Emmsy's weebles continue to grow.. Onwards & upwards

Well if you have given up for this month & are not going to properly ttc you know what that means!

We have said to dh's nephew that we will go to Disneyland with him & his daughter next July so I hope that means that I will fall pregnant & will be due in July - isn't that how these things usually work??!

MLS - I don't actually know exactly what CD I am on... but somewhere around 24 or 25? Have been trying to ignore - don't want pressure this month - have given up actively ttc until the new year tho

Hello Iggy how are you doing? I think the run-ups to edd's are always worse than the actual day. I was desperate to be pregnant before my edd but as it turned out I was told that my 3rd baby had died the day before. Am I allowed to ask what cd you are on? Cupcake is right about bfp's coming in batches - perhaps it'll be our turn next?

mls really good to see you back

barbie & 4ever don't apologise - I am oversenstive

jools is your birthday on Monday? Not sure if I remembered right... anyway hope you have a happy day.

moon the old you will come back - I only just feel the old me is coming back x

mermaid how are you getting on? Still downing vodka in the greenhouse?

curly blood in sick sounds terrible - hope you feel better soon.

lbm I definitely need to join you in the sand..

waves to neeko blue vjay cupcake and everyone else.

Am still pretty ok. Not looking forward to next week, but not too sad either. Not sure if i mentioned that AF is due on my due date - cycles cyles...

rushes in helloooooooo, its cold too much work in the cold, awful cold - infact my nose looks like that biscuit.

ps the biscuit is I think a homage to Gordon Brown who would not share with mnetters what his fav biscuit was when he came on mn the other week. He wanted to answer questions on working tax credit and armageddon and not bourbons

mls there is a load of vodka with your name on it just to the right of the biscuit tin, help yourself, well done and big gold star your way.

jools please bring some nice weather here.x

4ever honey and lemon drinks and if you feel worried nip down to the scanning dept, we need o keep that stress at a simmer point and no higher oh and some balsam tissues are in the greenhouse too.

barbie I salute your bugaloo bargain, well done girl - re the weather doesn't that just go to show how the grass is always greener?

blue 2 days wehey I am so pleased for you allxx

opps got to get going xx

i thought red nose day was coming up!

Nice to see a busier, chatty thread. No time to post cos i gotta get my backside to work....ill be back laters xxx

oh bugger - just typed a really long message and lost it!!!!

MLS - you're back! Lovely to see you - I agree btw, crap happens to good people all the time and even more unfairly good things happen to crap people too,
But your back and on the case again - it will happen! BTW, how did DH take being told that he was wrong?

Jools have a great weekend and birthday - hopefully the great wine and food will dull the memories somewhat.
And for the two of you, prepare for constantly being reminded how old you are when you are pregnant. All I got from the MW today was , well you are 40..., well at your age... I had to tell her to stop eventually, it's only been 2 weeks and I'm still getting used to it!

Thanks for all your lovely messages yesterday - today ended pretty well - the mw thinks that I am 11 + 1, making me past last times mc and I even took my head out of the sand long enough to have a quick scoot at my an notes! Iggy - theres loads of room for two in the sand and its lovely and warm here ( as I'm sure Barbie can confirm, living where she does!)

Blue - two days only - go girl!!

4ever - you're called weeble for a reason aren't you! Wobbles are normal and if I believed I was pregnant, I'm sure I'd be wobbling too.

poor curly - I've luckily never been sick but friends of mine have suffered like you. Buckets of sympathy!

I'm really missing the point of - why on earth would you waste your time posting on something you had no views on!!

Thanks for all your positive messages.

Blue I vanished from fb at the same time as I vanished from mn. I've yet to return to fb as it's a horrible scary place, made to make women longing for a baby feel ten times worse about their inability to have one. I'd be completely unhinged by now if I'd stuck around there! Not long for you & you'll be sat with your feet up reading trashy mags - I hope you get a chance with that lovely ds of yours!

Message to Vivcliquot please come on over when you are ready. You won't meet a lovelier bunch of girls.

Moon booooo for an office full of pregnant people & pregnancy talk. You just don't need all that crap thrust right in your face every day. Hope your course is more interesting than any I've ever been on where I've been sat there all morning yawning & wondering what's going to be in the free sandwiches!

Vjay thanks to you I now have a craving for Jammie Dodgers!

Aww blue that's lovely! I've got the 'prayer' statue too it's gorgeous

Lol, just realised that is actually called biscuit...maybe it is meant to be a jammy dodger

x-post moon- HIIII! lovely to see you. Hope the course is a nice breath of fresh air tomorrow...and the old you IS still in there somewhere

Also forgot to sy I invited a girl from my AN thread here...she'sdecided to terminate after being told baby had an abnormality that would be terminal before birth, and she's getting married next week her name's vivcliquot...hope she does come over.

Haha I thought it was a chick too! And then a jammy dodger..That's hilarious

Neeko I'm def sharing that chicken suit with 4ever a little longer..paranoid ecause my scan was before 12 weeks that things could still go wrong. But definitely getting stretching twinges in my tummy which makes me smile Just went through my AN notes carefully and found the part where it says titch is 44.8mm long (they didn't tell us at scan) dh said 'really? wow!' and went to get the pic again to look at

Gosh Curly how horrible for you puking blood do not feel guilty for being miserable you have every right too..you've flipping suffered enough! Your girl will be so worth it though

Aww 4ever bless you worrying more but nasty colds make you feel rotten all over, I'm sure 4everfighterbean is snuggled up safe

Jools-resident brave lady..I'm thinking of you loads during this hard week dates-wise too... really hope you're ok x

mls lovely to have you back, i've missed you. my heart aches for your sad post, but you seem quite grounded about it all. come n take a seat with us small/commando panters in mermaids greenhouse and have a glass or 5 while we keep check on the medium/big panters.

btw it DOES look like a chick! and vjay you are right, we will ALWAYS have something to say on ANY matter on MN!

curly nice to see you too - please do not worry about me, you have plenty enough worries of your own without mine. and for your benefit i'm on cd 23, and not hopeful as i have my backache starting which comes before af... feeling very fed up and teary at the moment, have been a nightmare at work this week and have had to apologise to some colleagues for my behaviour where did the old me go

the office talk is still babies, 2 v heavily pg girls, and one lady back from maternity leave after having a year off. and they all sit near me so can't get away from the chit chat

on a course tomorrow so the change of scenery and learning something new will do me good.

to everyone, sorry for not posting to you all xx

Oh I thought it was a baby chick!

It's another smiley thing that means 'I have nothing to say on this matter', like I said it won't get used on here we all have plenty to say

Vjay what IS that???

just noticed this, though highly unlikely to be used here

Hi neeko there is a chat about the swine flu jab on mumsnet latest, I just saw the title on the right of the screen.

curly so sorry you feel so crap. I felt bloody awful towards the end, I even had to cancel seeing blue who was up my neck of the woods at the time, but it won't be for much longer, and it does all disapear after the birth.

jools I know you are away soon, so have a lovely birthday and a lovely meal at Rick Steins (sp?).

Hi.
So glad to see MLS back! I'm sure I've forgotten to tell you loads of stuff about the thread but at least you know the big stuff. I've told you before but I totally agree with Curly that you WILL have your other LO one day (and I'll do all the hoping and watching fate for you)

4ever Oh my, your wobbles are never ending are they? Poor you, as if having the cold when pg isn't hard enough. Don't be embarrassed about giving in early and going for another scan. An early scan is better than a stressed mummy-to-be.

cupcake Happy 12 weeks! Think you might have to share the chickensuit with 4ever before you move into bigpants. At least LBM won't need it as long as we don't hide her bucket and spade!

Curly really to hear you're having such a dreadful time. It's rotten that after trying so hard to get pg you're suffering so much. It's completely understandable that you feel so blue, but hopefully the remaining weeks will go quickly for you.

Jools If you're lurking I want you to know that I'm thinking of you too. I hope you're managing to create happy memories to blot out last year.

Hey there everyone. I hope our new thread is the source of great news this month and next

mls brave lady I love your spirit, and your consultant For what it's worth I really believe it will happen for you. So to hell with BIL and SIL and anyone else who chooses not to think it will happen for you You can tell your next little one some day that he or she is there because mum and dad refused to give up.

I hope all our small panters and commandos are doing well. Can we have more cycle days listed (though I do understand if some commandos don't want to) so that we can do some of the obsessing for you on the 2ww Fingers crossed for all of you this month xxx

Sorry I haven't been on this week. I have been thinking of you all and was so delighted to get 4evers text To be honest I'm just so fed up, and fed up with myself for feeling like this when I have everything I ever wanted I puked up quite a lot of blood last night when I was getting sick, apparently from puking solidly for the last five months, my spd seems to be getting worse and I'm so tired of worrying about everything. Had a good cry today but have had strong words with myself and I've (almost) remembered how bloody lucky I am. I cant help but smile every time she kicks though

Anyway sorry that turned a bit me me me What I really wanted to do was give everyone a massive hug and also a special one to moon who I always worry about and also to the lovely jools. I know this weekend and Monday will be really hard for you and I'll be thinking of you but I hope that your break and birthday will be the start of very happy times ahead. You deserve it lady xxx

Sorry for the lack of personal posts and lots of love to everyone xxx

BTW hope the booking in went ok LBM! x

Hey girls..

Glad to see us settled in new home, bit of a palava getting here!!! Was posting on my pho last night hence 3 posts coming out gave up in the end as DH & I 'telly' night with enders & holby so removed the surgically attached phone from hand & left you to it!!!

Once again, lovely to see MLS back xx

Good to see Hoping too & sorry for the BFN sweetie Hang in there, hope you find us ok after all the moves!

Baking good to hear from you last night & also sending you hugs & babydust xx

Iggs hope you doing ok & sorry again!!! xx

Jools where are you girl? Know its not your birthday til monday (as well as some sad dates...) when do you go to Cornwall? Wasnt Barbie sweet trying to organise a cake!!!

Mermaid do you have this stinky nasty cold too then? Its a real beauty aint it?

Bless you Blue for telling your DH about us! Well done for setting up the new home too! xx

Neeko hope all is well with you & you get a chance to put your feet up as much as poss now the super tiredness is hitting you hard... xx

Cupcake bless you too for understanding how 4 scans later Im still not reassured!!!

Barbie I feel for you being homesick & missing it here, tho as Vjay said enjoy it being a totally different last xmas with just the 2 of you, plenty of family festivitys in the years ahead.. xx

Vjay I love that I keep giving you goosebumps! Hope you get to chill a bit after a restless night!

Sabs are you all settled at home now? DH must be loving having the 2 of you to himeslf again, or is he still trying to do the cot?!

Ive been a wobbly old weeble after the daring to be excited & joy of mondays scan, theres always something to take it away & cause anxiety & panic mode within 24 hours or so .. I have got DH stinky cold, its a belter, all in the head, nose streaming, then yest had pains in groin, which I worked out to be lymph nodes, as is normal in a cold that immune will kick in, but cue panic cos the treatment we had was to stop my overactive immunity attacking the baby so worried that due to cold, my immune is gone into overdrive attacking more than just my cold... Trying my best to be positive & stick head in sand & will just have to wait til wait til next scan on monday to be reassured (tho did consider going on fri but think will try & hold out..) If it aint one things its another!!! Wheres that chickensuit gone?

Hi mls it's good to see you back and so positive

Ah mls sweetie! So good to see u back! My heart goes out to u & u have just described many of the emotions iv also battled through but fundamentally comin back to the steely grit & determination that this thing wont beat us, we WILL have our babys & that its not about prayers bein answered or not, nor whether we are good enough people, there is plenty of suffering in this world & in the end the pragmatic & philisophical approach is the only one to take.. What dont kill us makes us stronger & all those cliches that are actually true! Really glad ur gettin the tests & sounds like a great consultant.. Am posting on my pho so will be back on later, just had to say hello again! Big hug, keep strong, keep fightin, keep smiling.. xxx

MLS! You've been so missed. Really pleased to see you back and that nearly choked me up you telling me how much I deserve this.. well I think you mega deserve it more than me and I'm praying it will happen.
Sounds like you've had a very philosophical few weeks...you sound in a really healthy place though. And what an ACE consultant.. really makes all the difference I'm sure
You're right, good things do not happen because we are 'good' or bad things because we are 'bad'...crap just happens and maybe somewhere along the line we are supposed to find meaning in it but in the meantime we just have to weeble to an upright position again and help each other find the cocktails Loads of love to you xxx

Neeko yes, am 12 weeks today. Hospital measured me exactly 11+2 which was same as my dates...charting works
