<p style="text-align: center;">  </p>
<p>This week I have been thinking of 10 years ago&#8230; where I was told I would never have a child, I would never be a natural mother.  So much has happened since then, I could easily write a book!</p>
<p>I have so much to be thankful for. </p>
<p>The photo above shows my little baby girl, sick in SCBU a few weeks old.  I am so very lucky that she is here and now a robust 7 year old.  I am so looking forward to the card she will make me, the rock she has painted for me and the excitement she is going through right now as at school they are making something &#8220;special&#8221; for mum.  She has her $10 ready to spend at the Mothers Day stall at school and is planning what to make me for breakfast Mothers Day morning. (with dads help of course)</p>
<p>There will be so many exciting little children who just wont be able to hide their excitement and to pamper mum with presents and breakfast, hugs and kisses.  There will be lots of flowers picked and purchased, visits to cemetery&#8217;s, gorgeous lunches and lopsided ceramic mugs especially made for mums that will have pride of place in many homes this weekend.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-594" title="3 sisters" src="http://latoriana.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/3-sisters.jpg" alt="" width="667" height="322" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">~ Three Sisters ~</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I am almost positive there are many mums about who will be spending lots of time this Mothers Day in NICU, SCBU and hospitals, are also so very  thankful too.  Please give a thought to these mums, many who are scared, thankful, feeling overwhelmed.  Its a HUGE, rollercoaster ride having a premature baby, a sick child and all the whilst I can imagine each one peering through the isolette, into cots and feeling an overwhelming love and bond that only a mother has for their child.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There is so much to be thankful for.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Happy Mothers Day</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Warmly Elizabeth xx</p>

<p class="post-title entry-title" style="text-align: center;"><a></a> <a href="http://latoriana.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/christmas-twins.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-584 aligncenter" title="angel twin girls" src="http://latoriana.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/christmas-twins.png" alt="" width="727" height="465" /></a>  </p>
<p class="post-title entry-title">Last Mothers day I wrote from the heart, <a href="http://latoriana.com.au/blog/2009/05/09/heavy-heart-empty-arms-this-mothers-day/" target="_blank"><strong>HERE,</strong></a>  and more on the anniversary date <strong><a href="http://latoriana.com.au/blog/2009/07/20/loss-of-our-premmie-babies-8-years-on/" target="_blank">HERE</a></strong> and had so many people email to  &#8220;chat&#8221;.  They knew how I felt as they too had been through similar experiences. </p>
<p class="post-title entry-title" style="text-align: center;"><strong>The loss of a child.</strong></p>
<p class="post-title entry-title">We belong to a club no one wants to belong to&#8230; one where the common bond is heartbreaking.  This can be so isolating for many, so there is some comfort connecting with other mums, knowing we are not alone.  </p>
<p>There are many new mums this Mothers Day who have heavy hearts and empty arms.  Many mums may have had miscarriages, loss of a neonate, a child&#8230;  be it a baby, teenager or adult.  No matter what age, mums are feeling it at this special celebration day of mothers.  </p>
<p>With the release this week of the 3rd edition of <strong><a href="http://www.littleonebaby.com.au/" target="_blank">Little ONE baby magazine</a></strong>, the interviews with 4 brave women telling about their loss of a baby is compelling.  Their stories are heartfelt, sombre and inspiring.  I  want to dedicate a special poem to mums this Mothers Day, who cannot be with their children as they have grown wings.  I always take comfort in words, poetry and music that often reaches me right to my very core of my soul and  inner self.  I am feeling for this special group of mothers this special day who may find it painfully hard.  </p>
<p>La Toriana ~ the name and logo is  a major comfort to me. Combining our 3 daughters names into something thats so strong and lasting.  I love the name, though may not mean anything to anyone else&#8230; it does to me.  I love being able to provide quality premmie baby clothing online to the parents, family and friends for babies born early.  Its something I am very passionate about after having had 3 premmie babies.  </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.latoriana.com.au/images/logo.gif" alt="" width="308" height="263" />  </p>
<p class="post-title entry-title">Its funny how things just vividly stick in your mind isnt it.  </p>
<p class="post-title entry-title">Some things I don&#8217;t remember about the twins and then other things are just like it was this morning.  Its almost 9 years since Lara and Victoria became angels due to prematurity after medical issues in my pregnancy.  I still cannot believe it all happened.   </p>
<p>I vividly remember the time we told family we were having twins&#8230; was the happiest day, I was elated.  </p>
<p>I vividly remember cooking salmon  fettuccine when &#8220;it&#8221; all started&#8230;. where my dreams started to fall apart.  </p>
<p>I vividly remember that one tiny spot of blood on the bathroom floor in my hospital room and the nurse saying &#8220;Oh that&#8217;s ok.. nothing to worry about&#8221; and left  </p>
<p>I vividly remember that frantic feeling, that helpless feeling when the drs said &#8220;there may be nothing we can do&#8221;  </p>
<p>I vividly remember that angry old woman frantically breaking down the door to get to me (this was days after the emergency surgery,  a hallucination from medications as there was no door, just a blank wall&#8230; but at the time was SO REAL)  </p>
<p>I vivdly remember the looks on peoples faces when they saw me for the first time afterwards.  Some were of pity, some of true sorrow, some eyes just searching mine for help as to what they should say.   </p>
<p class="post-title entry-title">I vividly remember one person in particular come over about 3 months later, at a time I was feeling down and said matter of factly &#8221;oh aren&#8217;t you over it yet?&#8221;   </p>
<p>I vivdly remember the first time a stranger asked me at swimming &#8220;how many children do you have?&#8221; and I couldnt answer.  </p>
<p>and I vividly remember Nardine, someone I recently only met coming over and handing me chocolate at the door&#8230; not wanting to come in, but wanting to help in some small way  </p>
<p>I know this Mothers Day I am not alone in missing my babies.  There are many mums out there who cannot cuddle and kiss their children, no matter what age.  Some mums will be sad, heartbroken with heavy hearts and emty arms.  These mums I reach out to as I remember vividly that first Mothers Day after the twins passed away.   I was lost and scared.</p>
<p>Some mums will have a bittersweet day.   I take comfort in knowing that Lara and Victoria are part of our family this Mothers Day, and are here with us, everyday, in spirit.  </p>
<p>This is a poem that I truly love.  </p>
<p>To ALL mums out there, with heave hearts and empty arms, may you have a wonderful, special Mothers Day.  </p>

<div class="post-body entry-content">
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">Dear Mr. Hallmark,</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: Times New Roman;">*</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">She is still a mother too, no matter where I resideI had to leave, </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: Times New Roman;">*</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">that though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">she talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: Times New Roman;">*</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: Times New Roman;">*</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">She needs to be honored, and remembered too</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">Just as the children of earth will do.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: Times New Roman;">*</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">I have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330000; font-family: times new roman;">Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #660000; font-family: times new roman;">~ by Jody Seilheimer ~</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #660000; font-family: times new roman;"> </span></div>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: times new roman;">To ALL mums, may you have a wonderful Mothers Day.</span></h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>warmly</em></p>

<div style="text-align: center;">“The mention of my girls names may bring tears to my eyes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">But it never fails to bring music to my ears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">my friends, let me hear the beautiful music of our gorgeous girls names.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Dont be afraid. It soothes my broken <img title="044" src="http://forum.birth.com.au/images/Smilies-MSN/044.gif" border="0" alt="" /> heart, and sings to my soul.”</div>

Once upon a time &#8230;

You were energetic, fun-loving and didn&#8217;t have a care in the world &#8230;
 
You&#8217;re still fun-loving, you just can&#8217;t remember the last time you had some. You&#8217;re tired, you&#8217;re stressed, you&#8217;re feeling like the worst mum in the world &#8230;
 
You&#8217;re feeling like a grumpy ogre, and you have for some time now &#8230;
 
You [...]]]></description>

<p style="text-align: justify;">You were energetic, fun-loving and didn&#8217;t have a care in the world &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You&#8217;re still fun-loving, you just can&#8217;t remember the last time you had some. You&#8217;re tired, you&#8217;re stressed, you&#8217;re feeling like the worst mum in the world &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You&#8217;re feeling like a grumpy ogre, and you have for some time now &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You haven&#8217;t had a break in ages, and you haven&#8217;t spoken to someone over three foot tall in such a long time &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> It occasionally crosses your mind about wanting to get out and have a bit of time out for you &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just imagine &#8230; a night of no stress, no pressures and no one wanting something from you the second you sit down.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Enjoy not just the <em>thought</em> of someone serving YOU food and bringing YOU wine, but actually doing it. Without being asked thirty five times.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Feel the freedom of no interruptions, letting your hair down and letting loose!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Have the biggest belly laugh you&#8217;ve had in a long time, conversations with adults, hand massages and makeovers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dance, relax and have FUN! Remember that?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Go home rejuvenated and with a special give just for YOU!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Go home a relaxed, happy, smiling mum &#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">and the prizes and goody bag were unbelievable!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">needless to say&#8230;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #003300;">The change of season is one of my favourite times of year&#8230; it means racks full of delicious new fashion, and a great excuse to hit the stores in aid of wardrobe rehabilitation. This season I&#8217;m particularly obsessed with garments from independent designers. The retail benefits are two fold&#8230; you&#8217;re supporting the livelihood of an indie artist and you&#8217;re securing a unique (often one-of-a-kind) piece. We have a rich selection of indie artists in Australia and with the creation of online markets like Madeit and Etsy, we also have access to indie designers across the country and the globe. If you&#8217;re sporting some luscious curves, indie shopping is also a great way for plus size fashionistas to pick up some fashion forward styles.</span></span></p>

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #993366;">I personally have read the 2 books.</span> </h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is a &#8220;real&#8221; book about our own lives, our choices and the difference from before kids to afterwards, and choices about being a &#8220;real&#8221; woman and a mother.  Whether you are a working mum, stay at home mum or whatever, its about what your heart is telling you, your choices and not anyone elses.  I wish I had read this book years ago  (if onl;y it was written!)  I left a corporate, ladder climbing career in health to be a mum working from home.  I grappled with it at the time, then embraced it.  It felt right, though pressures from many other streams seeped in at times.  I hit rock bottom at the stage when  after years of trying for a baby, was blessed with twin girls, who, though management of my pregnancy  I became septic and so did my girls.  they were born premature, struggled and passed away. I lost a sense of self at that time.  I wish I was able to have read this book back then.  I went on to have another (torrid) pregnancy and climbed up, but this book would of helped me sour with a self acceptance, perception and self, have courage and affirmations I so needed at the time.  A very well written book and I would recommend this to any mother out there. There is no manual when it comes to mothering.  No right or wrong way. There will be good days, exceptional days, bad days and extraordinary days&#8230; <strong>and thats ok!!</strong>  Jodie helps us look at our role as a mother and move forward to being the mum, woman<strong> WE WANT</strong> to be.</span></span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Pregnancy fashion tips</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;">1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>A great pair of maternity jeans</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> is a must-have in your maternity wear wardrobe.  Too many women try to wear non-maternity jeans when they are pregnant but in bigger sizes to fit the belly.  The problem with this is that they tend to look baggy and ill-fitting everywhere else.  Queen Bee has a great range of maternity jeans</span></span></p>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;">that look just like regular jeans but have a flattering fit and are made to adapt to your changing figure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>My personal favourite is the MAVI maternity jeans available from Queen Bee, available in skinny leg and bootleg styles.<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;">  <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;">2. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another must for your maternity wear wardrobe is a wrap dress that is flattering, easy to wear and comfortable.  This can take you to work or a casual outing. You can also team it with some statement accessories for a dressier look. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="color: #800080; font-family: Arial;">Maternal America Chantelle tie front dress</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> from Queen Bee is really popular and was worn by Catriona Rowtree.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> </p>

<p class="garamond">Cake was born in 2008 when its founder; Tracey Montford yearned for beautiful lingerie during her pregnancy.

<p class="garamond">She chose to do something about it herself, designing <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://cakelingerie.com/au/" target="_blank">Cake Lingerie</a></span></strong> to give pregnant and breast-feeding mothers an opportunity to &#8216;Celebrate Motherhood&#8217; as every mother deserves the best.</p>
