I know it isn't easy, but try to focus on the fact that you have the perfect little family, you and O. He is not with you physically, but he is still your baby. I remember similar days when I was single, and would be torn apart by seeing babies. Babies everywhere, when I had lost mine and had been told I could not have any more. But you know how my story turned out and you will have a happy ending too

Can't I have my happy ending now? I feel very poorly equipped for life at the moment.

Joining in the group hug. chasing you know where we all are when you need us.

Jumps in to group hug.

The last two hours have been crazy.

All happy, husband happily ploughing, kids playing. 5:30ishdh comes in, happy with u keep and aunt in law. I think a ha. Wine o'clock. Just enjoying a sip and Ds1 boa kea all over kitchen floor.

I clear up took f ages

O is not himself, take temp, 39

SIL turns up with DNeice so we strip o mop brow.

I stink.

Ds1 stinks

O is a radiator

Anyway me and ds1 had a massive bubbly bath. He is ok now. O has gone to bed, warm, but not burning. Just in a vest and I have lined up pjs, clean vest, and new bedding in his room Incase he pukes too.

Cassoulet in the oven. Wine poured.

for all then!

And an extra splosh in Chasings glass.

First blood injury here today, when f decided to see if toddlers can fly (they can't). She has a splendid chin based war wound

I am waiting for J to vom too Sophia. The girls are much better this evening. I am quite horrified at how quickly my mood dips when he is not well. I start getting iffy when the girls are not well, as I know it is a matter of time before he gets it, and when he does, plop there goes my mood.

Yep BP. Nothing like the first blood wound

I'm a bit worried. Scared actually. My mood is scarily dark. I can't ever remember feeling so alone. All I can hear is my neighbours having fun. I'm scared that O isn't here to stop me doing something stupid.

Poo J just deleted. Call someone Chasing. Someone to be with you. Or Samaritans or go to hospital. Please darling x

You need physical support tonight x

chasing can you go to your dad's? Call a friend? I agree that if you are really struggling then call NHS direct or the Samaritans. You know we are all here for you.

chasing You need a big cuddle. Gould you get your dad over? Gould you go to your dads?

Found you gatecrash the neighbour?

Can you come round here DH is watching the Grand Prix and I think is boring?

My dad is out of the country. There is literally nobody. I think I'll sleep.

There is NHS24. There is someone at the end of the Samaritans phone line. We are here and the down under gang will be around overnight. I do hope you can sleep, but if you cannot, please call the above x

Chasing, please call someone. I think you are friends in RL with some of the lovely ladies on here. Call them if you need to if there is no one else to call.
Or stay and post on here if nothing else if you can't sleep.
Remember one bad day is just that - one bad day. Think of all the good days you have had. I know it can be scary but you have an amazing life ahead of you with your gorgeous O. He is yours and needs you to keep yourself safe whether he is at home or not.
big hugs

Chasing I hope you're just in the loo - call me back

A friend's sister is in hdu with their baby, I'm lending her R's tiny clothes because he was only 6lb at birth. I can't bear to get rid permanently but need the space and this seems like a good compromise (I'll be disappointed but not devastated if they don't come back). I've also made a little white cotton hat with a fluffy pink brim, should I include it? I've never met the parents and don't really know the friend that well... It's crochet so only took me about half an hour, not a huge effort or owt...

Chasing I am so sorry for whinging I've only just seen this. I think I have your number saved so will try calling, if it helps I am feeling equally alone tonight. Would you like to skype? It's terrifying. It really is. But tomorrow is another day. I'm told this is rock bottom, so tomorrow will be better. You aren't alone, we are all here xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Chasing I hope you are doing ok sweetheart. I hope you are either asleep, or talking to one of the lively people who have offered to lend an ear. Tomorrow is nearly here, make it your mission to get up, and walk in the sun. Remember, this is one shitty low day in a run of wonderful happy ones. Just a blip xx

Lively?! Possibly not at this hour, but hopefully lovely

I'm certainly not feeling lively so I'm off to bed.

chasing I hope you're sleeping peacefully. Sweet dreams and I pray for a brighter day for you tomorrow xx

Vq - same re:dip in my mood when sore bottoms come back (tooth related) we can have weeks of peachy pink lovely bottoms then straight into hell where I can't touch him, he won't sit down and won't let water near him. I really, really don't enjoy the teething situ.

Chasing -

pp that is lovely, and shows what a lovely person you are, they will just be touched someone cared enough?!so go for it.

Suffering from hayfever this morning, argh.

chasing I'm sorry! I didn't see your last text! fall asleep early. Hope the other ladies kept you company.

Going to see my parents and my sister, it's her bday tmrw. O drew a picture for her scribbles and dots, how did that happen? My baby is a proper little girl now. Went to the shop this am early and she chose a cinnamon whirl for breakfast .
