Emmsy's ladies - 4 years of weebling - still going strong!

You're not a thread killer buddha
I'm :( to see you're thinking negatively...but I know it has to be done in order to protect yourself. Hope dh's tests go ok tomorrow. And sorry about the rl babies - always just such a stark reminder of everything. Glad E's ear problems have been fixed though, enjoy the sleep!

4ever how was Saturday?? Did they confirm the sex?? hope you have a lovely shiny dvd now!

lbm glad bb got to her grandparents' ok. Enjoy the break! I'm planning a night away for dh's 30th in July, will be our first time away just us two since before ds1 was born, can't wait! They'll be with their grandparents and having a whale of a time I'm sure.

monkey!! So lovely, so so lovely to see you back. And yay for a new dog!! That sounds so lovely, bet ds is loving it. So glad you feel in a good state of mind too. How's the weather with you?? More horrible snow here, hate being housebound with the boys!

Right, must dash, Tickety-Tock is almost over

Oops thread killer

On phone app so apologise for limited personals
4ever So sorry I missed a scan normally put a reminder on phone to text. Hope all went well. So cute that S is kissing your tummy
Monkey Lovely to "see you" back I'm glad you felt able to return to the fold
Rumours How are you lovely lady? Good news that gp has helped you and you're feeling better. You know where we are if you need any virtual help x
Louey Welcome back

Sorry for being MIA but been putting my head in the sand for different reasons to 4ever. Two new babies and one about to pop in rl has been hard on me especially as they all started ttc after me DH has his fertility tests weds, once done we'll get a referral to hospital but no doubt nothing will happen. I need to think negatively as I can't face my hopes getting dashed again.

Hope you are all enjoying the snow? E's not keen on the cold, we've had more problems with his ears again Had two lots of antibiotics which finally seem to have done the trick so sleep has resumed

Oh and welcome back monkey lovely to see you - good to see you enjoying your ds. Snuggles with Scoobby doo sounds lovely

4ever - hope the scan went well. I have deliver BB to her grandma and granddads now and they are all very happy . Not sure who was most excited - grandma or granddad! Sure that they will be a little tired by the end of the week.
Am hoping to go sledging tomorrow as the snow is holding - bit wet for snowmen but you never know

Happy weekends all

Oh I didn't mean to forget you Neeko!! Your itchiness sounds horrendous, glad it's calming down now. Felt itchy just reading/thinking about it, it must've been horrible Hope all is good with you and your gorgeous girls xxx

Hello everyone

Happy New Year!! I couldn't stay away for too long, and hope that by namechanging slightly my luck will change too

First of all 4ever WOW!!!!!!! I am SO thrilled for you What amazing news, and I think it'll be a boy too! Just wonderful!

Rumours so sorry that things have been so tough for you, but my goodness me I think you've been amazing to keep your head above water with everything going on. I really hope the ad's help. I think you're one incredibly strong lady Lots of love xxx

Buddha I'm with you It's so tough isn't it. I really hope things start looking up for you on the ttc front soon.

Blue have been thinking about you lots recently, how are you doing? The pic of ds2 on FB is just adorable. He looks edible he's so cute!!! They grow up so fast don't they...

Sabs have been thinking about you too - how are you doing? I presume everything is going well - how far along are you now? Have you started telling people yet?

Cupcake and lbm sounds like you're both very busy, hope all the dc's are thriving!

My computer's playing up so I daren't go back a page for fear of losing all that I've written, so forgive me if I'm missing major happenings!!

All fine here, I feel I'm a little bit further forward in accepting our situation (for the time being!) and am just enjoying time with ds. We're both poorly today so have had lovely cuddle time and have downloaded a film to watch after lunch. Oh, and we have a puppy! Little monkey (haha!) called Scooby aka The Scoobster. Loves weeing everywhere and eating his poo. Nice. Hope he grows out of it

Love to all and a big wave to anyone I haven't mentioned. Barbie have been thinking about you lots too, really hope you might still head this way in spring, we'd love to see you! Gorgeous pics on FB btw, you should be a professional photographer!!

Ladies - can someone tell me why on the day that I have booked to take DD2 to her grandparents for a holiday by train, it has decided that it must dump a load of snow on the UK?! The law of sod is at work - so not only do I now have a 2 yr old and a 4 hour train trip to manage, I also have potentially long delays, assume I manage to leave the snowbound south.

And I don't get to go sledging cos by the time I get back on Saturday night/ sunday morning, it will probably all have gone!!

Happy weekends all - enjoy the snow if you have it

4ever and cupcake - wonderwoman I am now. Knackered, I am

Ahh 4ever that's lovely you get to see baby again, brilliant! :) and how cute about Summer being all concerned for you! :) I know, it is hard sending them off to be looked after by someone else but actually ds has been loving it so much it's actually lovely..today I said he was going again tomorrow morning and he was so excited! Plus you'll so appreciate the time with your little one..eeek!

lbm I agree, you are wonder woman...I constantly spend many hours strung together in front of the tv so am quite that it's a rare treat for you!! Hard working lady.

rumours so sorry to hear about what you've been going through :( horrible to suddenly realise you've been feeling that way for a while, but also good to be able to put your finger on why the last few months have been so hard I suppose. 4ever put it perfectly really - you work so hard for your boys, it's massively brave of you to ask for help for yourself and I'm really glad the ads are helping. Onwards and upwards... that's fab about the weight loss too, I'm sure that will help with general feelings of positivity, keep it up! :)

Well we had a tiny dusting of snow today and ds1 was so excited...he looked out of the window this afternoon and said 'where's the snow gone mummy??!' he couldn't believe it had disappeared so quickly we are meant to get a whole lot more tonight so even though I hate the stuff, I'm excited to see his face in the morning :)

well done with the weight loss, rumours and with asking for help, I can't imagine it comes easy to ask or help for you as you are normally fighting for your dc.s

neeko Great to hear the itch is calming down - yes, DH is much calmer and we have a much happier house which is just lovely for everyone

budddhha I too am with the other - I was so confident that it was your month. However, we never have an empty medium pants bench for long and with 4ever having moved up the bus, it must be your turn soon.

4ever Hope you have not landed from the happiness of last Friday - have you told S that she is going to be a big sister yet or are you going to wait? I know we waited ages with our older two, mainly as we were too scared but also, the time it would take for the baby to arrive was just too big for them to grasp. Anyway enjoy growing dc2

Got to go - for the first time since I went back from Christmas, I have finished my work for the night and plan to have an hour in front of the telly whilst I finish a scarf for DD1 Night all

Pound and a half off

Oh and I've joined weight watchers last week, my weigh in is tonight

Crap, posted too soon.

I'm starting therapy soon. As you know there's a lot in my life with the boys but my depression stems from my childhood, and with the pressures I'm facing now it had brought out the depression. I've been on the ad's for 4 weeks now and they are starting to work, I think, I am calmer at least.
The turning point was when I got my degree results I wasn't excited and happy, I really wanted to be but I couldn't muster the enthusiasm, I wasn't disappointed either. I then realised I had been like this for ages, unable to show emotion, apart from anger. So another chapter begins, and I will come out the other end.

As for ds2 we are waiting for his next paed appt, it should be this month.

Hiya lovelies

buddha how're you doing? Sorry AF arrived

4ever and sabs how're you both doing? Have you bumps yet?

Waves to everyone

I've not heard anything about the PGDE course yet and I've put the job hunting on hold for now too. I'm on AD's and I'm starting thera

Gah, neeko your post has made me realise I didn't even say anything to our lovely buddha before- I'm so sorry buddha to have ignored you :( and also that stooooopid af arrived. And sorry we all got your hopes up about a Christmas bfp too. Hope you're picking yourself up ok and giving that gorgeous boy of yours massive hugs.

4ever I'm so torn about whether it's blue or pink!! I'm going to vote blue! :)

sabs let us know how you're doing too...have you had meetings about whether you'll have an elcs this time? Hope you're feeling ok about it all.

neeko so glad you're on the mend! What a nasty episode.. My ds is only in playschool 2 mornings a week but he's loving it so far! Was full of it when I picked him up this morning chatting away telling me everything they'd done...so cute. I also get to go to a singing/signing/baby yoga class with ds2 while he's there so that was lovely today to have time with just him :)

Hi to louey! Lovely to see you post! Hope you're ok.

Hello blue - how lovely you got an MN secret santa - couldn't go to a more deserving lady!

Yes where is our lovely barbie? And rumours I'm curious about your course too, what's the latest?

Right, gotta dash...Grey's Anatomy waiting to be watched

Oh and I vote for a blue one too 4ever. Loving that you are having a wee secret smile every time one of us posts a guess!

Hi all. The itch is finally on it' way out after a miserable 3 weeks so I can have my fingers free from scratching to post again!

Moon If you''re still lurking I want you to know I've been thinking of you lots. I hope things are a little brighter for you.

Buddha also sending you a huge hug. I really had believed this would be your month and I'm gutted for you. I'm hoping hard for this month for you.

Rumours Sorry. Feel like I've kind of abandoned you during the past few weeks. Hope all is well and that being back in the routine is helping with your boys. Did you get anything sorted about your course?

4ever I'm still for you. So surprised to hear that they could be fairly certain of the sex that early. Scans are so amazing. Hope you've got the big pants looked out. It will only be a few short weeks until you'll be able to feel those lovely secret flutters and waves.[exciting emoticon] Even my mum is rooting for you!

Sabs Hope all is well with you. You must have a lovely wee bump by now.

Blue I hope DS2 settled in well to playgroup and you're relaxing a bit after a hectic festive season. It's only two weeks until I register DD2 for august. She's absolutely desperate to go and more than ready. I'm sure she'll skip in the door when the time comes.
The spray-cream was all used up in a day and my cm gave me some amazing stuff which i asked the doctor to prescribe but they prescribed me something rubbish instead. CM came to the rescue and finally on the mend. Docs think it was viral exaccerbated (sp?) by
stress. I had two lovely chill out days on WEd and thurs whilst DD2 was with the CM, though they did include porridge baths - Yuk!
Maybe we can meet up again after the Feb holiday?

Cupcake enjoy the time when DS1 goes to ante-pre-school. DD2 doesn't start until August due to the cut off dates here but she'll be in ante-pre 5 mornings or 5 afternoons by the time I go back to work and with the CM or a Gran the rest of the time. I'm really lucky in that i have the school holidays off to be with them both.

LBM How was your time with just the older 2? Your Christmas sounded just lovely. Hope your DH is still managing to be chilled.

Louey Lovely to see you back. Hope all three of your lovely boys are behaving.

Barbie How are you? when is the next big move?

Hello to those I've missed.

Doh! I mis-read your post in all the excitement 4ever I thought the her you were referring to was DD2 but it was the sonographer . Ooh now I'm thinking a boy, a wee Teddy bear of a boy

Hey louey how are your gorgeous boys?

Wooohoooo!!!!! 4ever's having a baybee

I have been lurking for absolutely ages but I haven't posted cos I was worried about jinxing things. I know that sounds mad but I've posted before and then it has all gone wrong. So I'm really sorry for my prolonged absence but I am just so so pleased for you.

[I'm betting on a boy btw]

I can't promise to post lots as things are mad but when I get a chance I will try and do a proper catch up.

Big hugs and waves to all the other lovely emmsys xxxx

so so pleased for you 4ever
