Sometimes it feels like I'm drowning, there's so much to think about. Too much really, and I know other people have got it much much harder than me, but does that make my shit any less painful or dificult. I've picked up an email from a family friend tonight, and it in she says 'so sorry to hear about your split from X but you're a strong women and there's people worse off. That's probably not much comfort is it, but it's a good way of thinking about stuff and putting things in to proportion'

Oh well cheers then It must be nice to be so fucking comfortable with life.

I've done lists until I end up with lists of lists. But don't seem to be getting anywhere, H stuff, newborn worries, scared about the future with 3 little ones, how we'll cope.

I suppose being hospitalised and having my problems taken seriously has helped a bit. My stress level isn't as high now, but I'm not relaxed at all. Geez I'm just waffling now.

Gawd I'm really bloody sick today, stress has really got to me today, ds has been so lovely though. He seems very interested in me throwing up, just stands there watching me. I hate being so fucking useless to him. And some relatives came by today, which I could have done without, but what can you do? Tell them to bugger off? 'Bloody hell you're massive' isn't exactly comforting

I feel like hanging a sign on the door 'Enter at your peril'

dizzy honestly you have not fucked up your life or that of DS or DDs, you will all feel happy to have each other and your parents would not be without any of you, it's 100% fuckmuppet's loss and his life down the pan, not yours x

If people come round get them doing jobs if you would rather they weren't there. They might leave you alone for a bit .

Hope you have a good day.

dizzymare · 15/09/2009 13:25

Thanks Pastures, and FBG I've got a whole long list of stuff, are you offering

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 15/09/2009 16:31

No if you don't want me there .

Get people who you want to leave you alone to do the annoying stuff and nice people will help with the other stuff and not out stay their welcome.

Dizzy just emailed me and asked if I would let people know she is back in hospital. On a drip because of dehydration - hopes to be home tomorrow.

Deemented · 17/09/2009 20:11

Thanks for letting us know, Shabs x

oooggs · 18/09/2009 20:15

hope you are home dizzy and that all is well

dizzymare · 18/09/2009 20:20

I'm here

Kicked up a bit of a fuss, they only wanted to keep me in tonight so I could be scanned again first thing tomorrow. Hence me being home, but I've got to be back early for the scan then if my fluid levels have increased again then I'm a free women. If not I'm back in again

Fingers crossed for an increase!

Good to see you back, babes.

How you feeling?

dizzymare · 18/09/2009 21:03

Better I hadn't realised how fucking shit I'd been feeling until today. Ds missed me, it's taken nearly an hour and half to get him settled 'mummy back' is all he's kept saying, we both had a wee weep. He's such a sensitive little chap.

I emailed you this afternoon, I was a wee bit excited

OP posts:
Deemented · 18/09/2009 21:10

Bugger - i forgot to check my emails.

Glad to hear you're ok - what time d'you hafta be back tomorrow?

dizzymare · 18/09/2009 21:18

9am I was hoping for a lie-in

Ds will be up early anyway, and we're taking him with us so he can see his sisters

OP posts:
oooggs · 18/09/2009 21:27

glad you are home, ds seeing his sisters - that will be exciting

dizzymare · 18/09/2009 21:29

He won't have a clue what he's looking at, it's more for my benefit really .

I just need to know he's seen them, and tomorrow's a perfect opportunity.

OP posts:
oooggs · 18/09/2009 21:33

I never knew what I was looking at

Need any baby girl clothes? I am sorting out and getting rid if you want a nice practical bundle. I know twins is an expensive business.

shabbapinkfrog · 18/09/2009 21:39

'ds going to see his sisters' that sounds so lovely

AngelaCarleen · 18/09/2009 21:41

Fingers crossed you wont end up back in tomorrow dizzy
xx

dizzymare · 18/09/2009 21:45

Christ shabbs, how come a few words from you make me cry

oooggs, that would be great, if you're totally sure. I'm more than happy to pay, I'd feel happier iukwim. Don't think I'm weird, but I don't want anything here until I've got past 24weeks, can you wait a while

OP posts:
shabbapinkfrog · 18/09/2009 21:48

oh Dizzy when my grandson was born the girls on MN sent him soooo many lovely gifts - one of the multiple mums sent him loads of tiny white babygro's and vests that her twins had worn. He 'lived' in them for weeks. Great bunch of friends that I have never met in RL Can understand why you want to hang on for a little while though - you dont need to be about your feelings.

oooggs · 18/09/2009 21:53

Waiting a while is fine dizzy and I totally understand - I will put aside the nice stuff and wait for 24 weeks with you (& shabs )

dizzymare · 18/09/2009 22:03

Thanks oooggs, someone else on MN offered me some stuff but I can't remember who now and it's rude to ask

OP posts:
Deemented · 18/09/2009 22:31

Sorry - had to dissapear quickly - it's been a rough day. Am back now.

And i've got a tear or two at the thought of DS seeing his sisters too

dizzymare · 18/09/2009 22:34

Me too Dee, it doesn't help with the crashing thoughts of 'what if it's the only time'

Am just going to find bliss now.

OP posts:
Deemented · 18/09/2009 22:41

Oh sweetheart, it won't be the only time at all.

I bet in the years to come, you'll be sick of saying 'DS, will you please leave your sisters alone?'
