Emmy's weebles are taking over mermaid's greenhouse!

[barbie1]

....therefore she cant throw us out!

Long may the support continue x

Hello Weebles

Ive been back in hospital thankfully only for another checkup as cramps and tummy still not right and im being really really good with my eating and putting on weight
To cut a long story short ive been booked in for the day on the 16th and will have to have a colonoscopy hopefully not literally
My mum is here to look after Dolly, and i have been given loads of meds to take before hand to 'flush' me out im not very good at poo and bum stuff (still wont poo if dh is in the house )
I cant bf Dolly for the whole 12 hours on the meds so that will be a challenge...ho hum

I did make the doctor laugh when he asked what i was so worried about...i said i have never had any put up my bum before! and dh snorted!!!!

Well thats all my news...now over to you lot.

Loads of poorly babies and weebles at the moment hope everyone is feeling better now?

moon i would take your diary, detailing each and every af, the number of days between, when you ovulated (if you know) the amount of time it lasted....etc etc. Lay it on thick, say you have been trying forever ( i know it feels like it) and really push for answers. I had a scan to check my follicles, the had a blood test, then an internal scan....and then fell pregnant before i went back for the rest ...hope this happens to you! When is the appointment?

mls i lost all my pics too, just after Dolly was born... its a bummer and a hard lesson learnt. Hope you can retrieve some more from friends and family??? As for Dolly's sleep, we are getting there! 7pm until 5.30 most nights, a few mummers in between but i dont go in...now if only i could make up stay asleep for the extra 1.5 hours but im not going to push my luck, this is 1000% better than it was.

blue i love the white company, we have the dolls house and the dog kennel, the pj's are just too cute! She is a size 3-6 months in there so ill pop in and have a look, we have a big sale on here too. Cons are great, she looks old school and bang on trend today she even had on a scarf with her dress, tres chic!

curly hope we dont lose you
Any plans for lo b-day? what are you buying her? Bless her nearly waking, you had better get your running shoes on cos once they are up they are away! Dolly ran out of a shop today total nutter my dd!
The clothes i buy here are mainly mothercare and the 3-6 month range is very new born, now she is walking and talking it looks funny to put her in baby grows and stuff so im trying to find leggings and t shirts (still baby colours) just so it doesnt look so weird. I still haven't succumbed to jeans on her.

monkey wondered where you were, sorry to hear you have been unwell, nice to have you back posting

qa hope you had a nice time away? also hoping tew stayed away and you come home with something extra

Right im out of time, sorry for all i missed...ill be back soon xxx

Poor you barbie it doesn't sound like a lot of fun. My MIL is going in for the same thing on the 14th and she has to be flushed out too. at your DH snorting though! Hopefully they will get to the bottom of whatever is making you feel yucky You need some reins for Dolly by the sound of it, still using ours for DS1 who drives us mad by running away at every opportunity...get the little life rucksack ones, when they get older, they can carry their own snacks

POor mil...its not gonna be nice is it????

What are the reins you are on about? where can i get them? We nearly made it to mother care to get them today but Dolly woke up and i didnt want to walk the length of the mall with a unhappy baby!

Hi ladies :)

Sorry to hear about all the illnesses...especially you barbie although I too snorted at what you said to the doc
And at you not pooing with dh in the house! I know we share our ickiness at anything to do with poo and similar things but I think I have got much better since having ds ...probably from being projectile poo-d on when he was tiny, cured me of all poo fears!
I've never put ds in jeans either...I just think they look wrong on a baby. At Christmas my Grandma gave him a 9-12 month outfit with jeans so I may have to succumb to that!

monkey urgh, can't believe your gynae made you feel bad for knowing your body and I bet he/she told you 'all women ovulate on day 14' hope you're ok lovely lady...what's the next stage of your PLAN?

speaking of PLANs, mermaid what's the latest on yours? Hope you're doing ok too.

blue, definitely allowing myself treats...we have a ridiculous amount of cake and biscuits left from yesterday...anyone wanna come over??
LOVE the sound of your girly night! DH and I are having a games night here this week with some friends which I'm quite excited about but there won't be any singing, boo!

Hi Vjay massive high 5 on your weight loss, and on how lovely you and your dh are.

Hi curly! major at curlygirl chatting away :)

Lovely sabs thanks for the email too...sadly that day is my sister's wedding but hope you have an AMAZING time, sounds lush!

MLS about losing photos :( after reading your post I told dh we must buy another external hard drive to back up our pics again...I'm so paranoid! Like blue we print our favourites from each year to make an album but we take waaaaay more than that so would still be crap to lose them. Glad you have your faves though. Are you still going to the cranial osteopath with dd? How are you finding it? One of my NCT friends' babies only sleeps 4 hours out of 24 and we keep telling her to go to a CO...

Waves to cupcake

I dont mind dd poo...i just dont like my bottoms issues being seen by dh! I will poo if im desperate but will run a tap and use the bathroom on the other floor
Dh on the other hand will happily crap anywhere and often leave the bathroom door open so he can talk to me

Found the reins, they look cool! Does she wear the backpack when the reins are on?

barbie these are the reins - Mothercare might have them, otherwise try online.

cupcake Ooh cake - shame you are so far away as otherwise I would take you up on the offer. Have already eaten a bakewell tart this afternoon at the lack of sleep your friend must be getting.

So who wants to explain our thread title....[[http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1137795-Please-can-someone-explain-all-the-mumsnet-
groups-to-me?pg=3 its got a few people stumped]]

I might get Ajay some of those reins they look good .

louey Cjay used to run off ALL the time it was really bad, and although it went on longer than say NT children, he doesn't do it anymore. I think he was about 5 when it stopped.

barbie what is it with men sitting on the bog with the door open , and to top it we live in a bungalow so there's no escape, but I suppose at least he wants to talk to me

cupcake I've made cakes today for the boys and allowed myself one and really enjoyed it and.......I DIDN'T go back for a second

blue your girlie night sounds fab. Sing a song for us Emmsys

Right I'm going to track down the list as there are a few birthdays coming up

Well done vjay i was wondering the exact dates of the birthdays :)

oh barbie i always run the tap when im going & dh is in the house too ridiculous isnt it!

louey i have bakewell tart & banana cake & choc muffins & cookies all good work about to be undone!!

I am trying to resist cake today as I looked in the mirror last night and decided my face was getting fat . I did spend pretty much all of yesterday eating....

vjay they are good and they are easier to use than some other types of reins. Mind you, it was a bit like taking a couple of dogs for a walk when I tried putting them both on reins together. They constantly got tangled up with each other . I really really hope Isaac grows out of his runner phase soon. Its the biggest problem we have, you literally can't let go of him unless you are in a gigantic field (preferably once which he can't escape from). He tries to escape from every house we go to so we have to lock the front doors or he's off. Hopefully he will be like cjay and it will wear off in a year or so.

my ds would just sit down and refuse to walk when reined so I used to carry him like a big handbag

barbie we will all so be thinking of you on the 16th. A big gold shiny star for being brave and dignified. Glad your mum will be there for you.

louey if you can't eat cake now when can you?

cupcake how did you do that with all that cake your dh cooks. did you starve or just use restraint. I think I have heavy bones and they are getting heavier.

vjay way to go girllll said with an american tanned accent. Ace loss you will be back on that bike soon with some better weather too. Hope the boys all feel better - actually i am getting confused with who is poorly cos there are so many bugs around.

blue ipod I cannot buy an iphone cos i would lose it, would fall in the sea like all the others usually do. Yell out some belters this weekend - and food for thought apparantly opera singers burn 2 calories a minute

curly hope cgirl is feeling better poor wee thing. she will be back to bouncing around just like that calpol advert before you know it.

moon just checking to see if you have gone yet? thinging of you.

It was the inquest last week finally which was all a bit of a sjfhjisjsaijfsijf but it is a new week this week and am awarding myself a star and bottle of wine (or 2)
Sorry about your photos mls must put mine onto the thing i bought and havn't used after barbie lost hers.
Waves to lbs gorgeous 4ever and jools who I miss and qa* I expect you are on holiday now but fingers crossed.

the doctors cant see us until NEXT friday have got aaages to get myself into a right old state now :( but df says its a good thing as its my 21st 30th birthday on saturday, im not sure why thats good, but hey. been very teary about the whole thing now we are finally doing something about it and scared in case we get told bad news. and i am not ready to be 30 yet, and i dont feel like im in the place where i imagined i would be by now. being a grown up is crap sometimes.

oooh just noticed i share my birthday with curlys and gracies girls :) i dont remember that at all, i must have been in my own little world when that happened.

mermaid big hugs - that must have been a very difficult thing to have to go through and brought up a lot of sad memories. Did they give a verdict?

moon Its a shame you have to wait a bit longer but I think your DF is right - enjoy your birthday and try to forget about the appointment and all that entails.

Haha louey I just looked at that link you put up (couldn't look on my phone) love it :) one of us should definitely get in there and explain! I want to join some other groups now!

mermaid I know, it's pretty much torture trying to be good with dh's baking to contend with.
And in case anyone is actually interested all I did was not eat anything sweet at all during the week, have only one treat sometimes two at weekends, and have a salad with some kind of protein for lunch (no carbs) + lots of walking ..couple of lbs a week lost and yippee :)
Sorry to hear about the cegfuqegbfkje inquest :( onwards and upwards.

moon hand holds for you. Can totally understand you being emotional, you're totally putting yourself out there by going to doc's and actually dealing with this all, it's bound to be scary. But remember you've been pregnant TWICE before, it WILL happen again, I don't doubt that for a second. I literally can't wait for the day we're all celebrating your baby's birth :)

louey - also looked at the link and also answered for me what the PESH and BESH threads stood for

We must be up there for number of consequetive threads... So we started in Sept 2008... Someone (Vjay) do the math I would reckon about 20-25?

LOL at your DT's being like dogs in their reins. DS1 didn't tolerate them either and used to just stop a la mermaid's DS. at you carrying him like a big handbag . I just used to carry DS1 everywhere as I'm a big softy and it was good toning for my arms .

mermaid - hope your star is shining and your bottles of wine chilling after getting through last week's ffffhhhgfff.

moon 30 is nothing. Park your PLAN for the weekend, kick your heels up and start writing your questions for the doc when your hangover clears next Monday. Happy b'day for Sat.

Benjy's been il, full of the cold but on the mend today. Slept in with me on Monday night and (white) duvet was like a calpol masacre yesterday morning. Lilac streaks everywhere. My hand to bottle to spoon to baby co-ordination is not good at 3am .

Lol at hand to bottle to baby coordination , blue mine is not good at ANY time, unless I use a syringe I spill it every time!

I joined Emmsys in September 2008 too but I think it was going before then, the weebles was added later for 4ever. I will advance search Emmsys in a mo and see what comes up.

mermaid how are you, not too drunk I hope

Right back in a mo....

Nope can't seem to make it work, but there have been ALOT!

ok - so why was it called Emmsys's?? I understand the weebles bit.

blue poor Ben . I had to come home early from work as Luke has come down with a temperature although now he seems as right as rain....

Calpol makes a hell of a mess. We used syringes for ages and had to literally pin Luke down to get it in him. He used to projectile spray it back out again. Now he requests it

Have sore throat, bleurgh. Can't be doing with illness. Have too much work to do!

Hi vjay hope you are all ok up there!

Emmsy is a person - I think it was her friends who started the MC chain that we all joined after she had left. I came accross Emmsy on another chain - if anyone knows better, let me know!!

All is well in the LBM house - BabyBelle is eating for England and we are planning DS's 6th birthday party for week afte next ,. Lego theme and should be lots of fun!

Hope your boys are better soon, louey

Got to go - lego to buy!

"Emmsy's Angels" was started in Sept 2008 by an 'Emma' in the MC section for 'mummies of lost angels'. (I had just had my first mc and it was top of mc topics but I wrongly thought it was for stillbirth so didn't open thread until 'invited' by Villagemum in the Nov...). Think Buddha (formerly Mollie) was on original thread but it moved onto conception. Barbie was also on original thread but stayed in MC and kept the name. We stayed in MC until 15th Feb 09 then moved to conception with the "onwards and upwards" banner and here we have stayed ever since and welcomed 17 (and counting) "Emmsy's Graduates" into the world

Vjay - tried to search and found 3 in MC and 10 in conception - feels more than that tho'!!

DH is away to London tonight and I'm going downstairs to watch 'thirtysomething' taped from new Sky Atlantic channel. I love, love, love that series (first aird in 1988) and as I'm hanging on to my thirties by the thinest of threads thought it appropriate. Michael in it is gorgeous

LBM I'm sure you already have it but DS1 has the LEGO sticker book which has mini LEGO men stickers for all the ranges 'Atlantis' 'Space Police' Harry Potter' etc. Big bonus is it comes with lots of extra stickers and DS1 has them all over his bedroom furniture (fret not they are eay to peel off .

Late night lurk and all nostalgic reading back on history of our thread! Did it only start in sept 08 then, cos thats when i joined after my 3rd mc? () Was sure I lurked for a bit before plucking up courage to post.. Id just stumbled across it whilst madly googling the huge nuchal fold my 3rd baby had, it was the header 'emmsys angels, support for mummies of lost angels' that did it for me, A, acknowledgment i was actually a mummy, B, Emmsys, and you all know my RL name, felt like such a sign!

I wonder how Villagemum is? All i know is what we have here is just so bloody incredible and rare and wonderful, and that you amazing ladies have been the ultimate lifeline and support through otherwise utterly dark and awful experiences, to keep the faith and hope, with all the virtual hugs, hairstrokes, chocolate and many laughs, thrown in for good measure is truly special, to have found genuine friends along the way is truly a blessing, and to have created 17 new lives is truly an actual miracle! Our lost angels will never be forgotten, but the way we have been united by them is just so precious.. As always, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support and I always will.. I hope each of you know you mean the world to me! Love you all lots x x x x x

Im an idiot, should soooooo be asleep, instead found our old threads, part 2 and 3, one where i announced 4th preg, i actually left emmsys to go to preg board after mermaid, vm and annie had all mc again, i was very wobbly and found it hard posting on mc site, then i mc again the next day All your messages of support were so lovely.. Poor mermaid and I were both preg with our 4th together.. Im still determined for your happy ending too hon.. One thing made me particuarly smile was sabs saying she had a dream that she gave birth to a baby girl and saw it as a sign, and it came true! I really must sleep now!

emmsy did get her happy ending, I think she popped in many threads ago to say hello, it was like beeing visited by royalty

I think the very first emmsys thread begun in early sept 08. Blimmey that's a lot of threads ago.

My ds came 2nd in his cross country heat yesterday and is in the County finals next week deffo does not take after his mum who used to do cross country with a fag tucked in her shorts for a smoke along the seafront half way round
He is walking around with his medal on with a big grin plastered on his face.

moon don't panic, we must write your list, have you started? It will be ok, it/x

waves to everyone

Ha ha I remember when emmsy popped in to see us, I felt I had to curtsy

Big well done to your ds mermaid and I did lol at you with your fag tucked into your shorts. I normally walked the cross country and had a natter, so unlike me

4ever your posts made me smile

blue I remember barbie, vm and mm when I first joined the board and I was under a different name back then, I think we joined at about the same time

lbm lego is a big hit in our house too, hope you got some fab stuff

Gotta go it's an open afternoon at cjays school today and I've baked a ton of biscuits for it.
