Not borrowing trouble ahead of time, just enjoying each day with Beatrice.

[cupofteaplease]

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

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!

I'm a fan of Morhulin for sore bottoms - I had it as a child and it has worked beautifully for my children.

Hey cup just checking in to see how bea is, hope you managed to get home for the long weekend x

Send Easter blessings to the Teaset.

Happy Easter to you cup. Hope things are improving for Bea [busmile]

Happy Easter to the Teaset [busmile]

Happy Easter, hope bea manages to sneak in some chocolate x

Wishing Bea and teaset a happy Easter. Glad Bea is improving, and I hope you are all home again soon x

A happy day to all of you. xx

Happy Easter to you all xx

Happy Easter Bea and family! [busmile] I wonder if you have been allowed any chocolate (hot or otherwise)...mmm.

Can I just put in a vote for an absolutely magic cream if the metanium does not clear it up completely. Antepeol is fantastic, one smear of it literally clears up any rash within a few hours, every time. Do try it. It is not widely available or even much known about (it really should be, it is amazing) but you can get it from online chemists such as

Sorry, spelling is Antipeol.

Happy Easter everyone hope you are all feeling sick from chocolate!

Bea is being passed around the family like an Easter prize, whilst the older girls have dragged their grandma and uncle to the park. Happy days!

Happy Easter Cup, yours sounds fab x

That's good to hear - a lovely family Easter together. [busmile]

Happy Easter to you Cup and all of the Teaset. So glad to hear that you are enjoying family time today. x

Hi all again,

I realise that I didn't really conclude what had happened at hospital. Basically, On Thursday morning ward round the doctors decided they didn't know why Bea was still spiking a temperature, so they declared that it must be, 'just her brain' , how scientific(!)

Anyway, I brought her home, and that seemed to do the trick, she has been fine ever since!

Right, I have a little plea now. I don't know if this is allowed on MN, but as it is hidden away in Beatrice's personal thread, I figure that the only people who read it will be interested in helping her. Let's hope.

Basically, I am hosting a fundraiser for Helen House Hospice at my house on Tuesday 1st May, from 10am- 2.30pm which I have named Tea for Bea (catchy, no?!)

If you are local to South Northants, please PM me for address details, I have an NVQ level 3 child carer available to look after babies or pre schoolers who may attend, so that mums can just enjoy some tea and cake in peace!

If you are not local but would like to help, by sending a cake/savoury bake or a raffle prize, please feel free to PM me too. Any and all donations will be VERY gratefully received

If this is not allowed on MN, please ignore MNHQ

Tea for Bea sounds great, I'm too far away to bake but will happily donate some money for the hospice. Pm me details and I will send a cheque. I hope it's a fabulous afternoon and you raise loads for the hospice xx

Cup- I'm away until 21st, just checking in quickly but will definitely send something over for you.

Glad to see you ar home and ha a good Easter.

Cup. I've pm'd you about Tea with Bea.

Thanks for the interest in Tea for Bea.

I've added another picture of dd2 holding Beatrice- a bit of a difference from them together in the Peppa Pig costume!

Bea finally has her 3rd set of jabs this afternoon, the amount of times we've had to book and cancel them due to illness...!

My hasn't she grown!

I am too far to join in Tea for Bea, but let me know the details and I will happily send a donation.

(I could bake a cake but it probably wouldn't travel too well.)

Wow, cup I just scrolled back trhough all your photos. It is really moving to see Bea grow and change and always being surounded by so much love.

Is there anyway to donate from overseas? Do you have a paypal account?

My goodness, look how much she has grown!

Gorgeous as ever of course xx

Fab picture, bit too far away to attend the snazzy Tea for Bea but hope it goes well and when I can will send in a donation.
