barbie1 · 21/08/2011 16:49

Thinking of you moon we will be here whenever you are ready to talk xx

loueytb3 · 21/08/2011 16:51

Oh moon big hugs. It must be bittersweet, I know it would have been hard to go and see her and give your DN a cuddle. We're all here for you xxxx

loueytb3 · 21/08/2011 16:52

Waves to barbie sorry you are in limbo land still and hope it cools down soon x

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 21/08/2011 17:27

Oh moon you poor lovely, that must have broken your heart Sad. Please don't give up and don't leave the greenhouse. If it's any consolation I'm still here. I just got a BFN Sad. I know it's different because I have been blessed with my gorgeous girl but at least we get to sit on the same bench xxxx

GracieGirl · 21/08/2011 20:01

Oh Moon, thinking of you, you are being so brave, we are here if you want to talk, or even just to natter about anything.

Curly I'm sorry you got a BFN, I was hoping we could have our babies on the same day again! Big hug. Next month is your month!

Hang on back in a sec...........

GracieGirl · 21/08/2011 20:10

I didnt get a PM, who is strawberry?

Big hug Barbie, I hope things get sorted soon.

Anyhow, I told DH before he'd got through the front door!!! I'd spent about 2 hours peeping at the window for his car to pull on the drive. Trust there to be delays on the M1 when I'm bursting with news to tell DH. DH is really pleased, if a little shocked!! We've told my parents and brother & SIL. Dh's parents are away so we'll tell them when they return.

Afternoon sickness has started already....... Puke!

Hi all.

Moon Have another huge hug from me. I hope this all gets easier for you soon. Take care.

4ever Know we've been texting but hope you're doing ok. This thread can be so bittersweet at times.

Strawberry Hello and welcome to the thread Wink

Buddha FWIW I'd do the op, but i know how scary a choice it all is. Rooting for you.

Curly Boo to a BFN. Hope it was a dodgy test.

Vjay I'll be thinking of you and Ajay on Tues. A necessary evil but a scary one nonetheless.

Cupcake and LBM Happy holidays.

Barbie Hope you're keeping ok and the stress isn't getting to you.

Monkey glad to hear you enjoyed the meet up. hope things are moving for you very soon.

Louey how's the smiling going? You are sooo busy all the time! I'm in awe.

QA Can't believe how far on you are. Hope you're keeping well.

Blue How you feeling about this week?

Gracie Congrats.

DD1 was wonderful on her first day of school on Thurs and i was really proud. She looks so grown up in her uniform and is loving school.
I had a huge wobble on Wednesday night Blush (but it'd been a bad day - stated back at work, H teething and had temp of 103, ben up from 4.30am with H, almost crashed on way home cos stupid man pulled out in front of me as I was hurtling down the by-pass, stressing about my wedding dress (see below)...) about my baby growing up, but only shed a few proud tears on Thurs and I'm so happy she loves it. I'll try to add a pic in a minute.

About the wedding dress... I had it dry cleaned after the wedding 9 years ago and stored it under the bed in acid-free tissue etc. DD1 was asking to see it and when i took it out it was covered in big brown marks. I was distraught and the dry cleaners weren't very helpful initially. I believe they packed it before the cleaning fluid was completely dry as the tissue paper and box were still perfect.
Anyway, they eventually agreed to clean it again and, luckily, it's fine. I'd advise the rest of you to have a peek at your packed-away wedding dress if you have one though.

Off to try to upload pics of my school girl and my lovely ensuite now.

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 21/08/2011 21:00

Big hugs Neeko and SmileSmileSmile for your gorgeous girl x

I love chocolate cupcakes vj send us over some then Grin

No AF. Day 33 which is weird but I expect it'll come tomorrow Sad

bluesatinsash · 21/08/2011 21:17

Evening,

Should be ironing name tags onto various peices of school uniform but wanted to check in as only in work one day next week and won't have time for normal catch up over lunch..

Curly - crap and double crap about your BFN... Remind me, do you temp or use OV sticks? We need MLS back to give a quick flip chart overview of carpet bombing your eggs with the little blighters..

TST or should that be strawb or thief, hmm not sure which one rolls of the finger tips best... Smile. Yes Scottish schools back but we have been off since 24th of June, yes JUNE! Took Isaac and his best pal to see Cars2 and treat tea at Macca D's to celebrate end of hols.

Vjay - Is it Tues for Ajay's nut test? Big hand aqueeze, he'll be fine and you're in expert hands x

Buddha - belated Hugs for your shitty day last week, you never forget the 'silent scan' when no-one says anything for seconds that feel like hours then there faces change to the fixed "I'm so sorry" look... Have you decided re: the op for E?

Moon that took alot of heart and courage to see your DN, it feels unbearable for you just now, but its nearly Sept and clomid time xx

barbie - hope the world stops spinning soon and you have a firm plan of action. Hope your bean is snug as a bug.

Neeko - I can't see your photos! You don't have a line under your name Confused. Fantastic news that M had a great first couple of days I had my wedding dress cleaned but sold it 4 weeks later Glad you got the stains out and its all OK. ?Sorry to hear about H's teeth and lunatic driver.. Angry. I'm feelng fine about Tuesday thanks, we're meeting up with friends from the estate and walking to school (its only 5 mins over the hill). Praying for a nice day Smile. A new era as begun!

4ever boo to rubbish weather yesterday, I'm sure you made the most of it in your wellies. You and your DH always manage to have special days out here and there, its jus tlovely Smile. when do you meet with your consultant? I hope its before you go to Cyprus and you can begin a new chapter with (whisper) and new plan XX

Right, le ironing board awaits x

Neeko · 21/08/2011 21:48

Out of .time for new ensuite pic. Will try to get back on tomorrow

4everhopeful · 22/08/2011 10:07

Moon you poor brave lovely, my heart totally goes out to you, its just so hard, you deserve a BFP so very much and you will get one sweetheart, you will... September is nearly here and remember us ladies that have been with you every step of your journey, will be with you every step through your announcement, pregnancy, birth, and beyond, and we will be rejoicing and celebrating beyond belief! Keep the faith, hard as it maybe, I'm sending a hug with an extra squeeze of strength to help you survive these hard few days of false smiles and aching heart.. x

Curly hon, the way those little sticks can twist your emotions eh? Crap for you, but it will happen, curly girl was sooooo worth the wait after all! Grin For those of us that have been trying but not trying Confused a BFN determines how badly or not we really want it doesn't it? In your case I don't think you're in denial anymore! Before my last pregnancy Sad i had a few BFNs i actually felt a bit relieved about, think as soon as Summer turned 1, i knew i was ready...

Vjay hope you're feeling ok as you can about tomorrow? As usual the build up to any anxiety inducing event is usually worse than the event itself.... Have you a little treat planned for afterwards? Big hand squeeze if you're needing one today..

Strawberry Grin loving it! Understanding totally, but secretly missing your alter ego!

Barbie really feel for you having to endure all this stress, so not needed, on a plus side would be so lovely to finally meet and get our girls together, Kingston really close to me, and I can vouch for Kingston hospital cos me and my dad were both born there! Grin

Neeko sweet lady, so glad M enjoyed her first day at school, that's gotta help the whole heartwrenching process massively, you must of been so proud! Shock at your wedding dress though! OMG! Gonna check mine now... oh and thanks again lovely... x

Blue so you're all ready to roll with your little baby becoming a big boy tomorrow? Nice you have someone to go with, I'm sure there will be proud tears nonetheless! I haven't pushed speaking to my consultants tbh, but will be, I'm going to ask for steroids in a future pregnancy, they are given for natural killer cells and will dull my overactive immune system, also, if I'm pregnant again in the next few months, the treatment we had should cover us, if it takes a while, we will have more treatment, but if that fails (god forbid) we won't do the treatment again.. So, we do have a plan, albeit a self made one, however as the next pregnancy will be my 7th, think I'm the best qualified for plan making! Confused Definitely straight back on it though, in fact had intense ovulation pain at the weekend, so we avoided sex as def need an AF first, but that may well mean I'm ovulating again while we're on hops!

Wink We conceived our 3rd in the same place so you never know!

Buddha have you confirmed to the hospital you are going for the op yet and made your plan? Once Bs on tge road to recovery will you be joining the growing number of us on the reinforced small pants bench? Shock Wink

Louey any smiles yet? I'm sure there just round the corner but they are so momentary at that age you could just be missing them!

Well luckily on saturday it turned into the most beautiful afternoon with blue skies and warm sunshine so i got to wear my summery little dress and strappy heels after all! Had a great time strolling along the south bank and Summer absolutely loved all the street performers, especially the big bubble making man! We all pigged right out after, it was fab!

SabsFabulous · 22/08/2011 14:05

A very quick one from me to give moon the biggest hug. Your time will come, I just know it.

Congrats to grace. Hope you're keeping well.

Sorry this message can't be longer (doing a sneaky post when I'm meant to be working!) but have got another busy 2 weeks ahead of me. Thanks to those asking how Ramadan is going. It's gone so fast and we're going to spend Eid with my nan as it will be the first one without my beloved grandad Sad

BTW I didn't get strawberry's PM so I don't know who it is - though I do have my suspicions. Would be grateful if someone could forward it to me.

Promise (I know as always Blush) to be back soon.

P.S Are any of our cyber nephews and nieces In The Night Garden fans? We're taking S to see the live show for her birthday. I can't wait to see her reaction! I don't know who's more excited, me or her Grin

Right, really must go, otherwise I won't stop Grin

thestrawberrythief · 22/08/2011 15:07

sorry lovely sabs i did indeed forget youBlush glad you are ok.

It is really hard doing the firsts of everything, my thoughts to you through Eid .xx

VJay · 22/08/2011 18:35

sabs ajay is sat right next to me watching in the night garden as I type Grin hes all snugglednon his pjs and sucking his thumb. I'm going to join him now Smile

OP posts:
GracieGirl · 22/08/2011 20:33

Just a really quick post to wish Vjay good luck for tomorrow, I hope all goes well, I'll be thinking of you.

Also a quick question, those with older kids, what age did you put them in a bed? At 18 months DD seems no where near ready yet, just planning ahead.

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 22/08/2011 22:35

Hey just came on to hold vj's hand for tomorrow. Try not to feel crap, you are just being a lovely mum xxx

moon I hope you are doing okay lovely lady. Massive hugs from me xxx

sabs I can't wait to see you after Eid. I'm so sad for you not having your beloved grandad around but I'm sure it will help your nan a lot to have you and the ever gorgeous Saara around. Thanks for the text today. when is the live show for in the night garden? I bet curlygirl would love it :)

4ever wise words as always. AF arrived today, the stoopid bitch :( But I am on a mission, it's lovely being on the small pants bench with you, I'm so glad you are back on the horse Grin I reckon the hols will be great for you. I'll race ya to the medium pants bench xxx

blue how did it go today? I bet you are a proud mum :) No sticks or temps yet for me. We are trying to just enjoy dtd but another few months and I'll be hanging on to everyone's white coat tails looking for options :)

gracie hopefully us smallpanters will be joining you soon :)

big waves to neeko barbie strawberry cupcake louey and everyone I've missed xxx

thestrawberrythief · 23/08/2011 08:35

vjay and ajay shudder at thought of peanut butter. Thinking of you all and hoping there is a chance that he has grown out of the allergy.
