Afternoon!

neeko am so so happy to hear your news.

Sorry that TEW got you jools but is good you have plan.

mls Am hoping we get good news from you xxxx

I am after a bit of advice... So - I applied for a new job - had first informal interview today - they said they will be recommending me for formal interview.. ok. So if I go for that job - and get it - then I have a 3 month (not 12 week - 3 month!!!) notice period for my current job - so would prob start in Feb... as interview not till late Oct...

Am rambling - is all a bit hypothetical as haven't actually been offered the new job.. but I'd have to be there a year to get any maternity benefits... So really would have to put ttc on hold for 6 months if got job... I will be 34 in Feb - the job is not really much more money (£900 more a year than I currently get) and is 2 days less holiday a year.. It is a more senior job but in a smaller company...

Now I realise I shouldn't put my life on hold for ttc as could never happen... but then again would seem stupid to put myself through all stress of interview to not want to accept the job is hard one.. What you lot think?

Sorry for selfish post again

mermaidspurse · 17/09/2009 14:42

On nights for the next 4 nights so can anyone text me with the scan news or anyother news as all I can think about on nights is sleep and work! See you on Monday xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

VJay · 17/09/2009 13:53

Fab news neeko .
Praying for good news for mls now, and good luck to you too mrskate for tomorrow

4everhopeful · 17/09/2009 13:14

Mermaid thats def a good step forward & worthy of a few of your gold stars that I snuck in the greenhouse & nicked earlier ready for distribution! Never hand over ds special baby stuff! Even though you're commando at the mo & all that, they need to be kept to embarass him in front of future girlfriends if nothing else!

mermaidspurse · 17/09/2009 12:55

yeah neeko thats great news

Cupcake* that is lucky to see a midwife so early they usually see you approx 9 weeks plus so I really hope she puts you a little at ease.

barbie soon you will be too big to fit in a cupboard

4ever afternoon and well done for going to see bf we have come soooo far. It is lucky that your scrummy dh is not scared of needles.

I just entertained my bf newish girlfriend who is sporting a 6 month bump and I did really well (pat on back.) I was going to offer her some of my special hoarded baby things left over from ds but I am not quite there yet.... but I did think it so we are getting there!

mrskate what time is your scan so I can tune in my special scan wavelength machine

mls Everything which is possible to cross is treble crossed here.xxxxxxxxxx

cupcakefairy · 17/09/2009 12:23

Thanks 4ever yeah it was pretty swift of her as I only gave my name yesterday. But still, 7 weeks feels way too early for me to be seeing a midwife.

Don't have MLS's number, hopefully Neeko might be able to get on. Crossing everything for her.

4everhopeful · 17/09/2009 12:20

Aww cupcake your local healthcare provider sounds fab, never got to speak to a midwife with any of mine so thats really good. Focus on the positive! xxx

So relieved about Neeko! She is waiting to see the midwife & will be back on later!

Right lets shift this positive karma to MLS & send prayers & positivity for 2.30pm... I mailed her, dont have her number, has anyone arranged to pass on news for her? Im gonna be a wreck waiting to hear...

cupcakefairy · 17/09/2009 12:19

Yay Thanks 4ever

4everhopeful · 17/09/2009 12:16

All good with Neeko and bean!!!!!! Just heard from her! PHEW PHEW PHEW!

cupcakefairy · 17/09/2009 12:10

Just lurking for news of Neeko...going out in a bit so hope they don't keep her waiting too long

I've just had a call from midwife so so weird..she sounded really nice though and was sympathetic about mc. She's going to come and visit us at 7 weeks, just really hope it's not tempting fate

4everhopeful · 17/09/2009 12:09

OOooh good luck for tomorrow Mrskate! Hope your not weebling too much... xx Lots of scans...

4everhopeful · 17/09/2009 12:08

..... Just waiting on Neekos tx ..... PMA PMA PMA....!

Barbieroselee entertain us, entertain us!

My news of the day is dh went docs to ask for blood test form for the screening he will need for our treatment when I get preg again. His blood has to be screened 30days prior to the treatment & if done at Portland could cost about £400 . The treatment has to be up to 6wks preg so wont have much time to organise that & the screening, so the docs gave him a form to take home, requesting urgent results, which means when I get preg, he can get his blood screened immediately rather than go through rigmarole of trying to arrange it all, or go Portland & pay for it Confusing isnt it? Thats why we got on the case now!

C'mon Neeko!!!!!!!!!

BuddhaBellyBigPants · 17/09/2009 11:54

Just to say MLS & Neeko thinking of you both today and MrsKate for tomorrow
x x

anniebigpants · 17/09/2009 11:13

Good luck for your scans today Neeko and MLS.
Sending good luck vibes for your scan tomorrow MrsKate

MrsKate · 17/09/2009 11:06

good luck neeko for scan aswell

im getting a little stressed for my scan tomorrow i couldnt sleep last night . aaaarrrggghhh

4everhopeful · 17/09/2009 10:31

Ooooooh 2 spooky predictions!!!!!!!!!! Scary, but I LOVE it!!!!!!! You have no idea of the crazy mental images I have for you Barbie the last, was one of the maddest - you crouched down in a cupboard, gypsy skirt, shawl & scarf on head, laptop on knee, crystal ball on floor & tissue in hand! PMSL!! xx

Blue you hit it on the head! I know the only way things will be back to how they were with friends is when I have my very own bambino - hopefully sonner than later if you & GypsyroseBarbiebigpants are correct! Go easy on that housework! xx

barbiebigpants · 17/09/2009 10:14

i like to entertain the troops while we wait for the good news

4ever i do predict 2 more bfp before nov....um the ball is clouding over..(barbie spits on the tissue and wipes the ball) oh thats better...i think there will be one before the next lady gives birth....i see 4ever with a small baby by next christmas...and sabs with a huge baby in less than 4 weeks....

As for dh permantly smiling im sure i wind him up just as much as i make him laugh!!!

OP posts:
4everhopeful · 17/09/2009 10:07

You never fail to provide do ya Barbiebigpants!!! Ghosts in white robes!! DH must be permanently smiling living with you!
at you hiding in a cupboard to stuff your face! Must be awkward being preg in Ramadan & still trying to be respectful when you're starving marvin! But biggest at your psychic powers! You've done some of this intuitive stuff before - maybe we should christen you Gypsyroseleebarbie ? So lady what you predicting for me? (No - dont tell me!!!!) I do think preg hightens intuition without a doubt tho...! xx

bluesatinsash · 17/09/2009 10:01

Lovely mental image of you in cupboard with laptop on your knee barbie - as for the 'ghost' in your room - you nutter!

MLS - I hope you can feel all our positive vibes for this afternoon. We are all absolutely rooting for you and your lo and have everything crossed that when we log on later this thread will be full of smiley faces (please god).

Neeko - hope this morning passes fast for you too and you get your 'official' dating scan away with you later. I know the nerves will still be there, I was the same having had several scans including one at 11 weeks, still bricking it for 'official' one at 12...

Sabs - you are going to have a beautiful bouncing chubby baby. As neeko says babies know how to come out and help is on hand if you need assistance. The end result is more than worth it! Try not to worry too much about your DH, easier said than done I know (my DH was made redundant 7 years ago so know what its like)

Lovely 4ever - brave, stoic (to pinch your word) you seeing your bf yesterday, that must have been hard with said elephant in the room . I think you will be able to talk about it more easily when they're visiting you after the birth of your lo. Its a fact but I have felt more able to talk about my mc's as my bump has grown as I don't elicit the same pity as I did previously. The shoe WILl be on the other foot soon and you will be the one showing off the gifts and clothes and most imporantly your much longed for lo . In fact I'm I'm going to go as far as predict your pg by xmas!

Better shoot, housework beckons while DS is at playgroup - joy....

barbiebigpants · 17/09/2009 09:34

4ever are you still there? im at work, hiding in a locker room trying to eat out of the way of the crazy local ladies

The headache has gone...yipppppeeeee but not really any funny stories cos ive just been sleeping it off....oh hang on
last night i woke for my 100th 2nd wee of the night and looked across the bed room and screamed..woke dh and the dog.
Dh had thrown a white towel over the tall room fan and in my sleepy haze i thought i had seen a ghost....que a giggling fit while dh muttered about me being a loon

This morning i parked the car for work and as i was walking in thought to myself one of the girls in work is going to say she is pregnant...conversation in my head to what i would say etc etc.

2 hours later it was forgotten about until i asked why one of my therapist is constantly popping to the bathroom...and yes you guessed it i feel all strange...weird!!!

Getting slightly cramped in this cupboard, ill be back later to check on the girls....

MLS I am thinking about you my love... Sending positive sticky thoughts to you for today. Im sure you are in turmoil. Im praying that this will end as a happy day for you... Sending a hug an hour for you xxx

LovelyNeeko naughty lady not mentioning your scan! Go with whatever works as your coping mechanism tho hon, we all understand that... Will be holding your hand & also sending sticky positive thoughts to you too.. Beautiful analagy re santa.. Your poor bf & her friend.. V similar situation to mine, your bf had close edd as well? Glad you have a close enough relationship for it not to have driven a wedge between you like your bf's other mate... Feel for both of them..

I saw my bf yest but elephant was still in the room, felt wrong to do anything but gush over her new dd even tho it was quite hard being shown all the clothes/gifts ect. I dont want her to feel bad, or take away her special time by moaning about me, I saw the look in her eye when I held her 3wkdd & it said 'this should be you too, its not fair'. I know she sympathises but just doesnt totally understand, & am now accepting that she prob never will, & maybe one day Ill get to explain... Am getting past my resentment at lack of support from mates & applying the serenity prayer...! Has been hard cos 5 closest friends (4 were bridesmaids) 3 have now all been pregnant at same time as me, with 2 wks between our edds. 2 were preg same time as my 1st preg, & now bf pg same as my last one. 2 of the 3 were 2nd kids. Am the only 'childless' one. Longtime bf with 'issues' has nearly 3yr old & 15yr old & is absorbed with her anger/poss bi polar/craziness. So support aint readily flowing... But, we are all big girls now & thats why Im grateful for my lovely DH who is my true bf, I certainly couldnt live with any of my girls! Not truely resolved, but accepted & bitterness lost, so thats a start....

Morning Mermaidmylovely hows the weebling today? You're so stoic, selfless & strong, I really admire you & hope you know that & give yourself enough credit for your coping mechanism & ability to help others when you're hurting... Just wanted to make sure you knew that xxx

Cupcake I echo all emmsy weebles - take the aspirin. Iv heard of midwives saying ' oh is this another miracle aspirin baby'? Most of the causes of mc use aspirin as a 'cure' so it can only help. My consultant put me on it even tho no cause found at NHS. Hope you're doing ok and not too wobbly? xxx

Barbie glad the migraines gone & looking forward to hearing of your latest funny tale to tell today, whilst we sit here refreshing, waiting, hoping & praying! Love ya crazy lady! xxx

Blue thats inspring to hear about your friend.. Hoping know we both felt despondent lately, but maybe we gotta go through all this crap to come out stronger the other side like Blues friend, its not punishment its a test of strength eh?

Curly Im sure I speak for all emmsys weebles when I say we are missing you! Hope all is well in Curlyworld? How many wks now honey? Still chucking?

Mrskate glad to hear our Graciegirl is ok - I had been wondering! Pass on my love please! xx

Ahh Sabs please never feel you cant post honey, we're all on this journey together, bet that 3hrs waiting for the scan was hellish, & to find out babbys nearly a 9lb'er Poor you!!! LO will be woth all the pain tho, you sound very organised hon! xx

Right to work, Neeko at 11.30am, MLS at 2.30pm - all link hands & pray hard xxxxxxx

mermaidspurse · 17/09/2009 08:00

mls huge thoughts for you and your dh today
