Pray that this little one hangs on!!

[melbournemum]

After 10 years of fertility treatments, countless failed IVF cyclces and four heartbreaking miscarriages (all at around five weeks), my brother phoned me tonight to tell me that he was sitting on his sofa looking at a scan picture of a little tiny being with a strong heartbeat at seven weeks! Its early days but all the signs are good and this is the furthest they have ever come. I am just sending a heartfelt plea for all of you, whatever your beliefs, to send a little prayer or positive thought that this little baby makes it. I really really believe it makes a difference. We've been praying hard ever since the IVF cycle and I dreamt they had a little girl! They will be wonderful parents. So please send a thought of strength and life and hope and love and whatever else to help this most precious little person make it safely into the world.
thanks with the biggest lump in my throat xx

Dear Aunty Strawberry (that's what you shall be known as forevermore) and all Aunty Mumsnetters

Db is adamant BLB is a boy, sil is so delighted to be pregnant and just wants a baby, whichever way he or she comes and I have always imagined its a little girl, mainly because whenever I dream about 'her', its a girl. Do you know I actually day dream about putting my 'BLB is born' post up!! SIL has tentatively starting talking about names which is so so lovely.

It's lovely to hear that everything is going well.

Hi BLB,

i've been thinking of you every day, even though I havn't had time to post recently.

Take care little one, keep growing bigger and stronger every day (although maybe not too much bigger..we don't want to give mummy too many problems when you arrive!!!!) And keep up the footie practise, it makes mummy very happy!
