My plans for Saturday had been to pop into our nearest town, go to the post office and bank, and to have a look for a couple of birthday presents. My actual Saturday turned out to be a trip to Wembley Stadium to watch the rugby!… Mr R had gone for a drink in our local Friday night, one of the regulars… Read More
Mothering Sunday
Today is Mother’s Day in the UK, normally the day doesn’t bother me but this should be my first Mother’s Day, a day I have been looking forward to celebrating for years, but sadly our baby left too soon for me to be one of the Mummy’s celebrating today with cards and flowers. As the months passed, I then was… Read More
I feel numb
I don’t know how else to describe how I feel, just numb. There have been several BFP announcements over the past few days, and although I’m genuinely happy for the people concerned, I have no other feelings about it. In the past if someone said they were pregnant, I’d congratulate them then run home and cry my eyes out that… Read More
Date nights
Mr R and I try to have a “date night” once a month. This may seem strange given we don’t really have any commitments or children to think about, but with work, renovating our house, seeing family and friends it’s sometimes hard to fit in proper time for us. This month we’ve managed to have two, in the same week… Read More
Adverts
The last thing you need when you’re, let’s face it, desperate for a baby of your own is to be bombarded with annoying adverts. I can just about cope with the numerous formula/baby food/nappy (delete as applicable) adverts but Clearblue Claire grates me, as does the lady with the stupid smile when she gets a positive OPK. Then you have… Read More
The day I’d been dreading
Yesterday was our EDD, and it came and went pretty much unnoticed. Again, as with our Godson’s first birthday, I think the anticipation of what it would be like was worse than the reality. Mr R has always maintained we mustn’t dwell on it, and I know he’s right, but over the months it’s been so hard not to. I know he’s… Read More
Merry Christmas
I received 3 “presents” in the post yesterday, the first a card from Cow & Gate that we can record our baby’s first giggle on to, and the second an anti colic baby bottle from Phillips Avent. Just what I needed, more reminders that we won’t be bringing our baby home in 3 weeks time. I guess in my excitement… Read More
EDD looming
I don’t think I’ve given it much thought before now that the EDD of our lost bean is looming… but this week, every time I’ve used the Baby Centre app on my iPhone it’s automatically gone to the “My Pregnancy” page rather than the community page, reminding me today that I should be 35w+5d… I should have a huge belly by… Read More
