Was just thinking the same thing as you Southern, hope Thorz is doing ok. Haven't seen her on here over Wkend. It's Monday night here and am thinking of Fish and Northern about their scans tomorrow. But I prob won't hear anything until wed morning my time. Sending you positive and strong thoughts to both of you x x x
Yes Longing, am looking forward to some good news. Thinking of you also!! x x
Northern and Fish, I am thinking of both of you!! I am still really hoping for a miracle to happen for you tomorrow...!
Thank you for your thoughts as well!!! I was so nervous today and took DH with me. DH was so childish all the time, and as it turned out later, he was just as scared and nervous as I was. He later said that he kept thinking about what if this baby is a boy after all AND has heart issues we have to deal with, maybe severe ones. But at the scan, there suddenly were no heart problems seen anymore. I asked the tech later on how that could happen, and he said sometimes the heart is not mature enough at that gestation state. I am now so so relieved...
And although I was so nervous for myself, I kept thinking about Fish and Northern. I am praying and hoping you both will get about the same good news that I got today. I am crossing all my fingers for you both. You are in my thoughts all the time. :pray:
Ladylaura, great that you joined us :happy:
So glad you got good news longing and your little one is healthy. Lets hope this is a sign of things to come with northern and fish too and we get more good news tomorrow x
Sorry I've been out lately, this weekend was a crazy chaotic one! All is well with the baby. The chaotic stuff was that I spent the whole weekend moving our CRAP from one room to another room and painting all the baseboards and door frame to get ready for the new carpet!! The carpet guys left about an hour ago, 2 rooms down and two more to go. Now we have to move everything back into these rooms and move everything out of the last two, so i can rip up the carpet and paint the baseboards in the last two rooms and the hallway and the stairs! It's all coming together, and soon I can get started on the fun decorating of the nursery and my older boys got all new furniture too so I get to decorate 2 new rooms! Ugh I'm in lots of pain with my hips but it has to be done! My mom will be here in two weeks and I want everything back in place sowe aren't adding to the chaos!

I'm still thinking of all you ladies and hoping and praying for the best outcome possible!!! Please keep us updated!
Thank you all for your prayers and hopes, but honestly, there is no good for us. Even if her problems are no worse, then she will still have severe brain damage. Its hard to believe with how hard she kicks me all day!
So, right now I'm just planning on her first outfit, which is difficult finding something for a 21 week baby. Thankfully a few ladies have offered to knit a hat and a cardigan for her. I wish I'd had time to learn to crochet - I was going to crochet her a hat anyway, it would just have to be a lot smaller. I have decided to wrap her in a blanket my grandma knitted for DS2.
We will be having her cremated, and originally was going to spread them under the cherry tree in our garden, but we may be moving soon, so I think I'll buy a rose and put it in a pot so we can take it with us.
Northern, I am very sorry for what you are going through. I cannot imagine and I know you have some tough times ahead.
There is an organization- www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org that offers photography sessions at the hospital free of charge for families like yours that incur an unexpected loss. They have been around for a long time and volunteer photographers from all over provide services.
I know it will be heartbreaking but she is and always will be your daughter and this organization does a beautiful job(I think) of capturing her time here with you.
I will pray for you and your family to see your way through this with grace and some peace.
Northern, I just read your blog and my eyes are filled with tears. So beautifully written, and so so sad. I don't even know what to say. This is all so unfair, so tragic, so sad. It somehow seems to be due to a virus, which would be making me so angry at that women as well. I don't even know how I would cope with that. I am so so sorry, I so wish we could help you in any way. What you are going through is breaking my heart. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
:tissue:
Longing whoop whoop so pleased for you!
Oh Northern my mum said exactly the same to me when i told her about our lill girl - please don't let her lack of faith in you influence your decision. You sound very strong I'm sure if you wanted to try and continue you would be able to cope.
However you should very sure of the path you must go down which although it is horriable sounds right for you and your boys you have a whole family to consider this angel will be at peace and feel no pain, it's you that will deal with all the pain for her and that is so brave and the best thing you a mummy can do for thier babies
so so sad your journey has turned out like this you're in our hearts and prayers, please let us all know if there's anthing we can/you'd like us to do xx
:hugs: are not enough xxx
