hope everyone finds me.

Sorry to hear that trix Great news about heartbeat though
solars I wouldn't say I hypnobirthed as such, just used breathing techniques and stayed calm (for the most part!) which I would imagine is similar to meditation. If keep doesn't want the cd and the yoga dvd I'm happy to send them to whoever does, just thought I'd offer them in order of who's due next!

Right, well what a day!!

Trix so sorry about your dog :(

Hi Olives how are you?

This will be very me me me now, so feel free to ignore :)

We had a letter from Jamie's genetics team, went to the appointment today. They have possibly identified the 2 chromosomes that are faulty (he has a chunk missing from 2 and 12) so I have given a blood test and his grandma will do one his biological father is a missing waste of space, we could do with him having the test but as he has quite literally disappeared we will make do So anyway, if either of us have the same bits missing then back to the drawing board, if we don't then they think they may have possibly identified the problem and could potentially target gene therapy to save the remainder of his sight. I'm not allowed to get my hopes up as it is early days and the vests might show the missing genes are hereditary so I'm not getting excited at all well ok, just a little

so excited didn't realise I used his name I'm the post.

Oh wow Boo this is amazing news!! You must be so very excited!! Have you told teenboo the news? Or is he the typical teenager who would just shrug his shoulders

So pleased you might be getting somewhere!! Is it a long wait for the results?

Poor dog Trix

That's really sweet of you Olives. To be honest I'm a bit scared of the whole giving birth part so I'll just resume the head in sand position until the time comes to think about it.

Boo that is really good news for teenboo, do you know what the gne therapy involves?

Not excited at all well and truly over excited we will have to wait a couple of months for the results to come and see the genetics team again :) can't believe we have got this far, we donated samples for research with the possibility that they could find something to report but we were told it was a slim chance. From donation to now has been about 18 months.

I'm so excited for you all Boo. I love 21st century medicine!!!!

Ooh x post Solars we don't know as the Dr didn't want to jump the gun so to speak, he said once they have the next set of results we will meet again and go through them, I think he is very cautious about raising hopes too much too late

Boo fantastic news for teen boo, I am not surprised you are finding it hard to contain yourself. That is the best news and Brooking that they can save his remaining sight with treatment. Science is AMAZING!!!

Trix so sorry to hear about your dog, it is such a sad thing. I still get upset when I think of my last dog. We went out straight away to get a puppy, not sure it was the best thing to do but hey ho. Hope you are ok between the tears.

I am not letting myself think too much about the birth bit as it absolutely terrifies me. I am hoping for a nice straight forward ELCS, but I know I am going to have to deal with the prospect of early labour etc.

trix sorry to hear about your dog but equally great news about the hb
I'd be excited too boo brooking for teenboo!
waves at everyone else

Science is amazing I love it :) sorry Maybe I didn't answer your question, teen boo was in the appointment with us but because of his limited language and he is a teen and it all sounded a bit boring he didn't really understand the impact of what we were talking about.

So, who's doing what today?

Today I shall mainly be working. And trying not to vomit bu consuming my body weight in crackers

How about you Boo?

Ooh they sound like some lovely symptoms Maybe :)

Today I shall be mostly putting off having to visit the MIL by doing anything else

Ah, I see Boo. Isn't it about time you cleaned behind that cupboard you keep mentioning?! Or maybe clean the car with a toothbrush

I feel so sad for our little westie. she was 15 and had bladder cancer. but in the end her kidneys failed. all I can think of at the moment is seeing her so poorly.
well its my 28th birthday today so I am going to try and enjoy my trip to London.
oh the midwife seemed very happy with everything yesterday hb, pee sample, iron levels. so at least there was one positive thing yesterday.
sorry ladies I havent read back properly.
better think about getting out of bed I guess.

happy birthday Trix

Sounds about right Maybe I was also thinking of counting the birds on the wall paper to check they're all still there :)

Happy birthday Trix try to enjoy your birthday, I know it is hard given the circumstances.

My mission today is to stay awake. omg I am the most tired person in tiredsville. it was officially too hot for sleeping last night.

Maybe those symptoms sound to be kicking in nice and early for you. I hear ice lollies are very good for the nausea. Two for one in this weather.

boo you are very naughty trying to get out of a visit to mil. totally understandable though

Oh and Maybe forgot to ask, did Mr M put you up to telling me to clean my car before it smells like bum again

It was really really hot last night Sweetie I actually relented and for the first time had a fan on in my room. Hope you can get some rest today.

Right, next on my list to avoid the visit, cutting the grass with scissors

Oh Sweetie I know what you mean but I managed to somehow, after much tossing and turning, to get some sleep!

Happy Birthday Trix oh to be 28 again!!

Maybe poor you with the morning sickness, i've had only rare fleeting bouts of nausea but I've tried an ayurvedic remedy of almonds and it surprisingly worked! Another one is apparently milk with rose water, i've not tried it so can't vouch for it.

Yes very naughty Boo but get where you're coming from Bite the bullet and get it over with, that's what I do!

Milk and rose water Solars? That sounds pretty darn tasty to me!!

Sweetie it was so hot yesterday. It was crazy. It was like an oven outside!! Have a nap under the desk.

Boo never good to smell like bum . Are you suitably busy? If not I have a pot of paperclips you could count....

Happy birthday Trix. If I see you from my price I will wave. What are your plans?

oh yes I am doing invoices today and also waiting for a package to be delivered and then I will be off into town to do some banking and shopping lets hope it will stay dry until than as we have rain forcast for today...

Happy Birthday Trix hope you have a good day.

I'm very sorry about your wee westie Trix

I'm so of the hot weather you are having. It's been raining here basically all week :( although it is sunny at the minute but it won't last long.

thanks everyone. ill be doing a bit of shopping and then off to see the lion king this evening.

Ooh paper clips to count?! On my way Maybe just been to Tesco, home for lunch then I suppose we'd better go over and see her :(

So how was it Boo?
