    Ladies i'm thinking of joining you on saturday but we've had a bereavment in the family... my husbands SIL who i'm very close to had twins 2 weeks ago tomorrow.. jamie and sam, they we're born at 23+3 and jamie died at 9 mins old and Sam died today.. we're all devastated it's been a horrible 2 weeks with ups and down as he fought so hard to survive, I can't stop crying cos every time i look at Ben i know how i would feel if anything happened to him.

    so i'm not sure when the funeral is but if i can make it i'll be there, i'll have to get my husband to drive me i'm terrified to drive in the city
    Anyway here's my facebook link if anyone would like it..

    I suggest you pick a toy and have it on the table, something which you are likely to have a long with you, and stick it in the centre of one of the tables.

    thanks your comments mean a lot... we went over to see them yesterday and Sam is so tiny.. he's all dressed up in the tiniest clothes you've ever seen they wouldn't fit a doll, a tiny coffin placed in his moses basket with his teddies all around him... they've got both babies record books and pictures of them on a little table beside him and videos that they'd taken of sam during his 13 days... It would just break your heart, i'm so upset cos we'd been pregnant at the same time and we were supposed to be swapping baby clothes and tips... all she keeps saying is it's not fair, and its not.:( she's only seen Ben once and cos i'm breastfeeding i'm not going to the funeral, i don't think either she or I could handle it.:(:( I know i probably shouldn't post this here but she's the one i talk to about all this baby stuff and posting here aswell, it's stuff the men don't get, i have no idea what to do or say to her cos my baby is 4 weeks old and hers will never be, It's just breaking my heart.

    Easier said than done but be careful that you don't miss out on the enjoyment of your baby out of guilt.

    CCL and my sister in law got pregnant at the same time but she lost her baby, we spent alot of time trying not to enjoy our pregnancy for her sake which now that i look back on it didn't do anyone any use anyway

    Hey guys,I think it's actually Debenhams restraunt that we're meeting at. It's on the third floor. The cafe is quite small, and might not fit us all in!!

    Sorry folks I'm going to have to give tomorrow a miss. Hubbie has to go to Cork tomorrow and I wouldn't be able for the 2 hour drive to Dublin myself tomorrow.
    The half an hour drive home from work has me beat at the moment. I know, lightweight!

    I'm disappointed because I think it'd be great to put faces to names. Hope y'all have a great day tomorrow ;)

    Hahaha well I cant belive how well you managed with not getting dizzy and your due so soon I couldnt move at 8 months :o

    I cant belive she was doing that, maybe she felt left out since she was the only one who suck's her thumb..............or maybe it was make a show of mammy day (sure thats always the way!!!) :p

    Oh yeah Taylor's winney the pooh key's least she cant lock any door's for a while now :P

    Cathy and myself had a great time- I think she is slightly less terrified of babies now- another 11 weeks to go, and we're about to start our antenatal classes on Monday week..... Hope to see you all again.
