LG&T, I don't know if you will read this thread tonight, but I just want to repeat what I have said on the other. That daughter of yours is an absolute poppet, no matter what any doctor says or blood tests show, she is a lovely angel and no one can take that away from you. You are one very special lady with lots of strength and you will cope. She will grow up with much love and support from you both. Thinking of you all xxx

I am not good girls. I have a very bad headache and keep being sick. It doesnt feel like a migraine just pressure.

I keep seeing her little face and want to burst in to tears. I know she is ok and will be ok. I just feel like i want to stop it all heppening and protect her I feel useless.

JamInMyWellies · 02/04/2008 11:27

oh sweetheart if you want to rant mail me and I will pass on my mob.

cameroonmama · 02/04/2008 11:56

You are so not useless, you are absolutely the best mummy I have ever met, and you will continue being a great mummy because that is what defines you. As N said P will never know what she is missing out on, just think how she will get to avoid all that teenage angst! She is a strong little girl and will deal with what life has thrown at her in a very practical way I should imagine. All she needs is mum's and dad's love and the company of many protective brothers!

But she needs you strong and not in tears all the time.

We are all here for you so feel free to rant and rave away from the dc to your heart's content, just don't start blaming yourself.

cameroonmama · 02/04/2008 12:11

Sorry that sounded a bit hearless

I just meant that you are sure to feel low and sad about it for a while to come, especially until you learn all the facts and have all your questions answered, but maybe it would be good to try not to let P see your pain so she does not start worrying too. Having only one dd almost the same age as Phin, I can imagine how your dreams for her future may have to change. However at least you have an early diagnosis....

cameroonmama · 02/04/2008 12:11

heartless, even

Pinkjenny · 02/04/2008 12:32

LG & T - can't imagine how hard this is for you, but we are all here, just as you always are for us.

I often wonder at how amazingly supportive I always find you, day or night, whether its on line or off line, and the amount of strength I draw from you. I couldn't have got through these months without you. If I feel like that, and I've never met you, I can't begin to imagine how cherished you are as a mummy.

Phin will have her own dreams for her future, and you'll support and encourage her in whatever she does, I'm sure. She has plenty of time to deal with whatever life throws at her in respect of this condition, and all you can do is exactly what you always do anyway, love her and be there for her.

TillyScoutsmum · 02/04/2008 12:45

((((LG&T)))) - I haven't "known" you for long but fwiw, I think you are an amazing lady - you have 6 gorgeous dc's, a dh who works away a lot, you work part time and still have time to keep chickens and bake cakes FFS ! If anyone can get through this, you can. I know you probably don't feel strong now but you are

Its so hard wanting to protect our dc's against anything nasty in life, but sometimes, sh*t is sent to try us. I'm sure all sorts of things were going through your mind yesterday and whilst it is still awful, your dd is here and is not going to be in pain and is capable of having a perfectly "normal" life (whatever that may be). The infertility thing must be hard to imagine but at least she'll know and be able to plan for it (ivf, adoption etc.) Who knows ? Maybe all those brothers of hers will put her off boys for life and she'll not want to settle down and have children

Take it easy xxx

lg&t sweetie, I'm sure like everyone else I can not stop thinking about this for you.

You are not useless, unable to change what is happening, Yes, but not useless in the love and support you always give. When you have had time to come to terms with what lies ahead things will get easier. P will really not be too affected by this, yes it's not fair or even right that she has to go through it but she will not know any different really as the years go by. She will manage this situation and so will you, I'm sure your dreams for her will be fulfilled one day , even if they are gone about a different way, she is a strong willed, spirited little princess. Nothing is going to get in her way through life.

largeginandtonic · 02/04/2008 16:26

I have put some pics on of her

I am better, think my body was having a wobble. An early diagnosis is good and we will be ok. I just cant imagine having to tell her any of this

Pink you made me cry (in a good way)you are a fab mummy and just need someone to poke you and tell you that occasionally

Mrsjaffabiffa · 02/04/2008 19:08

She is so gorgeous! No wonder you love her so much.

It's OK to wobble but glad you are not feeling quite so wobbly.

You are great!!

Juicylucytoo · 02/04/2008 19:42

LG&T - Been thinking about you all day. Glad you're feeling less wobbly. You're such an amazing mum and have lots of support in RL and on here. I know you'll get through this. xxx

Your DD is gorgeous BTW

mom2latinoboys · 02/04/2008 19:46

LG&T,

She is so cute, all of your kids are! They definitely hit the genetic lottery, but then again you are their mom.

I found this website for you and it has some really interesting links. Hope it helps you.

"Here it is"

Lupins71 · 02/04/2008 21:14

LGT you are soooooooooooo not useless - big telling off from lupins, I dont not know any other woman who copes like you do - you are amazing, as the others said you will all deal with this as a family, what she will need is love and support and I think Im not alone in saying you are one of the most loving supportive families I have ever come across, Phin will find dreams and ambitions of her own and will no doubt conquer them with you as her mother behind her all the way, and those brothers of hers backing her and protecting her, I cannot imagine what you are going through, I have no doubt that you must be broken hearted, worried out of your mind and at a loss as to what to do what happens and why this has happened to your angel, but you still have a fantastic and gorgeous daughter - anyway if she ends up a little shorter than most its not a bad think - look at me as I have always been told good things come in small packages, diamonds for example and chocolate chips, big hugs to you - you fab lady

Evening all, well a five day break at centerparcs was lovely except FIL needs more looking after than the two kids. He and they had a great time it is just DH and I that will be reluctant about a repeat performance. I will try a different one next time as you are all too far away for a day visit.
I have been laying flooring all day today and DH thinks we may be able to move in by the end of the month. He is fitting skirtings and architraves at the weekend. The velux blinds have arrived all we need now is some furniture. DD is having bunk beds in her room and G is having her furniture. Woohoo, he will soon be out of his crib and into a cot. We now have all utilities to the building but not the final connections. The kitchen fitter is on site and the tiler is coming tomorrow to get cracking on the bathroom, hopefully we will have heating by the weekend as well.
I went to church last Sunday and spoke to the rector (who I have not met previously) and he says although G is christened he will do a blessing. Well I have to have his photos in the christening gown to show his girlfriends don't I.
Anyone elses little ones affected by the clock change, DD fell asleep on way home from nursery at 17:30 last night and slept through until we woke her at 07:15 this morning.

Sorry not up to speed but a bit hectic at the mo but thanks April, glad the scan was ok Sky. Hope the colposcopy goes ok LG&T and I have posted on you other thread.

Hugs to you all and your little ones. Night night love Charley

charleymouse · 03/04/2008 00:23

So sorry forgot to say thanks for Cam and Anne posting on my other thread. Cheers. I have not yet returned and posted as can't deal with it again yet but will soon.

charleymouse · 03/04/2008 07:22
