Thanks to Thumbwitch for inspiring the title of this new thread. Smile

I will do my very best to minimise my worrying about the future as none of us know what it holds. For now, it's all about celebrating Beatrice's life today, every day.

As always, please feel free to follow us on our journey, and thank you in advance for the wonderful advice I am bound to receive from fellow parents, of SN children or otherwise.

Here's to a positive, uneventful thread!

Hope you all have a lovely time at Bea's baptism! What will she be wearing? :)

Such fabulous news, Bea communicating and being hungry

I hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow but am going to have to demand photos of all your gorgeous girls in their finery, please xxx

Managed to peak at your pics. Absolutely love them. Bea beaming. All the girls together, bath time and the tea set. Stunning xx

Love that Lip Smackin' Bea is asserting herself re the feeding! She obviously knows her own mind - fab!

Have a wonderful day tomorrow - praying many blessings on Bea and the cupfamily.

Wishing you a beautiful day tomorrow. Tell the real godmothers that there are several hundred virtual standins! I love Bea getting into feeling full and telling you about it in the early hours.

You came to mind while I was at church this morning, smiled to think of you and your beautiful daughters. Pray it went well

cup glad Beatrice now enjoying her food. Hope today went well and look forward to seeing more gorgeous photos of the little princess.

cupofteaplease · 11/03/2012 20:07

Thank you for your best wishes. Smile

We had a perfect day. The sun shone so all the children present went out to run and play on the cricket pitches. Beatrice had lots of cuddles and was spoilt with gifts.

In church we sang Morning Has Broken and This Little Light Of Mine. We had a hairy moment with the baptism candle as oxygen and open flames don't mix...Hmm Grin

This evening I feel a little maudlin as it always hits home at times like this how much I miss my Dad being alive to share the good times. He'd love Beatrice, he really would.

Anyway, tomorrow we go to Oxford to meet the gastro surgery team, then go onto the hospice for a 3 night stay. But before that, I'm taking Bea to yoga and for a weigh in. Fingers and toes crossed please that she's gained some weight!!

Glad you've all enjoyed a perfect day Smile

Hoping Bea has put on some weight and good luck in Oxford! x

fabwoman · 11/03/2012 20:19

Sounds like you had a lovely day.

DutchOma · 11/03/2012 20:53

So glad you had a lovely day. Prayers that all will be well tomorrow.

pannetone · 11/03/2012 22:24

I lit a candle for Bea at church today especially for her baptism day. I was thinking what a light Bea is to so many lives, including so many of us on MN. So I think that the hymn you sang - 'This Little Light of Mine' is just perfect. Let it shine, shine, shine Bea!

Prayers for the week ahead x

CheshireDing · 12/03/2012 03:00

Good luck in Oxford and with Bea's weight gain.

Glad you all had a lovely day today.

LittlePebble · 12/03/2012 07:35

Glad yesterday went well, good luck in Oxford today xx

PenelopeCruisewear · 12/03/2012 10:51

I expect the angels were smiling down on Bea yesterday, little love that she is. Sounds as though it was a happy time for everyone.

Thinking of you today. From your posts it's clear you have become so well-informed and confident, being Bea's advocate, so I hope you can negotiate your way through things in Oxford with the same success.

I hope they really listen to you and give Bea the very best treatment plan. Your little star deserves it - she's battled through doing her bit after all. Smile

Good luck today cup xx
