thanks very much. my mum is great but i cant see her as much as i like since i got moved to my new flat. it's hard because he looks so like his farther who i hardly see now. i bless every day i have my baby and try to be a good mum. none of my friends have babys so they sort of left me behind now.

Welcome to the garden. Since you've moved, I'm sure the baby will help be a great beginning of some conversations for you to make new friends. Your baby is adorable! My son was 8 weeks early. He's almost 22 and you'd never know it to look at him now. :wah:

Hi there and welcome to FG :-6

I will be a new mom come December and will be going it alone as well. I've selfishly prayed that Lane resembles me and not his dad, I know the reminder will be hard too but know that YOU are the one sticking around raising him/her (I may've missed where you mentioned the gender, sorry)

Congratulations on your new flat and it's good to hear that you have a support system. I don't know what I'd do without my parents going through this myself. Very good luck to you and your munchkin :-4

Second Opinion · Post by **Second Opinion** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 3:41 pm

what nice people are here and thankyou very much. i really must get a computer so i can write more often. sorry i dont have much to say but i cant work or anything with baby and dont go out much.

Hi Second Opinion (I suppose I could call you S.O. but that sounds like petrol ! :yh_rotfl ). I'm sure Oscar will show you the ropes, so long as you don't take much notice of her naughty posts, or get led astray by her ! GREAT AUNT !!!!!! Eeeee

I just can't picture Mrs O as a great auntie .................................................

you dont have long to go for december. sorry your on your own like me as it's hard but i dont care as long as i got my baby. i was lucky to get the flat because i wanted our own place but so much to buy for it. my mum is the best and so is oscar who always looks out for me. hes a baby boy with blonde hair and blue eyes like his farther and a very happy baby but wasnt at first because he knew i was stressed. i had to learn to chill because i was upsetting him all the time but im a lot better now. is Lane a girls name? i really like that its cool.

Welcome to the forum garden, I am sure you will enjoy some of the conversations we have on here. You may even seek expert advice from the mums on here.

There are a lot of us that have done that and worn the t-shirt, its not an easy road, but a great journey.:-6

Second Opinion, my vanished post merely raved on a bit about the need to get out of the house, even though every effort is tough when you've been up half the night... See if you can find a playgroup in your area. The face to face mutual support of a group of mums is really great. And for the times you're gated, we're all here for you. Hope you can get regular computer access.

Yep, December is creeping up me quickly

I'm not sorry I'm on my own really because I know my son and I are better off. I'm not jaded to think it won't be the hardest thing I've ever done but I like a challenge and I won't fail my child :-4

Your son sounds adorable, I'll to look around a bit and see if I can find the piccies Oscar posted. On the stress note, yeah... I had to make some adjustments myself so I understand. Just keep your head up girly and know we're all here for ya. This place has been a great place for me when I've gone thru things in the past and it continues to be a place I can run to.

Lane is actually both girl and boy. But mostly I've only heard it as a boy's name.

Over here there are lots of names that are both male and female. I've dated a Courtney and a Kelly :wah:
