Aw no Becs that's awful. It really gets to me. Louise, it does seem so recent that Darcie lost her fight. The whole thing is so unfair. I just went up to check on Sam, I feel so lucky to have the boys. I whinge and moan about things, but blimey, it's nothing at all, puts life into perspective.

It does GG. Claire, it made me think how utterly trivial Harry's flu was. I am just so so incredibly lucky to have him.

Hi Ladies
No time for a catch up I'm afriad, but I just wanted to pop on for a group hug. I'm so upset for Amy, I can't quite believe it could happen to her family again so soon. The world can be such a cruel place. It doesn't seem like 5 minutes since Darcie does it? Makes me appreciate Holly all the more. She's been really unsettled tonight, crying constantly because of her teeth but it makes you realise how trivial it all is really.
Hugs to all ladies and babies and special floaty kisses for baby Ava. Sleep tight little one x

Oh no, I feel so bad that I put a message on Amy's wall yesterday. I'm not on her facebook so had no idea that she had lost her baby. Obviously I wouldn't have done it if I had known, I just noticed she had visited September Stars over Christmas and I'd not been on so thought I'd drop her a line. I'm so upset for her, I can't believe this has happened to her again. It's just too cruel, the doc's must know why this keeps happening surely? It really puts things into perspective. RIP Ava
LBB - I hope James is on the mend soon, poor little chap he must be feeling so sorry for himself? No, I don't mind telling you what's wrong with my husband. Unfortunately he has a very rare form of Hereditary Pancreatitis that is caused by a defective PRSS1 Gene. Thought I should mention that because as soon as you say pancreatitis people assume he's an alcoholic as that is one of the main causes! It took nearly 2 years for him to get referred to Hammersmith and for them to find a cause. Apparently only 5% of Pancreatitis sufferer's worldwide have hereditary pancreatitis and of that tiny % only 5% have the type my DH has. The upshot of it is, he has a 50% chance of developing Pancreatic Cancer over the next few years which is almost always fatal. So, as a preventative they are going to remove his pancreas which will leave him a brittle diabetic. The operation is supposed to be taking place in July during the summer holidays (he's a teacher on the GTP programme) but as his attacks are becoming more frequent I have a feeling he is going to have to have the operation sooner and I don't know where that is going to leave him in terms of qualifying. It's all very stressful as he can't eat properly (the pancreas produces the enzymes to digest food, but in his case the enzymes don't turn off on their own so the enzymes are digesting the pancreas itself) so he's losing weight and can't get nutrition from food. We will have to get Scarlett tested when she is older as she has a 50% chance of carrying it too. But it's a bit like hayfever etc you can carry the gene but it might never get activated. DH has just been really un-lucky

wow Louisej that sounds very traumatic the poor thing its very painful too isnt it hope all goes well with his op. I take it he has spoken the training provider about his situation? I wonder if they can somehow rush him through!? I think you are both very brave x x
xThanks LBB - we are still debating what to do at the moment. As he taught 4 hours a day for the first term he is way ahead of most other people but if he has the operation he will be out for 6 weeks so at the moment it's a case of whether he is far enough ahead that he can miss that time and still have enough time afterwards to complete things. On top of that the operation itself is not without significant risks so we are both apprehensive about him having it. So, at the moment it's a Catch 22 - my main concern is that if his health continues to decline the operation becomes more and more risky x

Hi ladies, hope you are all well..
LBB Sorry James is still feeling poorly, i really hope he picks up today for you! Bless him x
MrsJ That must be really tough to be living with, on top of the issues with your SD it must be a really stressful household at times x
GG I'm sure Amelia will put it all on over the next month! It's such a shame she's been so poorly but if the health visitors were worried about it they would have said something I'm sure.. I haven't had Lilia weighed in a while, I'm going to go on Friday. According to the red book if she carries on the 25th centile she'll be about 13lb but I have a feeling she'll be a lot more than that! She seems to have chubbed right out and she is now going into 3-6 month clothes!! They are too big for her at present but her feet are a bit big for 0-3 babygros, and her arms are too long for the tops! Well.... tesco clothes seem to be teeny compared to other makes but I have so many 3-6 I thought it would be best to change over completely. Although.... today she has on my favourite 0-3 outfit, a little purple top and stripy leggings, it's so cute! I'll take a photo later. What size clothes is every other baby in?
I developed a migraine yesterday afternoon, it was horrible, I have alway had menstrual migraines so I'm used to having them monthly, luckily they usually only last half a day or a day at worst, but it was my first since probably second tri! It was a shock to the system having to look after Lilia alone while i just wanted to curl up into a little ball!! Plus, Lilia has now learnt to SCREAM....so when shes crying, she screams so loud, she's such a drama queen! And it hurt!!
