Hey Pettina,

I just realised that my reply to your earlier message didn't post. Sorry, I'm
not sure what I
did wrong there, (spot the amateur!).

I wanted to say thank you for the kind welcome! Like you, my husband decided
he would
support me using this forum if I thought it would help, and I have to say, so
far it has.
While its not a good thing to have in common with someone, it is nice to know
that others
understand and can relate to the way I've been feeling. Of course, my loss
came early on
so I can't imagine the journey you travelled, I really can't and (as Lea said to
me), my heart
goes out to you and your family.

I note you have a 19 month of – Isabella -. Oh my god, if she is anything like
my little
mischief Makayla, then I bet you have your hands full. It only seemed like
yesterday that
she was crawling around on the floor, looking all cutey cutey. Now, she's
hanging around
the kitchen pantry demanding a cookie because `Cookie Monster' has one. Still
very
cutey cutey but very full on!! OK, the sugar probably doesn't help matters.

Despite, whats happened, I also feel very very lucky and I am extremely grateful
for what I
have. (as I run off to change a stinky nappy)...

xxx Donna
Mummy of Makayla (18 months old) and our angel baby Teagan
