Emmsys weebling onwards and upwards into summer.

[VJay]

Here we are a new spruced up greenhouse

Any news lbm? I hope your job is safe...

Well we just had a call from the uk, still non the wiser though seems they haven't confirmed the second part of the contract ( the korea bit) and with out that it is pointless going back...so another week of waiting!

Im off to the heart doc tomorrow to wired up and I have an appointment with my doctor because I have had lots of tummy pain and back pain, worried in case it's an infection (not helped by a sad thread on here today which has my in a blind panic) so hopefully I will be reassured that it's growing pains and the baby is ok.

Apart from that it's the same old stuff...

Buddha has a great holiday and enjoy my home county!

barbie I hope everything goes ok for you tomorrow, what a worry. I'm sorry too that you've been advised not to have anymore children, I know you said you weren't planning on having anymore, but like you say, it's not nice having that decision made for you.
I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Buddha have a lovely holiday, you really deserve it

cupcake I bet it was lovely telling your wonderful news over the weekend

lbm hope everything is ok on the job front.

Busy busy week here, the builders were meant to be here today, but didn't show! I just hope they turn up tomorrow. Hopefully by the end of the week the Walls will be plastered and the radiators in.
I've got my pelvic scan tomorrow, dh's birthday Wednesday, ajays MMR Thursday, which I've finally plucked up the courage to do, then that that shall not be named being checked out on Friday, PLUS I'm madly revisismg for my exam in 3 weeks time PLUS starting my next module...... So apologies if I'm not around much

Oh and strawberry I went blackberry picking at the weekend and made bloody jam (which is very nice and one jar has gone already!!!!) all because I've not had your blackberry vodka Recipe yet!!!!! Ps hope you're ok xxx

Only 20 more messages to go until the new thread, normally I would say 'oi barbs come talk nonsense and help me fill up this thread' but I really must revise...

Ha ha I've got us into 'most active convos' all by myself, bit sad really!

vjay lol at you and your onesided convo - I love the idea of bloody jam though, but me too would rather have the vodka. Hope your busy week goes well - remember to enjoy dh's birthday. Maybe it's just me but mine gets very neglected when I'm busy!

barbie Half news doesn't help does it? Hope the monitor brings good news and the pain goes. You know it's probably nothing but we are all a bit sensitive to every twinge on here aren't we?

cupcake Umm yes, BB was also supposed to just fit in, rather than having all 4 of us wrapped round her finger. Delusions are good

Thank you all for your concern about my job - as I thought, it was fine but there are lots of redundancies and lots of friends will be under threat . Been through it too many times and it's not going to be a fun three months but it will be fine, eventually

Hey all just a quick whoop from me for MLS, big hug for vj for tomorrow and a report for my white coated friends - day 29 here. Feels like AF is coming. Due days 30-32 but still hoping

Come back Jools and strawberry we need you xxxx

Well I'm feeling cool calm & collected after my acu session last night. She said my pregnancy pulses couldn't be any stronger than they are at the moment & both the boy & girl pulses are equally strong. In about 7 weeks I'll be able to use the doppler that Annie sent me last year & when I've finished with it I'm saving it for Moon.

Curly it's not over until the witch flies in & all that! If I were you I'd have done at least 4 tests by now!

Busy Vjay have you had your scan today?

Barbie stop reading sad threads ffs! You are worried because you have tummy pain, I'm worried because I don't have any tummy pain (which I had with both girls), nothing is going to stop us from worrying about something. Hope it goes ok today at the docs.

Cupcake have you got any scans/appointments booked yet? I have my initial docs appt on Thursday afternoon. I called epu & they said I'd have to be referred to them by my gp for a reassurance scan at 7 weeks so I'm going to beg for one & if all else fails, cry!

LBM I didn't realise there was such a small age gap between your two oldest. It must have been difficult for you, I'm hoping that having dd1 (who'll be four and a half WHEN this one comes) will be a help rather than a hindrance.

Buddha hope you are having fun in Devon & you managed to find your camera charger.

Right off to make lunch for my little monsters sunbeams now before taking DD1 to pre-school & then coming home to collapse in bed for an hour.

Hi MLS sounds fab re the accu :)
No I don't have any official appointments yet. I filled in all the paperwork at the docs yesterday but they've just changed things in my area so the first mw apptmt is now straight after the dating scan (12w) at the hospital...last time one came to our house at 7 weeks. I need to call the hospital to get a date for it. So I'm guessing you're due May too? Very exciting :)

Hello, just back...all wired up! This thing has to be kept on for 24 hours so sleeping will be fun, not!

Baby all ok, had a very poorly tummy this morning which accounted for the cramps, pardon the pun but once it all passed I felt so much better and am feeling lo kicking so so much. Doctor happy with everything.

Mls, I can't help it...I'm drawn to the sad threads. Very please your acu lady is positive and you are too. I just did the baking soda test and it came up as boy, will have to get it confirmed next week...eek.

Right, monster is due back from nursery any time now, so I have to go...back alters to fill up the thread and start a new one!

Barbie phew glad your cramps were just an upset tum. What on earth is the baking soda test?

Cupcake I'm May the 26th. I'm going to book my first mw appt after I've had my first scan, hopefully at 7weeks. I've had to cancel too many booking-in appointments so won't have one booked-in until I've seen a hb. My heart is in my mouth every time I think of that first scan.

Arrgggh - my post has disappeared I swear I posted this morning to wish barbie luck and its gone.

Anyway, so glad you're ok barbie and it was just a tummy bug. Being wired up doesn't sound like a lot of fun, hope you manage to get some sleep tonight. Do you find out the results tomorrow?? I'm still for you that you don't know what is going on with the move. If I was your DH I would be playing the "don't you know my wife is pg and has a heart condition and all this uncertainty is stressing her out" card. I'm sorry about the loss of TTC DC3, it can't be easy having that decision made for you.

mls we are here to hold your hand (and cupcake's too) for the 1st scan and every other one afterwards. Can quite understand why you don't want to book in until after you've seen the hb. I had a reassurance scan at EPU this time and the GP referred me no problem (would also have played the tears card if necessary). Do what you have to get the scan. Glad your acu treatment was a good one.

vjay at you holding a conversation with yourself and getting it into active convos. You sound like you've got quite a week lined up! Hope the scan went ok today and the builders turned up (bloody builders, nightmare when they do that).

curly fingers tightly crossed for you, and like mls I would have POAS several days ago . Some of you ladies have remarkable restraint when it comes to testing (clearly I haven't!)

LBM so glad your jobs ok, but I know its a horrible atmosphere to be working in a place where redundancies are happening.

Hope our holidaying ladies buddha and 4ever are having a lovely time

Had a busy day today with a uni friend over and we went out for lunch which was lovely . Isaac came home yesterday with 2 wet jumpers, one pair of wet socks and his gym shoes on as a result of "playing with water at lunchtime". His school shoes were absolutely soaked! God knows what he was doing in the water, he might as well have been swimming in it. Not sure what the teachers were doing at the time . He's gone to school today in his trainers. I seem to be permanently washing spare clothes to send back into school.

barbie Hope you are ok, that's a lot of emotional juggling you are doing just now. Hoooray on getting past the half way. A big step! Like louey said it doesn't sound much fun to be wired up, hope it doesn't make sleep too difficult tonight.

cupcake at your Mil, I bet you really were How are you feeling?

curly another set of fingers crossed for you, I too would have gone through several hpt's. Those cheap ebay ones were a godsend when I was ttc.

lbm sorry you have had such an unsettled week at work, great news that you are 'safe' but it is upsetting to see others go through it.

mls Pleased your accu session went well, good to have something to focus on during those difficult early days when you wish time would speed up. Hope you got some rest this afternoon.

vjay from my reckoning, today was your only 'quiet' day! Hope you made the most of it. Such a mix of things for you this week, hopefully you can at least enjoy your DH's birthday. At least you should have some answers soon after your scan and Friday x

louey must be nice to finally have a bit more time to yourself and enjoy lunch with a friend and LO without the DT's racing around! Sounds like Isaac is making the most of the facilities at school How are they getting on generally? How does it feel having 2 schools to deal with?

Hope everyone else ok and the holidaying emmsys are having a good time.

Ds is loving it at school, though is very tired when we get back. i have to admit to missing him, the time after school seems to be go so quickly and he is quiet as he is so tired. I look forward to the weekends even more now. Got an appointment with the midwife tomorrow (rare event that it is 2nd time around!) so looking forward to checking up on baby.

Sorry just a quickie from me, scan was fine coil in place, and she checked other things and said I'd get the results in a week no idea what that was about, but I just needed to pee!
Builders didn't turn up AND I rang them to check they were coming today.

Sorry for lack of personals, dh needs attention

vjay you and your attention enjoy

Hello, just a quick one.

VJay pleased to hear coil in place, let's hope your results come quickly to put your mind at rest.

Barbie I hope you're behaving yourself today whilst you're wired up.

It's official I'm falling to bits! I've been seen at the asthma clinic today as I've been really short of breath. All my readings were rubbish so I've been started on a course of steroids. I asked lots of questions re safety for my pregnancy, but was told my baby would prefer me to be able to breathe, can't really argue with that!
Still vomiting! Got booking in appointment with midwife tomorrow morning, I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow. Let's hope it's not another wasted booking in appointment!

Hello to everyone else, sorry for lack of personals but I feel like crap and need to go to bed.

AF came c'mon Jools and moon and anyone else still in small pants this month xxx

Big waves to everyone andhugs to those who need them

We need someone to start a new thread.. I can't do it on the I pad. Where is vjay? We normally talk crap for the last few post

Im here

Boo to af curly

I'm here too owing a big catch up post but will wait for new thread...

Still signed off work and tiddler free so sitting at PCworking surfing and ordering some snuggly winter clothes.

You still there Vjay ? and barbie?

How are your wires b? Relieved tummy bug nothing serious and echo thoughts about ttc # 3 being taken away from you... In a trite comparison I felt like then when DH was due to get the snip, too final even though we only ever wanted two.... Hence he is still (ahem) fully loaded.

MLS - congratulations , fabulous news and glad you went straight to your accup lady, stay strong. Have you told your DH yet?

Curly - damn AF.... Tempted to use OPK's yet? I honeslty swore by them but some prefer temping and gives you something to do

new thread
