Hi all!!! It's been sooo long since I was here. I think since I keep up with some of you on facebook now I've not come here so often. Thought it was about time I came in and saw how everyone is and gave you an update on Chloe. For those who don't know us, my 10 year old Chloe was born with...

I am sooo pleased to announce the arrival of Amelia Louise! She was born Saturday 8th November at 6.40pm, weighing in at 9lb 14oz and I swear I felt every one of those ozs with every push!!! Sooo worth all the bruising and other bits though. She is beautiful. We brought her home today (with...

Hi all, Sorry (again!) not to have been in touch much lately. Just had so much on my mind that it's about all I can to log on the computer, let alone post a lot. But as always, I do think of everyone and post when I can. So us... Well, Chloe turned 9 on Friday - halloween. She was sooo excited...

Hi all, Just had a call from Paula, she can't get on the laptop at the moment so I hope I get this right... Curtis had the surgery this morning and the surgeon managed to repair the valve. It has a leak still though, so although they aren't concerned at the moment Paula said it's something to...

Hi all, Firstly apologies again for being absent, just such a lot going on here that my mind is frazzled. I do check in on you all every couple of days though and read up and send my thoughts over to anyone needing them. So our latest news. After loosing Callum at 24 weeks in October last year...

Hi all, Just a quick question. I've got Chloe off school today because shes got a bad throat and has been sick a few times. Question is, a few minutes ago when she was sick I noticed a tiny bit of blood in it (really tiny - like just a thread). Is this a doctor thing do you think? Or just where...

I don't think this has been posted before - looks interesting though... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7155635.stm xxx

I don't know if this is any good to anyone but it's something we do every Christmas Eve to make sure Santa's reindeer can find our house ok. You just mix oats up with glitter and sprinkle it outside the door. This poem goes with it... When Santa's sleigh is full of toys ready for Christmas...

I know I've not been about lately at all (although hope to be back to 'normal'very soon) but I thought some of you might like to know the outcome of all the tests baby Callum andI had done after I had him at 24 weeks. I've Jjust got back from the meeting now and it was ok surprisingly. I felt...

I haven't been on for over a week (been finding things hard) but I wanted to come on and publicly thank Mary for all her support since we lost baby Callum 4 weeks ago. So thankyou Mary for the beautiful card, for the lovely gift you gave us on 'March of Dimes' and for your support! THANKYOU...

I felt I should come on and thank everyone for all the support we have recieved. I'm sorry for anyone I haven't had a chance to send the photos to you but I will definately do that very soon as I love to share my boy. I'm finding it a little hard to come on any of my normal websites at the...

The forum we all hope never to begin a post in and I'm sorry its not strictly heart related but knew nowhere else to post this. Will try to briefly explain what happened to our little boy. For some wierd reason I have never settled with this pregnancy, have never really thought it would get...

Hi all, Had our second scan today as 1st showed different leg and head measurements and they wanted to scan at 16 weeks. All looked good today. It was wriggling around, kidneys, stomach and spine all looked good. Saw heartbeat and everything was a lot clearer than last time and that was only...

WOOHOO!! Had scan this morning and was already almost in tears just in the waiting room where I have been soooo nervous (terrified!), so when the image of little one popped up on screen I had no hope of dry eyes! :D Baby was wriggling around like mad and had lots of fluid around it, could see...

Sorry to post about baby again so soon but I'm all excited... Went up to the hospital this evening to meet my midwife - such a lovely lady!! Did all the notes and bits, talked about downs screening, chatted about Clo's condition and then she got out the doppler (is that what the listening...

Hi all, Well for anyone who hasn't read my blog so already knows, I'm pregnant! About 12 weeks now and so much more excited than we were when we first found out 5 weeks ago. Shock doesn't begin to cover it but thats all change now and we can't wait (especially Chloe who we told yesterday!!)...

Clo did her first ballet exam this morning! She's been going to ballet for about a year and half but I was reluctant to let her do exams cos I wanted her to enjoy it rather than worry about exams but she found out the next lot were coming up and was so keen to do it that we let her. She was so...

Could I ask anyone who does pray and has beliefs to send up some for my nan tonight. She's a very religious lady and I know it would mean a lot to her. She's had terminal cancer for 2 years now but the past week it has worsened dramatically to the point now that it's thought she may not have...

Hi all, As always, I do feel terrible when I post and ask for advice as I don't always post when I feel I have nothign useful to add - but I do check in here daily and think of you often I promise! This week's problem... We think Chloe is beginning to suffer with migraines now. Jason's (hubby...

Hi all, I feel a bit silly asking this as I know I probably should know the answer (and suspect I do) almost 6 years into this valve replacement world but... Have been reading a thread on another site about pacemakers and the danger of using magnets near them and wondered if anyone has ever...
