Louey you are the first one to get a massive {{{hug}}} from me. You poor thing, not only having one stressed out dc who is freaking out at going to school, but then having the guilt of another one in the back of the car, screaming because you've not managed to feed him in the melee. On top of that, being stuck in horror traffic.... I bet your stress levels were stratospheric. On another note - broody 
OMG you wouldn't try for another one would you????! No I'm not going to find out the sex once again, I'm just going to try out every old-wives tale & mn fad to reassure me that I'm having a girl! Disclaimer - that doesn't mean I'd be gutted to have a boy, I'd just be completely gob-smacked!
Vjay you are the next one to have a {{{hug}}}. You are such a strong lady & seem to get tested from every possible angle. I hope everything goes ok at the doctors for both your endo & your gallstones.
4ever {{{hugs}}} to you too. I'm glad you've been able to find some thinking-space & you are sounding quite philosophical about everything.
LBM I take my hat off to you you crafty lady! I'm definitely liking the idea of home-made gift tags, I think I'll be giving that one a whirl with dd1. As for the wrapping paper idea, it sounds great but too much of a faff for me so I'll be sticking to my 10meter roll for £1 from Tiger!! I've just looked up fudge recipe's & can't believe how easy it is so I'll be making some of that. Would the chocolate bark work with dairy milk?
Cupcake was about to say the same as Louey 'it's just a phase, it's just a phase, it's just a phase'. It's easier to say that when you have an older child because then you realise that it actually is just a phase, but when you are right in the middle of it, it seems like your child is going to be stuck like that forever! Have you been using your Dreamgenii cherry? I've just bought one of these. As for a gift for a 3.5 year old, anything to do with Tangled, Peppa Pig or Ben & Holly!
SoClose if you are still with us then please please please do the baking soda test before you pop! We need to have more controlled test situations & as you are about to go any time now, you can be our first proper guinea-pig!
Barbie Glad you are feeling a bit better. Being poorly when pregnant sucks, even more so when you have a lo running around, needing to be looked after & keeping you on your toes. I don't know if you've already said but will you be having another section, or are you thinking about a vbac this time around?
Neeko my Christmassy friend, I hope you'll be trying out some of LBM's ideas too. We'll have to text each other pics of our handywork! I actually had a sneaky peak at the Christmas threads today. Do people put discount codes on there?
Buddha deffo get pre-seed. I'm convinced it helped me every time. It's so hard to not fall back into that obsessive ttc cycle isn't it?
Curly how are you doing? I hope you are not sending yourself round the bend too much.
Blue what have you been ebaying? I've had a really good week on Ebay & managed to make over £100, one crazy person paid over £40 for a pair of well used boots that I've had for more than 5 years!! Needless to say, most of the money I made has already been spent on Ebay purchases!
Not very much happening here except that I'm alternating between looking forward to & dreading the scan next Friday. I have to keep the faith & keep thinking positively.
As always I'm sending out massive {{{hugs}}}, thoughts, hairstrokes & baby dust to those Emmsy's who are mia. I hope you all check in with the thread occasionally, each of you are missed.
Right, I need a lie down after that long post!
