  • Those weren't exactly the words I was thinking when he walked in the door.

    This would have been a good likeness of me at the time:eek: :eek:

    I hadn't even thought of the possibility of DS trying to carry the new baby around - have just had a chat to him and explained that he mustn't pick the baby up without asking! Hope you're doing okay immoral, have a good evening tonight and don't forget, if your waters go while you're out and about, you have to go to the hospital via your house, so you can log on and let us all know! :D

  • There's no way Ashli would understand that now as she's only 22 months. I don't think she realises why mummy's suddenly got fat let alone that there'll be a new baby soon. lol.
    I'm doing ok. Not long got back from the cemetary and asked my mum to send me some labour vibes so fingers crossed she can sort something out for me.
    Feeling a bit down but it's only the 2nd birthday that she's not been here for and I think the hormones aren't helping. Just having to keep a realistic view on things and not dwell on all the things that will be missed out. Don't really feel like going out tonight but I'm sure the change of scenery will do me good. I can't sit around the house and mope as I'll end up just upsetting myself.
    Life is so hard sometimes. Oh well. Tomorrow's another day.
    Happy Birthday Mum... missing you everyday. xxx

    Hi Sarah
    Must be really hard for you today especially feeling so emotional as you do at your stage in the proceedings. Get yourself out tonight and relax, it might be the last free night you get for a long time.
    I can't begin to think how much you miss your mum, but I had a taste of it last year when my parents both had bowel cancer and I was so afraid that I was going to lose one or both of them.
    Just concentrate on your own little family, I'm sure your mum would have been proud of what you have achieved.

    Take care

    Oh gosh, your post made me cry.....doesn't take much at the moment.....

    You speak so simply and movingly about her, in the way that you only can when you really loved someone and they really loved you. Your Mum would be so proud of you I am sure, and I'm certain she will be watching over you.

    I hope you have a lovely evening and don't be too hard on yourself, 2 years isn't a long time ago, and the extra hormones do seem to make you feel things more strongly than usual . Take care, love Snaggles xxx

    Take care of yourself Sarah and I hope Kaitlyn makes her appearance very soon... doesn't she realise she has a fan club waiting for her?!! That photo of your mum is lovely by the way.

    Hi Sarah,

    I remember you from Babyworld! I had the same user name there, a 1yr old son called Dylan and now anonther one on the way.

    I've sat here and read this all the way through, you are so inspiring that I've sat here for the last 4hrs working out how to repay my £3500 debts as fast as possible. Using a system similar to yours I am aiming to clear just over £200 a month. I've written to my creditors with proposed payment plans and was just going to leave it at that, but I'd still be paying it off in 3yrs time :eek:

    Reading your thread and seeing the sense of achievement you have recieved after each debt has been paid off has given me a good kick up the bum and now I've worked out where our money is going practically to the penny until March next year when we should (fingers crossed) be debt free. That's including enough savings between now and August to allow me to have 3 weeks off when I have this bubs (I don't get maternity pay :( ), and then almost £2000 in savings between August 07 and March 08 so technically I could pay it off a lot faster.

    I would still be wallowing in self pity and punishing myself for being so stupid and getting into debt if it wasn't for you so thank you a million times!! Just wanted to let you know how inspiring you are :o

    I've got my fingers crossed for you that Kaitlyn hurries up and gets outta there, I had severe SPD last time, and it's just starting up again this time so I know exactly how you feel - and yes it's impossible to describe to to other people!!

    Sending you massive hugs and labour vibes,
    Jen xxxx
