Night time feed, lurk and post, so wanted to say a very very Merry christmas to my amazingly lovely weeble ladies!

Been a crazy time at the ILs, and I cant tell you enough how much i love you all like family for the support you have shown over the last few years, this year has been so momentous and i thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being there through it.. To be honest today brought back that feeling that no one really understands how precious our miracles are, and what it actually means to each of us, apart from you lovely ladies..

The journey we have been on together, and that some of us are still on, i truly hope will bond us forever..
Together through sadness and happiness, to count our blessings and pray for many more! Love you all and a Very Merry christmas! x x x x x

Just popping in to wish you all a very Merry Christmas - I hope you have all had a lovely time today. I'm absolutely shattered now but feeling very thankful. mermaid big hugs for tomorrow. Love to you all x

Merry Christmas everybody I too, like blue will be raising a glass to you all tomorrow. Words cannot express how grateful I am to each and every one of you for getting me through what's been a terrible year. You are all such amazing ladies, and so kind and thoughtful. Where I would be without you all I just don't know.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, I shall be thinking of you! Those of you with special bundles to cuddle - enjoy every second. Mermaid am sending you a big hug for tomorrow. It's so hard isnt it.

Better go to bed but lots and lots of love to you all and Happy Christmas

Back soon after the christmas madness to catch up properly but big hugs and festive cheer to all in the meantime.

Have just put a very excited DS to bed so thought I would pop on quickly to wish you all a very special Christmas, you all have such a lovely way with with words so won't even try, except to say I echo everyone's sentiments and although I am quite late to Emmsy's, I appreciate the support and think it's lovely how much you have all been there for each other. Big hugs to everyone.

Ho ho ho Meeeeeeerrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy Christmas!

Weeble free...bloody fandango I pad!

Hey fellow weebles, I've come over all emotional thinking about you all and the past year we have just all shared. So many tears, laughter and funny bits, not to mention the fantastic support and advice that is always on offer. Long may our friendship continue throughout the festive period, onto the new year and for many more years to follow. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for everything. This is a very special christmas for me and a few others, I'm here until the very end.....until each and everyone of you get's your own very special Christmas. We all deserve it and we will get there. Here's a toast to each and everyone of you.

Merry Christmas and a feeble free new year, love to you all from an over emotional barbie and a sleepy dolly

Anyway, IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! [f

Hope you alll have a lovely Christmas and I promise to be back on after the mayhem festivities are over to catch up properly.

Take care all.

Thanks Vjay , you are very kind x

Thanks for all the FB messages too, really touching.

Birthday boy is napping in the royal cot getting some rest before the partay kicks off. My precious, soft spikey haired, pouty lipped bundle of gorgeousness. I just love him to bits and thank god for him x

Have a good Christmas Eve eve everyone

Good morning and a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Benny Boy , can't believe he's 1!!!!!!!
blue enjoy this amazing day, and, how fast has this year gone?!?! I will raise a glass of snowball tonight to mark the day

barbie I will send you a text in a bit with some catch up

louey still for you.

StNeekolas that's you on hols now isn't it?, wrap that kindle up and act suprised and amazed how it's fully charged

mermaid I am missing you, get your snowy butt back here, your lovely words calm me.

Gotta go, busy day here but my first thought that entered my mind was B's birthday

Happy Christmas Eve Eve

Hello hello hello....remember me

I'm on a borrowed I pad and can't work the bloody thing but iwas desperate to keep in touch...excuse the typos and bad grammar, I don't know how to check it

I haven't had to to lurk or catch up, I did see on fb that lou was very happy so I'm guessing all is well and another good scan under her belt?

Can I call one of you so you can tell me what is going on? Or can anyone sum up the last week for me? W have been snowed in and have no access to the Internet except sneaky time when we go to parents, but to be honest we have been so busy we have just been checking emails and not much else

I miss you all dreadfully, i hope i can catch up soon. Thinking of you all often and with much love

We are fine, dolly is fully walking, loving the snow but is very cold. We went to see father christmas today and i cried, can't do a embarrassed emotion but you get the pic, it was just so cute.

Anyways my uk number is posted on fb, i will try to get it to the rest of you....promise to catch up soon xxxxxx

vjay poor ajay. Really hope he is on the mend. Sounds rotten. And poor you having to suffer top gear instead of love actually. What was your DH thinking of I think I would have stormed off as well!

4ever LOL at summer babies being fab Glad the present distributing went well. Sounds like S is going to be another early walker - start babyproofing now! Enjoy having your DH around for a lovely 1st xmas with S x

LJBM very glad you managed to tweak the flights to get the price back down again. Hate it when they do that!! Tis a good plan going before babybelle is moving and especially if you have friends/family there to see too. You are right about the childminder - there are only so many hours in the day. I am just so rubbish at all the creative stuff. They came home yesterday having made mince pies.

blue wahay for bunting arriving. Glad the post didn't let you down. Hope the birthday/party all goes well and you get lots of pics of B looking scrummy

IHQ stop googling - you will drive yourself mad (I know I am a fine one to talk but...)

BQ hope you are starting to feel a bit more human

Waves to everyone else.

Had to scroll back through the thread to find the list and read back my panicked posts a few weeks ago during bleeding-gate. You lot have been so so supportive. I never really thought I would make it to 12 weeks and so I just want to say a big thanks from me

Also got text from my little sis yesterday evening to say that she has unexpectedly started her IVF (she thought her FSH was too high this cycle). So its all systems go - she has to go in on xmas day!!! Really really hope that it works first time.

Better go - its my last day in the office before xmas and I am supposed to be doing exciting things like timesheets (boo) and sorting out my desk (double-boo). So far, I've outed myself on FB, sent a few non-work emails, finished my xmas Ocado delivery order and taken some maternity trousers back to Next. Oops

Have graduated myself to big pants thanks for reminding me vjay. BQ have not moved you because I wanted to make sure you were happy before I did. Just say the word....

Congratulations louey on a fab scan, you are now a bigpanter at last

buddha poor little E and his ear, the others have said some wonderful things on here

blue I was half way through my snowball last night and half an hour into Love Actually when dh turned it off to watch Top Gear , so I necked the rest of me snowball and went to bed in a huff!
He has promised me I can watch it tonight.

Hi 4ever so pleased your dh is good and well , sounds like you are having a very busy time just now, and just as it should be really

Thanks for all you thoughts and recomendations. I have a bread maker, which I love but don't use enough, now I have a good excuse to use it more often.

Ajay was back at the docs last night, this time with a virus. It's a nasty one, he's got a cold with diaoreah (sp?), sickness a cough and did have a temp. He's spent the last 2 days sitting on me or asleep, BUT he has just got up and played with his singing dog, so we may have turned a corned

Waves to Buddha and comforting head stroke to poor E bless him!

Whoopee and HUGE Yay to Louey so pleased for you! What a milestone and also a humongous relief! I agree Summer babies are great!

Ihqfs I echo Blue what a fantastic crimbo playlist! Love it!

Bluebaubles hope you enjoyed your annual viewing of LoveActually! Was so great the way we all coordinated it last year, i was all pregnant and emotional! I just cant believe B is 1! When exactly is the special day again? Is it tomorrow? Give him a big birthday kiss from his cyber aunty and cousin! So glad his party stuff arrived, been waiting on an Amazon delivery for my 89yr old great aunt since 1st Dec!

Vjj apologies for not yet offering a huge hug for your incredibly worrying nut allergy episode with Ajay, how awful, and lifechanging, no wonder your still really shook up, lots of repercussions what with specialists visits and label checking, i really feel for you hon..

Ljbm at the £ of your oz trip but well worth it im sure, what a fab experience for the kids! Big kiss to baby belle from us!

Cupcake bless lil J keepin you on your toes, S is too, crawling everywhere, running round in her walker pulling washing down, almost pulling herself to sitting up on her own, and pulled herself up to standing leaning on her bouncer chair the other day! DH and i were and behind ready to catch her!

Big waves to everyone else, huge thanks again for all the support for DH worries and glad you all liked the email pics! Every day this week has been spent meeting friends and distributing pressies, had 6kids here yest! Lovely though to now have S, (understatement!) as was always the 'childless' one, with armfuls of pressies for everyone elses kids! Very much looking forward to the big day now! DH splits up for 11days tomorrow so may not be posting much, but loving you all from afar!

Louey Hurrah!!
Summer baby very sensible
Blue Phew glad the birthday stuff arrived on time!
Vjay Hope Ajay feels better soon
LBM £1k in one week blimey!
QA If you take all the advice you can find googling about TTC I will have visions of you in all sorts of positions just get p*ed at the Xmas party and have a quick bunk up!

Love the christmas play lists - I think all my favourites have been mentioned my top two are definately Fairytale in New York & Have yourself a merry little Xmas (Coldplay)

Thanks for all your wise words about E's ear, it's nice to know how common it is, hopefully he'll grow out of it, bless him he's spent so long tugging and poking his ear, wonder if he'll eventually sleep at night when he grows out of it

Have 'Love Actually' primed and on pause, just wanted to raise a glass of Bailey's (or snowball in Vjay's case)to toast louey's fantastic news .

A June baby - just lovely

QfS - WOW! some playlist, superb vibe going on there

Right couch for me x

p.s. party stuff arrived @ 1300 hours today - buntingtastic.

Louey's having a baby, louey's having a baby!! Keep smiling, lovely, you deserve it!

QA the elvis fan is 5 and it's all Lilo and Stiches fault but then it could be much much worse! And yes friends and family in Oz so really looking forward to the trip - had a bif of a moment when I was about to book the flights and saw that they had gone up by £1k in 2 weeks. So had to make some changes and they are now back down again - still a price but more managable. It's also the first big holiday we've had since DS was born and this helps me justify it!

louey That's fantastic news, no wonder you can't stop smiling and an extra bonus to be moved along a bit too Pleased you are feeling better, fingers crossed your DH improves before Christmas too. Hope your trousers arrived in time an you didn't give your work colleagues an unexpected Christmas bonus

blue Yay to long holidays. B's cake sounds gorgeous. Love that Nat King Cole song on your play list. My top 5, err sorry 10, and even that was hard:

1. Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt
2. Christmas (Baby please come home) - Darlene Love Its on Phil Spectors Christmas Album which is fab!
3. The 1st Noel - Ella Fitzgerald
4. Maybe this Christmas - Ron Sexsmith
5. What Christmas means - Stevie Wonder
6. Zat you, Santa Claus - Louis Armstrong
7. sleigh ride - Andy Williams
8. Jingle bells - Frank Sinatra
9. Merry Christmas Baby - Otis Redding

ljbm A trip to Australia sounds exciting, have you got friends or family there? An Elvis fan in the household hey, how old is your DS? Glad that babybelle has discovered rolling, there is a whole new world out there for her, does she do that slightly surprised/proud face when she realises she is not where she started?

monkey just seen Louey's message to you that you and your Ds are poorly? Hope you feel better in time for Christmas xx

Can you tell I am using this thread as a bit of a haven from googling random things to do with ttc It is certainly helping me keep up to date with the thread!
