Emmsy's in weeble land....Where weeble's wobble but don't fall down!

moon you take your time and drop in and out of here whenever you feel the need, sending you a BIG hug

lion I couldn't wait to get on here today to see if my lo one had his cyber cousin yet, but no, you lo is going keep us waiting

barbie lol at the barney, so sorry about that

blue can't believe you're 6 months almost, where has the time gone, in fact all of you, the bigpanters list just keeps growing!!!

neeko you join the bigpanters when you are good and ready

Alex has been weighed this morning and he is now 10lbs 11.5oz, he has put on a whole pound in a week , I must be making some ace milk here . He seems to be starting to settle into some sort of routine too, he feeds like mad all morning, then has a long sleep about now (hence me being on here ), then feeds like mad again from late afternoon through to the evening, then sleeps again from about 10 pm wakes for a snack in the early hours then sleeps til morning. I've probably jinxed it now .

sorry forgot to say to Moon Take all the time you need. No time away will make you be away too long to be able to come back IYSWIM. Thinking of you and wishing you health and happiness.

Lion and Iggy thanks for allowing me to hide Pah to lion's baby for winding us up! Come on down, the price time is right ripe!

morning all

Still v. happy about 4ever and her exciting news!

cupcake glad you can eat a bit now!

mermaid am still havering on job... may pull out of interview - or may go along! How are you and your nail filing etc?

neeko keep that chicken suit on then

moon am so with you on that one, take time away, it helps - but my last break has really helped - am feeling more chilled now...

barbie you are very silly

lion and sabs exciting!!

mm must be lovely to hear that hb

big waves to the rest of you! And much love to the cyber nephew!

So - do you all think we should have 'comando' section for those of us not wearing pants...

Well, I'm still here, things tailed off yesterday evening and I had a reasonably comfortable night so it looks like Fidget is going to take his/her merry time . This pre-labour phase is a real head-bind! Sabs, how are you getting on - any signs?

BlueMoon, sorry to hear things are not great at the moment, so sending you a big cyber-hug. I realise that a thread like ours may not be the most comfortable place for you, but I hope you don't leave us entirely because we are all thinking of you.

Neeko just you wear that chicken suit for as long as it fits!

Morning all.
Well done brave cupcake for updating the list. Nice to see Mermaid back on there, but we need to add LBM too.

Gracie if you're lurking, fab news on your scan. Hope your friend is doing ok. I'm sure having as good a friend as you helps.

The Barney/Barbie moment really made me laugh

4ever I told 4 RL people your news Hop[e your mum and MIL were pleased - though there's actually no reason why they wouldn't be.

Does anyone mind if I stay in the communal chicken suit until my 16 week check, 2 weeks today? I should hear the baby's HB then...

Yea well done Blue I was just gonna do the same for our lovley mermaid!!!!!!! In answer to cupcake I did the edd calculator & its 3rd June!! Just as well, DH has been asked to be best man at BF wedding on 15th May! DH & I will be doing that tonight, home in our little bubble just the 2 3 of us!

Oh girls I was fighting tears reading through all your lovely messages again from yesterday HOnestly your reactions mean the world to me & make me feel all warm inside! I showed DH via my pho & he was beaming.. We told our mums, mine was happy & a bit nervous but trying to hide it, MIL had look for total fear & head in hands I know why these reactions happen, nothing I havent felt myself but did feel a little sad that the 'normal' reaction to 'im pregnant' is something I'll never really get cos of all the mc... Obviously both are thrilled, but scared to be to happy, spose we do all understand that.. Thats why you girls lovely words & tx mean so much.. I felt a bit down & ratty last night, then woke up worrying this morning that being moody isnt healthy & felt twinges in my right ovary which Im hoping is prog release?!? Also dont feel v sick or dizzy today Let the worrying hand holding commence!

Just wanna say to Bluemoon that I was feeling exactly the same the last few months, like I was left behind & its not nice, I was laying in bed on sun wondering when I should look into IVF or adoption as its been 9 cycles to get here, so please hang in there & dont be hard on yourself sweetie xx

Gracie we miss you & im so glad you had a good scan xx

Mermaid you most def are not invisible! I felt to update the list & add a pantless & carefree section, think it was prob seen as a way of removing pressure as you'd removed your pants! Must say tho, not knowing what day of my cycle I was on this month obviously helped so dont knock it! Thank you for the lovely messages & bubble wrap hon... Im wrapped head to toe xx

LOL barbie - The image of that Barney popped into my head too and I did think about posting a link .

I'm with your Mum on prams, didn't allow DS's one to enter the house until I was 37 weeks pg, even then felt a bit counting my chickens....

4ever - hope you and your lovely DH spent last night just sitting hugging each other and staring at your tummy . I keep wellng up thinking about you .

MM lovely to hear your appointment went well and you heard your LO hb - I'm thinking a boy for you ? Was that your 28 week check-up? I've got mine a week today and praying everything is OK. I'm getting kicked to shreds so that is reassuring...

mermaid - I have reinstated you on the list, how would we ever let you slip away?!!

graciedisappeared - great to hear your 20-week scan went well. The even bigger pants are even comfier .

moon - taking a break can be good for the soul/sanity. We're all rooting for you x

Right, like mermaid I have heaps of work to do and better get my pencil sharpenend.

Have been a bit ruthless and removed becks and scorpio, they can reinstate if they come back... Scorpio is firmly entrenced on ante-natal so I doubt it

right ths has to be quick and fairly short cos I have so much work coming in that I cant comeback all day -

4ever wow go easily and gently, do as dh tells you. It was just a question of your body being ready, mother nature sometimes just likes taking her time Hope both your mums are ok too.

moon that leads me nicely onto you lovely lady. I know how you feel about being left behind. Even though I have tried to make the choice of 'not trying' it still hurts every month. At least you are still on the list I am invisible it seems
I really do think when your body is ready it will happen honey, 4ever is testament to that. Thinking of you heaps.

mm missed you yesterday but a big huge fantastic for such fab news on your jumping bean. Really glad you are all ok.

gracie I know you have had a lot on your plate and hope that your friend is as ok as he can possibly be. Fab scan news

love to a returning jools all happy from her hols
barbie enjoy your mum staying - yes the pram one thats a biggy amongst my family

lbm yep you have to relax the 4ever way girl

iggy big wave, what have you decided about the job? have you gone for the interview yet?

hoping sending you out a big sandy hug and some shells for your craft room - hope you are ok lovely.x

neeko curly cupcake hope you are all blooming away.

especially lion and sabs drumming fingers we are waiting.xxx

think i'm gonna take another little break from mn. no offence to anyone, and i really am over the moon for 4ever but i feel like im being left behind, and i have enough to deal with in rl atm. sorry if this sounds selfish, i feel horrible for saying it, but i need another reality check or something cuz i cant go on like i am. take care of each other xx

what scan for grace - what have I missed? Has she had her 20 week?

oh and congrats to gracie on her scan XXX

OMG ive just got in from work i am soooooooooo happy 4ever congrats

4ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic news so pleased for you ! You are a great advert for relaxing about ttc'ing!!

Aww I told my dh about 4ever's news too he was really chuffed

Yipeeeeeee 4ever as everyone's been saying, we're more excited for you than for anyone, been so smiley today
I even texted my best friend and asked her to pray for you cos she's a very good prayer so glad Portland are being great and that's all underway already.

Ew, I was making dh's sandwich yesterday and literally had to retch into the sink, it was tuna

4ever i have nothing to say except i really am so pleased, it seems justice has been done that you finally get another chance to be a mummy, fingers, legs and toes crossed for a happy healthy bean xx

guilty? daft mare It is fabulous that Portland are all on standby. although quite how they are going to reach you up there on cloud 9 is another matter

Hi ladies,

Still grinning from ear to ear after your news today 4ever, is it beginning to sink in yet.................. Like blue says let the hand holding commence, you have so many hands to choose from.

barbie where would we be without your lovely stories, you always make me smile so much..............although 4ever may have beaten you in that dept just for today.

lion oh sounds like another emmsys graduate on the way, it's so exciting...............sabs you will be next

blue love my fit flops too although don't think they will be out for too much longer....................mm squeezes another few days in before the boots come out.

Big waves to neeko, jools, mermaid and all the rest of you lovely ladies, you know who you all are.

Hospital app went well today, heard the best sound in the world atm, baby's hb. Funny, junior kept kicking the doppler ever time the mw would find the hb, had me smiling and thinking that's my baby, I was so proud nearly brought tear to my eye...........
