When a baby arrives,
be it for a day, a month, a year or more, or perhaps only a sweet flickering moment- the fragile spark of a tender soul the secret swell of a new pregnancy the goldfish flutter known to only you- you are unmistakeningly changed... the tiny footprints left behind on your heart bespeak your name as Mother.

I wish I could say something that would help, but I know nothing really does. Just try not to be too hard on yourself for being upset. Oh god Liz - I was already feeling Stef's pain, and that just made me weep (lovely though).

Oh no liz, I'm just bawling my eyes out.
In a weird act of 'celebration' for not having a baby I went out and bought myself http://www.amazon.com/dp/0811854485?tag=tcs00-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0811854485&adid=1075S1CFS3783B8C4Y7X& - this book which I have been lusting after FOR MONTHS. It has the most beautiful layer cakes ever. Look: (WARNING AVERT YOUR EYES IF HUNGRY) http://foodlibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/09/sky-high-strawberry-shortcake.html - strawberry shortcake , "http://happylovestrawberry.blogspot.com/2009/09/triple-layer-chocolate-peanut-butter.html" - Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting . http://www.tasteandtellblog.com/2009/01/cake-slice-bakers-banana-cake-with.html - Banana Cake with Praline Filling a http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/06/pistachio-petit-four-cake/ - Pistachio petit-four The only problem is that BF and I are on weight loss mission at the moment and nobody is having a birthday so I will just have to oggle the recipies until I have an excuse to bake a layer cake. Not as good as a baby but for a cake-making nerd like me it put a smile on my dial. |

Oh those cakes look devine!! I like the look of the pistachio one, mmmmmm. I'm so glad that you could do something for you - you really deserve it.
That poem was one that meant alot to me when I had my mc.... it made me feel that it was ok to grieve. It's my due date tomorrow. Incidentally it's also one month til my due date with this baby - so I think it will be a bitter sweet day. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">
