Quickie from me (again).

monkey I hope tomorrow goes as well as it can in the circumstances. I know we have all been through awful stuff with our mcs but I cannot imagine what you've had to go through this year. The windmills sound really lovely. Will be thinking of you xx

I've been lurking and reading, just too much going on in RL at the moment. I must add my guess to the sweepstake though as mls is getting close....

loueytbg · 27/09/2010 23:21

MLS sweepstake! I was going to go for 10/10 as well but as two of you have guessed that already, I've gone for 5/10 which I think is a pretty cool date too :)

Curly - 25/9, GIRL, 6lbs 7oz
Neeko - 29/9, GIRL, 7lbs 8oz
Sabs - 30/09 (Saara's birthday), GIRL, 7lb 7oz
Blue - 1/10 GIRL, 6lbs 6oz
Louey - 5/10, GIRL 7lbs
4ever - 01/10, GIRL 6lb 11oz
Neeko's mum - 1/10 BOY, 7lbs 5oz Well she has met her and feels that's reason enough for a guess!
Cupcake - 10/10, BOY, 7lbs 10oz
Moon - 10/10, BOY, 7lbs 1oz
LBM - 11/10, BOY, 8lbs
Vjay - 17/10, BOY 7lbs 6oz

Good morning ladies,

monkey here is my hand, a box of tissues and a few words...

I'M HERE IF YOU NEED ME

Life's events don't always happen,
Just as they are planned.
For you this is a trying time,
I fully understand.
Moments like the present,
Tend to upset and confuse,
I'll try to give you my support,
In any path you choose.
I'll listen always with my heart,
I'll do what I can do,
I'll hope for brighter things to come.
My thoughts remain with you.
You know your situation.
You're alert to life's demands;
But don't forget I am here.
I'm one who understands!
I am Here. (as are all the other Emmsy's)

This morning i had to do a feed at 4am, instead of grumbling i was in fact so grateful that i have the chance to do so, i sat in the dark nursery and cried for monkey Blush, my thoughts wondered to all of you and how life is so unfair at times. I echo 4ever and believe your little boy is safely with grandma, looking down, wishing they could wipe away your sad tears Sad. I hope you and your husband find peace today and the windmills blow freely and little C gets lots of extra cuddles x x x

barbie1 · 28/09/2010 05:27

Now to the rest of you lovely's (thought monkey deserved a post all to herself Smile)

mermaid i worry when we dont hear from you! Im glad that there are finally some sunny days in the midst of all the gloomy and cloudy days. Some day you will realize that there are more sunny days, fingers crossed its not too far away...
I have to go through all my clothes soon but i cant be bothered. I have finally packed away all of my mat clothes so that i cant hide behind them anymore, now i just have to do the other 3 wardrobes and under bed storage boxes of crap clothes....one dayHope you enjoy your spending spree to fill up the gaps Wink

moon as a bridezilla i would of said 2 years ago that it was all about the wedding Blush but then it came to the day and i can honestly say that it didnt matter about the matching table clothes or the boxes of favors, the best bit was seeing dh face as i walked in and totally loosing myself in the vow's...like someone else said, i really could of been anywhere..just the two of us. We were all that mattered!
I would do a shabby chic theme (very en vogue right now) table clothes from second hand shops, wild flowers, vintage dress, hand written invites etc etc...all this pulled together would love fab but would cost next to nothing...in fact why dont you just make me wedding planner and ill do it all for you Grin i love a wedding!!!

jools i bet if you didnt turn up to the lunch you would of had a million missed calls, a few hundred text and a bunch of raving loonies emmsy angels running along south bank searching for you! Grin you are very much part of this thread...just because you havent had your baby yet, doesn't mean you don't belong! (take note of the fact i said yet..i still believe you will get there!) Your advice is invaluable and you are always here when the going gets tough for somebody, so let us be there for you. Good news about your AD's, wishing you a fab holiday in case we dont 'see' you before.

mls loving the lastest painting (on fb so come on over to the dark side non fb er's!) Glad you are a little more chilled...so do you really think labour is imminent? Biscuit i did post my sweepstake earlier on but i cant find it now, ill add it to the bottom of the official one once i see it.
Yep im a leftie! more creative then intelligent Grin lol at the super bright, intelligent and attractive.

4ever i loved living in kingston...we had a penthouse apartment on the quayside, floor to ceilng frontage facing the thames, beautiful and thankfully paid for by dh work or else we would be bankrupt! Grin Bushy is lovely, the new art is fab for kids, dolly loved the ducks and kept trying to grab them! Hmm
The last trip was spoilt by dh getting his wallet stolen though Hmm im sure they were a professional group who targeted us in m&s Angry
The swimming is going so well, you really should enroll Summer. Apparently if a baby falls in (at 6 months old) and they have had lessons, they can get themselves to the surface, flip on there back and float for about 2 mins which gives a much higher survival rate, well that is if you arent Dolly who flips the other way due to always being on her belly Hmm Grin

Ekk im all out of time (baby awake) will try to finish later x

mermaidspurse · 28/09/2010 08:01

(& hoping shes not having baby just as we leave! ) pls send out happy thoughts! Grin

bluesatinsash · 28/09/2010 20:12

monkey - sorry I haven't been on before now. Like all our other Emmsy's you have been filling my thoughts today and I hope there was a gentle breeze over with you to turn your windmill and bring some peace. I will never fail to be humbled by your ability to keep putting one foot in front of the other, being a fantastic Mum to monkeybum, wife, teacher and devoted DD to your Dad. I pray hard that you will hold another baby in your arms and it will be a very, very special day indeed.

barbie - what a lovely post for monkey.

cupcake - hope your friend is OK, I'm sure she will be just fine Smile. Have a fantastic holiday x

Will be back on tomorrow lurking from work

cupcakefairy · 28/09/2010 20:45

Phewy, she's ok & has been discharged. still getting some pains but apparently not labour yet :)

MummyLovesSadie · 30/09/2010 08:02

Just popping in to see how Monkey is doing.

I'm still here. Grin

barbie1 · 30/09/2010 09:07

yawn....

Hello, mls you still here Grin thought you be off popping out a baby by now!

I had a lovely email from monkey saying thanks for all the support they we have all given her and that she is just a little too busy to post right now but will be back soon...

cupcake bon voyage! Have fun

Just back from swimming lesson three, Dolly is teething so she couldnt go under today, so no heart in my mouth moment for me today Smile

All is ok here, still problems with dolly's poo...another trip back to the doctor on sat to see if anything else can be done before they run test on her intestines Sad...she has been dropping weight too, back to the 5th percentile so fingers crossed that this is not at all related and she is just active hence the weight loss...slightly worried but remaining positive.

Hope everyone is is ok? little quiet lately x

VJay · 30/09/2010 17:42

HAPPY BIRTHDAY saara, hope you are enjoying your birthday and having a lovely holiday SmileSmileSmile

Another yawn here, Ajay has been a little monkey the last 3 nights, so not had much sleep, last night was a little better though, so hopefully he'll sleep better tonight Smile

OP posts:
barbie1 · 30/09/2010 17:45

i wonder what sabs is doing for saara's birthday, something fab if i know Sabs

VJay · 30/09/2010 17:51

Yes fabsabs will definatly be doing something fabulous for Saaras birthday Smile

I'm not sure if Ajay is waking due to hunger or teeth or both, so I'm going to give him a bit of supper tonight with his bottle before bed, hopefully that will keep him settled for longer.
I hope you get much more sleep tonight, 2 hours is awful, poor you.

mermaidspurse · 30/09/2010 17:51

barbie poor little dolly. I have everything crossed that all the tests are ok. It must be a worry for you. Teething can do really cranky things too, big glass of wine for you.x

cupcake your poor friend that was a bit of a scare. Enjoy your holidays and have a fab time.
