Hope it goes ok tomorrow neeko big hugs for you and your family.

blue I have got your phone number, barbie sent it to me yesterday. Clearly I wasn't reading straight though Confused, I put it in my phone, and did send you a text but when I checked it again this morning, there is one digit wrong!!! Someone else is probably wondering what on earth it was about! Anyway, apologies to you, I have now put it right Grin The boys christening outfits sound very cute, hope you post a pic afterwards so we can all coo. I guess it must be a very long week for you with DH away. Hope the boys are on their best behaviour for you.

barbie you are prob dehydrated from doing buggyfit in 35 degrees, lots of water for you. You do realise that its like 2 workouts in one Wink. I still haven't watched spooks though - please don't give it away yet. Glad your mum arrived safely - hope you are going to have some me-time while she is there x

4ever I'm really not sure that you have enough xmas outfits for summer yet Grin Grin. But seriously, given what you went through to get her, I'm not surprised you are madly excited about her 1st xmas. Glad your ears cleared up.

jools what on earth did you eat??? Hope you are feeling better soon

moon lovely to hear from you - how are you doing? I really hope our work don't block MN too.

vjay big pat on the back for you - that's a lot to go through without support. What a lovely thing for cjay to say. What's pilots??

QA - thanks - sorry you are not feeling good. Is the op still on for the end of the month?

This post has taken me ages - keep getting disrupted with non important work things.

Had slight panic last night as childminder said she thought Luke had slapped cheek syndrome and it was highly contagious. Cue frantic googling from me and a call to NHS direct. We decided it probably wasn't it but my main concern was that when I searched it turned out that it was dangerous to pg women as it increases risk of mc. You can imagine how I felt just after we had had the scan!!!! Anyway, red cheek has gone this morning thank god.

Ooh and xmas outfits - this is what I've got the boys for their nursery xmas party

Hi all. Quick dash in to say Yay to Louey, happy belated b'day to Jools (sounds like it was a good one) and pats on the back to Vjay and Barbie.

Thanks to you all for your nice messages. I'll hopefully be back on here on Fri. Take care all.

barbie1 · 10/11/2010 07:56

Hello Blue im slowly catching up with you all one by one! Your probably snoozing now! Bless your Ds's in matching outfits! Grin I have indeed got Summer a girly version of a father christmas outfit, long hooded dress coat from mothercare, some reindeers antlers, a ton of 1st christmas stuff, and stocking, bauble, vest, and teddy all personalised! Also got a personalised book, and a letter from santa (though a more baby version than the fab link mermaid sent). As well as that got the cutest 'mummys little pudding' babygro, also a pink fairy babygro with tutu and wings, and an even cuter pink tutu outfit from mamas and papas! I took my mum christmas shopping today and she got Summer some fab toys as pressies, but i was very good, although tempted, i resisted buying yet more cute, but unneeded stuff for her! Im like a kid in a candy shop Blush i just LOVE christmas anyway, but have waited so very long for this, have always gone mental on nieces nephews and mates kids so im absolutely in my element now with my long awaited special miracle girl! Grin

Hello gals This is me sitting down for first time today and I was beyond nervous logging on in case there were a sea of lilac faces..(missed out of txt loop (Louey I need to give you my number..)

Oh Louey Pheeeeeeeeeeeew! Smile. There is no greater feeling of relief than seeing the little flicker of a heartbeat. The nervous wait, the screen not being switched on just in case... So relieved and delighted for you. Next stop 10 weeks, hand holding commenced again at 1500 hours today Smile.

This flying solo lark is knackering and I'm so behind with everyon'es news but should have somet time on my lunch tomorrow for catch up.

But in summary:

Neeko - excuse my oversight of fogetting to acnowledge your DGrandpa's passing Sad. Hope you're all OK and bearing up x

Jools - glad you ended up with glass of vino in hand Smile

barbie - you need to publish your memoires one day! You have done a bloody marvelous job being a Dubaian and Dolly is a testement to your love and joy at having her. You need to post a clip of her free style walking on FB!

mermaid - I LOVe new shiny hardwood floors with or without kitten prtins Smile. I could spend all day buffing them up. Thanks for Santa letter link, DH and me are going to be all over it when he comes home (for the Ds's of course Wink.

4ever - glad your ear is better, again sorry I missed that ou from previous post, its hard to remember when you don't post for a few days Have you thought of an outift yet for Summer's first Xmas? I have Benjy's Xmas Eve-Xmas Day jammies - too cute. Fingers crosse dthere's not a 'code brown' early xmas morning and he has to revert to his normal white/pael blue babygrows!

BQ - thanks for popping in!

You too Bluemoon

monkey - hope your sub conscious crying helped clear out some kept in emotions. I so empathise with your frustrations and heartache of being in limbo. I remember actually posting on a thread two years back the OP titles it "being "in-between pg's" after she had mc. Its the not knowing that just strangles your emotionally every single day. It will happen, if there is any fairness in the universe x

Vjay - you do make me Smile with your Ajay and Cjay updates. What a moment that would habe been hearing Cjay say that. re: water, I fill a 2 litre one every morning and have it finished by tea time - or else. It does fill you and more importantly from my advancing years, help keep your skin looking plump

cupcake - sorry for by tadry repsonse to your Dh's news - it sucks. My DH has been there too and it was a stressful time.. The christening sound sjust lovely with all the family rallying round and cupcakescupcakes doingt eh rounds. What is the man of the hour wearing?

Right, that's it for tonight. Off to order Ds's Xmas outifts they are also wearing to my niece's christening next month. My first time matching them Smile. They're both wearing blue/red/white checked soft cotton shirts with grey button cardigans on top and Isaac is wearing blue cords whilst Ben is wearing blue cord dungarees. I will be proud as punch walking into church with them Smile

Not a bad catch up after all.. and collapse x

4everhopeful · 09/11/2010 21:16

Helloooo lovelymermaid! Grin Ears much better fanks! Hows your lovely ds? Absolutely melted at the image of him in the bath with his snorkel Grin told my dh and his eyes lit up, think it gave him ideas! Hmm

I brought Summer one of her many christmas pressies a special lamaze mermaid doll in honour of you the other day! Grin Its to go with her weebles Grin x

mermaidspurse · 09/11/2010 20:47

oh blimey, neeko forgot amidst the drama and then daydreaming about lucas to say Sad for your grandad. Hope you are as ok as can be and thinking about you on Thursdayx.

4ever Smile heeeelllllooooo. how is the ear?

vjay and you are a swotty swot on top of all that as well and you iron.x

Barbie and Vjay Grin and Grin you both deserve to pat yourselves on the back and you are right to be proud! Grin

Neeko sorry to hear about your grandpa Sad

Much love to everyone else, loved the chat today, and also love the way everyone comes together in moments of crisis, thank god its turned again to joy Grin Love you special ladies so much x x x x x

VJay · 09/11/2010 19:17

Yay louey GrinGrin

barbie I totally get that feeling you're feeling, I feel that way too when I really look hard at what I've done, moving away from all my family and friends, going through Cjays ASD diagnosis and 2 mc's, with just dh and all you lovely ladies to support me. It's character building is what it is Grin sorry didn't mean to jump on your band wagon there, but just really get it Smile

BlueMoon1981 · 09/11/2010 19:03

QuestionsAgain · 09/11/2010 17:12

Louey So so pleased for you Grin Grin

You must be so relieved to have got through that with good news and to see a heartbeat already Smile

Big hugs to you and in that strange way, only we can understand, glad that you are being sick Grin

Got to go, not feeling too good, but couldn't not check on you!

Love to you all, will hopefully catch up tomorrow xx

loueytbg · 09/11/2010 16:23

Hello I'm back home Grin Grin Grin

I honestly can't believe it - 7mm embryo and heartbeat seen. She said it all looks normal, couldn't see any reason why I was bleeding. We had a anxious few moments because she wouldn't let us see the screen while she hunted around with the dildocam and we had no clue what was going on. Can't tell you the relief when she turned the screen and showed us the hb. Tears of joy.

Thank you all so much for your support, I really could not have got through it without you. EPU will not give me another scan now unless I bleed again so we are going to book a private one at around 10wks as otherwise I'm going to go insane.....

mls I realised when sending the text that I don't have your number. I know you are a tad busy at the mo Grin, but when you get a chance can you pm it to me

barbie you have made me laugh today. Its lovely to hear you so happy again. I also haven't watched the latest spooks but hopefully will tonight.

Am grinning from ear to ear through the nausea Grin

mermaid i forgot to ask how ds is? hope he is better?
As for me i do feel better, dont know why but something just clicked today. At the nursery thingy everyone kept coming up to me asking about dolly, saying she is so cute/ well behaved/ clever etc etc, i was so proud i could of burst , i even overheard a group of mums talking about her...i think it was then it dawned on me that Dh and i have done pretty well on our own up until now, sure there has been a few ups and downs but on the whole its been a blast. Im having fun now, we laugh, we play, we understand each other and there is nobody i love more in the world than her (shh dont tell dh Wink) Then driving home i had one of those moments when i thought 'hell; im in dubai, im driving around, i have a life and we are making the most of it' We should be proud of ourselves for everything we have achieved in the last 2 years...its finally dawned on me and i can now pat myself on the back Smile

buggy fir would go nicely with vjays muff Grin

OP posts:
barbie1 · 09/11/2010 14:34

I can watch it later so we can talk about it soon!

Buggy fit...you walk fast run around the compound to a grassy area, take babies out of buggy or leave in buggy if they are well behaved, jog around lake, star jumps, sprint, lunges and squats, whatever the trainer shouts, limp back to original grassy area, flop on towel and pretend to do sit ups, press ups etc (or pretend your baby needs attention just when it gets too tough Wink then jog, hop, whatever around lake...back to grass and lunge, squats, yoga etc etc...walk like john wayne back to the coffee shop and indulge in cakes a healthy snack. Voile one hour of buggy fit and 10 quid poorer Grin

vjay i heart cjay Grin

mermaid i forgot you were a fellow spooks fan, i agree he cant go, not too sure Demitrie (sp?) is a good a eye candy as lucus Hmm

I gave up trying to understand several episodes ago. He can't go he is the bit of crumpet that makes a confusing programme bearable to watch.

VJay · 09/11/2010 13:49

Ajay has finally woken up!!! I'm going to give him his lunch then off on the school ride, good luck louey I will be thinking of you and will be back on here as soon as I can xxx

VJay · 09/11/2010 13:42

mermaid what didn't you understand, i can't say too much because barbie aint seen it yet. I'm not sure he's gone though...

mermaidspurse · 09/11/2010 13:41

mermaidspurse · 09/11/2010 13:40

Finally have a wax oiled floor with kitten prints of course. My kitten is the animal equalivalent of dolly I thinkGrin

louey well done, not long to go.x

VJay · 09/11/2010 13:34

Happy birthday jools Smile

barbie Ajay bit Cjay on the bum last night, Cjay cried and pushed his wee brother away. Anyhoo, Cjay went to Pilots that night and at the end they were asked to say something they were happy about and something they were sorry about to God, and he said he was sorry he pushed his brother, Smile

VJay · 09/11/2010 13:32

barbie spooks was great, I want to watch it again, and I understood it ALL last night Grin
