Emmsy's ladies lets roll into spring together! Bring on some sunshine!

And here's to 4 years

blue thanks for the bear hug and if you have concerns about ds just ask his teachers, but your right about the encouragement, I tell ds1 he can do anything he wants when he grows up, as he long as he works hard and is always kind
Enjoy centreparcs, when do you go back to school, ours on tuesday!

buddha good to hear things are settling down with ds

blue you say the loveliest things. It is something quite special when we've all been here for so long, still supporting each other, and yes I agree that everyone has their times when they can't post or arent feeling up to it, but thats the beauty of this thread is that there is always someone around to offer a shoulder and a glass of wine. Glad to hear you've been enjoying the holidays and enjoy Center Parcs I am a very happy married lady, a few have said that on here, its funny how its changed me when I never expected it to. Symptoms well yes but could also be af symptoms, so am trying not to pay any attention to them

nice to see you buddha glad to hear things are looking up for you, and well done on your weight loss, nothing like losing weight for a confidence boost

4ever its so sad about Tia, I really hope they'll find her, it must be horrible not knowing and like you say you cannot comprehend how her family must be feeling. Makes it even worse that your family know her

Cant stop, will try to get back over the weekend. Hugs to all.

Hi everyone, so lovely to see a flurry of posts . I feel for not being on much either, it?s just been such a busy summer with school hols, wall to wall Olympics and decorating/gutting the house.

Anyway have said ?bugger work? and am going to write a decent lengthed post for once.

It?s nearly four years since we all started posting so I feel and hope you all do too that we may go through phases of not being able to post but are always there in the background giving stealth support. I genuinely think of you all as my friends and I?m not prone to gushy sentimentality (I?m Scottish after all ) but four years is an AMAZING achievement for keeping a thread going and it?s a testament to the genuine love and warmth we feel for each other.

Buddha - so glad to hear things are well with E. He looks such a happy, loved and cherished wee boy from your FB photos and that?s all down to you! Glad you?re getting support from your GP too and well done for the weight loss.

4ever - loved your post after Barbie?s dress link, I could so picture you laughing away. Really hope the egg is a good ?un ? a wee Spring 2013 baby? Can?t believe Summer is in 3-4 clothes, she?s going to be a tall girl that one! Olympic netball team circa 2028? What a worrying time you?re having with your Dsis, really hope she continues to get better.

Barbie - so to read about your horrendous side affects of the pill. Have you noticed a difference yet since stopping? I had to cease taking it back in 2001 as was getting almost daily focal migraines and was at risk of a stroke . Echo Buddha in saying Dolly and Henry are just thee most cutest brother and sister combo ever .

Rumours have a big, nay huge hug from me . You are amazing and will do whatever is right for DS2 as you have done for DS1. The professionals may just be overly cautious because of DS1?s history. My DS1 hardly spoke until he was 3 and will always have a slight teeny tiny form of dyslexia I think (its not been highlighted to me but he gets words muddled) but we just do our best, give extra love and support and always tell him he can achieve whatever he puts his mind to.

mrsmoon - CD24 now? Any symptoms? Loving your more frequent posts, you?re such a contended happy married woman

neeko - big waves to you my lovely. Hope you?re cherishing the last couple of weeks of the hols, at least the weather has finally realised its August!

LBM and Louey - so you were at the Olympics. Louey can?t believe you were there for super Saturday and saw Mo Farrah and Jessica, that must have been totally amazing. I was crying watching it on the telly!

cupcake how are your two? We need a more recent pic of DS2!

Sabs - how are you coping with the fasting? In this heat it must be hard x

Big hugs and waves to Monkey, MLS, Curly and anyone lurking x

The school hols have just swooshed by, can?t believe we?ve only one week to go. Will miss being able to have lazy mornings and late nights but am looking forward to quality me and B time again. We?re off to Centre Parcs tomorrow with extended family til Monday then off all next week so going to cherish it.

And oh I would so love for us all to meet up one day. Maybe a Christmas day/night out? Lots and lots of xxx

Massive apologies for not making it back earlier

Moon & 4ever Good luck for these next cycles ladies, as always will be hoping this is the lucky one
Rumours In the same boat as the others with lack of experience in these matters but have to agree that with you as a Mum neither of your ds's will go far wrong. You do an amazing job every day and no diagnosis will change that, we will be here for you though (hoping to be here more often posting rather than just lurking)
Barbie Diet?? I'd die for your figure! I'm currently doing slimming world and have managed to lose 9lbs in 4 weeks, it's been a lot easier this time round not sure why? Are you still distracting yourself with being busy? FB pictures of the kids are absolutely gorgeous

Sorry I didn't come back after posting my worries over E's behaviour and nursery, I had really good feedback from the nursery (they didn't have concerns with his behaviour but wanted to know if I knew there was support to help me at the childrens centre) I've since had parents evening and had such a glowing report, they say he's very advanced for his age with numeracy and literacy apparently he's more than ready for pre-school room but they are loathe to put him up too early as he's got 2 years in there compared to his other friends who will all go to school next year. It's typical isn't because of his late birthday he will be 5 when he starts and he could so do with going next year!
Things kind of came tumbling down all around me over the last couple of months, and I've been under the doctor for anxiety, I'm coming to terms with some issues and talking things through with my lovely GP, we've avoided medication so far as it's not ideal with ttc, but I do hope you know I didn't abandon you all, I've been lurking regularly just not up to posting.

I don't think I could ever leave you lovely ladies

Yes would love to get well and truly fronked with you all

Wouldnt it be fecking awesome if we could really all meet up and get giggly drunk together? One day ladies, one day..,,

Bjork and the egg dress!

Suddenly I have an image of this www.fashionink.co.za/whats-bjork-wearing-these-days/#

Thanks lovelies just pouring the now.

4ever I agree, that's one mighty egg you're laying there

Peels away glass of vodka from moon, not cos I'm greedy....but you never know what's going on inside your tummy! It could still be your month!
Necks vodka and stumbles from the greenhouse.......

rumours we're all here for you - I have no idea whatsoever I'm afraid, but you obviously know your boys, and to be honest whatever anyone else thinks is redundant unless they've been through the same as you, I guess they're trying to be helpful but failing miserably! As long as you can work out how to manage everything and above all be happy, then your job is done. Hope you get some help. Big hug.

4ever sorry to hear of your ovulation pains, must be hatching a massive egg eh I'm on day 23, trying not to symptom spot..... We usually dtd every other day, but completely with you on the luck thing, first time round we obviously had no clue what we were doing, and 2nd time was luck as I didnt know what my cycle was doing as it was only 2 cycles after last mc. I think now we're painfully aware of every twinge it takes away that luck element as you try so hard to make it happen. About the pains - I thought it was as you were ovulating, but I'm not sure on that, just get to it if its hurting is all I say!

waves to barbie and helps herself to vodka

I'll join you, make mine a double....shhh dont tell dh, I'm meant to be on a another diet. Just been for a run, but it's bloody hot! I need a drink to quench my thirst!

How are thr pains 4ever?

Vodka will be great thankyou

Thanks 4ever

I bought some camomile tea yesterday to help calm and sooth me, not sure it's strong enough

I'm ok just pondering over it all. They did say that both boys are happy which is great.
I've spent all afternoon in the garden eating mini milks, an I've just put up a tent for them.
My stress levels have been sky high for a while now and this would explain a lot. I'm a head down get on with it type of girl, but I'm ready for some help now, which I should e getting via advice from the paed.

barbie theres not much anyone can say really, we don't know anything for sure yet anyway. We're not saying anything to anyone in rl because the 'theres nothing wrong with him' comments don't help. They mean well, but makes me feel they don't belive or doubt us. I still get them now with ds1.

Rumours not too sure what to say, here if you need to talk. Both your boys sound ace, I hope you are ok my lovely x

Had the speech and language appointment today. I nearly cancelled it as he's started to say some more words, but I didn't, then I thought they would say all is well and normal, but he's being referred to a paediatrician.
I thought his naughtiness was normal. I don't know what normal '2' is as ds1 was different, now it seems ds2 is another different.
Maybe he's not naughty after all....
I'm rambling, just trying to get my thoughts in order. Can't quite believe we may be starting this process all over again.
What will be will be and all that.
