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

x -post, its just knowing your not alone in your grief, that is whats invaluable about our precious thread...

I actually just cried reading that link.. Makes you just thank god to be finally blessed with a child.. She will of lost hope, I pray she finds it again... Us ladies know you have to cling onto it with both hands so the awfulness of losing a baby doesnt eat you up completely forever...

oh no i just see on MSN poor poor thing will be devestated and traumatised.. She needs some Emmsys support in the months to come...

Thanks Barbie!! i will try and e mail a pic too! Buggy fit sounds like its torture great! I miss exercise! What happened to Lily Allen?

Ok shes crawling all round the floor now so had a few mins to upload her halloween pics!

Also the image of Ajay reading made me and reminded me of some pics I took a few wks ago of Summer 'reading' the books my great aunt sent her, so put that up too!

Hello lovelies!

A very HAPPY birthday wish to lovely Monkey! You deserve to be royally spoilt as one of these lovely ladies once saud to me! Hope your bos come up trumps!

Bluelurkingatwork Hope all good with you lovely, your posts always make me smile, specifically the prozzie shoes and literal dancing!

Brings me on to Mermaid, so with you on the wedding etiquette! Glad to hear you had a mojito status quo induced haze of fun!

BTW thanks for comments about my christening outfit! Was sooo nice to get really dressed up again, pink shoes courtesy of M&S, more expensive than the dress, from Next!

Louey lovely weeble, bound to be analysing evey feeling you have or dont have, think you are doing incredibly well...Hang in there, dig deep in that sand...

BQ same goes for you, hope you are doing ok?

Barbie well done and a zillion gold stars for perserverence, I think your strong willed lil lady gets her traits from her mummy! You'll soon be drunkenly staggering home, hopefully you will get a night or 2 when your mum comes over?

QA also laughed muchly at the tipping chair - another funny poster indeed!

Vjay love love love the penny walk idea! Thats something my dad would of loved, agree with Cupcake you are one fabby mummy & should write a book!

Cupcake your anniversary sounds picture perfect, glad it was so lovely and what a fab pressie from your bf!

Our halloween was great, surprised our mums with our gorgeous lil pumpkin trick or treating! Toooooo cute! Also did huge batches of sweet potato & parsnip, which she loved! Got weighed on weds and is now 16lb 1oz She's currently sitting on my lap chatting nonsense and blowing raspberries very loudly!! OOh yea and she sat up unaided for a few mins on saturday! Right she's now starting to grizzle, back asap! to everyone else! x x x x x

Hey gals,

Just a quickie from work to wish Monkey a hippy happy b'day . Hope your DH and that gorgeous boy of your's spoil you rotten and the sad thoughts are kept at bay xx

Vjay - penny walking - what a great idea! You need to publish a book "Vjay's tips for keeping little ones busy and happy "

louey - the early weeks are just so s-l-o-w - it can literaly test your sanity . Keep busy with your boys and work and schooling . Loved the Halloween photos

barbie - you will be kicking your heels up again with your DH, getting royally drunk on cocktails and having some fun (and a wee brother/sister for Dolly ..) Oh and go D with her longer lie ins. It's all coming together...

mermaid - hell I've danced to the Quo at weddings, probably air guitared and everything . I am one of those 'takes songs literally' when I dance (i.e. ain't no mountain high enough - I am pointing to the ceiling etc. etc. I'm SO with you on wedding footwear these days - prozzie shoes no less . I struggled to find a modest wee sling back 3 inch heel court for our one last week but NEXT came up with the goods .

QA - LOL at you needing a tip out chair . I need a crane some days if I've been crouching on the carpet too long with the boys. Have to physically uncurl my limbs and get up in stages with the aid of the couch

Back laters xx

Happy 1st of November all and especially to Monkey a big Happy Birthday. I hope you have a lovely day and it turns out better than you are expecting

QA thank you - just a bit because in both my previous pgs I've been feeling very very sick at this stage so it feels a bit different. I wonder if its because I've already got used to the hcg because I was pg earlier in the year?? Did see the x-factor results after all. God knows who is voting for some of the acts....

Vjay love the idea of penny-walking - thank you for the explanation. Did the boys enjoy halloween??

Barbie way to go Dolly!!! You sound so much more upbeat today. Have fun at buggyfit and you will be sipping mojitos with DH before very long I promise you. I have a GP antenatal appt on Thursday and I will be begging asking him to refer me to EPU for an early scan. I think he will so it will just be a case of waiting for the appt to come through. Time is going sooooooooo slowly at the moment.....

Off to see a school this afternoon for Isaac. Not sure its the right one as it is a special school and we would rather not go down that route but we are keeping all our options open at the moment. Should be going to see our preferred school on Friday (although they are full so I'm not sure what is going to happen with that).

That was meant to be meltdown free, and QA

Morning

Happy birthday monkey, I wish you a lovely relaxing and HAPPY (mrltdown free) birthday

qu once your op is done we'll all have a cocktail night with you , any excuse really

barbie you did make me laugh 'a bit of westlife thrown in'. Buggy fit sounds fun . The diet starts here for me and neeko too, she was texting me at HALF SEVEN this morning raring to go she was

Ok penny walking is; when you go out for a walk and get to a junction you flip a coin to see which way to go next, so heads can be left and tails right. Cjay kept throwing tails hence us walking in a lot of circle . It helps him to learn his lefts and rights in a sneaky way

louey understandable to be weebling but you know how much symptoms can vary over the course of a day or two. Test sounds positive, no pun intended

Keep staying hopeful Am crossing everything for you xx

I meant line came up before the control line (d'oh)

Happy Halloween [hgrin]

We have had the grand total of 2 trick or treaters. I think that is one more than last year. DCs were not particularly interested in my attempts at pumpkin carving and more interested on watching cbeebies on the iplayer [hhmm] I have eaten too much chocolate and feel like a whale. Zoo was very nice yesterday but you were right QA it did finish me off.

QA I'm also hoping for Wagner to go tonight, but I probably won't see the results tonight so please don't post the result. Glad your EDD went ok and it was nice to have DH around for it. Onwards and upwards....

mermaid I assume it wasn't you in the yeti high heeled boots???? [hgrin] and status quo deserves one of these Glad you had a good time, you deserve a good night out dancing.

vjay did you go guising in the end???

Waves to everyone else, hope you are all ok and have had a good weekend. Am weebling slightly due to lack of symptoms today but did another test yesterday and line came up before the test line so still keeping hopeful.

As I am here just nosying alone and admiring all these photos of your gorgeous smiley LO's on thought I would copy the list on to our shiny new thread.

ooh, meant to say 4ever loved your christening pics too, your outfit was gorgeous

Am going to have a nosy at the other pics now

Happy Halloween! [hsmile]

Ds has enjoyed the trick or treaters calling to the house in all their costumes, he has been in charge of handing out the goodies and loved carving the pumpkin with DH this afternoon.

4ever hope S enjoyed her 1st exeprience of Halloween, bet she looked V cute in her pumpkin outfit [hgrin] Thanks for the update about LBM really hope everything is ok now and they are enjoying a well deserved break at centre parcs.

mermaid Glad that your Mum is coming to your rescue with some home cooking. Your friend's DP sounds lovely sending her off to a B&B. Sounds like bliss!

Louey How are you feeling? After a day at the Zoo I bet you were wiped out. hope you all had agood day. Can only echo barbie and say it must be bittersweet being pregnant whilst your Sister is having such problems, it sounds as though you are really there for her though and I am sure she wouldn't want her own difficulties to take away from your joy. I also had a good look at the top 100 names, i find it fascinating

moon How are you doing? Bet it is not often you have to type 'I was crying laughing at the poo comments'

blue Like the fact that you are claiming a bean bag in the greenhouse, you can have it, I prefer a hardback high chair, can no longer get out of a bean bag with any grace or dignity. At this rate I will be in one of those tipping chairs you see in old peoples homes before I am 40 Seems as though B is keeping you busy now he is getting around, bum shufflers are just too cute! White company candles sound expensive gorgeous!

neeko Hope H's teeth are finally through and sleep has improved for you. Thanks for the update on MLS Am that you managed to get so much in the Sainsburys sale, meant to go and then forgot all about it. Loved the idea of the tooth fairy costume too.

Vjay Glad that the dentist appointment went so well and the dentist was proactive in helping Cjay get used to the procedure by lending a mask. I have never heard of a penny walk either?!

Barbie It's fab that your mum is coming to help you out, though from what you have said you are turning the corner already. can't believe Your DD can get her P'J bottoms off, that is one determined baby

Cupcake Cuddle with a newborn,Sushi and cinema, what a great way to celebrate your anniversary

Mermaid Status Quo, status Quo, status quo???? I will let this pass this time as a) it was a wedding and therefore THE LAW you dance to crap dodgy music and B) you were drunk I am very of your mojito hangover, well not the hangover, but the mojito. I fancy a cocktail night to celebrate once I have had my Op.

Monkey big hugs to you. So sorry that you are having such a hard time and that you are not looking forward to your birthday tomorrow Agree with mermaid that this year just needs to hurry up and finish and a bright new year can begin.

Thanks for your thoughts about my EDD this week, have been ok, actually fine on the day, but today and yesterday felt a bit low. DH had a bit of time off work so that has helped and Ds has been great at helping to take my mind off things. Had extra cuddles with him.

Looking forward to watching the Xfactor results, Hoping Wagner goes tonight. Rebecca is my favourite so far.

Wow that was longer than I had anticipated

boo[hgrin]

monkey don't expect you will have time to read this but sending you a whole pumpkin load of extra strength all tied up in birthday ribbon. I feel like we need to sweep this year out of the way as quickly as we can for you. Sending some virtual doggy drops toox

vjay what is penny walking?

cupcake sorry lovely happy belated anniversary and fab news at your bf new arrival.

barbie fingers corssed for a better night. You are doing ace girl hang on!

omg at wedding etiquet(sp) yeti high heel boots boots at a wedding [hgrin]

Happy Hallowe'eeeeeeeeeeeeen [hgrin][hgrin]

Hi ladies,
massive hug to monkey sorry it's been a crap couple of weeks :( relly hope you're pleasantly surprised by your birthday.

louey hope the zoo was fun! :)

Vjay aww you're such a good mummy, the guising and penny walking and pumpkin carving sound fab :)

barbie hope you're sound asleep by now! I missed half of Strictly cos poor babycake is still waking with his cold :(

Got a dress for ds's baptism today; dh even said I looked hot in it

Met baby Noah last night omg could not believe how tiny he was...surely my lump of a boy was never that small!! I cried meeting him
Thanks for all the anniversary wishes... our date last night was FAB- sushi and cinema just lik old times. I loved it :)

Hiya

louey guising is a term I learned when I moved up here, it is indeed trick or treat, but the original!

monkey I hope you have a lovely birthday, not a meltdown [hsad]. How is your doggy doing? Big hug to you my lovely xx

barbie hows it going, is Dolly asleep yet?

Had a lovely day today, went for a penny walk with the boys, ended up going round in circle cos the penny kept landing on tails [hhmm], but Cjay loved it [hsmile], then this afternoon I carved the pumkin and made pumkin soup and pumkin pie, yummy yummy yum yum [hsmile]
