Hello all,
Blob, My friend lost her beautiful daughter at 36 weeks, she got herself (and if i had known i would have done) a footprint pendant like Fishy does and had her daughters name and date of birth on it. It is a long haul getting past something so hugely sad, I have still not been to see the baby's grave as I know my friend still sees it as her special private place to be close, she said she knew she was feeling better as she took her sister to see the grave and that was a huge step forward for her.
All you can do it be there, hold her hand and listen to her when she needs to talk
Louise, I feel for you, it is so difficult having a dh away from you for so long and missing him so much, then being together I assume most of the time atm, when dh had to be at home all the time it took about 18 months for me to adjust to him being with me all the time, and tbh I am not entirely comfortable with it now. I find my dh very critical for someone who puts so little input in!!

Congratulations to all the newly preggers ladies, I think i have individually said it but in case I have missed you!
Genies, Lol on carrying the twins, I thing twins must be a huge shock even though you know its twins, I cant imagine how much hard work it is doing everything twice! And how expensive doubling the price of everything!
We had the party today, It looked lovely with the balloons, pink and white table covers, etc. Food was good, my friend helped and there was plenty, the bouncy castle was a huge hit, and the kids played really nicely on it. I think everyone seemed to have a good time, Rosie loved it, she was pusshed round in a car they had there most of the time in her little princess dress! lol.
Personally I was a bit annoyed that people who said they would come didn't , I had a friend of my 8 yr olds who said she would bring both her daughters, and because 3 tends to be a crowd with the older girls I didn't invite my dd's other friend, so when this woman didn't show i was a bit annoyed tbh, I would have asked the other friend if i had known!
All in all it was a hit, and we are defintely hiring the same hall for Sophie's 4th birthday!
Will post pics asap, took loads of Rosie in her dress, with balloons all around her, got a few brilliant ones
Back soon to catch up better, think i will head off for bed as soon as i have changed a certain someones smelly bottom!
