With Nicolas we ...Yeah, i had the same experience. With Nicolas we didn't buy much of anything, because we had loads of hand-me-down boy things. Plus i didn't start 'nesting' until i was 34 weeks -- literally the day he died was the first day i was cleaning & sorting. And the day before that was the first time i bought *anything at all*. So for Chloe, i bought more, ahead of time. Many people who had 'everything ready', like rosepetal, seem to not do *anything* in the sub pg. It's like we think that whatever we did last time jinxed us! I say, whatever brings you a moment of peace is a good thing to do. <BR/><BR/>I hope you can get some sunshine and some sleep...katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536809590856333391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24605535.post-1159259930585958282006-09-26T02:38:00.000-06:002006-09-26T02:38:00.000-06:00I hope everything goes well for tomorrow (and for ...I hope everything goes well for tomorrow (and for the next four months and for the next 30 years)<BR/><BR/>With my son, I did the opposite, we had everything ready down to a cute fish shaped thermometer for the bath. (Where I live they don't have baby showers as a tradition, so we traipsed around the shops getting the stuff ourselves - which I loved). And, although I'm not pregnant, I think I would do the opposite for the next baby, i.e. not buy anything. Partly because I already have everything but mostly from the same yet opposite fear that you have.<BR/><BR/>That is annoying, the way people think they know how it's going to work out, even though they certainly didn't last time. It's all with good intentions, just trying to be reassuring but it isn't.<BR/><BR/>Here's to the next family function with your little one laughing, crying and wriggling at the centre.Rosepetalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198906406934870970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24605535.post-1159228855684968552006-09-25T18:00:00.000-06:002006-09-25T18:00:00.000-06:00I hope you can get some sleep tonight and that tom...I hope you can get some sleep tonight and that tomorrow goes well.

Go towards the light." <BR/><BR/>This reference only works if you've seen and remember Poltergeist. Anyway, I also have this new friend who recently moved from manhattan and she seems like such a hard-ass New Yorker but in response also to my fear of life right now she said, "Imagine a circle of light around you" or soemthing like that. It surprised me coming from her and it stuck with me. <BR/><BR/>i dont mean to sound like a preachy new age freak here but after living through such darkness, the light imagery really resonates with me. And it's something that i can actually do.<BR/><BR/>Much more helpful than "don't worry." duh.whatthef*ckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06504688509955868945noreply@blogger.com
