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

louey so sorry to hear about your sister

Both boys are in bed here, Ajay is asleep and Cjay is upset, he waved to a passing car today as he thought his teacher was in it but she wasn't and now he's all embaressed and keeps calling himself an idiot . When we got home he went straight to bed, and no cajoling from me is helping. Can't wait for dh to get home, Cjay always listens to him.

Laters xx

Louey so sorry to hear it hasn't worked out this time for your sister, I bet the poor girl is gutted I'm the same I keep thinking of all the things I could sell on ebay and have got as far as writing a list but that's it! Note to self must get more organised and start a kindle fund too Hope you have a lovely meal wherever you decide to go on Saturday and the antibiotics kick in very soon
Barbie Hope you had fun at the soft play and dolly behaved herself

Thanks barbie I just feel so helpless . What did Dolly do yesterday that provoked your FB comment?

curly loving the new name Very glad you have water and are now vomit-free

vjay I can't believe ajay won't been seen before March!!! That's so rubbish. Can you ask for a cancellation slot and be seen any earlier? I am thinking I may ask for amazon vouchers for my birthday for the kindle. If I got my act together like clever blue I could sell some stuff on ebay and use the money from that but there isn't enough hours in the day at the moment.

buddha yay to a running E . I've got an accident prone one too so you have my sympathies. It will get better - I guess the nursery are just covering their backs. Glad your ENT appt has come through - hopefully they will find out what is going on.

waves to 4ever hope you are ok x

In other news, I am on antibiotics as a result of a urine infection. Nice. Hopefully they will kick in quickly. I am feeling a bit more normal apart from that! We are going out on Sat night for a belated birthday dinner for DH which I am really looking forward to - just need to work out where we are going. My fave restaurant is too hard to go to when pg as there is so much I can't eat.

I did a post earlier and it disappeared - gaaaah!!!!

Just on quickly to say had text from my sister to say that it hasn't worked, levels have gone down since yesterday. I am so so gutted for her I don't know whether they will be able to afford to try again - my parents paid for this cycle.

Will try and get back on and do proper personals.

See I knew I'd forget people

4ever BQ and Cupcake please forgive me for not waving/mentioning you all
Buddha hangs head in shame and shuffles off to work!

Morning ladies
Posting at work so can't do a big catch up but probably best to start from scratch after a couple of weeks awol anyway

Well E has really found his feet now and is running walking everywhere, seem to be getting a phonecall from nursery every week saying he's bumped himself, bless him he obviously follows me as I'm so accident prone We had our first experience of sick the other night, he woke about midnight and he and the cot were covered I'd rather clean up pooh! I definately don't want to repeat that again this lifetime!
We've got our referral through to see the ENT consultant about his recurring ear infections and failed hearing tests, so will be interested to see what they say. CC has definately been a big hit in our house, next is the tantrums, they've started with a vengence this week (didn't think they happened until they were at least 2 )
Barbie You must be very tired and poorly as you've not been able to post So not like you hun, take care and try and rest a little if Dolly will allow it!
Curly Glad to hear things are getting better in your household
Vjay Hope your appointment for ajay arrives quickly

Big waves to Neeko Blue Monkey QA Louey LBM Sabs Mermaidmissyoulots and everyone else I'm bound to have missed!

Well at least I've done one thing tonight :)

Mental note: must change my name - so last season

Just came on to give a massive hug to monkey I've been thinking of you and your family today xxx

Well we aren't vomiting any more and the water is working again!! I'm just back from a short trip to relatives with curlygirl. She was adorable playing peekaboo with grandad under the table :)

I'm sorry for always lurking but never catching up properly. I feel so behind at the moment in just about everything, but especially MN :( I'll be back soon

{{{{{ monkey }}}}}

louey I'm crossing my fingers for your sister.
I rang the hospital to see if they have an appoinment for Ajay but he's still on the waiting list, but he will be seen no later than March.
Go get yourself a kindle, I LOVE mine and so does neeko

neeko how do you mumsnet on yours??????

barbie lots of hugs to you too xx

Waves to blue buddha 4ever and all you MIA emmsys xxx

Babydust and 4everhopeful crossed body parts for ya sis louey!

Babydust and 4everhopeful crossed body parts for ya sis louey!

Huge hugs to monkey for today. Been thinking of you.

Now have fingers firmly crossed for your sister Louey

Just a quickie, been lurking but wanted to give a huge hug to monkey hope today passes as well as it can
Louey I have everything crossed for your sister and a rise in the HCG levels

Big waves to everyone else will be back to update very soon I promise!

News from my sister - result is neither positive or negative. The hcg level was 13 and they class 25 as +ve and 3 as -ve. She is going to be monitored over the next few days. Really need the hcg levels to double - shes in a bit of mess needless to say.
Keep your fingers crossed.

x-post (twice) waves to blue

monkey {{{HUGS}}}} to you today. There are lots of hands ready and waiting as 4ever has said so eloquently. Thank you 4ever for reminding us.

Am on tenterhooks waiting for text from my sister - eek!!

barbie {{{HUGS}}} your post sounds tired IYSWIM. Really hope you get some rest and Dolly gets back to only waking up once. I guess having DH back has just thrown her routine a bit. I think the not knowing what is going on is the worst bit - plays with your mind. Don't forget you are going to be tired anyway with D to look after and having been ill (whatever has caused it). Lots of R&R for you x

QA OBEM is my guilty pleasure but as I can only watch it when DH is out, I am still getting through the Christmas programmes. It is definitely swinging me towards having another ELCS though. I cry every time the baby is born.

Vjay I have been reading the kindle thread on here and now I want one. God I am such a gadget queen...it was the person who said that they could read whilst bf'ing that made me think it would be a good idea. Still badgering DH for an ipad for my birthday though after all he does still owe me a christmas present.

LBM I naively thought that being pg with one would be easier...at this stage with the DTs I was definitely blooming. Think age must have a lot to do with it, either that or I'm having a girl....

Must go and do some work. Wish my sister would hurry up and text

sneaky from work to give support to monkey on this sadest of days. Hope you are getting through it and remembering the happy times with your DMum xxxx

louey - fingers and everything crossed for your sis xx

Having a busy week but just wanted to pop in too squeeze monkeys hand on a very hard sad week.. Forgive me, i dont know the actual day, but i hope you and your whole family find a way to mark it peacefully and to remember your lovely mum with a smile, no doubt through some tears.. Im sure she is looking down sending you strength and wishing you happiness..

to everyone else, will be back asap x x x x x

Fingers crossed for your sister, louey - really she sees that blue line
Good that MIL is home too - hopefully they'll get to the bottom of it soon

And as for blooming - I don't ever really rember getting to that phase last time. Hope you at least stop feeling tired and sick.
Got to go things to do...

louey Good luck to your sister tomorrow, would be lovely for you to enjoy being pregnant together. Happy birthday to your Dh too, I am sure he understands how much you are trying to juggle whilst still feeling rough and knows that you are growing the best present really hope you start to feel brighter soon. Good news that your MiL is well enough to go home but a bit that they haven't found out whats wrong due to staffing.

Neeko you sound too busy, hope you're ok and finding a bit of time to catch your breath.

LBM I wondered what extinction is too

Is anyone else watching the new series of One born every minute? I managed to watch it last night after tearing myself away from the millennium trilogy books, started them and am truly hooked!

Hello! Will attempt an update before I pretend to start work

Hi neeko I can imagine the juggling you must be doing. Glad the sleep has improved cos I can't imagine going back to work on a small amount of sleep. I'm with LBM though I don't know what extinction is either. I didn't know you could read MN on your kindle. Hmm might persuade me to get one since DH seems adamant that I'm not getting an ipad as its too expensive (meany).

vjay when is your appt with ajay's consultant. Horrible you have to wait when you just want answers.

QA big gold star to you and your DH on the bd'ing efforts . Have pom-poms at the ready for you

blue I'm a little at your holiday but loving the countdown already. I always think a holiday is good for motivating you to get fit, not that you need to mind as you are a goddess already . LOL at colour co-ordinating the boys. Tomorrow is test day for my sister. She has some symptoms (tiredness, sore boobs, couple of bouts of dizziness) but is on so many drugs that it could equally be due to that. Really hope they are symptoms and she gets that bfp.

LBM camper van - you are a mad and brave lady. Mind you, I did the caravan/camping thing years ago and really do like my nice hotels now. We've done the Perth/Broome trip (before dcs) and it was fab. Your trip sounds wonderful. Melbourne is one the cities I haven't been to - watched one of the relocation down under the other night and it was in Melbourne and it looked fab. The problem with watching those programmes is that it always makes me want to emigrate...

cupcake yay to new laptop and more MN'ing . Glad J has got the hang of finger foods - its horrible when they are gagging. Have you babyproofed everything yet??

barbie how are you?? Dolly sounds like my niece - into everything. She has done some fairly disastrous things with lipsticks and nail varnish....Really hope you are managing to get a bit more rest now that DH is back and that they get to the bottom of you probs asap.

monkey how did the party venue hunt go? Sounded like a great idea (apart from the cost), I bet DS had a fab time! We've booked DTs party for the end of March already - its in a hall with activities/food etc laid on. Its probably going to be a star wars theme (and princesses to make sure the girls have a easy outfit). DS2 is currently telling me he wants a red light sabre like Darth Vader....

BQ how are things? You must have your 20wk scan coming up soon.

Waves and hugs to 4ever, MLS, curly, iggy, jools, mermaidpleasecomeandletusknowyouareok and the several other Emmys's I have no doubt missed (sorry!)

MIL news - she is being discharged today . They still haven't found what's wrong although due to a lack of Drs they don't seem to have done much since last Friday . She is coming back in 2wks as an outpatient and I think the plan is to do a colonoscopy. We are a bit worried that they have discharged her without finding out the problem but she is desperate to get home as she is feeling much better.

Otherwise, am ok, aside from being knackered and still having days when I feel constantly nauseous. Really want the blooming phase to arrive now. Have been trying to finish a letter of complaint to Isaac's useless speech therapists although how much effect it will have I have no idea. DH's birthday today but we are not doing anything special and (shock confession) I have not yet written his birthday card
