About time I start a thread! Pom poms still shaking, bumps growing, babies and toddlers talk a plenty, while the support, laughs, hand holds and weebling continues...

lurking in a lurkety lurk type fashion, crouched down behind LBM and Buddha (which makes it easier to cover Buddha in babydust...)

evening ladies - me too jealous at missing Friday - like you, 4ever I can't imagine bb staying still for 5 minutes. She currently wans to walk every where and all the time! Unless Postman pat is on the telly, that is!

buddha More fingers crossed here for you - hope the little man is better soon

cupcake oww for the sciatica. That takes me back to when I was pregnant with jo and by this stage could hardly walk... No advice but lots of sympathy.

barbie How are you coping with the cold - I seem to be freezing all the time at the moment and you must be completly frozen. Hopefully can come and shiver with you before you have to move onto Paris, you international jet setter you!!

blue I'm with you on the spreadsheets etc. I spent Friday night doing some e training and could only manage it with large amounts of gin. So much gin that I can't actually remember which training course I actually finished and had to redo one today Blush - it is indeed living the dream!!

bluesatinsash · 16/04/2012 15:32

Hi guys,

Working from home this afternoon...

Barbie - is Henry still suffering badly with reflux? Hope you get some answers at the Portland x

4ever thanks for scooter link and I will be taping Cbeebies in anticipation of Summer's birthday card appearing Grin. Glad the meet up went well, I know how Confused it can be when you're up for a big blether (chin wag) but your lo has other ideas.. I avoided soft play for years as I was the one in the ball pit whilst my friends were all sipping coffee Envy

Was thinking about you on Friday too xx

Buddha - poor Ewan Sad He may have strained something. Its happened to both of mine but they were able to weight bear not long after so I would go and get it checked out.. I have ordered a huge dump of babydust over you this week combined with a keep TEW away dance.. fingerscrossed.com...

Not much to report from blue towers, we're looking after my nieces' gerbils - Peggy and Holly - and its been nice to have some female solidarity in the house Grin. Also starting to get a wee pang for a puppy but shall wait until B is out of nappies actually scratch that will wait until he is out of primary school!

Better get back to my spreadsheets - living the dream me!

barbie1 · 16/04/2012 11:49

Im here, dh in Paris for 2 days and I'm on own for a while (yikes!)

I have an appointment with the Portland hospital this eve as Henry is no better. I will hopefully have a quiet evening and come back to do personals and update on Paris/ the meet up and everything else that I've been slack on of late x

4everhopeful · 16/04/2012 11:35

Hey Buddha! Poor little E, LOL at princess Grin but not so good the poor sausage cant walk! Hope he's on the mend soon! Fingers x'd for a BFP nx week for you, Im still head in sand about it all really, though timing would be awful if it happened this cycle as really want to enjoy Summers birthday and our hols in a few weeks without any worries! Confused

MLS and Cupcake ouchey to bad backs, but not long at all for either of you now!

Well we had a lovely meeting, so great to finally meet Barbie and her oh so cute Dolly and Henry, Grin brilliant to see Curlyalacuteneatbump and her gorgeous Curlygirl and of course lovely Sabs and her beautiful Saara! Was all a bit manic (on my part) with whirlwind Summer who didnt want to stay still, and was entertained by the kidzone for all of about 20mins before she wanted to go off exploring, my fearless little high spirited adventurer, so I spent most of my time chasing her, and not as much as Id of liked having a good old chinwag! However still very lovely, as always! Grin

Very quiet on here lately Hmm

Love to all, must go and rescue my poor girl from cbeebies, I've been priniting off INTG pics to make a birthday card to send to cbeebies as she loooves it when they read them out so I'm gonna get creative and do my best for her! Hmm Grin

Barbie Sorry to hear things have been so awful Sad hope the meet up made up for it a little bit Smile
Mls & cupcake ouch for bad backs
Mls we're off to the IOW end of next month would you recommend blackgang chine? Did you go to robin hill as well?
4ever Love the scooter!

E's not well at the moment he's got a sore tummy, temp and rash plus he hurt his leg Saturday and still won't walk on it. Sounds bad doesn't it but I know gp will say he's got a virus and last time he hurt his leg I took him to drop in clinic and all was fine but I'm must admit he's been pretty consistent about not walking will crawl or demand to be carried hence he's been called princess all wkend Wink so off to clinic again today before he calls social services! Grin
Af due Friday so trying not to obsessively symptom spot
Got to go his majesty is calling Wink

cupcakefairy · 13/04/2012 22:49

Hope you had lovely day ladies.. am mega jel! Would have loved to be there, and what a gorgeous day for it too. barbie sorry things are hard at the mo but hope you're all slowly adjusting.

mls I too have horrendous lower back pain/sciatica it really is the pits! Could barely walk the other day let alone get on the floor to play cars and 'bikerbikes' with ds :( not long now...! We have another wk of school hols here in Wales, hate them as all playgroups etc off, I hate not having a schedule! You any further along with names?

lbm yep, hear you on the snack cupboard!! Ds seems to have super sonic hearing when it comes to a biscuit jar being opened, in the next room, with other background noise Grin

Thoughts to 4ever & sabs with anniversaries today x x x

MummysLittleSunbeams · 13/04/2012 21:35

Hope you enjoyed your meet-up ladies. Sorry I couldn't come, I had my 34 week mw appt today, all is well apparently. Sorry this is short & sweet, I'm struggling atm with zero energy & mega lower back pain plus having my two monkeys with no pre-school for the last couple of weeks has left me feeling totally Confused

barbie1 · 13/04/2012 12:28

Off to the Tate...map in hand, smarties at hand to bride dolly to sit in pram, sunglasses on, and I'm off!

Wishes it could be more of us there today, however I'm sure one day we can arrange a mammouth get together.

Sorry for lack of post, it's very hard being here...endless dramas but hopefully we have turned the corner and things are settling.

If I can find the camera I will take it and promise to pm the pictures to you all

VJayazzle · 13/04/2012 08:50

Enjoy the meetup lucky ladies Smile

BuddhaBelly · 13/04/2012 07:19

Just a quickie to say imbthinking if blue and 4ever and your anniversaries today

Have a fab meet up ladies very Envy

littlebellsmum · 11/04/2012 19:56

4ever oh, what a clever little scooter - looks fab. I was planning on a micro scooter next year but I might be converted!! However DH is going a bit mad with the garage full of bikes, scooters, cars , trampolines we already have in the garage and I'm aiming for a likeabike for tiddler next, so might have to wait on the scooter!!
And yes, you are so lucky that S eats everything - BB is turning out to be the worst eater of my three, primarily as she won't eat what the others eat but will happily eat the contents of the snack cupboard. On Friday morning, I wasn't quick enough with breakfast and so, she started decanting the contents of the cupboard onto my bed and smiled her most cute smile untill I said yes to a fruit sachet or 'zinger!!

cupcake thanks for the reassurance, yes I know it's a phase and the best thing is not to react but it's so annoying! Already realised that she has to eat earlier than the rest of us at weekends and so has seperate meals as if I don't the constant asking and crying for snacks drives you mad!!

Yummy - tea has just cooked. Night all - speak soon

4everhopeful · 11/04/2012 15:38

Doh finger slippage! Of course Mls will soon be a family of 5!

4everhopeful · 11/04/2012 09:04

Hello ladies, keep meaning to post.. Blush Hope you all had a lovely easter chocfest?! Grin

Moon Im Grin here as well at sperminate! Everything x'd and tons of babydust coming your way!

Cupcake I'm sure you're bound to worry but you will at least have a few hrs from first contractions to delivery so I'm sure you'll get sorted! As for J eating, our philosophy is if Summer eats at least one main meal thats ok, and they'll eat if they are hungry, although I realise Im very lucky that she is a little gannet that wolfs down her food and eats pretty much everything, roast being her favourite!

Neeko how many eggs left now?! Grin We gave up cake and beer so had it in abundance on sun Hope you are enjoying your hols, or are youback now? Just realised you maybe...

MLS hope your hols improved too! Not long for you now til you are a family of 4

Sabs belated birthday greetings to you! Cant wait til friday!!!

Blue Glad you had a lovely hols! Im with you on babying Summer, still has her nighttime bot bot and in our room too, in no hurry for her to be growing up, despite the fact she looks like a 3yr old! Hmm The scoooter we have is THIS

Buddha sorry af showed up again the witch, a nice 2013 spring babe for you will be lovely though! Wink

Louey did you mention you might make the meet up? Let us know wont you? We can pass on the details!

LBM real shame you cant make the meet up.. Curly and Barbie so looking forward to getting our girls together!!! Grin

Wierdly, like Blue, on Friday, that will actually be the anniversary of my 1st ever edd too, 13th April 2008, my little honeymoon baby, all seemed so perfect, but wasnt to be, so poignant that we'll be having a meet that day, very nice indeed. Obviously like us all, mixed feelings, as without all my lost LO's there would be no Summer, and that, I would not change for the world, my gorgeous miracle girl! Grin

Just realised I forgot to say hi to lovely moon..thanks for updating us, keeping everything crossed for you! Glad you haven't had too many bad side effects. Lol at sperminate Grin glad he's taking the role seriously ;)

cupcakefairy · 09/04/2012 22:51

Quick one to say hi to barbie and so glad you've made it safely to this side :)

Hi lbm thanks for reassurance (and everyone else) dh & I have made a proper PLAN tonight about going into hospital so feel much better about it. But yes in an ideal world baby would arrive at a very convenient time when dh is here & has enough time to go & collect sil.. we'll see!!
Btw ds is not a good eater either.. would eat endless sandwiches/crackers/finger food but rejects most hot meals.. sooo frustrating but most friends with babies same age have the same problem so trying not to stress too much about it though it is so annoying when they just point blank refuse food!

Enjoy your weeks ladies, and the meetup.. v jealous! X
