Two more sleeps at home
Before I head off to Brit Mums Live
I am really looking forward to the weekend
Though I am feeling more emotional than I thought I might
I do not like being away from David and the children very much
A blogging conference is a place where most people know me
Only because of Matilda Mae
And I am really really pregnant
I will be 33+3 on Saturday
I am going to Brit Mums Live to learn more about something that I love to do
Writing my life story, sharing what I know about being a mother
Helping other parents, families, who will have to walk in my shoes
Or ones very much like them
I am also going to Brit Mums to learn how to be a better ambassador
For the brands I am passionate about
The brands I love working with
The brands that have supported me and stood by me
Through some truly horrific times
There are so many people I want to see and thank
Old friends to greet and new friends I am yet to meet
But I also want some time for me
To just be me
And all of this is being made possible this year
By the rather lovely Jodine
At Gummee Glove
I am honoured to be working with Gummee Glove
As Baby Tilda died at 9 months she did not have many things that were just hers
But she did have a Gummee Glove that she adored
She never really got the hang of wearing it
I think perhaps I gave it to her too late
But she loved to play with it and chew on it
And she looked very sweet when gnawing on it
It was something that she was comforted by
Entertained by
Over and over again
I love the fact that Gummee Glove have grown so much
Over the last couple of years
They have now got two products on the market
The original Gummee Glove suitable from 3 months
And the Anti Scratch Teething Mittens for newborns
I have been sent two pairs of these mittens
To have a look at
And to share with you at Brit Mums Live
So do let me know if you would like to have a look
The mittens come in white, pink and blue
They are soft and padded so they can absorb lots of baby dribble
The fabric is covered in sillicone dots that provide relief and stimulation for teething babies
There is a velcro fastening at the wrist to ensure that the mittens stay on
The mittens are really very cute
Such a simple idea for babies who like to chew
Also a great alternative to scratch mittens
The mittens can be washed on a gentle machine wash
Keeping them safe and clean for your little one to chew on
I am looking forward to trying these out with Rainbow Baby when she is here
And I am looking forward to telling you more about other exciting Gummee Glove developments in the year ahead
But for now, it is time to get ready for Brit Mums
Thanks to Gummee Glove I will be there
With my incredible wriggling, rolling bump!
And would love to say hello to you
And show you the Gummee Glove products up close

There is nothing I can do today
Nothing I can say
To ease the pain that’s in your heart
Because our daughter was stolen away
There is nothing I can say today
Nothing I can do
I wish I had the power
To make our baby dying be untrue
There is so much I want to say
So many things to tell you
About the amazing man you are
How I could never be without you
I am sorry Tilda is not here today
Her chubby limbs
Her cheeky grin
I am sorry nothing can feel right today
That you are hurting so much within
I hope it helps to know we love you
Are in awe of all you say and do
Your strength courage and bravery
For helping us make it through
These last few years have not been easy
We have shared our darkest days
You always manage to stay strong for us all
I admire you, am constantly amazed
And I am proud that you are mine
I am proud of what we are
I am proud of us as a family
That we have come so far
And I know you are the heart of us
You keep us breathing, keep us strong
I want you to know that I love you
And will do my whole life long
It may sound corny to others
You may not believe it is true
But you are my hero, my inspiration
No one and nothing compares to you
I am sorry we don’t have Tilda
I am sorry she had to die
I am sorry days that should be happy days
Make us want to hide away and cry
I am sorry I am rubbish
That I find it so hard to just be
Thank you for holding us together
For putting up with me
It breaks my heart
I cannot do
The one thing that we need
To bring our baby daughter back
So our two children can again be three
And soon we welcome baby four
Our daughter number three
A time that will be hard for all of us
But also a time we might be happy
It hurts so much without Tilda here
Seeing all she will never see
Our family will always be missing
All the things that she should be
And we will always be missing
The things she should have given to us
Her warmth, her humour, her cheeky smile
A life full of laughter and love
You are a wonderful husband
A remarkable father too
We all honour and respect all that you are
And with all that we are we adore you
Today and every single day
We honour, respect and adore you
We adore you x
