It's very quiet on here. Thanks for my birthday wishes Vjay, Louey and Cupcake. I had a lovely weekend, DD was fab and so gentle with her baby cousin. We got some lovely photos of her holding him. Very sweet!

Sorry to hear you're feeling rough *Cupcake.

I'm being very over organised this evening. Got to drop DD off at mums at 7:45am, anyone would think we were going away for a week ( not a few hours) the amount of stuff I've packed for her. My clothes for tomorrow are ironed and ready, and everythings in the car ready. Maybe I'm just slightly diverting my nervousness to the planing and logistics of the morning and not the actual SCAN!!!!!! Shock.

There's no Internet signal in the hospital so if anyone's free to update the thread if I send a text in the morning can you post on here so I know who to text. Thanks!!

I'm scared! I've been really good at keeping my head in the sand but this week of cuddling my new nephew has really thrown me. He's so lovely! I need this bean to be a sticky one. Confused

barbie1 · 10/10/2011 04:39

Gg you can text me, I'm home all day. Good luck, not that you need it...oh and have some Thanks and belated birthday wishes.

Will post later, have been feeling pretty low hence my absence. Dh has been keeping me really busy to take my mind of things so I couldn't get here to post. X

GracieGirl · 10/10/2011 05:52

Morning Barbie, completely understand your absence and well done to DH for keeping you busy, waiting is just horrible. When is your next scan?

I've been awake every hour all night. Hmm DH is still sleeping soundly else I'd convince him to get up and watch the Strictly results show to kill some time. (We watch them on iplayer a day behind as they're on at DD's bath and bedtime, and DH isn't usually back from work. We're obsessed! I don't watch tv all year but as soon as Strictly returns we watch them all, including the daily Strictly Take Two shows. I just have to avoid people, radio and newspapers on Mondays till we've watched the results!). Grin

2 hours, 48 mins till scan appointment. Hmm

MummysLittleSunbeams · 10/10/2011 06:59

Eeek good luck GG you can text me too. Remember to have a wee beforehand. Remember to breath too!

Waves & a {{hug}} to Barbie

GracieGirl · 10/10/2011 07:50

Thanks MLS. all hugs gratefully accepted. X

barbie1 · 10/10/2011 09:21

Update from gg.

Baby has a heartbeat but is curled up to tightly in a ball to get any measurements done, so gg is off for a walk about and some chocolate before going back for another attempt in a minute!

Sounds like a right cheeky little one! Grin

cupcakefairy · 10/10/2011 11:17

Gracie yippee for baby's hb & Grin at it not complying for measurements! i'm totally obsessed with strictly too & watch every itt, missing claudia this yr though she cracks me up! We have a freeview+ box so watch once ds in bed, v much recommend it, no monthly fee like sky.

mls i thought u werem't meant to wee before scan? i've always been told they need full bladder Confused only 4 sleeps to go!!

GracieGirl · 10/10/2011 12:57

Hello, just got home. I feel completely bewildered by the morning. All is well but we get ourselves so worked up don't we. I threw up as soon as I got home and now I've gone to bed. DH is organising DD. I just feel rough now. Hopefully after a snooze I may feel I bit more human, and able to think about telling the world I'm pregnant.

Thanks for all your supportive messages and texts.

Dotty is measuring 13 weeks today, so due on 16th April. Smile My ovarian cyst is the same size no nothing to worry about at this stage. 20 week scan booked for the 28th Nov.

bluesatinsash · 10/10/2011 13:14

Just a quickie from work...

Glad all well Gracie

Justine from MN is on Radio 2 right now if anyone's lurking and near a radio

Back later x

bluesatinsash · 10/10/2011 13:18

doh! should have added discussing the MN miscarriage code of conduct...

loueytb3 · 10/10/2011 13:26

Yay gracie glad everything is ok and the little one decided to play ball in the end Smile. Hope your stomach settles down now.

blue will put it on now. Thanks.

Am dealing with a weevil infestation so I have been doing my least favourite thing - cleaning. And Oscar is teething so am not getting much time to do anything

Neeko · 10/10/2011 13:35

Yay Gracie so pleased for you! Hope you feel better after a nap.

Barbie hope you're ok. Have a hug.

Blue Hello. How's B now? All better, I hope. Hope you're bearing up too.

Cupcake Sorry to hear you've been ill. When's your scan?

Louey what's a weavil?Confused Teething is the pits. Hope it passes soon.

Buddha So glad all went well with the op. Sorry I haven't posted before now. hope your wee man is on the up and up.

Moon Still thinking of you.

Hello to lovely Vjay and yay to a finished extension. Well done to your DH. Do you think he could come here and decorate my bedroom? I'm fed up waiting now.

Sorry. Have to run. off to do some xmas shopping online!

cupcakefairy · 10/10/2011 14:34

Just relax now gracie all is well :) you're having another baby, yayy! I randomly called my bump dotty last night! didn't know it was your nn, though doubt it'll stick here as dh gave me this look Hmm ds was titch & we still call him that more than his actual name Grin so feel quite pressured to come up with a good name for this one too.

neeko my scan is 26th oct, couple of days before our 5th anniv so hopefully we'll be celebrating!

VJay · 10/10/2011 15:44

Smile for Gracie

neeks I'll ask him Grin

barbie1 · 10/10/2011 16:10

Hello,
Feels like I have been away for ages, missed so much.
I can't believe the drama we have been having on this thread Shock
blue I remember when d had croup, I was beside myself with worry and it wasn't even bad enough to go to hospital, I hope the little man is better now, you handled it great...I would of been a big, snotty, sobbing mess seeing Din hospital. I hope you are feeling a little better now?

mls yes I can quite see you with another girl Smile
Totally shocked at the treatment you have been -not- receive for dd2, how the he'll can they keep postponing you? Angry at least on the positive side they obviously think it's nothing too serious or they would of had you in sooner. How aere you feeling, did bump make herself known at the pool party or did dd2 manage to keep you covered?

Gracie fab news on the scan, I can understand you getting yourself in a pickle, I don't think any of us will ever have a stress free pregnancy Sad so are you going to make a big annoucment or just casually get on with the next few months? Sorry you are still being sick...I still get days when I feel like sitting in the bathroom and not moving!

louey poor you at having to do some actual cleaning Grin they are bloody horrid little things, my neighbour once asked me to make her some cakes and set over the ingredients, only it was full of weevils and it ended up infesting my cupboard too Angry glad you got the window fixed, there was a dreadful story here last week about a 3 year old who feel from the 80th floor because he wanted to look at his mummy who had walked her 15 year old to the bus stop outside the building, he fell right in front of them and died on the spot. The mother than ran into the building and jumped out too...feel in front of the 15 year old who was sobbing over her brother Sad I know you don't live in a high rise but windows give me the wobbles.

Buddha I hope whatever they found when performing e operation is repairable and offers no long term damage, I see from fb that he is sill a little unsettled...I say give him a little more time. Dolly was pulling at her ears for a few days after and was generally a little off but once everything wore off she was so much better, and to date has had no problems with her ears.

lbm looks like I will be seeing you again feb! We are staying until baby is born...well that's the latest as of today Hmm

So more more to catch up on, vjay, cupcake, 4ever, baking, questions, and moon...sending you my love and I'll catch up with your personals tomorrow.

Latest news is we should be staying until April at least...then moving right to London so dh will just do the odd day in Scotland. Suits us so much more, I just hope things don't change tomorrow!

I have been keeping busy, trying not to think too much about what next week will bring, failing miserably...dh has been giving little projects to keep my mind busy. Baby kicking away like mad, I really hope there isn't a problem.

Well I must go, lots to do...

BuddhaBelly · 10/10/2011 20:00

GG Smile So pleased all went well with the scan, so now it's official how you feeling? Belated birthday wishes for Saturday too Smile
Blue So sorry to hear poor B has been so poorly Sad hope he's on the mend now, our little buglets sure know how to worry us! Glad the counselling has been working out for you though, we need our smiley Blue back Smile
Mls How did the joint birthday party go? Also how's dd2's impetigo? E had that a while back, quite nasty all around his mouth but it went quite quickly (after passing it to me!) Good luck for both appointments this Friday
BQ Belated congratulations on passing your law degree you clever thing!
Vjay "Revision and rum" lovely mixture!
Cupcake Sorry to hear you and ds have been poorly, lovely thought of the car with lots of those Christmas tree air fresheners hanging all over it Grin
Neeko How did the Christmas shopping go? I started mine last weekend, trying to be organised for once in my life!
Barbie Good news that one move has been eliminated you need a little less stress at the moment. I'm so glad dh has been keeping you busy and trying to keep your mind off things, shall we give you all our Christmas things to do, you could shop online for me, write my cards, plan E's 2nd birthday party - anything else the other girls want to add Wink With regard to E's ear they will do some more hearing tests for him to see if there has been permanent damage, so wait and see. Sleep is still awful Sad shouting in anger and temper seems to have got worse Sad really not sure what to do? Might ring HV to see if they have advise as i haven't seen them for over a year

Oh and we've decided that we are gluttons for punishment and are 'not trying not to get pregnant" as Curly (I think) put it, so not sure where that would put me on the list? Smile

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 10/10/2011 21:52

Oh gracie i am rubbish :( I thought that the 10th was tomorrow and came on to wish you good luck but I am so so glad that it all went well Grin

RL is a little nuts right now and I am heading away tomorrow for a week but hopefully will find wifi. Lots of love to you all xxx

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 10/10/2011 21:57

Oh no missed your birthday too gracie Blush

yay for buddha joining me on the small pants bench

must go pack must go pack xxx

bakingqueen · 10/10/2011 22:40

Quick post again sorry Gracie congratulations so pleased it went well

bluesatinsash · 11/10/2011 13:52

Happy Birthday Kitty Violet Smile. Hope you're having a fabulous day and giving your Mummy lots of cuddles x

VJay · 11/10/2011 14:10

Happy birthday lil' Kitty, hope the mls household are having a lovely day. I can't believe a year has gone by already!!!

Hi blue Smile

OP posts:
barbie1 · 11/10/2011 14:12

Kitty can't be a year old??? Shock feels like
It was only about 6 months ago!!! Happy birthday little one Smile

Things here feel a little more settled...enjoying the feeling.

BuddhaBelly · 11/10/2011 14:30

Happy Birthday Kitty gosh that has flown by Smile
Barbie Glad you are feeling a little more settled

I rang the HV today and booked an appointment for week after next, feel like a bit of a failure getting outside help in but can't go on the way we are. Haven't slept since 2 am and lay listening to him screaming in anger for 2 hours again last night and I'm ready to drop Sad HV is a new one thank goodness as the last one was a bit drippy and she sounded really sympathetic. Unfortunately my Mum hasn't been much help she kind of implies it's my fault, she doesn't believe in time out she thinks I should smack but I've told her I don't want to parent like that (she did and I hated it) so I've got her niggling at me but she has also been a star and had him overnight to give me a break too so feel a bit mean moaning about her Hmm
Maybe I should rethink having another one Hmm

cupcakefairy · 11/10/2011 15:52

happy birthday to gorgeous kitty, where did that year go?? hope party was lovely mls :)

barbie fab news you're staying put for a bit. even more fab you'll get to see lbm & introduce ralph Grin

buddha can't say all i'd like to as on stupid phone but massive hug, u sound so deflated bless you :( do NOT feel a failure though, getting help is the best thing u can do for everyone. hope the hv is understanding & can help. btw it was me who was 'not trying not to get pg' Grin

hi curly pompoms shaking for you! must b about 2ww now?

love to all x

barbie1 · 11/10/2011 16:11

Buddha, you. Are. Not. A. Failure! And no way is any. Of this your fault. In fact just the opposite, you have sought help for a problem therefore that would make you an excellent mother. Mums just like to stir up trouble, after all they know best since they have done it all before Hmm take it all with a pinch of salt.
If I had a Hv I would of called her a hundred time over, you are very lucky to have help so please dont feel guilty and make the most of her. I would of paid for super nanny to come and help at one point!

I'm sure it's something that just needs tweaking, an outsider can give sometimes see what we are missing. Chin up my lovely, oh and as for the next one...no two babies are the same, so don't let E put you off Wink
