Emmsys Weebles - moving to the Greenhouse for spring and summer!

and relax. lovely summer day for the fayre -sold loads of ice cream, Pimms and cake. tiddler did a lovely crazy sand with no help from us. I have a jug of Pimms in the fridge that I just can't drink! sboom - you never know, maybe your body was holding out for a girl!! or maybe mystic lbm should stop predicting what she doesn't know and concentrate on the jug of Pimms. hope you all had some sun today and are having happy weekends

I feel like it's a boy, so if three is a hat trick what would four make it?!

Don't worry re the extra 'c', it's a weird name I was lost for inspiration as usual so it's my favourite one of ds's Skylanders! He's very cute

Anyone watching the Djokovic match? I feel so sorry for Chardy being slaughtered like that!

Sorry shroom I keep spelling your name with a 'c' in it, I don't know why! Must be the German I learn at school creeping in!

schroom we saw 2 sets of 3 magpies right at the beginning too, so I can safely say that theory doesn't work unless the sonographer made a mistake that is which is entirely possible. I have never ever seen 4 which is supposedly for a boy I think. I think because sabs 4ever and I are having a hat trick of boys, you'll be the one to start off the hat trick of girls

I completely agree with you lbm, I wasn't interested in dh coming anywhere near me for a loooong time after ds was born Poor dh thought that was it for ever but says now he fancies me even more after ds. Think it's everything we girls go through to give them their precious babies that makes them realise how special we are

Interesting that you two both think pink for us! I did see two sets of three magpies at the beginning of this pregnancy which for the un-superstitious means girl. But, I find it difficult to believe as in my last three pregnancies I've been carrying boys (ds included). We shall see

Good luck at the fete lbm, hope you have a lovely day for it!

lbm I'm sure you're absolutely right I didn't mean immediately, just more long term. They make me feel really unattractive, but dh doesn't seem bothered by them at all which is good. Hope the fete goes well.

I think schroom is having a pink one too

moon. I know that some of the ladies will disagree, however post baby, DH not fancying you is a really good thing, cost that will be absolutely the last thing on your mind!!
s'boom lovely, lovely news - how you continue to feel rubbish for the next month or so . Take care of you and your dancing girl - I do think it's a pink one

Summer fete tomorrow - all systems go here as I seem to be running a huge amount of stalls as ever!

Ah, well, will be over by tomorrow night, and relax ....

schroom lovely to see you checking in, such lovely news that all is well with your bean, I'm so happy for you. Hope that soon you'll start to feel a better. I think my gtt must be ok, they said if I didn't hear anything in 48 hours then everything was normal. And I do agree with you on the stretch marks, I guess I'm just a little worried about dh still fancying me afterwards I do have a lot and seem to get new ones every day.

Good to see you too rumours hope all is well with your dh and your boys.

Waves to 4ever neeko cloud and lbm and any lurkers.

Hello all!

4ever SO exciting re the show - I so hope things get started for you and that you don't have to go over your due date. Good luck for whenever it happens!!

Neeko Have a wonderful holiday! Please can I have some tips when you get back - we go when I'll be 15 weeks, eek!

Cloud congrats re your house move! I can imagine you must be living in boxland at the moment, but the most important thing is that the move is done, and you have all the time in the world to unpack/sort/paint. Terribly exciting though!

Moon how did your gtt go? I remember that test from ds, urgh! I agree with the other ladies, stretch marks should be worn with pride, in fact you should be proud of every way your body will be different after the pregnancy! My ribs are still higher I reckon and I love it because it was due to ds .

LBM hope things are good with you, and that you're not too busy still. I don't know how you do it with three!

AFM, I am still feeling as sick as a dog - that's a nauseous face btw. Looking at the screen makes it worse so can't be much longer. All fine, spent the day in hospital y'day getting checked out to see if everything's alright with the sickness and I was told that amazingly I am managing to survive perfectly well on chicken sandwiches and diluted sports drinks. I do however have a UTI so they're figuring out whether I need antiB's or not. Have never had one before so was quite surprised but they said it could be making me feel more ill. Feel so awful anyway that I can't tell whether I feel more ill or not!
Had another scan too, at 9+5 and baby was dancing about on the screen and kicking its little legs around Mil and FIL came in too, and were amazed!

Right must go, love to all as always and will try to be back soon xxx

Rumours Gutted bout the pit stop. Want me to leave the key under the mat? Have a fab time

4ever We've got 3 sleeps left so get on with it!

Have a fabby holiday neeks, my dh is off the next two weeks too, not going to Disney though
Thanks for the offer for a pitstop, you'll be with
Mickey though

4ever soooo excited xx

Popping in to see if 4ever is in labour yet?

Just about to have my pre-holiday waxing done. Eek! 4 sleeps to go. Excited

Hope everyone else is ok.

4ever hope this is the beginning and your boy arrives soon!! neeko I'm not jealous at all - have you told the girls yet?

moon I too have no stretch marks but as Cloud said, I@m pretty certain it is genetic and I was just lucky.

Got to go - BB has been waking up most nights for the last week and I'm knackered!

4ever so you think this is the start?! I'm so excited for you! Very jealous you have no stretchmarks, I'm not sure how I have so many and my bump isn't even that big? I've always done the baby oil thing too so maybe I'm just unlucky, but yes like you say, they fade and they're part of your history of becoming a mummy. I read someone somewhere describing them as part of life's tapestry. Thanks neeko and cloud for your recommendations too, will use up the bio oil then may try something else.

cloud how lovely to have your own shiny new home I too hate the whole being surrounded in chaos and boxes with no internet, but its not forever, and soon it will be your perfect home for you and your family.

neeko bet you're all so excited now, a week will fly by!

I have my GTT tomorrow, so I shall be bored silly sitting in a hospital for 3 hours and I will be starving!

Hello ladies we are still surrounded by boxes & will be for a while as have to go away again this weekend for family thing (had one last weekend too) Grr.. hate stuff everywhere but slowly getting there! The house is fab though just can't wait to get it all painted (will have to be gradual due to money!)
Still no internet either, so just on 3g on my phone, bit annoying.. thankfully dh set the tv up on a box for me to watch wimbledon!!

4ever wow only 3 weeks! Amazing! Can't wait to hear your news. well done on all the nesting!

moon fab u have a name, my dh did that too refusing names I suggested initially then coming round to them :) I have tonnes of stretchmarks & tried mama mio & bio oil right from start of pg but didn't work for me.. I think it partly is genetic whether you get them. I will say though that they look a lot worse while you're actually pregnant.. once your tummy shrinks down & they go white/silvery they're not so bad..

neeko have an AMAZING time away! Can't wait to hear about it!

Hello to everyone sorry not to stop..hope sabs and her lovely ds doing well.. and of course still thinking of & praying for shroom, must be 9 weeks now??

Mama mio (At least I think that's what it's called)

Moon Yay to a name! That's exciting. I had some stretch marks but they have mostly faded to silver now. I used bio oil but if I remember rightly some others swore by mama moo. I think someone had a massive reaction the the Palmers stuff too. Slather stuff on as often as possible and treat any marks as badges of honour!

4ever Eek! It's getting close. Taking the kindle fire on hols so hopefully will be able to lurk occasionally.

Hi to everyone else.

We fly a week tomorrow. Yipee!

I just lost a huge post this stupid laptop tries to be too clever and its lost all my sodding post. Not impressed. I don't have time to write it all again!

Anyway in a nutshell I said 4ever you must be so excited to know you only have 3 weeks at the most to wait!

And to neeko that I think we finally have a name, but sorry can't share. Dh now likes one I suggested originally but didn't like then, until he chose a middle name to go with it and suddenly its a nice name now lol.

And to ask some advice on stretchmarks. Did you all get them? I've got loads overnight, guessing my little monkey had a growth spurt! Have been using bio-oil but is there anything better? I know they're just like war wounds and most women have them but would like to minimise them if possible.

Can't remember what else now

Big waves to everyone.

Quick post before it goes!

cloud that's just like me, some days can barely walk, and yes to turning over in bed, its a right performance and so painful! Its just because I've known people who've had sciatica (non pregnancy related though) and they had completely different symptoms, but mine seem to be like yours were. I can cope with it because I know its not forever, but its hard sometimes. Hope all went well with the move, exciting times

to neeko lbm rumours 4ever and schroom and hopes sabs is doing well.

Good luck today Cloud and happy new home!
