    @ Quiescent.
    When I was going through my divorce, before I got pregnant with my second son, and I would break down here and there, and my little boy was only 2.5 at the time and he would just hug me and tell me he loves me. He's a really smart little boy.

    I don't have anyone to watch the boys for me, but I often sacrifice my sleep so that I can get a little bit of time to myself every night, I make tea, which my mom sends me by the box.

    Thank you so much for that. It's been a long time since I've felt like people are listening to me because I don't have a social life, I don't really leave my house often and I don't have friends. Mibba is like a small circle of friends I have to myself, that I can talk to, who will listen.

    Honestly, it's the best mums who can admit they're scared, and it's okay to be scared. It's also okay to cry, even just giving your two boys a hug and letting them know how much you love them. It not only allows them to see you're human but it gives you that confidence to be there for them.

    I've only been a mother for 10 months but it feels more like a couple years already, if ever there's a time to be strong and cuddling your kids, it's now. It's okay to let them know mummy is breakable, even if you just for a short hour or so have someone else watch your kids while you take a break somewhere else in the house, that way you're still nearby if anything happens. There's nothing wrong with any of these things, as long as you don't take excessive amounts of time off, and it may allow you enough time to breathe and focus more clearly.

    I'm not sure if we've seen each other around mibba before, but if you want to talk about anything, my inbox is open. I have long days ahead of me but mibba always sends an update to my phone so I'll know when you send a message so, please, if you need anything, I'm here.

    @ Matthew Sanders;
    Thank you so much. I'm mainly nervous because my grandfather died from cancer of the kidneys and the kidneys is one of the organs that is at an increased risks for him.

    @ Tholomew Plague
    Thank you. I'm doing my best, he's generally a really happy baby and hardly ever cries. Hearing him screaming during the blood work killed me but he calmed down pretty quick when it was done. I just want my kids healthy ya know? We all hope and pray that something like this never happens to our kids, so when it does, we feel helpless.

    As mums, we need to be strong, even when we want to scream and cry. Keep on going girl, you sound like you are handling this very well, and keeping him as happy as possible. Good Luck xx

    @ Matthew Sanders;
    Thank you so much. We just got back from the lab and it was awful. Now it's the waiting game... waiting to hear from the doctor for the results on the blood work and ultrasound. I just hope and pray it all comes back normal.

    As a mother I see where you're coming from. Being scared. If I were in those shoes, I'd be just as scared too. I really don't know what to say, but I do know that you're in my prayers honey, and your little boy is too.
