Bay Shower!!!! (& some other stuff)

[mummyluv]

Really enjoyed myself on Sunday. Got loads of really good stuff. We even got pram!!!!! of OHs grandparents wich is way more than we expected. We got the Quinny Zap Xtra. Which is a pram I really wanted because of the fact you can have it facing towards you or away from you!!! Then my Grandparents got us the car seat that goes with it (Somehow I think they were in Cahoots). Got LOADS of clothes of my friends. And I mean LOADS. Then OH Auntie got us like half a wardrobe (I'm not exaggerating either) On top of the bits and bobs we have already bought for her I think we should be pretty much there (probably going to get her some more baby grows though). Then there was the usual array of other stuff (Nappies, bottles, toys etc) I was honestly not expecting so much stuff and was panicking worrying I wouldn't have enough for when she arrives!!!!

However (always a but with me) At about midnight my phone started ringing!!! at first I thought I had accidentally set an alarm. However when I looked it was an unrecognised number. When I picked it up . . . It was the hospital!!!! my mum had been admitted after a passer by found her unconscious in the street!!! Once me an OH got there my mum had already been diagnosed with Liver Damage Now I honestly don't know what to do about it. I havn't seen my mum in a month (plus). Now I feel really guilty like if I had done more to include (despite the fact she was very adamant she didn't want to be involved) her, she wouldn't of got to this stage. Guess I just needed someone as a shoulder to cry on

First, congrats on your pregnancy and baby shower! I just want to say I'm sorry you're going through this at a time you're supposed to be so happy. But you cant blame yourself, liver damage has nothing to do with including her in baby activities. Don't feel guilty ! Just have a visit with your mom and talk to her, make amends because tomorrow is never promised. Good luck hun

I am so glad to hear the babyshower was such a success! I think we all fear not having enough, I'm 22 weeks and though I have a ton, I still don't feel comfortable enough yet, and probably won't until after the shower/we have everything she needs. But you sound pretty set which is fantastic!

& I'm so sorry to hear about your mom! That is a lot to e going through all at the same time. I hope she makes a quick recovery!
