Hugs apple, xxx

apple I am so sorry. I had an eprc in 2010 at about 10 weeks and it wasn't necessarily a pleasant experience but gave me closure on the pregnancy. You need to do what feels right for you. Do keep talking, you will feel better with time and a healthy baby will be worth the wait

Oh apple I'm so sorry We're here if you need to talk. Thinking of you x

Big hugs apple. I have no experience or advice at all but others are offering lots of good advice. I will offer a virtual handhold. Make sure you have someone looking after you xxxx

huge hugs apple I'm so sorry. rest as much as you can and get lots of cuddles from your lovely C xxxxxxx

Massive hugs to you apple. I am sorry.

Big cuddles apple. Xxx

Grumpy birthday here. LO nap dodged so was grumpy. Her sister kicked her arse to get at her presents. So both were grumpy after getting bolloxed. I didnT sleep so was a grumpy xanaxed waste of space, and dh had to work...

I did cook a delicious meal though, and we had a walk along the river but had to dodge cyclists all the long (every French cyclist goes from June to November convinced that they are actually in the tour de france).

Skyping the family and family in law tomorrow...

I hope you all have ok nights, and sending another hug to apple

Don't know if you want to hear it but when my mmc was picked up on the scan my ob gyn said it is a disappointment, but they really do happen for a good reason, and that this one just wasn't meant to be. Nothing anyone could have done, nature just does her work. I wanted to kill him for saying it was a 'disappointment' but he was right. Doesn't take away the pain, and the hormones make everything so much worse. But you will get past this.

Night quiche. I'm going to pop a pill to get through it because am almost hallucinating by lack of sleep and stress.

Apple, no words here really. I had a mc and it was the most devastating thing at that time. Just look after yourself.

Pr, happy birthday to mini pr.

GT I've just found the article I wanted to send you a week or so ago when you were having BF wibbles. I'm not sure if this is still the case or not but this article offered real closure to me on my 'quitting bfing' guilt trip.

How could I have forgotten, happy birthday wee raleuse!

I'm spending this evening wrapping birthday presents for next week. And drinking . I can't believe the bear is going to be one.

Tomorrow we are off to a pal's woodland wedding in Birnam Wood of Macbeth fame in rural Perthshire. Everyone has to wear wellies (though Jonas isn't as he hasn't got any!). He is however wearing his first ever kilt ensemble. The bride to be gave us her son's old one. And fairy wings (as all the kids are). And tights as it's going to be verrrr chilly. Having read that MIL will have a fit if she ever saw photographic proof of said getup. Tights are not, I know, what most Scotsmen wear under their kilt. I think MIL would prefer to see him in some twee Paul Gasgoine's wedding Hello magazine cheesy faux baby suit and shirt. Not going to happen .

I've just bought a pair of my favourite Gap jeans in my new (smaller!!) size on eBay for 99p. BNWT! Hahaha who goes out and buys these items for full price anymore? Or am I just rewarding shoplifters?

Anyone else doing anything nice this weekend?

Sounds fantastic YW! What great fun.

P had a lovely time at her first Canadian thanksgiving. It was lovely as the hosts told us that knowing p has made them think they want to start a family. Even when she whinged with tiredness.

I always feel a bit guilty when I read people's bargainous purchases on eBay because it never occurs to me to look which makes me feel very wasteful. I do wonder when you see sellers with a range of items all from different brands all BNWT. One Christmas DH and I went shopping then stopped off for a pint. A woman came round our table with loads of bags of shopping offering to sell us it. She had clearly stolen them and it made me feel a bit sicky.

So sorry apple. I have been there twice, and it is so hard. I think waiting for nature to take its course is a good idea, and as sophia said! dates can be out sometimes, even if you think you're sure. Huge ((hugs)) xxx

Happy birthday petite PR

Poor n banged her head on the corner of the bed and it came up in a proper good egg. Right before bedtime too, so I've had to keep her up for a bit to check she's ok. She's asleep now and I'm sat on the bed next to her feeling a bit paranoid.

Tomorrow DH wants to cook a Sunday lunch so that will pretty much take the day! Having a leisurely Sunday lunch in used to be one of my absolute favourite things. Now that p is older it is loads of fun.

Then back to work after a lovely holiday.

Gah! Many happy returns petitest petite. Hope you are feeling better tomorrow pr

Poor we soul kirrin. And poor you

No plans for tomorrow other than food shopping. Sundays are family days and I find them hard. Had a nice day today but I feel like I haven't stopped all week. I'm shattered and me and Oscar both have a cold as well. Would like a week off please. Anyway, am going to spend the week preparing for my date and pampering myself in the evenings.

Evening fred
How is everyone?
I'm currently watching never been kissed awaiting the arrival of a v drunk DH. He's been out since 12 with work, said he do 5 hours and then come home. 10 hours later....

M has just woke up crying her eyes put, brought her downstairs for cuddles and she's red hot. Her cheeks are bright red and even her hands are hot she's that warm she was fine an hour ago. Will keep an eye on her. Might sleep in her room seeing as I'll get no sleep with drunken snoring

Ha Fatima ! DP went out for a pint last night with the guys either side of us. "Just one" he said. "I'll be home before 10" he said. The 3 of them rolled down the street at 1am. He has no memory of sitting on the loo last night and shouting down the stairs "I'm just having a weeeeee!"

kirrin am getting regular head bumps here too. I check for immediate crying, pupils reacting to light, both pupils acting the same way, no drowsiness (but as bumps often happen at bed time that one isn't easy), no fever and, most importantly, smiles within the time it takes to stop crying.

Ha ha mm
I spoke to DH when I was on my way home at 7:30 and asked if he wanted picking up. Said no, he'd get a taxi in an hour. Spoke to him at half 9 "will you pick me up?" "err no" "ok i'll get a taxi".
He's just rung, 20 mins later to ask the same thing

We'll laugh about it later but it really fucks me off because it sets off my anxiety. I end up thinking he's dead in a ditch somewhere

FUCKING HELL! He's just rung me again, he's walked to by the police station waiting for me to pick him up. Even though I've told him twice to get a taxi. He's going to end up arrested or dead isn't he?

Am I going to have to get M out of bed and go get him?

Call a taxi for him fatima. Tell him to stay put and keep him on the phone

Yep Fatima call a taxi to pick him up.

I've just spoken to him again, told him I'll be there in 15 as I'll need to wake M up. He's got all indignant, saying no don't wake her up I'll get a taxi. He's been wandering around town for the last 45 mins supposedly doing that
God he really infuriates me when he's pissed. I want to shout at him for being a selfish dickhead but I know that he won't remember 10 minutes later never mind tomorrow morning.

Sorry for the moan, you probably think we're both idiots. Just he can be the nicest guy ever but I really don't like him when he's drunk. He hardly gets drunk anymore since having M but then he goes out, gets leathered and I'm back to feeling how I felt 2 years ago
