All your babies are so cute! My LO has been getting better at sleeping - last night she slept 10.30 - 5. :happydance:

She's now off the gaviscon and doing better. After finally taking some water yesterday (instead of spitting it out!) she is clearing out all her 'back log' and I can smell she's just filled her second dirty nappy of the morning. So pleased for her as she has been unsettled over the weekend while trying to get it out.
 
Ahhh thanks guys, not sure I feel glamorous Caro!

I have started to get a cold, so hope I dont give it to George, I dont think I am ready to handle a porrly baby yet!

Gem where are your newborn clothes from? George was 9pb 9oz when he was born and never fitted into newborn! His legs were too long, he has been in up to one month stuff til this week when he graduated to 0-3 month stuff which his way too long on him!

I love being over here in this thread and seeing all my sweetpeas! thanks for letting me in despite my late arrival!!!!

Don't know what to do this morning. One of my oldest friends was due 7 weeks after us and was 9 days overdue yesterday. When she went quiet we were all waiting for the good news that her little boy had been born but this morning comes the news that he was born sleeping yesterday afternoon.

Can't even imagine what she is going through, nothing anyone can say or do will help, she must be going through hell. How would you even start to cope?

RIP baby Cameron.
 
Oh amethyst that is awful awful news. My heart goes out to her.

Caro - I have a long boy too! He was 60.5cm last week at baby clinic & think we'll have to move onto 3-6 stuff soon cos the legs on his babygros are very snug!

Thank you to everyone for recommending getting a swing. It's worked a treat! Can out Rex in it when he's drowsy & he goes off to sleep & stays napping for a good while. Hooray!

Just got to work on nighttime now! Last night was a good night but still can't get him to sleep before 10pm. I'd love a 7pm bedtime! x
 
Oh amethyst that's horrible. It was my biggest fear throughout but I can't even begin to imagine what she's going through :(

I finally got the invite to new parents group today... Can't wait to get started!
In the meantime I'm off to get Toby weighed... Not been in a while so it'll be interesting to see how much he's put on. Last time we went he was still in tiny baby, just going into newborn. Now half his newborn stuff is too small!! But 0-3 is too big.. But he wears it anyway lol... Not buying more newborn stuff for the sake of a couple of weeks!
 
Oh Amethyst I'm so sorry for your friend. I can't even begin to understand how she must be feeling, and if I'm totally honest I don't want to think about it for too long as it makes me feel so sick and upset :(
 
We went to our baby massage class this morning :) Pickle was the youngest there but she was so well behaved :) She seemed to love it too

And this morning we had MASSIVE smiles and giggles which is just so addictive! I could play all day with her!
 
Love the pics everyone!
Amethyst im so sorry about your friend.Big hugs your way xxxx
I will post a pic of my hen night later for those of you who arent on my facebook.
The twins are still in newborn clothes too at 13 weeks old lol xxx

Oh that is terrible! I can't imagine how she feels. Sorry for all :hugs:
 
Thank you all. I'm just starting to attempt to find some words to put in a letter that I'm putting in her card, I don't know where to start.

I know that if it was me I would want to curl up in a ball and let the world fall away but as well as giving her the time/space she might want, equally I don't want her to think that we are avoiding her or not offering our love and help. And without wishing to pre-guess her wants and needs right now, I genuinely can't imagine that her seeing Gabe is going to help at all.

Poor thing, it is every parent's worst nightmare and she is going through it. I can only hope and pray that through the love of the people she cares about she will find the strength to allow her to somehow cope.
 
Amethyst I aam so sorry, like you I would also want to curl up in a ball and hide away. I would be a complete mess. Its just horrible :(

I came across this poem. It's saying what not to say. Might help? Maybe the ladies in the loss section could tell you what would have helped them? I can't imagine what I could say in your shoes. It would be hard enough, but she may be extra sensitve with you having just had your LO. :hugs:

Please, don't ask me if I'm over it yet
I'll never get over it
Please, dont tell me he's in a better place
He's not here with me
Please, don't say at least he isn't suffering
I haven't come to terms with why he had to suffer at all
Please, don't tell me you know how I feel
Unless you have lost a child
Please, don't ask me if I feel better
Bereavment isn't a condition that clears up
Please, don't tell me you had him for so many years
What year would you chose for your child to die?
Please, don't tell me God never gives more than we can bear
Please, just say you are sorry
Please, just say you remember my chld
Please, just let me talk about my child
Please mention my child's name
Please, just let me cry.
 
Aww Amethyst! That is so sad. My friend's baby was born sleeping at 38 weeks (and I was 5 weeks). Its such a hard thing to go through. I know one of the biggest things my friend said that really upset her was people asking if she wanted to watch/hold their baby. She said that hurt bc she couldn't care less about a baby that wasn't hers at the time (she loves Rosie now and came to see us in the hospital and lit up when I asked if anyone wanted to hold her).
Also if she wants to talk about her baby talk with her about him. My friend LOVES talking about her baby and her pregnancy but every now and then says something that shuts her mouth bc it hits so hard- but that's how she worked on how she felt. Everyone is different. Etiquette says not to send flowers until 3 months after the passing as its still too fresh but a card letting her know that there are truly no words that can be said to make her feel better and that if she needs to cry/talk to someone (if you're willing to be that person).
Its very hard to approach someone who has gone through that. The first time I saw my friend all I could do was mumble I'm sorry and hug her.

SO having a IHATEMYBODY kind of morning. Nothing fits these MASSIVE boobs AND covers my flab these days. I really need to loose weight and get back into my old clothes
 
Thats awful, so sorry that anyone would have to go through that. Almost the same thing happened to my aunt. A co worker of hers gave her a tree to plant in memory of her little girl. She said that was one of the best things anyone did for her at the time. Flowers are a bad choice because they die, but the tree grows on. That was 20 years ago and she still finds comfort when she looks at that tree in her yard.
