Curly will try to reply to your email on my way to the airport !

SabsFabulous · 17/02/2013 18:56

Moon Smile for getting a scan date. We'll have everything crossed for you and I'll be lurking on the day even though I'll be at work Grin

Cupcake don't worry, you didn't offend me. You're so sweet for worrying about it. 4ever is due in July, so the same month as the royal baby, whereas I'm hoping I don't go that overdue to stretch into July. Thanks for your opinion, I'll definitely search the threads to see what they people have done in similar situations.

Right must dash, I've been out all day and really need to finish packing!

Hope everyone had good weekends

cupcakefairy · 17/02/2013 15:01

moon that's amazing you have a date...it may seem like ages but it's not..less than a month Grin I'm so excited for you.

sabs I am SO sorry...when I said about 4ever's preg buddy being the Duchess of Cambridge I completely forgot you were her preg buddy too!! That was one of those wake in the night and realise you've probably offended someone moments... I'm so sorry!
Really feel for you with your decisions re c section or vbac. I'm going to have sort of the same dilemma if/when I have another.. I've had such significant perineal damage with both my boys and they were both so big I'll prob have to have a section but of course it comes with its own risks...sigh
Hopefully for you things will become clearer over time, with what baby's size is etc. Definitely worth a good search on mn for topics that have been previously posted about it?

curly so lovely to see you back...I did :) at the rumours question...you really have been away a while! Grin

blue and barbie I'd definitely be envious of both you gorgeous ladies on the school run Grin such impeccable taste. Speaking of which, blue I'm putting ds2 in those beautiful brown cord dungarees as often as possible at the moment as he's about to burst out of them and I love them so much! They lasted ds1 til 1 year but this one is just a monster!! Grin

Right gotta dash...the boy in question is crying!

Neeko · 16/02/2013 20:27

Yay to a scan date Moon. Here's my hand to hold. Enjoy all that sleep now because in a few months you'll be needing it![grin ]

littlebellsmum · 16/02/2013 20:13

great news on the scan date moon - a milestone to aim for. but I'm with mls here - I have a good feeling for youWink

moonmrs · 16/02/2013 13:20

Good to have you back curly, you've been missed Smile

Cant stop today but just to say I have my scan date through for 11th March, hand holding at the ready please Smile seems like such a looooong wait, but in a way its good as we have something to focus on now.

I had 14 hours sleep last night Blush I thought I was tired....

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 15/02/2013 22:49

I can't believe this - Sabs too!!!! This is so amazing Grin have I missed anyone else? I'm so sorry Sabs and 4ever, I just did a search on my email and found both of your mails, which I never saw. I have no idea what happened but I can't believe I missed them, especially as both of you told me the wonderful news!!! I will reply to them now even if it is nearly 2 months later Blush

I've had to ask cupcake who Rumours is :) I am so behind on everything. Yes I will catch up eventually. I will I will!!! Rumours, big hugs to you lovely lady. I'm hoping for the best for ds2. It sounds like you are having it really tough, but as always have amazing strength.

Barbie I haven't read beyond the most recent page of this thread so dont have all the details but I just wanted to say that our worlds may revolve around these wonderful kids but looking good is a big part of feeling good. I'm a slummy mummy a lot of the time but I do love those yummy mummy days. Stay just as you are :)

Back tomorrow xxx

MrsKate · 15/02/2013 18:09

Thanks so much girls for your messages even tho i have not posted ive always been lurking in the background GrinGrinGrinGrin

SabsFabulous · 15/02/2013 18:00

Hello ladies,

MsKate fantastic news Grin Grin Grin So happy for you. Hope the next few months fly by for you. Keep us updated if you can.

Moon good to hear (in the best possible way of course!) that you're feeling bleugh, all good signs. It's such a shame that you can't have an early scan, but I agree with the others, your bean doesn't need it!

Curly great to see you back on here, you've been missed! Looking forward to a mammoth post from you, so don't go disappearing again Grin Did you get my email last month?

Buddha Hope you get the appointment really soon. As I texted, I've been thinking about you a lot, hope you're bearing up OK. Sending you big un-MH hugs

Monkey thinking of you too. Hope you're well. Do you have school holidays next week too?

Barbie We've been texting, but hope you're feeling better. Like I (and others have) said, you've had to deal with sooo much the past few years, it's understandable that you're feeling low. I'm always around on WA if you ever need to chat xxx

4ever How are you feeling? When is your next scan and appointment? Saara was in our room until we moved last year and it was the best thing! If space permitted we would have done it earlier. We decorated her room in nice colours with a wall art tree so that she would be really excited, and most people love her room the most when they come over! We keep both our doors open as she does call out for us at night, normally to have a wee, but she knows she's not allowed in our bed as she's a big girl now.

Rumours Good to hear you're feeling better and that you're having appointments for the boys too.

lbm You are not a bad mum! You are such a superwoman with everything that you have going on, I am always in awe of you! Are you going to the Harry Potter studio tour in Watford? I'm finally going next month and I can't wait! Grin Hope DS has a nice birthday. Enjoy half term.

mls Love seeing photos of the kids too, and I agree, they all look so alike Smile

Cupcake Yay at DS2 sleeping for 12 hours straight and for getting your room back. We have to prepare ourselves for sharing our room again but at least we have a bigger room this time and more space. Smile at wanting another one or two more lo's. Depending on how this birth goes, I think we might go for one more too, but again will have a long-ish gap. I did find the first trimester much harder this time around and DH said he's going to remind me about that when I get broody again Grin

I always wonder about mermaid too. I don't see her on FB any more but hope she's doing OK if she happens to be lurking.

Blue I love reading your words of wisdom. I hope the CBT sessions go well. How's DS2's sleeping?

Neeko Hope DD2 is sleeping better. Good to hear your skin has cleared. Hows the 30 day shred going? Are you going to Harry Potter world when you go Florida? (Can you tell that I love HP Grin

louey You've been quiet lately. Hope you're well.

Waves to anyone I've missed.

Barbie Thanks for updating the thread following my appointment last week. All is looking well with baby thankfully. I don't need to decide yet about whether to go for a c-section or VBAC until late in the pregnancy and will have a growth scan at 38 weeks to help me decide. My hospital also hold information sessions about VBAC but because of work I won't be able to attend until I'm 36 pregnant as they only hold it once a month. I'm hoping it's not too late. Forgive me for forgetting but what did the other ladies on here do for subsequent pregnancies following a c-section?

We decided not to find out what we're having, like with Saara, though we were sooo tempted! Saara came along with us to the scan and claimed that that baby wasn't pretty Grin. I think the sibling rivalry might be starting already! She really wants a sister, but we've told her she'll be a big sister whatever the baby is. I've started buying a few gifts for her from the baby so that she feels more involved. She's so used to being the centre of everything, I'm hoping she adjusts well to the baby.

Off on holiday on Monday, can't wait! I'm hoping we get some decent weather as rain is forecast for a couple of the days Sad

4everhopeful · 15/02/2013 14:53

Huge congratulations mrskate! Grin

Big waves to strangercurly! Did email you back but not sure you got it!

Waves to everyone else, busy day, but had to delurk to add my congrats!

littlebellsmum · 15/02/2013 13:41

Hurrah for more weebles bFP's - congrats mrskate It seems such a long time since I was in that position

Lovely to have such a busy thread and so many bfp's and to hear from lovely strangers like MLS and curlywhohas2babies

I am officaially a rubbish mummy - its DS's 8th birthday on Wednesday and I don't have a present for him and haven't booked a party. We are however going to Harry potter world on the day which he doesn't know, which might make up for the rest and I will have found him some presents by then!
olderdc's break up today for half term and I', off with them all week - hurrah

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 15/02/2013 10:19

And MrsKate Grin I am officially bawling now Grin Grin

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 15/02/2013 10:17

Oh my goodness I just heard from lovely cupcake about Moon and I am soo happy, and now even happier because it looks like there are two little miracles going on Grin well done 4ever and Moon - i am just beaming with pride and happiness at the sheer bloody wonderfulness of today. I'll dance with baby steps for you Moon because I know it's very early days and you don't want to presume anything but this is such great news. I'm so sorry for not catching up properly and for being so rubbish but I just want to give everyone a massive hug and I will be back later when the little ones are in bed Grin Grin Grin

cupcakefairy · 15/02/2013 09:44

moon I'm so :( for you that you don't get an early scan after all that heartache. But the signs seem VERY good.. tiredness is definitely good, I could barely keep my eyes open in the first trimester both my successful pregnancies. If I remember right you had bleeding with both your llos didn't you? So I'm sure this little one will be just fine and as curly always said, doesn't need the scan :) won't be long now though.

And congrats mrskate!! Lovely news and a preg buddy for moon. (4ever you have the ultimate preg buddy.. the gorgeous Duchess ;) )

Good luck 4ever with moving summer out, sure she'll be fine! We have now done 4 nights of the boys sharing a room & they've been amazing.. and last night ds2 slept 12 straight hours which he hasn't done since he was about 10 weeks old.. I'm SO happy & proud of him! Dh & I jumping for joy to have our room to ourselves again..we can read in bed!! (bet some of your minds were going elsewhere then, haha!!)
Also, you'll be just fine without the cyclogest..scary to stop all the safety blankets I know but this is for REAL :)..just a mere 4 or so weeks and you reach viable stage!!! Sooo exciting!

neeko in answer to your earlier q, yes we both definitely want at least one more baby (maybe 2, depending on our situation) (and god willing of course) but I'm not sure my body can handle it Confused gonna wait a bit anyway & have a bigger gap if we do.

I was thinking of the lovely mermaid yesterday..does anyone ever her from her now?
Gotta dash, ds1 calling me.. x

MrsKate · 14/02/2013 21:30

Im at the joys of work tonight Hmm
Im approx 5 - 6 weeks not sure due to irregular af

moonmrs · 14/02/2013 21:17

Haha I'm an idiot!

Well mls I hope you enjoyed your meal Grin

MummysLittleSunbeams · 14/02/2013 21:15

Lol moon baby brain YAYYYY!!

moonmrs · 14/02/2013 21:12

Oops so sorry, how on earth did I manage that?! Blush I must be seeing things! Think I must have merged yours and mls's posts somehow!

Neeko · 14/02/2013 21:07

Thanks moon but it's MLS who is having the nice meal. My DH is still working and I'm writing an assessment for my 3rd year. So romantic! Grin Grin

moonmrs · 14/02/2013 20:40

wow congrats mrskate how far along are you?

Buddha if you need to talk about any of the fertility stuff, I don't mind sharing the things we went through. I know how crap it all is. Big hugs.

No neeko we don't really do Valentine's, although we do cards, and today we bought each other the same card! Obviously with husband/wife on each others, but other than that, the same! Did make us chuckle. Enjoy your meal and vino.

MummysLittleSunbeams · 14/02/2013 18:21

Moon I totally understand your caution. I however, have a really good feeling about you this time. Wink

Buddha acupuncture!

4ever I think the way to do it is to make a huge big thing about her going into her 'big girl' room & yes do it sooner rather than later. Soon you will have another man in your bed and you don't want her to be jealous about it!

blue I had no idea you'd had such a crap year & didn't realise you had moved house. (((Hugs))) to you too. I'm going to search for you on Pinterest so I can be a 'follower'!! Grin

{{waves}} to neeko! Wink

Congrats to mrskate

Anyone doing anything special tonight? We are just having a nice meal (at home!) & good bottle of something fizzy (well me really, not him!). Wine

Neeko · 14/02/2013 17:39

Congrats Mrskate

4ever glad the doppler reassured you.

One tiny step at a time moon

big hugs and pats on back to those of you who are actively sorting out life's problems. We'll all get there in the end.

buddha fingers crossed for the appointment. hope you are physically better soon.

MrsKate · 14/02/2013 13:28

Hi girls sorry ive not been around for so long
Congrats to all the BFPs and scans absolutely amazing news bugs hugs to all .

Well i want to share some news of my own i got a BFP of my own after nearly 18 months of ttc again GrinGrinGrin

4everhopeful · 13/02/2013 23:58

Wow ladies, what a day, where to start?

Barbie we all know you never meant to cause offence! Everyone has different opinions, styles, preferences, financial statuses, it would be boring to all conform! That's what make us unique and interesting individual personalities and what moulds our childrens personalities.. Smile Of course we all like to look nice and dress our children beautifully, and each individuals version of beautiful will be different.. Its got to have been really hard for you trying to adapt to different countries and lifestyles, and insecurities and anxieties will of course give you a need to feel accepted, but if I've learnt anything in my 38yrs, its that you can't please all of the people all of the time, and that peoples perceptions of us vary hugely depending on their own circumstances/moods/time of the month ect! Its truly not worth worrying about as your true friends and family are all that really matter, sod anyone else that wants to judge you... Smile

Moon so pleased your booking in went well, totally get you not daring to hope or be presumptuous, I'm still like that now and will continue to be so, for now, we'll just weeble alongside you, 1 day and 1 week at a time, daring to believe bit by bit... Smile So sweet of Mls to have saved her doppler for you.. Smile The lovely rumours donated hers to me, which kept me sane through my pregnancy with Summer! Dh got it out the loft this time round and it had packed up so was straight on Amazon ordering another, couldn't be without it! Confused

Rumours was gonna post and ask when DS2 final diagnosis was? Fantastic you will finally have some answers and closure to this chapter and a beginning to the next.. whatever it contains.. Smile So lovely as Blue says to hear your humour reappearing and a light starting to shine for you again, to be able to feel more chilled and relaxed must help hugely.. How did the melatonin sleep stuff work out for DS 1 ?

Buddha I've been meaning to tx you lovely, great you have the referral rolling now.. Smile Its just a matter of time before the big bags of babydust I keep chucking your way explode all over you and its your time too.. Wink Oooewy to pleurisy though?! Shock Hope you get over it asap!

Mls no, you haven't missed anything, Summer is still in with us, despite having her gorgeous (pink Smile) bedroom which she adores playing in! Tbh its more on our part than hers, as much to do with her being our pfb, as the fact we spent yrs not knowing if we'd ever have her and clinging onto her baby yrs and still pinching ourselves every day she's really here! Smile (almost impossible to comprehend another miracle is/maybe happening! Grin) But of course, we know we have to now be decisive and have a much thought out and detailed plan of action to get her in her own room within the next few wks (after our birthdays!) We know we need to asap so she doesn't feel pushed out to make way for her little bro... Already having huge anxieties about her adapting, especially with pre school starting a few wks after his arrival... Its been just us for so long, I am worrying, but I'm sure she'll be ok... (or so everyone keeps saying!) Hmm On an entirely different note, love crotchet! Summer is currently under a beautiful multi colour one my Dnan made a few yrs ago!

Neeko another one loving your female empowerment chat with your girls! They'll be fine, they have a great role model! I've got all that to come! With you on TKmaxx! Or perhaps some designers at Debenhams cos of the Baker stuff! Wink That's about as Haute couture as I get! Smile

Blue always there with your empathy, kindly words and wisdom Smile Glad you too are seeking help, not good to hold onto that negativity albeit understandable after how all consuming it was for you... Have learnt myself that somethings in life you just have to brush under the carpet/draw a line under/stick a pin in it, for your own sanity and preservation.. You did brilliantly and are by far the better person, don't let their negativity stay in your life when you've made such a fantastic job of standing up to it and banishing it... Smile

All well here, bit of a wobbly start to the week as now finished my cyclogest progesterone pessaries, went from twice to once a day a couple wks back and stopped completely on monday... Bit of a safety blanket pulled from under my feet... Confused Resulted in a few weebly moments like this morning when I has the doppler out at 7am as had hardly slept for worrying Id not been feeling flutters! Confused They're so sporadic, I'm itching to feel full on movement and definite regular kicks of reassurance! Til then thank god for the doppler! Anyway after a crap night of tossing and turning must be a bit mental to be lying here getting numb thumbs doing a mammoth post on my phone! IF Dh wakes up he won't be impressed!
