Hi girls! :wave: And thanks Tawn! Im a bit bummed I've been missing you all too. And I was on early this morning (which was last night for all of you), but was way back on page 949 or something, so I'm only just caught up and I didn't see til now that you were noticing me lurking.
Westendmum - Welcome lovely! You'll find the girls in here are amazing. So ask us anything about any concern you might have. I'm so sorry about your bad experience with nurses

They're not much better in Australia, but I think Shellie is right that it would probably affect their ability to do their job if they were too emotional about it. Still, there has to be a happy medium. I think it's safe to say you absolutely were pregnant though hun, as like you've said, you passed the gestational sac the other day. My pain and the majority of bleeding settled right down after that too, so I'm hoping your recovery will blitz along now. Make sure you take whatever time you need though so you can grieve. And like Tawn said just don't be too hard on yourself. We're all here to support you too, so even though DH is being amazing, truth is we'll probably be able to cope better with what you're feeling than guys are able to in the long run.
Mrs D - I hope you managed a good sleep last night. I hadn't thought about you having to sit up, you poor thing. And I agree with the others, you are amazing. Such a trooper, and quite an inspiration xx We love you.
Bailey - You're a total sweetheart! Taking those extra shifts out of caring for your residents...

I do hope you can start feeling ok about saying no more often though. Your body will thank you for it x
Cath - I understand needing to pull back for a bit, but please don't think that anyone is irritated by you for you posting pics etc. That's what this site is for! And we want to be here for you no matter how crazy or annoying you think you're being (even though you're not!).
Cupcake - Did I miss you say that you thought AF is on her way? Hoping that's true and you'll be back in the game asap.
I know I'm forgetting everyone else, but I've read so much my brain is fried!! Working tonight too so I won't have a chance to get back on till you're all asleep again tomorrow night, or maybe even Saturday morning (which will be Saturday night for me).
So it might seem a little crazy, but... I bought a little pink dress today in a newborn size... My DD helped me pick it out and I decided it was something I wanted to do and put away for our rainbow - obviously provided we have a girl. I've done it as a bit of a faith step, and wanted to get a little boy outfit too, but we just couldn't find anything this morning! Then DD told me she was having a sister anyway (!), so I thought I'd leave it at that for the minute. Hopefully 'she's' already enroute to my uterus and we'll get to meet her in 8 1/2 months time
Have a gorgeous Friday everyone!!
