here atm, doesn't it!!? We need Jesus more than even, I think

CaptainCaveman · 14/10/2008 11:42

Dear dippyone did you go to the gp yet? If not, is there something stopping you from going? Praying for you.

Prayers for you all, just dipping in to say Hi!

I need help to get O to go to sleep by himself. I am rubbish at it and as a result he only sleeps for long periods when cuddled up to me
