All The Little Things
7:53 amThe small talk in the street.(and wondering, "have they really forgotten?")
The first stawberries from the garden.(that never quite make it into the house.)
The cheeky robins sitting on the swing.(Who sat there keeping me company last year when I was in labour)
The Boden summer sale.(and the dresses I didn't dare buy.)
The summer term inset day.(and being grateful for a day at home.)
All the little things are still the same, and she should be here.
Every kick and wriggle from baby boy reassures me for a moment, then I wonder, was it too hard, was it his last?
I don't trust my body anymore, I want him out, I want him in my arms and alive and safe, and there are no guarantees.
I think there is a good chance I might lose my mind completely in the coming days.

I know I can't really understand but it must be so tough.
ReplyDeleteShe should be here. I'm so sorry that she isn't it. x
She should be here, my heart breaks for you that she isn't. She is not forgotten.
ReplyDelete((hugs))
thinking of you xxx
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know it was pointless and not bearable to do it (at least I think it it will be if I ever get there) I'd tell you to start reading birth lists and reminding yourself that normally it is all just completely fine.
ReplyDeleteBut I just know that won't work. In my own personal dark moments, I try to tell myself the other 4 are here and just fine, even my other vbac one and that not all babies are in fact born only to die soon after.
Thinking of you every day.
she should be here. it's awful that she isn't. Little boy will be here soon, the waiting must be torturous for you. I think you just have to have as many distractions as possible to help the time tick by now, to help keep you sane. You're almost there, you've come so far ((hugs)) I'll be over to annoy you again soon n help tick away a few more minutes:-)
ReplyDeleteyou must be so frightened :-( xxx
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take the pain and worry away - I really do.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs to you and hoping I can come over and distract you soon xxx
ReplyDeleteHang in there...it is all you can do to survive and even then, survive some more.
ReplyDeleteFlorence should be here with you...Am thinking of her and of you, take care of yourself
ReplyDeleteRemembering your little Florence, and wishing for some peace of mind as you struggle through these next few weeks. Many (((hugs))) to you.

ReplyDeleteI totally understand.
ReplyDeleteSending love and never forgetting Florence.

Sending you love, I wish it was all different xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI really dont have any words of wisdom, I wish I did. I dont know how you will get through the days until Little boy is here, but some how you will (( )) In the remaining days of your pregnancy it feels like your online friends are joining together in a big circle around you, if only we could be there to protect you all and make you and little boy safe. I hope that doesnt sound too random or crazy ! xx
ReplyDeleteWe'll never forget her. I think of you all often. I feel like Florence is in my heart.
ReplyDeleteLove and kisses
Exactly this, what Maxine says, I feel like Florence is in my heart too.She is such a special baby.xxx
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what you are going through just now, just know there are so many of us out here with you are Florence in our hearts wishing things could be different.
ReplyDeleteSending you all my love for the coming days. xxxx
