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

Cupcake How's the steal the DC's chocolate save the DC's teeth campaign going?

LBM I can just imagine the look on the DC 's faces when they realised you didn't have their eggs.

Rumours Between DD2's birthday and Easter, the sweet stuff I've eaten this long weekend is ridiculous! Must stop creating a cake buffet each time we have a party especially one with guaranteed leftovers

Moon I was coming on to wish Mrskate luck for tomorrow too, so something must have been mentioned about tomorrow. Hope you're ok Mrskate

Moon That's really interesting about the no chocolate thing. Will be waiting to see if 4ever is right.

4ever Think the exhaustion is less to do with your age and more to do with having a near three year old ball of energy to keep up with this time as opposed to flopping on the couch last time. At least that was the major difference for me!
DD2 randomly bit DD1 today and drew blood! [Sad] Totally unlike her and a very difficult one to parent.

4ever everyone else except me thinks I'm having a girl too! And I know I'm behind you, but my tiredness has never seemed to have improved, everyone says by 12 weeks you start to feel better, I'm 16 weeks tomorrow and still exhausted! All worth it though.

cupcake no I haven't felt movements yet, starting to get impatient! Dh maintains he's been able to feel something for the last few weeks, when I'm asleep in bed. I keep thinking maybe I've felt flutters, but then it turns out to be a gurgle or trapped wind [bublush]

Hand holds for mrskate for tomorrow, will be thinking of you lots (is it tomorrow or did I get the wrong day?)

Aww moon no chocolate! Poor you! Although I have to say I do prefer savoury stuff myself so cheese and biscuits sounds lovely!! I was saying to dh while looking at our huge pile of chocolate "I wish we'd just bought loads of kettle chips instead"
And well done you buying maternity clothes!

Hi ladies, happy easter all :)
mls I can't believe the time of it you've had you poor thing being in hospital and still having a poorly dd on holiday :( you don't get much luck with holidays. How is her skin looking now? Hope she's still ok in herself and you can all enjoy the holiday!
I was to read about your dh having the snip! Does it feel strange to know those days of charting and temping and white-coating are well and truly over?? Our resident guru hanging up her babymaking hat :)

neeko very belated happy birthday to your H (sorry!) so glad the cake went well. Show us??

lbm I can't believe you're planning dd2's birthday already! I haven't even started thinking about my two yet (both their birthdays are v close to your dd2's!) I need to get some cake ideas! I love this that I saw recently somewhere

4ever what a horrible thing to have happened- I hadn't heard about it :( so sad to know you met her and your dds played together. It's just unimaginable. I also cried BUCKETS at OBEM this week. The most I've ever cried watching it :( Like neeko said, that moment they were told baby wouldn't survive and you could see the doctor holding back tears, the feeling in my chest was just horrible. Hope you're feeling ok anyway lady and not letting all these distressing things get to you too much. Keep rubbing that belly... are you seeing movements on the outside yet?

sabs how are you doing too lady? Thinking of you.

moon are you feeling any kicks yet?? I think I felt them about 14/15 weeks with ds1...oooh so exciting!!

rumours I too have eaten too much chocolate. The boys have been given so much and we don't really like them having chocolate much so dh and I will just have to eat most of it, what a nightmare eh??

We've had a lovely easter weekend though -ds1 loved his little animal hunt around the garden. And hooray, another day off tomorrow :):)

Its a sad day when you can't join in with Easter eggs. Since being pregnant, I have gone right off sweet stuff, I have always had a sweet tooth and its gone! I shared a little bit of dh's egg but it didn't taste very nice [bushock] My mum came over yesterday, she brought dh an egg and some beer, and me cheese and biscuits lol.

No dress for the wedding yet, am putting it off, but know I need to find something soon. Bought my first maternity top from eBay in the week, all felt a bit strange, I don't want to jinx anything, but I can't keep squeezing into my clothes for much longer now.

Happy easter all - just spent the day at my mums 70th birthday at her twins house with the very extended family. Babybelle was a star, running around in her bunny ears and eating vast amounts of chocolate. Now on way to mil's for a few days in the frozen north.
mls so pleased you made your holiday - poor dd2. And I know what you mean about buttons - ds pushes all his dads buttons and gets such a hard time. Am hoping a few days of r&r will improve relations!

neeko good news on the cake. I'm starting to plan BB's party now and am thinking of the cake!

4ever I had heard about the buggy accident but reading the details had me in tears, that poor poor mother. Hope you've had a lovely easter with your ddddd.

rumours at our age, we shoud know when to stop eating chocolate!

Finally, we have had a bit of a chocolate disaster - come away on holiday and have forgotten the kids easter eggs! Ah well, more chocolate to eat when we get home!

Hope moon is eating all the choclate you can - pregnancy means you can get away with it, have you got a dress for that wedding yet?

And our lovely mrskate keep eating the mini eggs - they don't take the pain away but they do taste nice!

Love to everyone else

[buhmm] I've eaten too much chocolate!!!

[busmile] boing [busmile] boing [busk

Happy Easter!

BUNNY SMILIES! [bugrin]

Happy Easter to everyone, hope you're all enjoying a nice break. May the Easter bunny bring your little ones lots of eggs, and plenty of mini eggs for the grown ups [busmile]

Happy belated birthday to littleneekonumbertwo glad she had a lovely day [busmile]

Happy Easter everyone [busmile]

Sorry for being awol, life just so busy and now training for Race for Life on top of it all.

Quick catch up before we head to the caravan. According to my trusty i-phone its to be sunny in St Andrews all week!

neeko belated and huge happy birthday wishes to H, I'll bet you gave her a day to remember [busmile]

mls what a time you're having with the tiddlers . You always sound so strong but bet you have your moments of crumpled tissues and manic worrying. Glad DS is better, hope DD2's skin gets better and you all enjoy the IOW

4ever nearly 25 weeks now [busmile]. It is such a milestone isn't it? So so to read about the freak accident and your DD's friend. So cruel and random and beyond comprehension. Hope they are getting lots of support which I'm sure they are.

mrskate try and be good to yourself and remember and squeeze DS just that little bit tighter.

moon hope you're doing OK xx

rumours hope you're doing OK too honey xx

to everyone else. Better go and load the car. This family can never be filed under the banner travel lightly [bugrin]

I'm glad she had a good birthday Neeko. I can't believe she's 3, has her behaviour improved? I think her & my dd2 are two peas in a pod. I'm hoping that by the time she's 3 in oct she will have calmed down & stopped deliberately trying to wind me up soooo bloody much! I hate that I'm such a shouty mummy with her but that girl pushes my buttons!

So we got out of hospital this morning & are now in the Isle of Wight after catching a later ferry than planned. Ds is much better but has to have 10 puffs of ventolin every four hours, even through the night. Now our problem is dd2 - I was shocked when I saw her when I came home today as her skin was awful. I'd taken her to the gp on wed with increasing eczema patches & she has a stronger cream to use. This evening she looks like she's covered in hives & the skin on her face is red & patchy. Another holiday of poorly children...... ahh well.

Thanks 4ever. She's had a wonderful day and the cake was a success- Phew!

MLS Hope DS is ok and you're all on holiday now .

Still in hospital! They have wheeled over a camp-bed & dh brought my jim-jams & a few other bits & pieces. Well remembered about my asthma 4ever. Unfortunately I have probably destined my poor children to lifetimes of wheeziness, what with my knackered old lungs. Ah well I'm sure there will be better treatment for this kind of thing when they get older & actually I am thanking my lucky stars. There are some poor kids in this children's unit with far worse things.

Hoping we may be able to catch a later ferry tomorrow.

4ever I saw that about the little girl in Croydon. Horrific. When I saw it in the paper I couldn't believe how close to the road their flat was.

I don't watch obem any more, it might make me broody (too late as dh had the snip 2 weeks ago!) but yes there was a thread on here last night about the episode.

So I'm in hospital with ds, of course I am, we are supposed to be going on holiday tomorrow! I brought him in to a&e at 6 this morning as he'd been having breathing difficulties all night due to a chest infection. He's had a few nebulisers & is sleeping now so fingers crossed we get out later.

4ever I saw both the episode and the news report. Both harrowing enough when you're not involved Really feel for both families. That woman's sob when they said her son's lungs were too small will stay with me a long time.

MLS hope the kids are a bit better today. Enjoy your hols!

Another big squeeze for Mrskate

Popping in with hugs for mrsKate. I feel so sad for you, especially when you said you had to put your mat clothes back in the loft.

I'm super-stressed. Packing to go to IOW on fri. Two sick children on antibiotics - dd2 a bad flare-up of impetigo again, ds an awful chest infection that is making him wheeze & howl in pain. On top of that I can barely bend my fingers with the eczema I have on them. If only we'd get some half decent weather....

Waves to all the lovely ladies.

Haha neeko I also do that.. I actually put nipple cream on the really cracked parts - it works a treat!!

mrsk hope dh is feeling better. :( about putting the clothes away again. Hugs x x x
