littlebellsmum · 14/03/2011 22:16

Happy birthday Vjayjay - Oh, barbie that thread was the most fantastic present - I've been shoving my hand in my mouth to stop laughing too loud

louey great news on darth or is he known as lordvader?

Neeko · 15/03/2011 14:12

Hi all.

Happy birthday Vjayjay Hope you had a nice time. Sorry to hear about your troubles with the boys sharing, but know if anyone can sort it you can.

Monkey Huge hug from me too. Blue can put it into words much better than me so I'll leave it at that.

Mermaid Deep breath and book that holiday. Have a hug too.

Blue I'm not ignoring your dates but have to get my lazy DH to decide when he's off. If we don't make the hols then we'll try for a sans enfant meet up one weekend and SHOP! Smile

Barbie Aww to the turtle. Would you like to keep it? Hope things are better with the gorgeous Dolly.

Louey fab news re SEN statement. Keeping everything crossed for your sister. Hope the DTs have a fab party. How many weeks are you now?

LBM You're soooo busy! Hope the much anticipated holiday is as amazing as it sounds. Lol at the 6 years of clothes. I feel I'm always either putting clothes up the loft or bringing them down!

QA Have some more sand and an alcohol free cocktail. Hope you're doing ok.

It's two years today since I found out about my MMC Sad and in two weeks my cheeky little monkey will be one. Joy truly can come out of sadness. I just wanted to remember my little angel here where it's always ok to do so.

4everhopeful · 15/03/2011 19:36

Hugs to Neeko Sad your angel and all our angels will never be forgotten, but as you said, out of sadness can come great joy.. You always said to me through my weebles carrying Summer 'believe and have faith in your bean' and thats always stuck with me, so thank you.. We are all here to support each other always, only we Emmsys truly know and understand.. Thank god for us! X

SabsFabulous · 15/03/2011 21:27

The biggest of hugs to neeko

I think a few of us are coming up to significant dates. The EDD for my lost angel is coming up on 13th April. And I agree, this is the one place where(apart from with DH) I can actually talk about significant things like that and you all will know what I am going through and acknowlege it

I watched last weeks OBEM yesterday night and I was in tears. I thought of you all and was so thankful I had you ladies to help me get through the hard times.

You ladies are the best Smile

loueytb3 · 15/03/2011 21:52

Neeko big hugs to you Sad. Give your DDs big cuddles and especially your littlest monkey.

sabs it does seem as though there are a lot of us coming up to sad dates Sad. My MMC was the 22nd, the day before DTs birthday. Their birthday is always going to be a bit strange for me as we had to carry on as normal for them, but knowing that I was going in to hospital for an ERPC the next day Sad. I think QA and possibly BQ have dates coming up too.

Got to go to bed. I've been up since 3am with insomnia, and then heartburn. DH has now got the bug but thankfully is not too bad (although being a man, the world is coming to an end Hmm. Glucose tolerance test tomorrow, can't eat or drink from midnight!! Not sure how I'm going to survive. I've lost 4lbs in a couple of days from this bug and my bump has shrunk, although I've been eating lots today to try and make up for it. Will try and get back on tomorrow afternoon once I've escaped from the hospital.

loueytb3 · 15/03/2011 21:53

argh my bolding went skewiff

4everhopeful · 15/03/2011 22:50

Sabs my edd for my first lost angel baby was also the 13th April, it would be his or her 3rd birthday.. Ill say it again, we'll never never forget.. Sad

Hugs for poorly Louey, after your glucose test straight off to the bakers for you missy! Get pies, sarnies, and lots of cakes Wink

monkeybumsmum · 16/03/2011 09:12

Aah Neeko, big hug for you. It's so sad remembering and thinking of what could have been, but you're right, there can be happy endings.
Hugs to you too Sabs. Where would we be without MN? This thread has given so much support to so many people, we are all lucky to be a part of it. How is gorgeous S doing?

Louey hope you managed to get some sleep last night? Hope also that you've managed to survive this morning so far - is definately an excellent suggestion from 4ever to go to the bakers after the test... Yum yum yum!!! How is your dh, is he better? Also, forgot to say the other day that I will be thinking of your sister - really hope this round works.

Blue you always put things so well, your comment made me well up a bit. You are so lovely x
Thank you for everyone else's hugs too!

VJay how was your birthday evening? Did you have lots of fun? I do hope so!

I have been thinking about this thread over the last couple of days, and I feel awful that whenever I come on here I seem to have sad or bad news. You are all wonderful for being so, so lovely, but I want you to know that I'm not really all doom and gloom!! I'm so sorry if it always comes across like that! In the spirit of lighter, happier things, we had good news at the appointment yesterday Shock We are starting fertility treatment next week ShockShock I sat there shaking when she told me, was so psyched up for bad news! Will get drugs to take, either clomid or injections (find out next week), then will have trigger shot to make me ov, and then IUI (the one thing DH is dreading!). Am rather excited!

Anyway, hope you are all well and having a good Wednesday! Lots of love xxx

ps barbie lovely link to a very funny thread, I must try to read more of it!

VJayJay · 16/03/2011 09:31

Rushing in for a quick {{{{{hug}}}}} for you all Smile

monkey that is fab news, I'm excited for you too Grin

I had 2 days celebrating my birthday, because dh worked all day Monday, we celebrated yesterday. I am a lucky weeble Smile

cupcakefairy · 16/03/2011 13:44

Hi ladies not a happy house here :( ds has this d & v bug that's going round. We were away visiting friends on Sat and didn't realise he was ill before leaving... he wouldn't eat all day and just flopped on my shoulder then in the middle of a busy cafe threw up all over me, himself and the lady at the next table Blush who was very nice about it bless her. I was rinsing my hair out in the toilets Envy

loueytb3 · 16/03/2011 15:22

Oh cupcake poor little J and poor you. Sounds really rotten. I hope he gets better soon. Why is that our DH's always end up being away at times when you need them. Hope you get the radiator fixed and are managing to have a rest while watching Grays. Love the dress - it is nice that you have a dress that you can wear afterwards. We won't tell your sister we saw it, promise Grin

monkey oooooooooh, am so excited for you!!!! So the lap didn't show any problems then??? So glad you haven't got to wait to start as well, fabby news and I've got everything crossed for you.

vjay forgot to say, they do really cute R2-D2 costumes for toddlers. I was originally trying to get an R2-D2 outfit for Isaac but could only find them for up to 2 year olds.

barbie hope you are having a fun time with your monkey at playgroup

waves to 4ever who always knows what to say when people are having a tough time

Right, back from hospital. All fine now as I had a lovely lunch out with DH who is much better. So glad he got a mild dose of this bug. I did feel very weird all morning though and the sugar drink was just foul. The most exciting thing was that I found Terry's chocolate oranges on sale in the hospital shop. My absolute fave and I have been really struggling to find them on sale anywhere. So I now have bought 2 Blush and I will have to ration myself otherwise they will be gone by the weekend Grin. And I had a much better nights sleep! Lets hope it wasn't just a blip.

Got to go, am now supposed to be working....

monkeybumsmum · 16/03/2011 16:49

Thanks girls Grin Just hope it works!!!

Cupcake Poor poor J Sad Have you got some rehydrating powders or something for him? When ds had a similar thing when he was little the doctor advised giving him probiotics too - we got some capsules, emptied them out and mixed a little with water. It did seem to help... Really hope he feels better very soon. It's so scary when they're poorly like that.
Btw, your dress is GORGEOUS!!!!! I love love love it, and you are going to look fab! What a great idea to mix different dresses together, bet you will get some wonderful pics, and yes please we would definately like to see some!

Louey yuuuuum re Terrys chocolate oranges, you lucky lady Grin I too could demolish 1 (or 2 Blush) in not very many days....

Off to make fish pie for supper xxx

VJayJay · 16/03/2011 17:37

cupcake poor J, I hope he gets better really soon, just make sure he drinks enough and check he has wet nappies, Sad, I really feel for you.

monkey I never think of your posts as being doom and gloom, you come across as a lovely lively bubbly weeble Smile. Enjoy your fish pie Smile

louey I hope those chocolate oranges are in date GrinGlad dh is better, there's nothing worse is there Hmm

There are a lot of sad anniversaries coming up isn't there, mine are in January and June (EDD's),and June and October (the dates of actual mc's) which I seem to remember more, I don't know why.

The snow has gone and the sun is shining, dare I say that spring is on it's way at last???? Smile

BlueMoon1981 · 16/03/2011 19:32

monkey i'm so thrilled for you Grin its all so exciting Grin and its lovely to see you in happy little bubble.

passing through again, hugs for those who need them and Wine Brew all round

BlueMoon1981 · 16/03/2011 19:33

in a happy little bubble Blush

mermaidspurse · 16/03/2011 20:35

monkey oh yes we have a lot of pompoms at the readyGrin

God I am in a foul bad ass mood. My gym shut down overnight and when I asked about our membership s/o etc I got told it was none of my business and as my attitude towards said 'propritor' had been so bad that I should consider cancelling mineShockAngry wtf I only asked her to smile one day last week.
It bloody meant a lot to me that place, got me through 6 bloody miscarriages made some lovely friends, sometimes got quite fit when the mood took me and then some mad woman takes it over and 8 months later pffff.
This is all to make monkey feel better that noone moans as much as me.Angry
I am bloody lovely I am and went out of my way to help the stupid gym bunny - where is the wine vjay

cupcake oh dear projectile vomit in a cafe is pretty classy and thank god for nice people (she obviously didn't own a gym) I so hope you got the leak sorted and ds is sleeping it away.x

neeko am so sorry you are always so lovely with texts, and I missed your anniv. I hope you are ok nestled up with 2 sleepy little girlsSmile

monkey this is all just fab. I love a PLAN in full flowGrin I so knew they would take especial care of such a lovely person.

Wine thank you mermaid for having the forsight of buying 2 bottles for a tenner and placing carefully in fridge for the weekend.

louey hospital shops can often be little gardens of delight. Hope you are ok, you must be exhausted with all the toings and frowings.

Me and the holiday lady decided not to have one this year But instead she is sending me fesh pickings of the new season 2012 which is out in a few weekish and then we are going to plan a fab holiday for next year. Felt much better about it, need to be with my mum this year.

bq high five for being as cool as a cucumberSmile hope you are ok and begining to bloom.

qa please report in lovely lady, need to know you are ok, have some nice innocent smoothie.x

Right off to stomp somewhere else now. As you wereSmile

mermaidspurse · 16/03/2011 20:36

please soneone tell me what a lady who works in a holiday shop is called have brain freezeConfused

monkeybumsmum · 16/03/2011 20:45

Travel agent Grin

monkeybumsmum · 16/03/2011 20:50

Your gym lady sounds like she's lost the plot mermaid Angry What an odd thing to do, to close down a gym overnight... Very strange. Is there anywhere else you can find out about what's happened? Surely they must give membership fees back? Bet you're glad you told the proprietor to smile before all this happened!

Good plan re holiday btw, think it's a very good idea to be with your mum. How's she doing? It is so difficult for them isn't it Sad Great to be able to look forward to a fab holiday next year too Smile Where do you think you'll go?

Off to bed now, got a 5.30 start in the morning, bleurgh...
Night all xxx

mermaidspurse · 16/03/2011 22:10

thank you travel agent of course thank youSmile

So many fingers and toes crossed for you monkey

loueytb3 · 17/03/2011 10:58

mermaid that's just crap Angry. It sounds as though there is something else going on there TBH but that doesn't help you when your gym is a lifeline. Glad you have come to a decision about your holiday this year - I'm sure your mum will appreciate you being there for her.

Waves to moon how are you??

Have already eaten half the chocolate orange and I'm trying to resist the other half...

VJayJay · 17/03/2011 11:55

Wine for mermaid

4everhopeful · 17/03/2011 11:58

Mermaid Angry to the stooopid gym cow.. How bloody crap, know how important and needed a bit of me time is for you, hope someone else much better and nicer takes it over..? Hmm Glad you have made a decision about your hol, agree with Monkey even 5yrs on my heart aches for my mum left all alone.. The desire to protect is inate.. Perhaps you could just have some lovely days out instead over summer? Hope apart from all that you are diddling along ok lovely?

Cupcake soooo Sad and Confused for poor little Jude! That just sounds so awful, bet its shaken you to the core, Summer had a mild dose thank god and only badly sick a few times but terrible runny and constant poos, i honestly felt a bit traumatised by it when i look back, bloody crap timing that dH is away too.. Hope the lil man is improving now?

Monkey Grin Grin sooo thrilled they are starting treatment! That is fab, gives you some control back, hopefuly an imminent bfp is on its way.. It is an amazingly strong feat to keep the faith in the face of adversity, i definately relate, and I just know that your perseverence will pay off with the most fantastic reward.. Grin

Talking of medical matters Moon when do you get your results?

Vjay i just melt at the mere mention of your boys for some reason! Bless the star wars themed party Grin DH is determined that even Summer would love a lightsabre! Hmm How is cjay doing now after the recent upset? YAY to a 2 day birthday btw! Grin

Louey glad the appetite has returned! Also dont think i said how pleased i was that Isaac got his statement.. Also fingers xd for round 2 of your sis treatment..

Barbie hope your in a healthier happier household now? Do you still have the turtle? Grin

Blue are you lurking from work or having a mummy day? Your caravan trip sounded lovely, we were thinking of doing Cyprus in sept but not sure, depends he preg again or not! Confused Have decided may just have a caravan or chalet type hol in the uk instead just after Summers birthday which
