Thank you dani, tiredness is a great symptom.

[Tasha]

LMAO, love that you have to do a btw I am joking statement. Wont tell them about the pm you just sent asking for my address and the advice on whether to bubble wrap him or not

Disclaimer: I am of course joking

I actually have not held another baby other than Kaysie since Honey was born, I just sort of subconsciously avoided it, been around them but not helped. Guess I will be facing my fears later this year when I become an auntie for the first time.

I am so scared for tomorrow. How are you all?

 

[AP]

I couldnt even hold babies before Alex. I thought they were "too small"
who would have thought id be holding even smaller babies one day!!!! I think the last baby I held was 25weekers Holly? (I last held Lotties Findlay tbh but I dont say hes a baby!!!! )

I really, really hope tomorrow brings some better, reassuring news Tasha xxxxxxxxx

 

[Tasha]

I bet newborns, and like 0-3 months must seem huge now? How big do your reckon your LO is going to be?

Thank you hun, it means a lot

 

[Lottie86]

(I last held Lotties Findlay tbh but I dont say hes a baby!!!! )

Findlay says thank you for not calling him a baby!!

Please excuse any dodgy typing I'm trying to type lying down on my left side with Findlay cuddled up to me holding my hand (he's got a nasty cough hence not being in bed yet as he's feeling a bit sorry for himself). Nearly wet myself laughing earlier as he was lying on my tummy and bumpity kicked really hard and he got a look of total horror on his face and rolled off me

I'd never held a baby at all before Findlay. In fact I think I've only held one baby since I had Findlay and I was so confused when Freya's Mum handed her to me as there were no tubes to worry about and she had normal muscle tone and allsorts, totally unchartered territory for me lol. I'm so intrigued what it might be like to have a 'normal' wireless baby that eats.

I've got absolutely everything crossed for you here Tasha for tomorrow xxx
