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

moon damn & bugger at tew but yay to all that champers you'll be able to quaff on your wedding day. I'd definitely go to your gp to get that salty taste thing checked out.

neeko yes I'm still here, how about you cupcake?

Nothing to report today, no exciting twinges or anything. I bought some clary sage oil & boy does it stink! I had my pre-labour highlights in my hair, I wanted to have a pedi but ran out of time. I'm going to book one for thurs, I'm so convinced things are going to start for me on fri!!

impatient even

Thank you girls :) I am sad obviously, but cant help thinking that maybe its meant to be this way. At least I wont be worrying about miscarrying on my wedding day. And maybe this lo wants a married mummy and daddy. In a day or 2 I'll have bounced back again and will be stupidly excited about our big day :)

No baby news yet??

Moon Sorry to hear that AF is here but you are clearly destined or lots of honeymoon sex! I know it still hurts to have it, but try to concentrate on three weeks time when Df will be DH

Cupcake and MLS Anything??

Barbie Are you there yet?

moon so sorry evil witch flew in :( but massive upside being able to drink at your own wedding! You'd have to tell everyone why you weren't if not. Come on honeymoon baby!!

Oh but the salty taste is still there

Af turned up this morning :( funny how when you still expect it, it knocks you sideways a bit. I think I'm most upset that we're a third of the way through the treatment and nothing. But on the plus side I can get drunk at my own wedding

moon I used to do tests every day from around 8dpo whether I thought I might be pregnant or not so you are most certainly not silly for doing that!! I just know that a bfp is around the corner for you so please try & keep faith.

I'm up with bloody heartburn AGAIN, it will be interesting to see if this is a hairy one what with the amount of nights I'm waking up in pain.

I checked up on the Clomid and I couldnt find anything about salty side effects. Also googled saltiness as a pregnancy symptom and its not very common. (I never had it with my 2 lost lo's). As for af, I always get back ache a week before, sore boobs, cramps and I've had them for nearly a week now, so she should be due any day. Plus I'm tired and starving which is always a sign she's imminent. I'm keeping my head in the sand after last month, I felt like an idiot as I was convinced I was pregnant and did so many tests

How do you know af is imminent? Could the saltiness be a side effect of the clomid?

Ohhh I thought being as you were both quiet it meant the little ones were on their way!

Yes mls its driving me mad, everything I eat tastes salty, I'm constantly brushing my teeth/using mouthwash/chewing gum none of which make a difference! Af is definitely on her way though so I dont think its a pregnancy symptom

I'm still here & pregnant too!!

Had some really strong braxtons this evening though.

cupcake tip of the day, get some clary sage oil. My yoga teacher was telling me about it today. You rub it on your bump when in labour & it really brings on the contractions, v potent stuff appaz. I think they sell it in Boots, will investigate tomorrow.

moon have you still got that salty taste?? Any other pregnancy/af symptoms??

Still here, still pregnant!
Just been for 45 min walk around the neighbourhood.. tonight could be the night?! (unlikely)

cupcake, mls

V quick message - thank all for the messages - we had quite a normal day but it was lovely iyswim as it was my day with her. At the music class, they sang happy birthday to her and another little girl and neither had a scooby as to what was going on. She opened her present mountain ( almost without excecption cast off's from her siblings !) at about 5pm, got postman pats van but was guuted it wasn't the greedale rocket!! Liked her cake - we found her with her face in it trying to eat the strawberries - sadly were laughing too much to get the camera. I struggle to believe how big she is - held her in a baby cuddle in the mirror before I put her down tonight and she's certainly no baby - but she will always be BabyBelle to me :)
Thanks all - will post more soon. We too are away in early June and I need to do the tescos shop - also am thinking that the summer stuff may never get worn. Had a really cute boden dress for her to wear for her birthday today however she wore it with leggings rather than the matching pants!

Happy birthday to Babybell Hope you've had a real diva day

Moon Can't believe it's only 3 weeks til your wedding. That's so exciting! I'm actually a bit jealous as I remember that exciting time with real fondness. I hope we'll get to see a picture of the blushing bride.
I really hope the salty taste is a pregnancy symptom!

Cupcake Mucous plug is a really good sign. I have a hunch that you'll have that baby by Sunday night.

MLS twinges?! Exciting!

4ever and blue Totally with you on the holiday packing. We go at the beginning of July and I have a horrible feeling that the girls' summer dresses won't be featuring.

4ever Meant to say I was sorry to hear about your nephew. How is he now?

Off to collapse on the couch. Have a good weekend everyone.

Oops I forgot to say happy birthday to babybelle

Yes mls I reckon if no joy this month then sperminating could be well timed for the wedding night af due this weekend....

Thanks girls for joining in my wedding excitement with me, I am a bit atm! I'm just a bit impatient now as we're all organised.

Can anyone shed any light on a weird problem I have? Since yesterday my mouth tastes of salt. My lips, my saliva, all of it. When I eat anything it tastes of salt. When I lick my lips I taste salt. I dont use salt in cooking and rarely eat processed stuff. I drink loads of water so shouldnt be dehydrated. I googled but scared myself. Is it a hormonal thing? I made df laugh, I got in from work and demanded that he kiss me, and then again for a proper one lol and I said do I taste ok, not salty? He looked at me like

Aw vjay bless, bet he'll be really proud when his teachers see it.

blue due date was Wednesday, and last Wednesday by scan dates..hmph.

Thanks blue. He took the magazine into school today, most kids would be jumping at the chance to show their teachers and friends, but I had to 'encourage' him to do it

Happy Birthday babybelle Hope you have a fabulous day xx

Vjay after much faffing in WH Smith I found 'Trail' and flicked through til I happened upon Cjay's photo I've stood at that peak but got there via cable car not on foot! Well done again, its a great photo too xx

Moon eek! three weeks til your big day, I've known a few brides who were knocked up by their wedding day so fingers crossed [smle]

4ever I'm so with you on the what to pack to holiday in this country scenario. We regularly go to the caravan at weekends and you can plan what to wearish but we're due to go back for the first fortnight in Julyand I'll basically have to pack flip flops - wellies and EVERYTHING in between - harrumph! Majorca last year = maxi dresses and sandels

cupcake - good news re: mucus plug! Maybe your sweep will crank things up a gear? Remind me is today your due date?

MLS - glad the pox has peaked, your DD2 looked a wee soul from your pics, really concentrated on her face .

Neeko - great to hear you savouring quality Mummy and H time and that her sleeping is better . Can you believe our DC1s have almost finished theuir first year at school ? Yay! to marking being over too x

TFI Friday, 6 hours til wine o'clock and Greys/Smash double bill

Morning ladies & happy birthday to little jojo! Hope she has a lovely day. 4ever I think I'd have been slightly if I'd known I'd be doing it again 2 years later! Enjoy your hair appointment, am jealous! I'm in desperate need but don't want to book one now will have to wait til after baby.

No sign of anything here..although think I must've lost some mucus plug last night it was a rather dramatic amount (sorry tmi!) So still praying for this weekend! 3rd sweep in the morning.. meh.

Happy Friday all!

moon I didn't realise your wedding was so close, how exciting

mls how are you now, has the heartburn eased?

cupcake I'm thinking positive pushing vibes ~~~

Happy birthday notsobabybell 2 today have a fun filled day xxx
