mermaid its not fair i had high hopes for you too, but sorry i am not giving up yet, its still really early and i am keeping fingers, toes, legs and arms and anything-else-that-will-cross crossed for you.

vjay heres a big squeezy hug for you, you do sound like superwoman sometimes, i think you have remember you are only human and you are allowed to feel a bit crap every now and then, and i know you are a fantastic mummy

louey glad the physical side is over, its crap you had to go through it all again, i hope your break away will help to start the healing process

Thanks cupcake. Ds1 has just said he wants to learn it at home, and has just done some of the moves in the kitchen, and I thought he hadn't been watching them.

Awww Vjay bless you massive hugs from here. Sure it will just take a bit of perseverance. You are lovely, don't be too hard on yourself xxx

Thanks for that cupcake.

Well just taken DS1 to taekwando, he got too upset and at one point sat under the chair!! So after half an hour of trying to get him to join in I gave up and brought him home. I've been a bit hard on him and now I feel a bit shit, so will give him a big hug once we've both calmed down. On a brighter note, Ajay loved watching it all and just sat in his buggy quite content to watch.

I need a hug.

Oh and Vjay to back up your files you just need an external hard drive. We have this one it just plugs into a USB.
IT types will tell you you also need a third offsite backup incase your house burns down! But we haven't got that!
I'm mega paranoid about losing photos and other precious stuff so save everything externally... you can just put stuff on several memory sticks though, would give a bit more peace of mind!

Ps- sorry about not liking Glee

cupcakefairy · 21/04/2010 18:24

mermaid you must have felt like you were stuck in a recurring nightmare being told that stuff again and having to wait. I'm not giving up hope for you though. Hope you're still curled on that sofa.

Well done louey for getting through today.

Off out to dinner with dh after Neeko's hassling that we need date nights before baby

GracieGirl · 21/04/2010 18:09

I do hope you ovulated late Mermaid I really want this to work out for you. Its going to be a long 2 weeks till that next scan.Sending huge hugs.

Louey its good to hear you're recovering and will soon be off to Cornwall.

mermaid remember your last af was late in March, you asked us all to do an af dance for you, so maybe the same happened last month too, another late ovulation? I do sound a bit too knowledgable on your cycle here

OP posts:
monkeybumsmum · 21/04/2010 16:09

Oh Mermaid I so hope that you have ovulated late, but I suspect you're pretty sure of your dates? I too so desperately want this to work out for you. Sending you a big tight squeeze xxx

VJay · 21/04/2010 15:59

mermaid do you think you may have ovulated late? How many weeks is the scan putting you at? I just want this to work out for you so much.

Joolsiam · 21/04/2010 15:57

Oh Mermaid - I really thought that this would be your time. Life is so cruel sometimes ...

Sending you lots of sunshine, chocolate and cushions for your comfy chair in the greenhouse, together with a case of New Zealand's finest rose wine. x x x x x

mermaidspurse · 21/04/2010 15:48

I'll try and keep this brief cos I feel utterly drained and am going to curl up on sofa in a mo.
No fetal pole. sac and yolk there but nothing looking remotely like it should for the dates. They did the optimistic bit about ovulating late but I think it's a repeat performance. I have an appointment for the 5th and can go back anytime before that if I am mad or begin to bleed.

mls hope you are ok.x

louey well done for getting through that, hope you get home soon.

Thanks masses for your texts they kept me going you are all stars.

loueytbg · 21/04/2010 12:53

Just popping on to see if there is any news from mermaid.

Tis done - have just eaten and hopefully they will let me go home in a couple of hours. Thank you all for your hugs.

GracieGirl · 21/04/2010 12:46

Morining, and firstly, loeuy hope eveything goes well today and it's all over quickly and painlessly

mls and mermaid good luck today, am thinking of you both, also mls your DD is hilarious, big bum and big bits, love it! , as for your hugs, my ds1 would love your hug, he's always hugging people, quite a problem really, but we're working on it

monkey Glee, is a US programme about highschool kids in a glee club, all singing and dancing productions and all that, I love Mr Shu that's why I watch it , you need to get a copy.

On to a more serious note, cupcake how can you not like glee?????, I think you must be a bit if a Sue Sylvesta

4ever you poor love, you are nearly there, baby4ever is nearly here, just a few more weebly weeks to go

mrskate good to see you

blue thanks, I don't feel like a good mum sometimes as things can get on top of me, but thanks

barbie so sorry you lost all of those precious pics, I never back up anything, I don't even know how, but after reading your post am going to look into it.

Had my coil check today, it's still there but has moved, so I'm going to have scan in a couple of weeks to check, that's going to be weird

OP posts:
mermaidspurse · 21/04/2010 10:42

mls good luck, hope you are as ok as possible this morning.

louey Sorry that you are also back in today too. Thinking of you, it's hard having it dragged out for such a long time. Rest and eat more chocolate. we'll dance it all off when we get our pom poms out for 4ever and cupcake

thanks girls.

GracieGirl · 21/04/2010 10:41

Louey I hope its all over very quickly and you are soon home packing your shorts for your trips to Cornwall - can I come to Cornwall too??

Mermaid I wish the seconds that feel like hours days (whilst you're waiting for the ultrasonographer to hurry up and tell you there's a heart beat) fly by quickly for you.

MLS big squeeze for you too.

Got to run, speak later!

4everhopeful · 21/04/2010 10:23

Hand squeezes & prayers to lovely Mermaid, Mls & Louey today....

barbie1 · 21/04/2010 09:19

Argghhhh now its my turn for my mac to break, so like mls im borrowing dh work computer.
The hard drive went so we lost some of our pictures from the last 7 years of beinbg together along with some of Devon thankfully dh did back up the hard drive just after she was born so we have the precious birth ones...let this be a lesson to you sll. Always back up your computers!!!!

mermaid just wishing you all the best for your appointment later today, praying for a positive outcome for you, you really really deserve it.

monkey glad you came back to us, poor you at everything else you are having to go through. Nice to see you still have your sense of humour though re boden clothes

leouy at all the crap you are also having to go through right now...hope the cornish holiday cheers you up and helps you to recover that little bit faster...

Oh dear i have to go, barbiegirl is screaming and im not too good at this controlled crying marlarky!

CurlyBigPants · 21/04/2010 08:30

monkey that's really beautiful. I didn't know her but I think your mum would be so proud of how well you have coped and that you still have time to worry about others xxx

louey I'm so sorry that the nightmare continues. Good that you have cornwall to look forward to xxx

moon I hope you are ok? come back and talk to us honey xxx

MLS that all sounds much more positive. My hand is ready for some squeezing during your scan. Big hugs honey

big hug to 4ever too. Try not to worry though I know it's impossible xxx

and finally sorry for the lack of personals, I still haven't got back to that mammoth post but just couldn't wait as I had to hand over my hand to the lovely mermaid today. Just 3 and a half hours to go. I will be praying with every bone in my body for a wonderful little heartbeat for you my lovely xxx

GracieGirl · 20/04/2010 21:46

Oops! Obviously I meant MLS's DD!!

mermaidspurse · 20/04/2010 21:39

x post gracie and much missed kate hello lovelies and at jack being 6 weeks.

mermaidspurse · 20/04/2010 21:33

4ever Hopefully you are tucked up in bed and tomorrow I think is free of any trips to the hospital so have a total pamper day. If you can still see your toes which may be improbable you may have to get that loely dh to help which will beat sticking a needle in you.

louey sheesh - I think that's my suck through teeth expression but not sure if it works in word form - you poor thing. I am so sorry you have to go back again. at least you can enjoy Cornwall and hopefully do nothing but unwind for a bit.

mls lol at your dd. My ds is at the stage of hiding with his eyes tightly shut if he sees someone have a 'snog'
ok its epu at 12 will be thinking of you. I am totally bricking it tbh. don't feel very pregnant but then I think I may have forgottten what normal might be.

cupcake at your scan that is fab news that all is well. Whne I had ds I don't recall anyone measuring his size as such. loving your 'expert dude' reference.
I reckon it's a girl but if I am wrong it's whatever barbie says it is

moon I only saunterted in to see if you were around to give you a big gold star cos you are lovely and brave.

monkey I am equally in the dark over glee Big hugs from here.
