Emmsy's weebles, from TTC to new arrivals, it's all going on here.

happy birthday iggy was it someone else's too that i missed somewhere... but yes all the best people are born in feb my turn tomorrow. someone must have been completely against us last year and totally ruined both our birthdays forever as our 1st lost lo was today, the day before mine, and 2nd lost lo was on dfs.

today has been very i crept off into the toilets a couple of times to get a grip, although i dont even think anyone noticed. cant wait for df to be home tonight, i miss him so much and its really sad but i cant sleep without him so am stupidly tired too and i just wanna snuggle up in bed with him and feel safe again.

we are going out for a meal tomorrow night so both gonna dress up and let our hair down, then saturday my mum and sister are coming for a bit of retail therapy and another meal. not looking forward to either yet but im sure i will be ok once df is home and i feel a bit happier.

mls you are sounding very positive and it can only be a good thing for your bean, sticky thoughts coming your way

curly and gracie and barbie ooh not long now, i'm very excited for you all

jools fingers crossed for you, it has to be your turn by now im sure of it

mermaid hope you're ok

cupcake good luck with finding your nest, you'll know when its the right one, and even if you and dh cant agree, just remember once you've got your own stuff in there and your precious lo comes along it wont make any difference where you are as long as you are safe and happy and together

Hi girls, MLS well that sounds like a better epu experience! Roll on the 25th!

Gracie so excited for you with the contractions starting sure you will have your lo by the end of the weekend, yay!

Curly thinking of you lots

jools grrr to the bag situation! I hate rubbish customer service...will definitely get in that barbiemobile again to kick them up the bum

barbie thanks for those tips lip balm, would never have thought of that! I decided last night to start along list of everything we need to buy before the baby comes a list will make me feel better!

blue I agree small babies should be in babygros! When we first met our goddaughter at 3 weeks she was in jeans...I was quite disappointed it's just not cute at that age! Hope Ben gets used to the ebm soon!

Hi mermaid whizzing by..hope some wine has made you feel less

Happy birthday iggy!

Saw a nice flat/maisonette tonight but 4 flights of stairs to get to it didn't impress me much thinking of hawling a buggy up there...4 more to see at the weekend

Hello Sabs I'm here, just logged on. Sorry to scare you. Yes I did go to epu but nothing exciting happened. Just collected some more progesterone & booked my scan for the 25th of this month. The nurse I saw was lovely & spoke to me for ages about the acupuncture. Thanks for thinking about me.

Hi, anyone heard from mls? Did I read right when she wrote that she was going to the epu at lunchtime?

Mermaid - I have a big bucket of sand here - it contains my head, but there is plenty of room for yours if you want to join me ?

iggy yay birthday girl have a lovely day

jools ditto on the boobs, tears, and cold.
stupid train company, I know you will sort them out though and if not it's the barbiemobile.

just popped in, checking up on gracie and barbie who both seem to be loitering around the starting line

curly hugely excited about the end of the week for you

4ever hope you have a better day and that the dr helps put your mind at rest.

blue really hoping that boyblue giets used to the bottle and you get a bit of shuteye, it's a difficult zone to be in.x

right I am scuttling back to rl again cos I am a bit and odd at the mo.

love to all, sorry school run.

I spoke to Mermaid on FB earlier this week - a bit of a brief conversation but she is lurking I am sure

Rant alert - just got the train into London to recover my bag - still not there. Got back to local station, got them to phone through to Luton - lost property has allegedly been collected and must be in transit somewhere Phoned the "customer care" line to be told that staff would never have confirmed recovery of the bag as that makes them liable - I said they did and you are and I want my bag back !!! Have agreed to phone again on Tuesday to see if it has turned up - grrrrr

I am full of cold, my boobs hurt like f*ck and are bursting out of my C cup quite alarmingly, feel seasick and am very hormonal and fighting back tears for no real reason at all

I'm missing lovely mermaid hope she is ok?

MLS good luck for epu later!

4ever hope your appt goes well.
xx

ooh happy birthday Iggy

and PHEW to MLS - my heart has been in my mouth all morning

Sorry to make you all worry - yes test line was very dark & came up before the control line! Yes I know it doesn't really tell me that the baby is ok but it's all the reassurance I need for now. Just giving dd her lunch so I'll be back in a bit. Going to epu at lunchtime, yikes!

P.S. Blue thanks for your complements, I think dh looks a bit weird in my wedding pics as since then he's grown facial hair!

P.S.S. Going to do a cb digi tomorrow.

All the best people are born in feb gg and barbie

Thanks for birthday wishes girls!

Happy birthday too Iggy Barbie - you will know contractions honey, believe me!!! Your tmumy goes tight and sore with period type cramps and sometimes a sore back. although saying that my SIL had nothing like that just an excrutiating sore back for a week. Morning of her DD's birth she still 'just' had sore back, threw up, BIL insisted on taking her to hospital, 30 mins later DD was born - yowser.

MLS - big had hold for wobble. Hope you've stocked up on HPTs. Was on FB yesterday but couldn't type as was expressing. Your wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous!! Loved your dress/hair/DH . I had those roses in my bouquet!

Vjay - lol at - ahem - exposed boob . Ah what the hell! How did your DS1 review go?

Monkey - need to add you on FB and check out how gorgeous you are! Your scan sounded v.positive, fingers firmly crossed for next one x

4ever - big hug and hand hold for you and your scanning debate. I personally would hold on until next scan, DD will be bigger and further on. what are you doing for your DH's birthday?

cupcake - Benjamin is still in babygrows 24/7. I love small babies in them, they have lots and lots of years to wear cool, trendy outfits and are tiny for such a little time. I am v. old fashioned in that I like my boys in white and pale blue and only stopped putting DS1 in those colours when I souldn't get them anymore. Its so hard buying nice classic boys clothes. Jo Jo Mama Bebe is a great catalogue tho.

Gracie/Curly

Neeko Gery's night tonight, although we sky+ it and have it as my Friday-glass-of-wine treat . How's the SPD?

Hey to everyone else. Going to walk and pick DS1 up from playgroup later with Bennyboy in his sling. He had hist first Expressed Breast Milk bottle last night, took 1 oz but really fretting and 'what the hell is this?'. going to try tonight at a calmer early time, if I can find the time to express today that is . I feel better today as Ben and me both went to bed at 8.30pm and he slept beside me until 1am - good lad

happy birthday iggy! gg ohhh im excited for you...wish i knew if the pains i had are contraction things or just pains so clueless!...a nice long walk would be good for you, how nice would it be if you had the baby on your edd...like i said i wouldnt be at all surprised if i went 10 days over, lo is far to active right now so obviously isnt saving energy for the birth...ho hum...never mind

ever have a nice day today, try not to worry too much. Hope the doctor calms you down and you can enjoy your pizza hut tonight

mls im putting off going shopping til you post...but im getting hungry so could you please hurry up...ha ha

Morning again!

No contractions of anything so far today, I do hope Mystic 4ever is right, tomorrow night would be lovely. DH was very grumpy that he had to go to work this morning cos my contractions had stopped!

My mum's coming round at 11am to go for a nice long walk see if that gets it going again, except she doesn't quite know that I had more than "1 or 2 Braxton Hicks" yesterday so she might tell me off!

Barbie my fundal height has never made it past 35 cm and my midwife has quit worrying about it now. I hope its not long for you too.

Curly hows things? I'm intrigued to find out whats happening on Friday for you, did I hear you're being induced?

Mermaid surely you're not still at the gym?

MLS hows that wonderfully dark line on your HPT??

Ooh Gg im very excited for you! Do tx us to keep us updated wont you?! I have a Mysticbarbie feeling that by tomorrow night you & Curly will have given us graduates 8 & 9 I also think we might all be celebrating another Bfp! Morning Jools! .......Barbie think you have another wk im afraid! Glad the mw reassured you hon, great tips too, already knew of the food stash, was shocked to hear u cant eat with an epidural tho! Iv low blood sugar so that will really be something to consider! Loved the ride in the barbiemobile btw! ......Mls sorry to hear ur feelin so weebly today too, so very totally natural after what u have gone through, hopefuly u have now poas & feel an incy bit calmer, silly epu prob didnt help with regard to knockin ur confidence, people dont realise how throwaway comments linger in our subconscious.. Big hug to steady the weeble (in us both!) ..... Thanks to all of you for understanding as always, was quite teary last night, have gp apt at 11.20am & she is lovely, 3wks more preg than me & very understanding, weve done everything over the phone so far & only saw her early days so will be comparin bumps! She had to google the cord thing herself so dont know how much help she will really be able to give but is very calming & sweet in general so that in itself is enough.. After im goin to mums, then food shop with DH & then pizza hut for dinner so not about all day but will lurk on pho for news when i can! Lotsa love x x x x x

mls are you ok?

Anyone watched gmtv this morning? Dh has just called and said his mum was on it twice...talking about the new laws to bring in plastic only glasses for all pubs/ clubs! Trying to search the net to see if i can watch it....

Thank you, I'll post as soon as I'm back.

damn! I would be dressed and waiting outside of boots at 9am opening well im here all day doing nothing so just post if you need company.

Yes we have milk but I don't have any more decent hpt's left so actually have to go out to buy one & the shops don't open for another 40 minutes!

did you check you had the milk

No honey you are not totally f*ked up! Just a normal women who unfortuntly has had to go through a tough time to get where you are today...i did test after test after test..(you get the picture) and even tested the night before my 20 week scan so if you are f*ked up that make me also!

Im guessing the line is nice and dark and you are ok?

No it's just my silly over-active mind playing tricks with me. Nothing has happened, no temp dip or anything as I've stopped temping to save my sanity. I just need to look at a nice dark line on an hpt & then I'll feel better. See, I'm totally f**ked up.

Oh dear mls are you ok....could the sense of impending doom be something minor? like you forgot to buy milk...
Im here, come back and tell my what the 1st response says...
