Dh is fuming mad......told work he needed to book next Friday morning off work (got annual leave) and they said 'we'll talk about it next week....too many people are off' and when dh left work he said again 'I MUST be at this scan next week' and she just said 'look, we'll see next week'

Right.....best email them....cheers

same thing..v.important appointment just came thorugh at weekend, cant do this ONE day.

Oh bugga, I don't usually have before schoolies atm and forgot next week my pre-schooler is here every morning and I'm dropping off at school. I planned to get someone (hopefully) to take ds to school but only just remember about mindee. What on earth do I tell her dad? He needs me because mindee's mum is away on business next week and she usually does drop off. I know I have to tell him and he'll have to take her or something but how do I explain the let down??? Of all weeks eh!

Will do

Yes, just go. Think about yourself first this time.

Panic over.....just realised I have baby overnight on Thursday so I don't need dropping off So, do I just go for it and take baby with me?? (god, I feel awful about this stuff )

Or offer to collect the baby.

ring/text/email mum explain you have a long awaited hosp/doc app and its fri morn 9am, say it is not TOO personal so you can still have her dd no problems, but could she drop her off at x time instead of y time at no extra cost to her..shell be fine! and glad theyve given you hope!.x

Thanks MamaG

Aw thanks Mo

Looiney, I'd missed all your goings on, hope everything goes well for you love!

Cheers Mo. I have calmed down now - burst into tears at first as built myself up for bad news and thought either way I'd know. As for baby, maybe I should just take her and not say anything? Only problem is I will need baby dropping off earlier than normal

Cheers Strawbs - suppose I just worry as I don't do 'behind backs' - maybe I should just go and not mention it? Although I do worry about entertaining her for 2 hours (all she wants to do is crawl about atm) in there.....actually....no, mum always insists on a long sleep around 9.30ish.....oh, what to do what to do

We were there 2 hours this morning and likely to be the same again which is why I'm concerned as she'll probably need a bottle there etc.

Hi looney sorry to hear you have to wait another week, but fingers crossed for you. I'd just take baby with you - how will the mum know what you're doing? You could say you've got an appointment - you're under no obligation to say what it's for.

I'm going to the Look Out this afternoon instead so I can take both big boys.

We'll catch up soon I'm sure.

Looney - can't you just tell her you need to have your blood pressure checked and if mum asks about it so early in the morning tell her it's the only time you could be fitted in. I am sure the baby won't take any notice.

Actually......help???? What do I do about next Friday??? Got scan at 9am. Going to see if someone can take ds to school but what about double pay baby? Do I tell mum I have appointment for something and offer to take baby with me as dh will be there? I just don't know whether or not to tell her the truth???

Thanks everyone. They couldn't see baby but could see a gestation sack and yolk sack. They said it's measuring 5+5 and they wouldn't be able to get a heartbeat until 6+ weeks. I've got another scan next Friday and they'll know for sure because if it still measures the same and no heartbeat, they'll know the baby didn't make it. Otherwise, fingers crossed, there will be a slightly bigger sack and a heartbeat. Now I've got to try and not think about it for a week otherwise I'll go mad!!! Oh....blood pressure is low and she said it will get lower (if pregnancy ok) as I get further on so I have to be very careful getting up etc - explains why I nearly passed out the other day when tidying the playroom!!

Thanks for all your support xxx

Where are you off to MamaG (we dont mind you gatecrashing but have you brought cakes?????)

Hi all

One day I'm going to open the staff room...actually, I'm getting up at 3am tonight to go on my jollies, I might open it then

or maybe not.

So today, I'm:-

• finishing packing
• persuading DS he doesn't need to take 50 tractors
• persuading DD that she doesn't need 75 dolls
• shooing the dog out of my way
• eating the contents of the fridge (hardship!)
• doing all the boring car things : petrol, oil, water, tyres
• remembering to pack my make up (oh yes, I forgot it once, was terrible, had to rush out to buy more)
• pondering whether packing GHDs and high heels would be a tad MUCH for a week on a farm
• gatecrashing the staff room, even though I have never been and probably never will be a CM

Mo - Thats a fab robot, you all must have had fun making it.

Hey looney am thinking of you this morning chick.xxxxxxxxxx
