Emmy's weebles are taking over mermaid's greenhouse!

Thank you all so much - you are all so lovely. I'm off to bed now to try and get some sleep. Will be back on in the morning. It's going to be a very long day.

louey I was just checking in to offer my hand for tomorrow too...so sorry to read there is a reason to worry. Echo blue in saying thank God the scan is tomorrow so you don't have long to wait. As everyone has said, sooo many people have bleeds that turn out to be nothing. Praying hard for you and that little bean x

4ever 11th is definitely a possibility for me! My sister will be on Christmas hols by then and would love us to come to London I'm sure so I'll pencil it in! I really doubt many others will be able to make it though it's coming up so fast!! Hey that's one positive if dh is out of work for a bit...I can get him to come to London with me on a weekday to meet you

No more news on job front. Hoping and praying he hears tomorrow whether he has an interview for another job...meh.

We are busy distracting ourselves by planning ds's christening for this Sunday. Dh has Friday off so we can spend the day baking and cooking, my sisters will be singing in the service, we have a super cute cake with his name and an icing baby on it and I have a lovely dress and new boots...very excited :)

phew louey , glad the cavalry arrived! You all have such a lovely way of expressing your support. It is great to hear so many positive stories too, hoping they are helping you stay a little more positive until tomorrow xx

louey my heart goes out to you, hang on to us tightly and we will get you through these few hours until tomorrow. I so remember saying these words to vjay and sabs With hope and faith xxxxxx

Just logged on to do big catch up and saw louey's post . You must be beside yourself . Like Vjay with Ben I had brown bleeding every day for 5 weeks sometimes with tiny clots too. I also had two episodes of bleeding with Isaac...

Thank God your scan is tomorrow, we are all praying for you and your bean, please try and get some rest xxx

Hey louey another hand to hold here. I also had brown bleeding with saara in the first few weeks and then everything showed up ok at my 7 week scan. Will be lurking to check for news. Sending you lots of love and hugs x

Only had 1 little bleed but enough to panic me still frantically knickerchecking and wiping still not sure I will ever stop!! Just praying for a sticky one for you xxxxx

{{{{{ louey }}}}}, I had brown and red spotting on and off from weeks 5 to 9 with Ajay. Major headf**k!!!!!! I'm thinking of you xxx

louey big hugs to you, try not to worry too much (says the worlds biggest worrier) and focus on tomorrow where you will hopefully get some answers. you know we are here through good or bad, im sending you positive vibes for a sticky bean xxxxx

I'd forgotten that bq, thank you, that helps a bit. Did your bleeding stop quickly??

Hello louey am so thinking of you right now am hoping and praying that things will work out for you tomorrow don't know if it will help but remember I had some brown blood and then saw a heartbeat a week later just hope that it will work out for you please let us know what happens all my love bq x x

Bleeding seems to have stopped but still cramping. Feels like its all hanging by a thread

Louey I don't seem to have your mobile number - FB it to me if you want some text company xxx

Oh Louey

I just popped on to wish you well for tomorrow and have seen your message I don't know what to say except, you know that it could go either way. I read so many threads on here when I started to MC and for every one that started with brown blood and ended with a MC there was another that went on to have a successful PG. At least your scan is tomorrow, so hopefully you will find out more then. I know the other wise Emmsy's will say it much better than me, but I want you to know that i am thinking and praying that this turns out positively for you.

Big hugs and hand holds for you

Oh Louey no You must be terrified, but remember that bleeding doesn't always have to mean the worst. One of my best friends had a bleed at around the stage you are now, and all was okay. I know that probably won't help, but just know we are thinking of you, and try to stay calm until tomorrow afternoon. Am sending you such a big tight . Stay strong, and I will be thinking of you constantly xxx

I'm bleeding brown blood, started this afternoon but only when I wipe. Also have a bit of cramping. I'm going to lose this one too

Sorry in advance for lack of proper posting, am having a pause to feed a post carrot puree bot bot amidst wrapping christmas pressies! Your not alone Neeko!

Barbie Louey im right with you on the hecticness of December which is why i mentioned it today, as i remember talk of a December meet up on a saturday, but as already so busy like you louey the 11th is only free one left, i would prefer a weekday too if it does still happen!

Anyway, im already praying hard for you tomorrow Louey im sure you are bricking it and weebling massively, roll on 2pm, we are all in that scan room with you holding your hand, please post asap! X

Just a quickie from me

lbm so pleased you had a lovely time, the run up to it must have been pretty hellish with J being in hospital. Fingers crossed that J's squeak doesn't come to anything. DS2 has come down with a stinking cold - lots of bugs around at the moment.

4ever I can't do 11th (having night away with DH ) and actually December is a nightmare for me. Because all our parents live miles away, we spend it either travelling to deliver presents, or having guests. We haven't got a free weekend at all. I would just find a date that that majority can do. Potentially I could do a weekday depending on when it is.

Symptoms tailing off again, did HPT this morning and its v dark but can't wait to get to tomorrow afternoon and know what is going on. Off in a min to take Isaac to an assessment - 1 hour each way in the car and then 2-3 hours for the assessment. They are supposed to be good so we shall see!

Hey ladies, hope u all had a lovely weekend to all taking shelter from the rain in the greenhouse!

Just had a thought and know i should really do an e mail but thinking about our possible December meet up - just wanted to put a date out there as the next few weeks are fast getting booked up, as im sure are for the rest of you! Only 7weeks til christmas! If we are looking to do a saturday how about the 11th? A weekday would maybe better for me however, but obviously alot of you are working and stuff..? Mermaid Cupcake Barbie Monkey whats the chances of you making it? How about our bonny lasses from Scotland? Sorry know should really of put this in an email! X

HI all
Thank you for all the lovely messages - little mouse is just fine now but has beenn a bit squeeky today, so I'm going to keep my eye on her for the next few days.

Sorry to hear about your dh cupcake - what a bummer

Good luck for Tuesday loeuy but you won't need it, it will be fine.

MLS I'm rather at you only needing to lose 1 stone. I've got 2 to go to get to prepregweight and 3 to go to get to pre miscarriage weight... However, it's going well as I've nearly lost the first stone, so only 2 more to go...

Got to go - rl has been mad as ever, we had a fab time at centre parcs and have been running ever since - I've been in bed at 9pm the last two nights and have had a bonfire party today, so have just finished tidying up and getting ready for school and so, now I need sleep.

Night all - will catch up properly later this week...

Hiya
mermaid thanks for the letters link I will take a look , and I did PMSL at the Santa talk being worse than the sex talk and loving your ds being in the bath with a snorkel on, was he really? because CJay does that too

monkey so glad your pooch is in remission, but sorry about her eye . Glad you had a nice, if tricky, birthday, and your af was probably late because you were very wound and stressed at the time it was due, maybe...anyhoo, glad you have a plan re ttc

neeks I stayed away from the cheese , I did make some cheese scones though, yummy

Hi louey and big yahoo to puking , hope you had a nice breezy walk.

Well we went to a bonfire and firework display on the shores of Loch Ness last night, twas very nice , then today we went for a stroll along the beach with Lazy Mazy, but it was cut short when Cjay went waist deep into the freezing sea, goodness knows what he was thinking , he came out smiling thinking it was funny, we did not!!!

Need to invest in some whisper cream.....

Hello I'm multitasking, cooking roast dinner and trying to post at the same time so apologies if I miss someone out.

4ever poor you, ear infections are the pits. Hope it clears up quickly, at least you got antibiotics - hopefully that it will stop it getting any worse.

Barbie need teeth update

monkey hello my lovely. I'm glad you had a good birthday but stupid AF for getting your hopes up. Your plan is good, but I have everything crossed that you won't need it and you have your bfp long before then. My appt isn't until 2.40 so I'm going to to work in the morning and will go to the hospital after lunch. Hope I haven't got to wait too long. Would definitely have tried to get take that tickets, except that I should (hopefully) be about to give birth at that point. Lucky you getting lots though, I know loads of people who tried all day and didn't get any.

mermaid monkey is totally right about Christmas magic. I'm 37 and still love it. I can't really remember being traumatised when I found out and hopefully DS won't be too. How is he feeling?

mls DS2 is only a few weeks old - please don't worry about weight loss. You have ages to get rid of it. You need chocolate muffins for sanity to keep up your bf'ing energy

vjay bet you're glad DH is back. Lazy mazy sounds like a girl dog after my own heart

neeko did DD1 like the fireworks?? We didn't take the boys this year, all the displays were on Friday and it was raining. Maybe next year.

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend.

So puking started right on cue yesterday at 6+1, weirdly satisfying to be right. I felt awful all day but not so bad today. DH said he prefers it that I feel awful as my symptoms did tail off last time at around the time they think the baby died. Going to take the boys out for a nice walk this afternoon and enjoy the autumn leaves. It has gone freezing here today!

Hi all.

Monkey Glad to hear you had a nice holiday though sending you a hug for those dreams and the delayed arrival of the bitch witch. FWIW I'm staying until everyone's had their baby too and I'm pleased to hear you have a plan. The rut is horrible and I was there far less time than you.
Re Christmas.I am the biggest kid ever so getting organised is fun for me. I love that DD1 gets really excited about it now and know she'll be at fever pitch by Christmas Eve. It'll be great not to be the only one who can't sleep for excitement this year.

Mermaid Great link. Thanks so much. Re non-believing. When I found out (on Christmas Eve age 11.5 ) my mum said that the Santa magic would still be there every Christmas morning. She was right and I'm 34. I think magic's always there for the making. Hope DS is feeling better. Loved the image of him snorkelling in the bath. too sweet.

4ever hope you're feeling better and getting lots of cuddles from S.

Cupcake Congrats on being an auntie but re Dh's job. At least you know you're strong enough as a couple to cope with anything.

Blue loved your comments on Ben. H is also getting so entertaining now. She loves her sister to bits and squeals with delight to see her. I love it! Hope your DH did well with the list of toys for hs boys.

MLS No serious weight loss for you. Dairy milk is compulsory for good milk supply

Louey here's my hand for the scan. Bet your head's all messed up. Deep breaths.

Vjay Stay away from that cheese!

QA Loved the link. Going to see him in April and can't wait. Won't be long now til your op, then we'll be dusting off our white coats!

Barbie Hope Dolly's teeth are through. H has been dribbling for Scotland. When's your scan? Loved the hiding stuff in the microwave BTW.

Right, off to make some hot chocolate (with whispers cream ) for my two firework watchers. Really wanted to go myself but someone had to stay home with H and since I'm the one that feeds her...

Love to everyone else, especially those we haven't heard from for a while. Coem back, I'll be putting up the Christmas decorations in the greenhouse with Blue and Monkey soon.

Hello!

Well, I finally have a few minutes to try to have a read through of what's been going on Feel like life has been one big whirlwind recently.

Blue Wow re your conversion - it looks fantastic, and absolutely spotless!!! I would love a room like that! Also, agree re White Company stuff, I love it! Am not allowed on the site though (self-imposed) as is just too dangerous Do those winter candles really smell lovely? Hhhhmmmmmm
Your tales of Ben's monkeyness made me smile, he sounds wonderful!

Barbie Thanks for the messages on my birthday, you are so lovely How's D doing? Has the sleeping improved at all?
Was SO sad to read about Lily Allen - I cried for her. How devastating Thought about her all that night, and just wished I could say something to her - it must be such a terrible time
re hiding stuff in the microwave - hope you didn't forget and turn it on

VJay How are you? Thanks for asking about my dog - she's doing well considering. She's now officially in remission (hooray!) although this might not last v long. Also, she's damaged her eye, and we are fighting to save her sight. She came on holiday with us so we could keep up her medication. It seems to be improving thank goodness.
Well done to you and Neeko on your fab weight losses!!! That's amazing! If I can get my scales working I might join you!

Neeko Fab re Sainsbury's sale - is probably not on any longer, but might pop and check after this! Yay for being in a Christmas frenzie, me too!!! My present box in the cellar is half full already with stocking stuff and other pressies. I love looking through it! Can't believe you've started writing cards already you are so funny! I think you should do an ultimate christmas timing list to get us all organised

QA Hello! Am glad you managed to get through your EDD - it's tough isn't it Glad you had extra cuddles with your dh, it sounds like you are being well looked after
Are you looking forward to X Factor this evening? I can't wait! Rebecca is great, and I love Matt and Aidan too weirdly. I like his intensity

Louey You must be terrified about Tuesday. You know we all have everything crossed for you that there's a lovely little heartbeat there. What time's your appt?

4ever Lovely to hear how S is progressing, she comes across from your descriptions as such a happy girl So lovely to read about Your photo's are wonderful too! Both you and S looked stunning in the christening ones! What a cutey too in the Halloween costumes! Bless her.
Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly, have the antibiotics started working yet?

MLS Glad to hear both your girls are fine Sounds like you have everything well under control! I cried when you said you weren't going anywhere until every last one of us has had a baby - is lovely to know that someone believes we can all do it, even when perhaps we don't.
I saw the ad for I'm a Celeb - just hope it's not on too late, as with the hour difference it can mean it's too late for us to watch, boo!

BQ Great that you're feeling sick (that sounds awful doesn't it, but ykwim ) It's a very good sign, although horrible to go through.

Cupcake Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your dh's job. That's awful. I really hope he finds something else soon. J sounds fantastic, and it's lovely to imagine him under the table giggling

Mermaid Your poor ds, is he feeling any better after his underwater adventure? Also, that link is great, thanks! I've just ordered one for ds, the one about the missing reindeer. Can't wait to read it to him!

Thanks ever so much for all the lovely birthday wishes Had a good day thanks, and dh spoilt me rotten which was lovely. It was a tricky day emotionally, but I tried, and managed, to keep it under control. I did have really upsetting dreams about my mum that night, and woke up literally sobbing It must have been natures way of letting stuff out I suppose. Also, my AF was due on Tuesday, and all I had was a bit of brown spotting - I really thought I was pg, and even dh did. Lo and behold AF turned up two days late so not sure what happened. Feeling pretty gutted tbh, but have a plan - am going to go on Clomid as discussed with dr's in March if we haven't got pg naturally by then. Am fed up with this now - two and a half years stuck in a rut. Feel like screaming!

Hope you are all having a good weekend - anyone going to bonfire/firework displays? We might next weekend as I think ds will love it!
Also, did anyone try for Take That tickets? Some friends and I all tried for several different dates, and managed to get 12 tickets between 4 of us Have got to get rid of some now!

Love to all xxx
