Emmsy's ladies lets roll into spring together! Bring on some sunshine!

[4everhopeful]

About time I start a thread! Pom poms still shaking, bumps growing, babies and toddlers talk a plenty, while the support, laughs, hand holds and weebling continues...

Oh no mls that is bad timing, and what with the law of sod and all that, you'll be pushing come Friday xxx

Oh noooo mls :( definitely not what you need that's so rubbish. We know another tot with it at the mo am worried ds will come down with it.. here's hoping your girls won't be too ill with it, and will just be nice & cuddly so you can have a bit of rest!

yes, but MLS, if bubba arrived on Friday, dd2 will probably be much better and dd1 won't have got it yet, so it wouldn't be that bad

Only joking, hun, rubbish timing or what. Clearly dd2 is going to make life difficult for her sibling from the outset - hope she isn't too itchy.

lbm yes you are right, Friday might be ideal, don't think it's gonna happen though! Btw your description of babybelle sounds just like my dd2. She's such a handful at times & always gets her own way. She gets away with murder but I love her all the more for it!

Well her spots have doubled today but thankfully it doesn't seem to be bothering her much yet. I spoke to my midwife who was very reassuring about the baby but depending on when I give birth & whether dd2 has caught it, my girls might not be able to visit me in hospital.

cupcake how are you feeling?

I'm fine! A few rubbishy tightenings today. Hoping sweep tomorrow & a little help from dh might get things moving for my due date, that would be lovely but I fear I may have my hopes up too high :(

Glad dd2 seems ok so far but would be :( if they can't visit you.

We just saw the Queen! She's visiting the high school at the end of our rd that DH went too! We stood there waving our flags on the roadside and had a great view as she drove past, Summer obviously had no idea what all the palava was about but waved her flag excitedly shouting Yea! Feel quite patriotic now! Can't believe she was practically on our doorstep!

Ah 4ever that's so cool :) she was just round the corner from us a couple of weeks ago too :)

sweep today was a non event..no change, and afterwards she booked me in to discuss induction with consultant on Monday :( makes me desperately unhappy to think about going through all those discussions & decisions again & the waiting & then the induction itself.. please send prayers & labour vibes for a baby by Sunday ladies!

told you, cupcake, she is just waiting until Friday - don't worry, 18th is the day and 4ever don't tell my dh but that is cool!

v exciting news today - we have tickets to go to the olympics. Kids dead excited - however I do have to point out that it is a sport I had only heard about yesterday !! Womens handball it is for us - on the olympic park just me and the older dc's - all very excited!!

Ooohh 4ever and lbm exciting times

cupcake and mls are you both ok?

June's issue of trail is now on sale, there is no link to the page cjay is in but if you go to the second to last page when browsing, he the wee chappy in a red coat up cairn gorm, "not just his first Munro but his first ever mountain!"

Hello lovelies! Marking is done - yeeha! -so I'm back in the land of the MN and dreaming of the shoes I'm going to buy when my marking money comes in!
I'm currently crossing my fingers that Cupcake goes into labour imminently and MLS hangs on until DD2 is better.

Vjaythe proudmummy Go Cjay! That's fab and I'll definitely be browsing the mags in Sainsburys this week.

Buddha sorry the evil witch got you. Next month will be your month. Who could deny you a bfp on your 40th?

Moon I've lost track. Should we be pompom waving at the moment [wink}

LBM I have had a few giggles at babybell. She has clearly heard the saying "if you're not fast, you're last!" I particularly loved the Legoland tales. H is becoming much better now that her speech is improving and both DDs are playng really well together these days (how i hope I haven't jinxed it!) We're even getting regular sleep atm though I have given up any hope of the bottle leaving our lives in the near future. I'm enjoyig H more everyday and cherish our time at toddlers on a Tuesday. I've waited over 2 years to be able to boast like this, but it's bound to be my downfall
I'm very impressed by the present recycling. I'm too weak in that respect.

4ever loved the queen story and at Summer waving her flag.

Blue lol at your words of wisdom: "cupcake and MLS Bounce, bounce or lunge or shag, whatever you think best "
Really looking forward to our meet up.

Hi neeko congrats on finishing the marking and yay for new shoes! :)
No sign of imminent labour here so looks like this one won't be in the 5% born on due date!
Hoping lbm's guess is the right one!

mls hope dd2 is doing ok.

Hello ladies! How is everybody today?

cupcake are you bouncing?? Any more twinges? I had some funny twinges this morning but they didn't amount to anything & when I was sat on the loo earlier I swear I could feel the baby's head pressing against my pelvic bone.

4ever lucky you seeing the queen, I was listening to all of it on bbc London yesterday.

neeko yay for finishing your marking & dreaming of new shoes! All I want atm is to be able to wear my flip-flops, sadly looking out of the window I have no idea when that'll be.

vjay will I be able to get that magazine down here?

moon are you on the 2ww now?

Well I'm finally coming out the other side of the chicken pox horror. Dd2 was really ill with it on tues night & we all only got 2 hrs sleep what with her crying & burning up all night. She's absolutely covered with red scabby spots now but seems to be over the worst of it & only woke once last night at 3am.

Big waves to all the lurkers.

mls so glad you're over the worse of the pox, all ready for tomorrow , and yes you can get the magazine down there

mls yep still bouncing at every opportunity.. lots of brisk walking pushing buggy too but nada happening :( trying not to get too disheartened as I know I'm only 1 day over but dammit I'm ready to have this baby!
Glad the worst of pox is passing..hopefully dd1 will get a v mild case so u have it out of the way for them both without too much trauma!

Keep bouncing Cupcake. It has to be doing something...

I'm lurking more frequently now to check on new arrivals, you must be so excited mls and cupcake!

I am on the 2ww but I can feel signs of af on her way :(

But on a happy note, I get married 3 weeks tomorrow I can't wait! Have my final dress fitting on Saturday then thats everything sorted and I'm ready

Big waves to everyone

moon doesn't that mean that if you are not pregnant this month, you'll be in your prime spermination window when you get married??

Aaah moon I was just thinking the other day your wedding must be coming up that's sooo exciting!!! And yes a honeymoon baby couldn't be more perfect (except for if you're pregnant this month obviously!)
Ooh good luck with everything I love weddings!

Damn this heartburn. It has me up every night. Plus feeling rather crampy.

*m

moon I didn't realise your wedding was so close, how exciting

mls how are you now, has the heartburn eased?

cupcake I'm thinking positive pushing vibes ~~~

Happy birthday notsobabybell 2 today have a fun filled day xxx

Happy 2nd Birthday wishes to our lovely little cyber niece babybelle! Hoping you and your mummy Lbm have the bestestest day!

Cupcake sending positive vibes across the ether for an imminent arrival! Who'd of thought this time 2yrs ago as babybelle was born and you and I were about to pop that you'd be doing exactly the same thing 2 yrs later almost to the day?!

Mls cramps?!?! Do hope DD2 is now on the road to recovery?

Moon heaps of babydust coming your way! How exciting that your big day is only 3 wks away! Life has a funny way of panning itself out y'know, so I'm absolutely sure you will get your perfectly timed Bfp...

Vjay I looked at Trail magazine ala Neeko stylee in sainsburys but forgot you what page you said! I shall avidly do so again next wk!

Neeko hooray to finishing your marking and a huge splurge on new shoes!

Blue are you still caravanning? Hope your having a lovely break if you are! Really looking forward to ours...!

Buddha positive vibes coming your way that a holiday baby is made ready for your birthday bfp!

Waves to those I've missed and the lurkers!

Barbie hope you're settling in to your new home and manage to pop back on soon...

Curly you must be blooming and thinking about bag packing!

Sabs hope you're enjoying your new house and despite the weather Saara is getting a chance to enjoy her new garden!

I'm taking the opportunity to post as Summer is having a lie in(!) She has been awake at 6am on the dot with Dh for the last wk or more, typically I couldn't get back to sleep! That's despite the fact I'm absolutely shattered from trying to plan her party, and our holiday 2 days after it, I'm befuddled by the weather and what to pack, I'm used to holidays meaning bikinis, shorts and pretty dresses! Also thrown by having to think about a holiday food shop, which as said is to be combined with a party food shop! I'm just hoping the rain stays away for both! Off to a very overdue hairdressers apt later so looking forward to some chill and pamper time and the rare chance to read a couple of mags! 2nd week in a row its been daddy daycare ala Blue though last wks was for a rather less glamorous trip to the dentist! First the housework beckons, once sleeping beauty has arisen!

X post!

Morning Vjay!

Morning ladies & happy birthday to little jojo! Hope she has a lovely day. 4ever I think I'd have been slightly if I'd known I'd be doing it again 2 years later! Enjoy your hair appointment, am jealous! I'm in desperate need but don't want to book one now will have to wait til after baby.

No sign of anything here..although think I must've lost some mucus plug last night it was a rather dramatic amount (sorry tmi!) So still praying for this weekend! 3rd sweep in the morning.. meh.

Happy Friday all!

Happy Birthday babybelle Hope you have a fabulous day xx

Vjay after much faffing in WH Smith I found 'Trail' and flicked through til I happened upon Cjay's photo I've stood at that peak but got there via cable car not on foot! Well done again, its a great photo too xx

Moon eek! three weeks til your big day, I've known a few brides who were knocked up by their wedding day so fingers crossed [smle]

4ever I'm so with you on the what to pack to holiday in this country scenario. We regularly go to the caravan at weekends and you can plan what to wearish but we're due to go back for the first fortnight in Julyand I'll basically have to pack flip flops - wellies and EVERYTHING in between - harrumph! Majorca last year = maxi dresses and sandels

cupcake - good news re: mucus plug! Maybe your sweep will crank things up a gear? Remind me is today your due date?

MLS - glad the pox has peaked, your DD2 looked a wee soul from your pics, really concentrated on her face .

Neeko - great to hear you savouring quality Mummy and H time and that her sleeping is better . Can you believe our DC1s have almost finished theuir first year at school ? Yay! to marking being over too x

TFI Friday, 6 hours til wine o'clock and Greys/Smash double bill
