This perhaps would be a way, this Christmas, for Ayden to share both his love and the love people have for him with others.merlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124315992587337524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-63210753789304249402009-12-05T11:06:00.658-08:002009-12-05T11:06:00.658-08:00It's so nice to have dreams about them and you...It's so nice to have dreams about them and yours had a little humor in there with the pooping!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431384515813384025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-18925779981493004532009-12-05T07:58:25.040-08:002009-12-05T07:58:25.040-08:00I read your blog regularly and am often reduced to...I read your blog regularly and am often reduced to tears by your raw honesty. I think writing it must be good for you and a wonderful way for you express your feelings about your precious son, Ayden. I couldn't presume to know how you must be feeling but your expressive writing takes me very close. A little place in England thinks of you and wishes you comfort and peace and honours Ayden's memory.<br />May God bless you all.Mama Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936124009166492304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-36073726645644537402009-12-04T20:51:35.896-08:002009-12-04T20:51:35.896-08:00I've had trouble sleeping too since Ella passe...I've had trouble sleeping too since Ella passed.. sometimes I still have to take a tylenol pm or even a valium if its just too much.. even if I don't take anything in the morning, I am still groggy..or perhaps its the lack of motivation to get the day started without her..I dunno..<br /><br />The dreams are great and horrible at the same time..its so great to "see and hear them," but its so hard to wake up without them..it often makes for an extremely long day afterward for me.. but its worth it...to feel close to them..Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07386710835021940223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-46254087468441752212009-12-04T14:36:52.468-08:002009-12-04T14:36:52.468-08:00You're so lucky to dream about your Ayden, I h...You're so lucky to dream about your Ayden, I haven't dreamed about my Jenna since I was carrying her. I miss that. In your last post, you were saying how looking at Christmas decorations was so hard because everyone around you does it with joy and laughter. I was at the store the other day and almost couldn't breathe. It was so hard just looking at the ornaments, I wanted one for her. Not liking these Christmas blues...<br /><br />xoFranchescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362049658761399255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-10032194391479559712009-12-03T20:18:52.403-08:002009-12-03T20:18:52.403-08:00So glad you get visits from sweet Ayden at night! ...So glad you get visits from sweet Ayden at night! <br /><br />After Grayson our doctor didn't let us stay on ambien very long...we wanted to longer.

To help this I take melatonin 3 mg nightly. I will also use a quarter of a 5mg tablet on occassion if needed. (My doctor approves of this, although he said I could just lick the tablet. HA HA). I wake up in the morning after the Ambien and am NOT groggy. Just a suggestion.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465520959998960090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-66664452562049837692009-12-03T14:01:07.194-08:002009-12-03T14:01:07.194-08:00what a great way to wake up!

It was hard at first but worth it to not be denpendent anymore. <br /><br />I'm so glad you have your dreams to turn to when you need to see Ayden and hold him. <br /><br />I'm keeping you in my thoughts today.Raising Twin Girls https://www.blogger.com/profile/10156623017395670196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-84302320531953703032009-12-03T10:51:45.922-08:002009-12-03T10:51:45.922-08:00I would sleep all day if I could have dreams like ...I would sleep all day if I could have dreams like that! I am so happy for you and glad that you were able to make the transition. I find that the only way I am able to have sort of reasonable sleep (which is sometimes more of an aspiration than a reality) is to try to plan things and make sure I have things I need to do. Not always the easiest but perhaps that will be a good aspect of your return to work.JamieWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615427195759873079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-56801633301377826062009-12-03T10:12:21.129-08:002009-12-03T10:12:21.129-08:00((HUGS))...
