Congratulations MLS Am so happy for you! What fab news to start a Friday with

I have my fingers crossed for you Jools and all other small panters - yes, a hat-trick would be great...

Things going okay here. Had mums funeral on Wednesday which actually went really well. We had over 200 people come which was amazing, and we all managed to hold ourselves together enough to stand at the door of the church at the end and see everybody who came as they went out. It was really lovely and I am SO glad we were strong enough to do it.
We seem to be quite lost now though, with no preparations to get on with Can't imagine the rest of my life without her...
I am also knicker-checking like crazy, as I bet you are now too MLS. Is impossible to stay calm isn't it! Did a Clearblue digital with conception indicator on Monday, and it put me bang on where I should be, which I hope is really good and am trying to be reassured by it... Got first doctors appointment for next Wednesday and am already getting a bit stressed! Will be just 6 weeks so they won't be able to see much I don't think, will they?

I want to say a huge thank you to all of you for your lovely messages last week. I've just had a chance to read through them, and you are just all so lovely

MLS I was so very sorry to hear about your sister, it must've been an awful shock. You obviously know exactly how I'm feeling right now, and I'm so glad that all went well with your DD - it must be comforting to think that there's that link with your sister through her. You're right about it giving hope in a time of sadness and grief - I told my brother and my dad, they both cried, and just said how wonderful it was. Dad even had a smile on his face.

4ever So sorry that you've been going through such a worry. I really hope that everything works out okay. We had a scare when I was expecting ds, and was told that there was something wrong with his brain. It was the most awful time as you just feel so powerless. Thank goodness they were wrong, but we didn't find that out for three weeks - it was a horrible time Sending you a huge hug and I have my fingers crossed for you that all will be well x

Jools You are lovely and oh so right about the circle of life. I am just praying that this little bean will make it, as I feel like mum is behind it really. She even said the last time I saw her that it will be my turn soon. I really hope that you are right wrt to ovulation - would be lovely to see you getting a much deserved bfp too

Moon Was so sad to read that you've been feeling so down. Your lost lo's will always be with you, no matter what's going on. Your post made me just want to hug you tight x

Cupcake Poor you being in so much pain, I really hope things get better when you see the physio. Have you an appt booked?

Barbie V pleased t hear all is going well with babybarbie That's fab that your family should be there when he/she arrives!

LBM Lucky you going to Paris! Did you have a nice time? Hmmmmm I love millefeuille too

Curly Sorry to hear you've been going through such a tough time. I really hope everything's okay and that curlygirl arrives safe and sound. Thanks for the hug, am squeezing you tightly back x

A big hello to everyone else, hope you're all okay!

Multitude of x posts cos of slow phone posts! Off to make round 2 of tea & biccies, been awake since dh alarm at 6.20am & bit exhausted after all that dancing & excitement! Must just say tho, i felt a psychic Barbie moment when i said that i hoped your lovely sisters anniversary would bring you a BFP! Im sure she is smiling down very proudly honey..

4everhopeful · 29/01/2010 08:20

Yay for Mls & hopefully not Soggypantsbarbie as 4ever joins sticky bean dance horizontal stylee in bed! Babyhopeful been dancing since we heard the news!

4everhopeful · 29/01/2010 08:12

Aw morning wobblybarbie! Whats wrong? I been loving the exciting happy nesting posts too, they inspired me! That sounds fun for Freddie btw! ....Im doin lots better thanks & want to say a massive thank you for all the lovely supportive & understanding posts & tx... ...Had ante natal with consultant yesterday who did reassure us quite alot & have been doin my best to be a positive weeble for bubba, still bit crap that everything not perfect but as he said, worrying wont make 2nd artery start growing & we have excellent fetal med dept which would be acting further if real cause for concern, he did help & is very straight talking... Dh & i even ordered our moses basket & a few bits from mamas & papas afterwards (all half price ) in a show of faith! Felt very brave & proud for doing so, but they do let u put down a refundable deposit & we dont have to collect it til may! We did however get the matching cuddly toy which we did bring home & put in what will be babys room! Our first purchase! Very important step in having total belief, hope and faith in our baby girl! After, as a reward, when dh went back to work i splurged on some mat clothes in new look! Several things but 2 oh so cute tees, one says mummy to be & one says i love my bump! Nothing like retail therapy! X x x x x

MummyLovesSadie · 29/01/2010 08:02

Barbie have you peed yourself?

barbie1 · 29/01/2010 07:56

sadly fails, falls in heap on the floor and cant get her fat self up to get to the bathroom in time

barbie1 · 29/01/2010 07:55

barbie wobbles and shuffles around the room holding up baby barbie from bladder in order to catch up and dance with mls

barbie1 · 29/01/2010 07:54

wooby???? wobblely??? oh ok im having a wobble!

Oh and thanks for all your suggestions re itching...thankfully not on my feet or hands but everywhere else i think it was because the weather got a lot colder yesterday and out came all the mozzies, maybe i had a few bites...the midwife isnt worried, she thinks im having a last minute growth spurt and will itch as i stretch

Welcome back curly im guessing everything is ok now??? are you being induced next week? i cant believe i got my bfp only one day after you and i still have weeks to wait....(insert impatient barbie emotion)

jools no shoes? good excuse to work from home if there ever was one!

MummyLovesSadie · 29/01/2010 07:53
