Due March 2008 - meeting up for pies and cakes

[derah]

A nice new little thread for Skidoodle and anyone else who needs it.....

Iliketosleep - I'm so, so gutted for you, have been thinking about you all afternoon. Hope you have all the love and hugs you need, and best of luck for ttc again. Take lots of care xxx

Oh iliketosleep I'm so sorry to hear your news. I have been lurking today but no time to post till now and have been keeping everything crossed for you but alas its sad news. You do seem very brave, and I think you've got an attitude of sweetness and loveliness that anyone would envy (I certainly do). You and DP will be just fine, I know, even from the little I know of reading your posts. Just do take time to grieve and get support if you need it.
Looking fwd to hearing from you when you feel like it to tell us how TTC is going (although not too much info please...)
Take care
xx

iliketosleep...I don't know what to say...you've been so brave. Best wishes to you on the next time and hope all goes well.

iliketosleep - ive been watching the thread and had my fingers crossed for you hun, im so sorry things have gone this way xx

thankyou ill always be here stalking like a stalker!

anyway ladies, resume normal chit chat/gossip so i can stalk you all, its not as fun when its my own news im stalking

((illiketosleep))

i am sat here typing away on the pc and i can feel the baby moving

i had though that i felt it the other week or so, but tonight i definitely can fab,i had forgotten how nice it is, i wont be thinking that in a few months when its kicking me in the ribs tho

15wks now and i mentioned the pregnancy at school today, most people were amazed as apparently i dont look preg at all, my tummy is too flat, people were nice tho, and not once person said "do you want a girl" etc

I am so sorry iliketosleep... Don't know how you are coping. You sound like you have an amazing family and you sound excited about trying again quickly so that's really good. My man's sis had mc quite late on. Turned out was a boy. It was their 3rd and they were gonna make it their last. They really wanted a girl cos already have 2 boys. They tried again asap and she was pregnant about 6 months later. They now have a gorgeous little girl to complete their family. Hope you are coping and I have to say you are quite inspirational in the way you are handling things.
Sorry if I'm blabbering on....

Ok everybody...we have a few scans left to go so let's keep going with the positive thinking. That isn't meant to be insensitive to anyone it's just what we have to do. Starting out the day by sending you all some delicious chocolate cake which is very special in that it has no calories and restores memory! YUM!

Hi everyone! Commiserations to everyone who has had bad news recently. My scan is this morning at 10.30, and dd is obviously more excited than me as she was up at 6.30 demanding three breakfasts- she had a bowl of cereal. fruit then toast! I am still bleary eyed but was back and forth to the loo a;ll night, last time round we lived in a tiny flat so popping to the loo was closer than having an ensuite whereas now i have to go downstairs, which is not so convenient.

So now I am siting about nervously waiting for my scan, i have had a few scans in the past both pregnancy and gynae but they were all at the main hosp and today Im going to the local cottage hosp so I dont know where anything is, so Im less comfortable. Hopefuly i can come home having seen a heart beat with a pic, then i think i might feel confident to tell people.

Anyway thats the end of my essay, will report back later.

Turtle - thanks for the cake, and I don't think you are being insensitive: I actually think you are being brilliant at trying to keep us feeling positive despite the really bad news yesterday. I think the best attitude we can have on this board should be that each day we start afresh - try to put the previous days ups and downs behind us, and begin the day with a cup of tea and virtual chocolate cake

Now, I am noticing a strange thing - I keep cooing over baby animals. This is very odd, as I'm not one of life's natural animal lovers - no pets, never rode horses, don't go to zoos, don't watch David Attenborough. But now I think the baby cow in the Waitrose ad is the cutest thing I've ever seen, and I nearly cried at this news story this morning. The effect of these pregnancy hormones never ceases to amaze me!

I've only been able to lurk for a couple of days but have been following all your scan news with great interest.
Monthlymayhem, Skidoodle, Winkygirk, Tori, HolidaysQueen, Anguavanuberwald - so pleased for you all!
(I've probably forgotten someone and massive apologies if I have - only doing this from memory!)
Mumofmonsters and preggersagain - your scans are soon too aren't they?
I see that the May 08 thread is filling up. Feels strange!

For all of you who like Boris.... you are WIERD. My boss is the spitting image of Boris. And my boss is a not very nice person. So you've all made me feel sick and put me off my toasted bagel with salmon and cream cheese (my new craving.... mmmmmmmm)

My best mate bought me a wonderful gift on Monday. A crate full of non alcoholic organic wine!! It tastes alright considering - really fruity. Highly recommended to any of you missing the sensation of drinking wine. You can kid yourself you are drinking the real stuff, and best of all, you can finish a bottle without having to measure and pace yourself with one glass. (I have started having one glass of wine once or twice a week. Sorry if any of you think this is bad. I figure that if French women are encouraged to have 2 glasses of wine a week, I can't be that bad having 1 glass. The only reason doctors changed their advice to pregnant women about alcohol is that so many pikey women couldn't be trusted to understand what 1 unit really meant... rant over!!)

I sound like such an alcoholic .

Anyway. Me and DH are still getting used to the idea of twins. Its going to be such hardwork. But, we're telling ourselves it will be twice as nice rather than double the trouble . I keep myself going by thinking of two little faces peering up at me from their bouncy chairs.

Take care all of you and thinking of you iliketosleep and all others with sad news
xx

PS I've started reading a book on twins as I know nothing about them. I'm going to start giving you twin / multiple pregnancy facts of the day, because some of them are hilarious.

Twin fact of the day number 1: women who are pregnant with twins may put on up to 4 stone in weight and find that even normal maternity pregnancy clothes don't fit her.

LOL Yardette! You'll have to buy size 20 maternity wear! And the wine sounds yummy.

Thanks for the cake Turtle. How are things with DH? Have you sorted out councelling (sp?) yet?

3MB - how cool that you can feel baby already!! A couple of times I thought I've felt it, but it's probably too early. Fairly sure I felt it in the car this morning though. I'm 13 weeks so early days but should feel it for sure soon. But yeah, I remember the kicks in the ribs too! DD used to kick me in the side right where I'm ticklish and it was awful! I nearly crashed the car once when I was driving and she gave me a serious internal tickling. Weird how you can be ticklish inside too!!

Good luck for your scan today littleducks! The cottage hospital sounds lovely and I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm booked into a different hospital this time (though having a home birth) and was nervous going there on Tuesday but it was really nice - much nicer than the hospital I went to with DD and wish I'd picked that one last time instead!!

Well, I'm going to try and enjoy a peaceful day at work (yeah right, I have a million things to do!) before a mad mad weekend! DH's aunt and uncle are arriving tonight and staying for the weekend. Plus we have 2 parties to go to on Sunday. No rest for the wicked.....

All you old timers... does movement feel a bit like butterflies? Every now and then I keep getting butterflies, and wondering whether that could be the twins (and wondering whether you maybe feel twins moving earlier than normal)?

morning all, I echo all words of positiveness but have started the day in tears. A mix up with emails for someone I am meant to have sent a cheque to and basically, I'm the hard nut who never cries and here i am sitting at my desk with tears streaming down my face...partly hormones I guess and the fact I had another terrible night's sleep, DH is rotten having had some sort of gastric bug and now proper flu, as opposed to the usual man stuff they get. He's off work which is so unlike him and frankly I wish I was too. If one more person with a baby tells me to get lots of sleep before hand I might kill them - I can't sleep and I'm desperate to.
Anyway, sorry for my lack of positive spirit. I feel really pathetic today but thank goodness for lovely mnet to let off steam.
I'd love a piece of chocolate cake, I'm eating an apple and piece of cheese if anyone wants some!
Good luck with the scans to all....how exciting....another excuse to look at mumsnet all day!

derah...things are ok. Start counselling at the end of September and it seemes that my booking appt gave him the reality check that was needed. He's being very nice...contrite...who knows what he will be like once he sees baby on the scan next week!
Thanks for asking...don't think I'll need you to sort him out for me.

I've just re read what else is going on and I'm sorry for my out burst, so much that is more serious and more important than my sillyness....
so a new me...and sorry for before.
I won't go through everyone's post but just to say glad positive things happening turtle and hugs still to Ilivetosleep, such a lovely lady- an example to us all (well to me anyway!)...

Yardette - sounds like movement to me! Though if it moves around the back and then you, um, trumpet, then it was wind!! LOL! A few times before I would think "yay, that was baby!" and then let rip a big one and realise it wasn't baby at all! Sorry if TMI!

Imjin - damn those hormones and being tired. It really does suck being an emotional wreck all the time. Don't worry, it's Friday!!

Turtle - glad DH has seen the error of his ways. But if he lapses, you know who to call!

LOL at Derah trumpeting away.
Yes some of these butterflies are definitely wind, but some of them aren't, so I'm wondering and hoping whether I'm feeling them move!
Chin up Imjin. Its FRIDAY as Derah says!! And Turtle - glad to hear you're coping well in the circumstances and that your DP may be seeing error of ways.

Positive vibes to all x

Very sorry about the bad news, Iliketosleep. Wishing you all the best. I am very envious of your self-control and wisdom.

I would like to feel baby moving, too. But I think I can only feel ligaments at the moment. Which is great, because LO is growing!!!

Sending you positive vibes. My DH arrived home last night after 2 days abroad (i.e. eternity). I missed him so much. This morning he was stroking my bump with so much love that I did not feel like coming in at all Am I hormonal, too?

hi everyone just dropping one last post into the thread Please dont feel sorry for me, as i dont! I look at it that this pg was doomed from the start so i would rather it happened now than later on IYSWIM!! Im celebrating life not mourning death

As for all of you that have felt your los move...how cool is that!! especially so early! and to everyone else im happy your all feeling great!

Bless my dp this morning, he sorted the kids out for school and packed their lunchboxes, then realised we didnt have any squash left for their flasks. So i said to him to go and get them a bottle of orange juice from the shops....

well he came back and said they had these things that had loads of sweets and fizzy pop and candy necklaces etc in so i put those in for them!!!!

Ive just had to go to the school to change everything back never trust a man to do a womans job!!! but his heart was in the right place bless him

you all take care now and remember ill be a stalking youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu >

Iliketosleep...I am so sorry that you are going thru this. You sound very positive about things but please do listen to your body and grieve if you need /want to.

Am going to stop posting so much and just lurk on here posting from time to time. I don't want to explain why but don't feel comfortable posting the things that i want to.

Yardette (was it you that asked about scans?) got my date thru y'day and scan next Thursday at 3:30. Preggers again, i hope you get yours thru soon.

Will see some of you on the PG after m/c thread x

Comments about lovely DH's made me cry when I read them... Bloody hormones!

Talking of sweet dp/dh's. Mine has taken to kissing my belly each night and saying goodnight to junior.
