Glad to be Sponsored by Gummee Glove for Brit Mums Live

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

getting to grips with 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

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

For My Husband on Fathers’ Day

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

walking for tilda

There is nothing I can say today

Nothing I can do

I wish I had the power

To make our baby dying be untrue

IMG00177-20120502-1359

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

021

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

ullswater

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

daddy

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

daddy

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

Snow Angel

Snow Angel

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

Jennie & David-51

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

daddy of an angel

Today and every single day

We honour, respect and adore you
