Just dropping in to say glad you're ok curly apart from the nasty sickness :( thinking of you so much for today, & mls too..will u go public after today?

I'll be at soft play all afternoon so will be lurking on phone for news.

also have to add, baby soclose, today would be a great day to arrive, 11/11/11!

loueytb3 · 11/11/2011 10:00

V quick post from me to wish mls and curly loads of luck today. mls I tried to text you but can't find your phone number - I was sure I had it Confused

Am currently having a coffee outside m&s waiting for it to open so I can start my Xmas shopping. My phone battery seems to be dying though so I'd better go. Will lurk when I can.

4everhopeful · 11/11/2011 10:04

Hey ladies Smile still here too, still lurking, just keeping myself healthily distracted iykwim?!

Mls hooray for sanity saving dopplers! Hand holds for your scan, do you get your nuchal results there and then?

Curly uh oh bad MS again for you? I feel for you but embrace the fact its a great sign... My other Mls free hand is squeezing yours tightly for your scan this afternoon hon..

Lbm you put me to shame with your craft making skills and delectable delights! I'm sure needs must as a mum of 3! (makes mental note, must do better!) Looking forward to the 2nd! Grin

Cupcake glad Jude was ok at swimming this wk! Summers had a few moments when i think the terrible twos have come early but gets over them v quickly thankfully! We got her the nighttime iggle piggle after our hols and she looovvvees him! Whenever we put ITNG on she runs to get him and jumps up and down cuddling him! She is permanently jumping at the moment, she's a human jack in the box! Nanny has also got her the Ninky nonk so I know she's gonna be loving that on christmas day! (along with her peppa kitchen, upsy daisy, ozbozz scooter, holly wand, cookie monster, cupcake highchair/pushchair set, cleaning set and much more Grin)

Louey as you can see christmas is pretty much sorted, forgot to mention books n all! However she absolutely loves her books and we have quite a few, so high endorsements from us! We had the 50 things to do with your baby cards when she was newborn and she now carries them round in a little bag and lays them all out!

Vjay do hope you're ok lovely? Had noted your absence too, fingers xd for your tests, what's the latest with the endo? Good luck with the studies too!

Blue damn those IT people! Had similar selfishness at my old work too! How very dare they! Been thinking about the dreaded 'work' word lately, Confused another reason to be absolutely gutted I'm not giving birth in February, as I should of Sad is that from then I only have one yr of redundancy money left, so financially the timing would have been perfect, however have been doing some sums and gonna try and drag it out for another 2yrs if poss and hopefully have another baby in between! Just don't want to go back to work at all really, take my hat off to all you juggling working mummies out there!

Barbie you have been very quiet too... Have you started getting an abundance of blue bits for Ralph?! What does Dolly think about your bump and impending big sistership?

Gracie we all get the sheer absence of joy or excitement of being pregnant, ill never allow myself to dare to believe until I have another baby in my arms.. When Summer was born all I kept saying in shock, amazing joy and disbelief, was 'she's alive! she's alive!'

Thinking of monkey Sad Relating to superstition as talk of ante natal threads scare me too, joined one with pregnancy 4 and 6, and miscarriages were diagnosed within days each time... Of course i know that's not why, but ill never join one again Sad

Soclose P U S H!!! Grin

Buddha what have you planned for E's birthday? Can't believe he's nearly two! Clearly remember the day he was born cos its my niece/goddaughters birthday too, how was that 2yrs ago?!

Must go, housework beckons, then after Summers nap we will all don wellys and go leaf stomping on our lovely common Smile may even crack open one of the bottles of mulled wine we got yesterday when we get home Smile

4everhopeful · 11/11/2011 10:10

Ooops it was Lbm with the Usborne books not Louey!

X post and waves to you all xxxxxx

BuddhaBelly · 11/11/2011 10:18

Just a quickie to wish Mls and Curly good luck with the scans today sorry to hear you are feeling so rough Curly does make me wonder why I'm trying again Hmm Wink I'd kind of pushed that awful part out of my brain I think! Mls Fantastic news picking up a hb already is brilliant Grin
SoClose Any news???
louey Lovely to hear how well Oscar has just slotted into your little tribe Smile
Cupcake Glad to hear swimming was a more enjoyable experience this week although it sounds as if shopping wasn't Shock Is the incident still not resolved then?
Barbie How are you my lovely?
4ever Hope you are lurking x
Blue Boo to work restricting access Sad gosh 3 years that must mean I've been on here for just over Shock that has gone so fast and so much happened in that time! I was thinking of VM the other day and wondering how she was and if she's written any more books!
Vjay Remember all study and no play makes Vjay a dull poster Wink
lbm Check you out and your personal shopping Smile best way to spend other peoples money Wink

Right back to the grindstone, not much to report here, just about to start the 2ww so look out for obsessing symptoms in a little while Smile

VJayazzle · 11/11/2011 10:32

Grin sorry being a dull poster buddha perhaps we should have a night of me getting 'fronked' again Grin

Good luck today mls and curly

4ever loving all your Christmas plans, I am so excited for Christmas this year as I now have room to put all our decorations and I think Ajay will love it more this year too. No more to report on the endo, the coil takes care of it for now Smile

BuddhaBelly · 11/11/2011 10:55

Vjay Glad to hear no more pain with endo hurray Grin Think it's a good idea you get "fronked" again Smile

I'm the same as you definately looking forward to Christmas more this year, I'm so ridiculously excited about his birthday and Christmas presents!

4ever x-posts, I know 2 weeks today and my "baby" is 2, very scary! Not sure what we are doing yet, might just do a family get together, but dh and I have got the day off with him so planning lots of nice treats like the local soft play centre which he adores but doesn't go to often etc. Can't believe you have your turkey already!!!!! Shock You are so super organised! Work - yuck it's a horrible word at the best of times but when you haven't been for a while and planned maternity instead Sad it's even worse. Hopefully you and I will be on maternity leave together Wink

BuddhaBelly · 11/11/2011 10:56

Oh and Vjay you know I didn't mean that what you post is dull didn't you (I'm sure you did judging by the Grin but when I re-read it I thought it sounded a bit sarcastic [oops] and not quite what I meant! )
(smile)

VJayazzle · 11/11/2011 11:11

Grin you made me laugh buddha

cupcakefairy · 11/11/2011 12:54

Hooray for chatty ladies :)

Another quick hello to 4ever :) wow can't believe how organised you are ShockShock and I was so proud of myself having bought one present for ds GrinGrin that's literally all we've done...apart from decorate some wrapping paper. I made a list this morning of all the stuff we need to do so have my work cut out for me now!
That's sooo cute about S and her igglepiggle...we've just got ds the plush patchwork one but hope he'll love it. He starts singing as soon as ITNG comes on and he goes 'bye bye gug-gug (which means igglepiggle Grin), bye bye!' so funny.

Hi buddha- think the accident thing is just about sorted now, they have agreed a joint liability and we lose some of our no-claims but not that bothered. Was just fuming at the innacuracy of her statements, and she phoned me a couple of times to rant at me (which she's totally not allowed to do Shock) so bit awkward to see her again but hopefully will never have to again now!! Will be shaking pompoms for you on 2ww :)

Hi to blue and vjay too glad all are present and correct (apart from those who aren't...as always, thinking of you xxx)

Fingers and toes tightly crossed for MLS and curly xxx

barbie1 · 11/11/2011 13:07

Just back from the pool, packing for our trip to Abu dhabi tomorrow for the f1 grand prix! Checking in to say I'm lurking for scan news and wishing you all a happy weekend. I promise I will be back and posting more soon.

SabsFabulous · 11/11/2011 14:35

Quick sneaky post to wish mls and curly the best of luck for today. Hoping you get some waves. Have texted curly already but don't have mls's number.

vjay whenever I read something on here about you and I want to let you know I'm thinking of you, I always pick up my phone to send you a text and then realise I don't have your number either.

Waves and hugs to everyone else - not even going to make a promise because I always break them Blush So sorry! Though I do try my best to text people when I can.

GracieGirl · 11/11/2011 14:51

Thinking of you both MLS and Curly. xxxx

barbie1 · 11/11/2011 15:31

Does any one know what time the girls had their scans? I'm 4 hours ahead now so it will be my bed time v soon! Won't be able to sleep until I hear the good news from both!

SabsFabulous · 11/11/2011 15:55
