ok so when me and jim decided to have baby number 2 we were very excited but also keen to have a smooth pregnancy without any stressful situations going on. i know you cant predict the future but we were really hopeful that things couldn't be any worse than last time ..........
i guess we were wrong.
im fine, the baby is fine and this pregnancy has been a lot easier than the last but unfortunately the 'stressful' situations are just as hard as last time.
a couple of months into the pregnancy jim's nan became increasingly ill. she fought long and hard but unfortunately she passed away. this was very difficult to see the one i love and his family going through the heartache of loosing her.
it reminded me all too much of loosing my own nan.
jims nan had tb which is a very infectious disease which has caused concern as to whether we have got it. very worrying thinking jorja could have it.
jorja has been unwell with chest infection after chest infection which worried me further into thinking that maybe she had tb.
went to the doctor today and she no longer has a chest infection and professionals assure me it is very unlikely she has tb. phew.
we find out jims dad has a strain of tb, which is not contagious but still, not very nice for him.
then just when you think enough is enough we have had our fair share we find out jims granddad has bowel cancer which understandably thrown his family completely. jims granddad Ken is such a lovely man and made me feel very welcomed into the family.
so there that is me up to date.
there is a lot going on but i know it will be ok. i have jim and he has me and we both have a beautiful little girl who has despite all the tragedy kept us laughing and full of love.

Ugh! I do feel for you, Lill. And I wish I could protect you all from these things but it's the cycle of life, I fear. I believe, in all these situations that come to us, we can grow through them and learn from them or let them take us under.
I know that's easier said than done but it's true. "That which does not kill us, just makes us stronger"! Having some kind of real, deep peace in all these hard situations is the key! As Christians we know that's the only way to get through. His Peace and Comfort!
I know it doesn't change anything now or make it better for you but I do know how you feel. The same thing happened to me.
When I was pregnant with Daniel - just 2 weeks before he was born, my beloved Nanny Flo (Nanny Pat's mum) died very suddenly, unexpectedly. It was a huge shock.
And then when I was pregnant with James, my uncle died - he couldn't cope without my Nanny Flo (he was a little bit retarded and lived at home with my Nan) and he committed suicide. It was horrible. So I know a little of the heartache you're feeling and the need for just some kind of "normality". Some kind of simpleness and uncomplicated time during this pregnancy!
I just know how incredibly blessed you are and how much more God's got in store for you and also for you as a family. I really believe that. Just hold onto the blessings in your life right now and He'll see you through the rest. It's a promise from God.
*big hugs*
lots of love, always
Mummy Di
