Yay! I'm really pleased everything is going well Cupcake Smile

Ok Barbie, your turn next.

cupcakefairy · 20/12/2011 20:31

Hello ladies thanks for updating Vjay :) yep all was fine and I was chuffed it was measuring with my dates not theirs! They still go by the dating scan date but at least gives me more ammo if it comes to a 'how overdue am I' fight. Fab to know everything is well, so relieved.

barbie gutted you have to wait another day sorry :( hand holds for tomorrow I'll be lurking on phone. Have you seen the latest Twilight film? I went with the girls from my book group and we laughed the whole way through, so cheesy but brilliant Grin

buddha is E better now? Hope so, in time for Christmas. Ds was running a fever for two nights and nasty cough I was so worried he wouldn't be himself over Christmas but seems to have passed now and he EVEN ate dinner tonight off the plate by himself; I was so happy!! :) (he's been awful at dinnertime for good few weeks) sorry about wonky af Confused your 1-day af could've been a breakthrough bleed mid-cycle...where are you at now?

4ever hope you're looking forward to enjoying more of that pink fizz over Christmas in prep for your new year bfp Wink I keep seeing cars with bfp on the number plate so we're definitely due more!!

lbm I bow down to you making harry potter robes Shock can you be my mum? Grin
I just bought fabric today for new moses basket covers...but MIL is making them for me Grin

Vjay I did LOL at the idea of you giggling away at your gingerbread house Grin I've just made mincemeat cake for the first time using some of dh's fab homemade mincemeat...hope it works out ok! Can relate to watching cbeebies while mning Blush in fact ds has been watching way too much cbeebies of late while I get stuff done around the house

Hi blue congrats on the sold out tablet :) I havent heard of it either Blush

louey How's O doing with real food? Hope he'll enjoy a lovely Xmas dinner!

Right, as always, huge ironing pile needs to be done as we're going away...gonna stick West Wing on! Merry merry Christmas to all you lovely ladies, I'll be lurking over Christmas xxx

cupcakefairy · 20/12/2011 20:31

Thanks gracie :) hope you're doing ok too and your dd is all better (think I remember she was ill?)

bluesatinsantastocking · 20/12/2011 20:45

Great news cupcake - all set for a fabby Christmas holiday Xmas Smile

One more day at work pour moi!

Oh and attempting my first home made birthday cake for Friday LBM - can you come round and help me? Xmas Grin

Thinking of you tomorrow barbie x

Neeko · 20/12/2011 21:26

Another Yay for minicupcake! So pleased for you all, and especially that you are right re dates. It's always nice to be told that Xmas Wink Have a lovely time away.

Barbie fingers crossed for good news tomorrow.

Vjay I'd like to see a pic of the gingerbread house too. I gave out our shortbread yesterday and today. went down really well but maybe they were just being politeXmas Confused

JBM Slow down woman! You'll go through Christmas day in an exhausted haze at this rate.

Blue Good luck with the birthday cake, although I'm sure B-boy will love it regardless. I can't believe that he's two on Friday. It has flown in. I still vividly remember your text about the pain ramping up and you clutching onto the chest of drawers for support. I hope B - and you - have a wonderful day on Fri. Oh, and I'm planning to watch Love Actually tomorrow too.

4ever How's your excitement levels? Pass the pink fizz please.

Buddha Sorry to hear E's been unwell again. It must be depressing after him having had the op. Hope the meds kick in in time for the festivities.

DD1's nativity tomorrow Have special permission to go. Another memory moment.

Just in case I don't make it back to post before Christmas, I hope you all have a fabulous one, especially our lurking and missing Emmsys.

4everhopeful · 20/12/2011 22:01

Hurrah for cupcake!! Xmas Grin

Handhold still squeezing barbie!

ItsLoueyALotLikeChristmas · 20/12/2011 22:18

Hooray cupcake Smile You can properly relax and enjoy your christmas now.

barbie argh that they got the date wrong. Tight squeeze for tomorrow.

Trying to finalize xmas food order and losing the will to live, and so is the website it seems Confused

cupcakefairy · 20/12/2011 23:09

barbiecaughtkissingsanta · 21/12/2011 07:29

Just a quick on to update on scan, but first a big Smile to cupcake on her good scan yesterday...happy holidays cupcake family!!!

Scan went well, wish I went to this place from the beginning. Baby on small side but still within range. Seems genetics just means I make small ones Xmas Smile he checked everything to make sure it's genetics and nothing untoward going on. The baby is too developed now to see the band. The doctor said all I can do now is sit and wait.

So another scan in two weeks and go from there....

VJayJingles · 21/12/2011 07:34

Xmas Smile barbie I'm pleased it went well.
Need to go, sorry, cjay was sick last night and need to check up on him , them ring the school, ring his mates mum that came round for tea last night, and ring my friend who was coming for coffee today.

ItsLoueyALotLikeChristmas · 21/12/2011 08:32

Yay barbie!

Boo vjay hope he's better very soon x

GracieTheRedNosedReindeer · 21/12/2011 08:56

Yay! That's great Barbie!!! Smile

4everhopeful · 21/12/2011 09:25

Hooray for double good scan news barbie! A happy Christmas to be had by one and all! Xmas Grin I said to cupcake yesterday that it was a scan i had a few days before christmas that i found out Summer was a girl, fantastic christmas present! Xmas Grin

Ahhh boo to poorly Ajay... Hopefully he will make a speedy recovery for Christmas.... Summer still not 100% as shes still being very picky with her food and a few grizzly outbursts, and awake half of last night Xmas Hmm

Blue how's Bboys birthday plans coming along? Yay to your last day of work for the yr!

Counting minutes til DH finishes on friday, have to pick him up from pub friday lunchtime then collect the turkey and gammon from m&s before going to distribute yet more pressies to nieces and nephew, big food shop tomorrow, just want it to be christmas day, its all a bit too manic in the build up! Xmas Confused Have AF from hell at the moment, glad not to have a bfp cos of sorting treatment/general stress of christmas etc, although obviously having occasional moments where I'm thinking i should be 7months pregnant now.. However lets see what the new yr brings, my little biscuit bum is keeping my hands more than full and even on no sleep at 3am she makes me smile with her adorableness so i count my blessings Xmas Smile

4everhopeful · 21/12/2011 09:30

Ooops i wrote ajay instead of cjay Xmas Blush

Must crack on, sorry for sketchy personals of late, did manage to send a group e mail to all emmsys yesterday with our Christmas card pic of Summer so hope you all got it! Big waves to you all though! X

BuddhaBellyXmasBaubles · 21/12/2011 11:16

Just lost my post Xmas Angry grrrrr
Barbie I am so glad you had a more positive experience this time, sounds as if they're talking more sense regarding size etc, how many weeks are you now? We need to redo the list me thinks Xmas Smile
Vjay Hope Cjay isn't sharing his bug as an early Christmas present? Hope he's feeling better now

E is much better now thanks girls, although his usual cheeky naughtiness has disappeared Xmas Hmm although I'm sure it will be back with abundance! He had his 2 year check on Monday which he passed with flying colours, apart from pronounciation so she's referred us to a speech therapist, I have to say I'm not particularly worried dh wasn't happy about the referral but at the end of the day they are offering help, we don't know what the situation is with his left ear at the moment, so we may as well accept help and they can decide if he needs any extra help.
Sorry for short post, but after losing last post and all my bl**dy Christmas cards! Which I now have no time or energy to redo, work is busy and I'm feeling a little frazzled!
Jbm We did the handpainted wrapping paper by the way last weekend, E loved getting paint all over his feet and hands, it wasn't as neat as I'd like it, I am a bit anal about that kind of thing (I hate the fact he's mixed up the colours of his playdough Xmas Grin but I think the GP's will love it! So thanks for the idea x

BuddhaBellyXmasBaubles · 21/12/2011 11:17

Oh and 4ever no email for me Xmas Sad I've sent you my new email address in private message (yes I did check the old address too) Xmas Smile

4everhopeful · 21/12/2011 11:58

Will mail you now buddha - bless E, didn't know they did 2yr check, like u say, pronounciation surely not an issue fir a 2yr old, not expected to speak like the queen ffs! However, cos of his ears/hearing issue it could be useful... What happened to your christmas cards?! How do you lose them?!

Summer is trying to avoid her nap.... Xmas Hmm
