Will try VJ, is a v good idea!

Can anyone think of a Christmas name for me please? Am rubbish at things like that!!!

Will check back later xxx

VJayJingles · 03/12/2010 14:25

Just checking for updates, it's probably too early.

blueshinyxmasbauble and BuddhaBellyBauble Xmas GrinXmas Grin fabbylously festive names.

monkey can you get babymad tests? they are so cheap and then you'll have a stash whenever you need them. Also you've been working an awful lot lately maybe AF is just late due to stress?

barbie aaarrgghh for you, I really hope dh gets home soon for you, plus that 2 weeks went really fast!!!

Off on the school run in a mo then swimming lesson for cjay so will check up later on our scan ladies Xmas Smile

Oh and look [fbear]

monkeybumsmum · 03/12/2010 14:16

Hello, my goodness it's sooooo cold, brrrr!

Just popping on the wish BQ and Louey sticky thoughts, and am hoping we hear some good news soon - good luck!

Blue I now have an image of me being trussed up and stuffed in the oven Grin We are only actually having 14 people over, but with ds, dh and I it makes 17 - couldn't cope with 20! Am panicking about how on earth we're going to be able to prepare that much food to feed 17!
Lovely re boys pressies, they have such gorgeous things on there... What did you end up getting them?

QA Really hope you're okay, have been thinking about you loads, even though I haven't really been posting much. How are you feeling about ttc?

Barbie Hope dh makes it home okay, there's loads of snow so hope it clears soon (on the runways anyway Smile) My aunt is due over this afternoon, but her flight from Man was cancelled. She's made it on the later flight, so things are starting to move...

Thanks for the wishes and hopefullness VJJ (Grin), Louey and 4ever, but I really don't think it's that. I'm actually really scared that something's wrong, and that we will never be able to conceive again. I had a +ve OPK 2 weeks ago on Wednesday, and even stretching it, with an LP of 10 days, AF should absolutely have arrived by Tuesday. I don't feel pg, at all in fact, and really, really think it's not that. I've just wasted 15 euro's on a preg test, which of course was a BFN. In fact I hope I'm not pg, because with one of my mc's I didn't test +ve for days, never felt sick, and lost the baby at 8 weeks. I just want my AF to arrive now!

Will try to update for news when I get back from picking ds up, I have my fingers tightly crossed! xxx

QuestionsAgain · 03/12/2010 13:49

Coss posted with barbie think you were very restrained with just a'Grrr' there Barbie, I would need a few F* and Sh** and I don't even swear Grin And that would just be for the man flu, let alone, that you might be on you own for even longer!

Right even later now, bye!

QuestionsAgain · 03/12/2010 13:46

Not meant to be here, but wanted to pop on to see how louey was getting on with her scan, hope it goes well, everything is crossed for you and BQ

BQ sorry that you are weebling, but i am pleased that they can scan you today for reassurance and so that your weekend is not spoilt by worrying.

Will be thinking of you both this afternoon. Smile

monkey know your mind must be all over the place so not sure what to put really Confused I like blues seasonal 'head in snow' hope you are ready (and able due to snow!) to get a test a find out one way or the other soon. Sending brave thoughts xx

To all you other lovelies, sorry i am not back in full posting flow yet, I will be soon and really appreciate all your lovely cheers and pom poms at the ready messages. *Curly's message about the small panters actually made me well up Blush

BTW I did the first coat on Tues night and room quite small so only took me 2 hours Wed. morning. I am in awe of you hosting 17 guests for Christmas Xmas Shock. Bet you cook up a treat Xmas Smile. We're hosting this year but only DH's parents, start small that's my moto..

Vjj - great to hear you had a good meeting with Cjay's paed.

CurlyBigPants · 03/12/2010 09:53

Hey baking any news on getting a scan today? I know it's impossible but try not to worry too much - it's totally natural to get freaked when you have a scan coming up. I always got an impending sense of doom a few days beforehand in my one successful pregnancy, even though i felt more positive the rest of the time. It is normal to feel like things are going wrong even when they aren't - how can we help it with our histories? :( But I have a really good feeling for you and Louey :)

Speaking of whom, I just popped on to offer my hand for later to Louey. I'll be out this afternoon but will try lurking on my phone if I can get internet coverage. Can someone please text me though if they get news?

As the lovely moon would say, these babies don't need the scans, they are doing fine :)

It's really lovely to see talk of ttc'ing. Much as I need and appreciate the support and advice on everything else, nobody forgets the main reason we all got together on this thread and there are twenty white coats freshly washed and ironed and ready for action whenever our smallpanters are Grin

Nice to see monkey back :)

I need to catch up on everyone else's posts but must go shower before curlygirl wakes up.

Need some ideas for my christmas name too?? C'mon VJ you is clever at this kinda thing. help me out Grin

bakingqueen · 03/12/2010 08:38

Forgive another me post but been having major weebles since yesterday afternoon nothing specific causing them but am convinced that on Mondays scan something will be wrong goiing to try to ring epau when it opens to try and get a reassurance scan today just to set me mind t ease because not slept a wwink last night thinking about it please keep your fingers crossed for me x

louey good luck foe this afternon will be thinking of you

4everhopeful · 02/12/2010 23:54

X post and big hello to my fellow late night mummy lbm! Xmas Grin Hows our gorgeous baby belle? X

4everhopeful · 02/12/2010 23:47

Love the name change Louey Xmas Grin just dropping into squeeze your hand tightly for tomorrow, you sound like your being very brave but im sure youre weebling inside.. Ill be sending sticky positive vibes at 2pm and watching my phone avidly..

Thanks to you, and vjj and monkey for the wise words and booster about bf, and reminder that it is such a short time, i do love it and only really do it at night as it is.. After the long wait to have her im quite ok with the broken nights, as Blue said the cuddles outweigh everything! Xmas Grin

Monkey that natalie cassidy prog was called 'becoming mum' or something, on e4, tbh shes quite annoying but im still obsessed with all things baby related... can i wish a hopeful thought for a very deserving, but no doubt petrified lady? Xmas Wink Ill be watching this space rather intently.. Xmas Wink

LittleJingleBellsMum · 02/12/2010 23:43

Yeah! Its snowing and getting near to Christmas, another mad week is over and I have another snow day with the dc's tomorrow! And to add to the happiness, babyJ has been sleeping better - life is good!

vjay I've also name changed for the first time, just for you!

Loueyobethlehem great name but a bugger to write? Hope all goes well tomorrow - sure it will, please text when you can

Got to go, snuggly bed calls!

OhLoueyTownofBethlehem · 02/12/2010 22:44

Just a quickie from me (sorry)

vjj have namechanged especially for you Xmas Grin

monkey oooooh - I'm getting excited for you - when are you going to test (assuming you've got one at home and are not snowed in...) It would be so lovely to have another Emmsy on the medium pant bench.

cupcake big sigh of relief that DH's job is safe until June. A much happier xmas in the cupcake household I think. Well done J for sleeping through too - long may it last.

blue blimey - when you take the day off, you don't lounge around like any sensible person.....the amount you got done in one day puts me to shame Xmas Grin

barbie fab link Xmas Grin. Hope you are getting a very well deserved night's sleep and dolly is not so hyper tomorrow. When is your DH back?

4ever hope you had a nice snow day with DH. I think Stacey is definitely going to win Celebrity (with good reason).

Waves to everyone else. Things are frantic here, DH hopefully back tomorrow morning (as long as his flight is not delayed) then we are straight off into town for a nice lunch and scan at 2pm. I will try and text as soon as I know but we will be getting straight back on the tube so there may be a delay while we're underground. Keep your fingers crossed that everything is ok.

VJayJingles · 02/12/2010 18:09

Loved that link barbie dh watched it too and found it hilarious Xmas Grin

monkey Xmas Grin I don't want to get too excited but can't help it Xmas Grin, that's not very helpful is it. You need to do a test my lovely, here's my hand because I know this will be a nerve racking time for you.

cupcake well done to Jude and his sleep, long may it last.

4ever you stop the boob when you want to, there's no reason why you can't carry on as you are if it works for you. When you look back it is such a short space of time in the grand scheme of things. I can see that more clearly with Ajay because I have Cjay Xmas Smile, you are doing so well and I love hearing all about Summer and what you both get up too Xmas Smile

blue I've thought all day about cleaning and gutting my house after your day yesterday....but it's too cold Xmas Grin

Right gotta go and cook my man his steak.
Oh and I'm a little dissapointed there are no more Christmas name on here Xmas Grin

monkeybumsmum · 02/12/2010 16:43

Love it Barbie Grin

Lovely Cupcake, a lie in!!! Let's hope he continues to enjoy his sleep Smile

I definately agree re Stacey, she is so sweet and lovely, even if she has got amazing legs Envy (oh, and a nice rack as dh said Hmm) I really hope she wins.

4ever What was the programme about Natalie Cassidy? I didn't hear anything about it - did she come across well? I know I've said this before, but ds was b'fed until 15 months, and i loved having those cosy cuddles in the morning with him feeding. It goes too quickly as it is, so take advantage of her still being little enough to do that Smile (Unless there are problems that is?)

I completely forgot to say yesterday, that for some reason my AF is late Hmm Was due about Tuesday. Had really bad cramps on Tuesday night, some more yesterday, but no AF Confused Haven't even dared tell dh for fear of jinxing anything (although am sure it's not 'that'). Help!

barbie1 · 02/12/2010 15:08

jools especially for you!

Phew, what a hard day...

Dolly wouldnt go to sleep since 11am this morning Shock she is super duper hyper!

Im just watching for the football result for dh and then im off to bed myself...hope you are all safe and warm.

Will be back tomorrow to check for scan results, although they will be good! Smile

Night night all x

4everhopeful · 02/12/2010 10:17

Yay to the long sleep cupcake! Xmas Grin A corner is turned perhaps?! S however woke at 7.30 as opposed to her usual 9ish and woke loads in the night, shes now having an early mid morn nap Xmas Hmm do think will have to get tough in the new year, much as i love the cuddles in bed, may have to withdraw the boob/sleep association.. Xmas Sad

Agree on all points re celeb, kayla is a tad whiney but dom let himself down, a shame cos he was initially rof lol hilarious! Talking of telly i watched that natalie cassidy prog last night after you and sabs said you thought of me! Seems common to have long inductions, very similar to our experience apart from i was at least getting contractions all the way through the 5days, just not dilating, and like her didnt want a section, so despite the forceps and stitches was glad i had the chance to try and push her out for over an hour first, mad as it sounds! Ooh it didnt half bring it all back though! Xmas Grin Sounds crazy but what a fantastic happy memory of every second of it! Wouldnt change a thing!

cupcakefairy · 02/12/2010 06:16

Omg jude has only just woken up, im in shock!! but very happy even if it is a one off!

4ever i forgot to reply to you sorry, yeah loving stacey she'll win for sure. was loving dom too butyou're right, so narky last couple of days. he's been nasty to kayla too which i don't like at all, even if she is a bit annoying. haven't seen last nights yet, will be entertaining jude with that over breakfast Grin

morning everyone!
