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...

4ever sorry to hear about the bfn. It must be so frustrating. Fingers crossed for next cycle. Hope your cold is better soon.

moon yay to the honeymoon. that's exciting. Hope there's room for 3!

sabs That all sounds so difficult. Did snort at the 50 shades stuff!

lbm Enjoy the beach. We had the paddling pool out today at last.

neeko are you inviting yourself on moons honeymoon?

for 4ever, sorry you had a bfn.

Waves to neeko & rumours, thanks for my muchneeded

Yay to booking your honeymoon moon Empathising with you too on crappy ttc time limits..

Just marking one year today since 5th miscarriage... Can't believe its a year, and that its only 2months since we lost the last one.. Never forgotten, hoping my angel babies are all up there together keeping my dad on his toes!

4ever I can't believe it's a year either, time goes by so fast. It's 4 years since my crap year of miscarriages which really surprised me when I worked it out. I did at your dad being kept busy up there.
My fingers are firmly crossed for you for this month, you too moon.

My kindle arrived this morning! Amazon are fab

...and with immaculate timing AF has arrived, despite being 3days early Huff... Been toddling along ok though really, apart from a momentary blip last wk when I got a pampers 'your baby is 5m leaflet' through the post.. Images of my dad being climbed and jumped on by 6 little whirling angels is definitely a good way to think of them though, and makes me really every time

Rumours hurrah for Amazon! Whatcha reading? Can't believe its 4 yrs for you, and since we all first 'met'!

Sorry all, haven't had time to catch up...planning to do just that this evening.

Freddie was out to sleep last Friday, it was heartbreaking. Dh called frothe vets in tears and told me to pack as we should leave for the uk with in two hours as he just couldn't bear to be at home. so we did just that, forgot loads of stuff but spent a lovely long weekend in bath, the weather was excellent and my best friends wedding was lovely.

We came home to an empty house ad it just hit us all over again, so this week we have been out most of the day, keeping busy and avoiding all the Freddie dog questions.

Also dealing the the shoddy car we bought, massive legal wrangle that I won't bore you without have finally got it resolved this week....only for somebody to go and hit the replacement car in the supermarket car park this morning

I I'll get around to posting to you all later this eve....

Oh barbie I'm so sorry .

4ever sorry af turned up and 3 days earlier to boot, but at least it will be over 3 days sooner

So very sorry to hear your sad news Barbie... Its just so heartbreaking to lose a part of your family and I'm sure your home and heart have a huge Fred shaped hole...

Rumours my thoughts exactly my lovely CD1 & all that

Hmmm just done some workings out on calendar & might just be able to squeeze one extra cycle into timelimit for treatment... Thanks rumours for instigating a 'lightbulb' moment

you go for it!!!

Hello ladies, can I come in?
I have been lurking will do a little catch up but bound to miss someone along the way!
4ever Good news you can fit an extra cycle in, have everything crossed for you
Curly Congratulations on the arrival of baby curly
Barbie So sorry to hear about Freddie hope you got my text?

Bugger got to go promise to be back shortly

Hi ladies.. hi buddha how are you? Hope things with E's nursery a lot better now.

4ever fab news about poss fitting another cycle in! Hope you're feeling ok. Also cannot believe it's a year since you lost your 5th angel.. wow, seems no time ago! So glad you all enjoyed theatre, makes me want to take ds to something like that.

barbie so so sorry to hear about Freddie you poor things :( really hope getting away took your mind off things & hope dolly is coping ok with it.

moon I agree with blue that marriage definitely suits you :) and thus new happy blissful state couldn't be better for a bfp!! Come on Clomid work your magic..

So glad all have been enjoying hols etc, we had absolutely lush day at the beach on Mon, ds1 was just in heaven. I managed to burn my knees though after rolling up shorts for paddling & neglecting to put cream on newly exposed bits!! Massive ouchy but fine now..
We're off on hols caravanning with ils next weekend, can't wait!
Eek, hear ds2 waking so must dash..

barbie so sorry to hear about Freddie. Hope you are alll ok?

cupcake Beach sounded great - we had a lovely day there on Friday - BB had a lovely time running in and out of the sea and just loved it - can imagine your ds1 was the same. She even went in after tea and then came home in her PJ's!

4ever Sorry for sad anniversarys but happy for an extra cycle. Hope S is now fully recovered and exhausting you as usual. BB is going through a jigsaw phase and we are getting a bit bored with her choices - but it's better than havig the telly on 24/7 which whould be her other choice!

I'm off to the olympics tomorrow with older DC's - very excited. Read all the rules and am ready to roll! As we will see team GB are also ready to cheer and have flags, hats etc at the ready!
Monkey and I have worked out we will both be on the olymnpic park at the same time but sadly think it will be too busy to meet up

lbm yep ds1 had an absolute ball & still keeps talking about 'sea, splash in waves!' :) so cute. He's into puzzles too now but also still books in a major way! He recites some of them now which I really need to record! So cute doing We're Going on a Bear Hunt! Have an amazing time at Olympics, what a shame about meeting up with monkey!

Hmph, dh's hayfever making him snore really loudly I cant sleep..and baby will want feeding soon

Oooh lbm Olympics today! How exciting! What are you seeing? Mad coincidence monkey going today too..! Thought the opening ceremony was excellent.. Sounded like a lovely day at the beach Summer loved 'beach beach' when we were in Weymouth, have just booked another wk caravanning in Sussex in sept through sun holidays, hoping its better weather for us!

Cupcake hope you got some sleep in the end! Sounded like you had a lovely day at the seaside too, bless J We have another bookworm here too, Summer has loads! So sweet when they really know a book, she is also a huge fan of jigsaws, particularly her itng and numbers one, quite the mathematician as well, though i think drawing is ultimately her favourite pastime, soooo proud a couple of wks ago at playgroup, I watched in awe as she drew her first face with perfectly positioned eyes and mouth! She's been doing stick figures with round hands and feet for quite a while but not quite getting the face part, now she's a right little picasso, she did one the other day just like 'The Scream!' Another v proud moment is she is finally happily wee'ing in her potty (hooray! ) albeit standing up over it

4ever your dd can draw faces & people?? Wow! That's amazing. Ds can just about get in the vicinity of whichever bit I suggest he colour in but nothing like actual drawing yet, she is a clever thing! Lovely you've booked another hol.. hope there's room for a little one too (no, not me rumours :))
I did get some sleep but feel a bit guilty saying that last night now as poor dh is really unwell with it & was up half the night himself bless him.

Anyway, happy Monday all.. I think this is the last of the sun wales is seeing for this week!

Hmm I just googled 2yr old drawing faces, hadn't realised it wasn't just the norm! We showed her how to draw stick men a few months back and she always draws a head and a thick coloured body, but sometimes the faces are hit & miss, though we have several excellent ones, but she sits there intensely drawing saying 'hands', 'feet' as she draws circles for them, and even 'hat', again, just circles on the head, but its pretty clear! She loves Get Squiggling on cbeebies and also draws 'bumpy' lines really neatly as she says 'bump bump bump' so know where that's come from! Wow, am even superprouder now!

Glad you got back to sleep but poor DH, hope its not the start of that horribly virus you and DS had? Boo to the disappearing heatwave, but at least it should ease DH hayfever to pull a positive out of it!
P.s desperately hoping we have room for a little one on hols too

olympics was amazing - saw GB womens team play in the handball. Great atmostphere and good game, even if we got smashed

4ever v impressed with summer. BB does a good line in scribbling while I draw the smiley faces!

On the phone so apologizes for typos and grammar mistakes...

Sorry for being AWOL (again) I've not been too well over the last few weeks, couldnt put my finger on it bit I've just not been me. I have been bleeding constantly for nearly 9 weeks, had terrible pain and passed some clots (sorry for tmi) it took me right back to my mc and I seemed to sink into a little spell of depression. I have had the most terrible mood swings, forgetfulness and general lack of interest to interact socially, which goes someway in explaining my lack of post. Then to top it off we lost Fred and the same night I found a breast lump. Given my mums history I naturally was frightened and started suffering the panick attacks that I did a few years back as some of you might remember.
Anyway to cut a long story short it seems my pill is effecting me big time so I have have stopped this week and I'm told to expect a few unpleasant side effects until my body returns to normal... My body hasn't been normal since my Mmc way back when!
On the plus side I am feeling slightly better knowing I could have a possible blame for my Symptoms so I just need to get through next few weeks without going mad!

Sorry for the essay just thought you might like to know

On the positive side I'm meeting monkey tomorrow, I'm super duper excited!

Did I tell you about the car accident? Sorry can't scroll back to check, well it turns out that the accident happened way before I got the car and because I didn't check it over before driving the rental car away I want aware of the damage to the front... Proper Barbie moment! Thank god sil speaks French and managed to sort it out before we called the police!!!!

moon for some reason as I was walking into Henry's room after his nap time I had a really strong awareness of you, I think happy things are coming your way. I have had a good feeling about you all day and it's made me smile through my mood

4ever how are things with your sis? I'm so sorry that I haven't asked before but like I said I just couldn't muster any strength to be socialble at all, my bad and I'm very sorry.

Loads more to say but my thumbs are aching from typing on the phone! Will be back soon, night night xxx

Just having a quick lurk on phone and wanted to send a huge hug to barbie for the tough time u've been having. Hope the horrormones settle down soon. Lovely to see a reappearance of mysticbarbie though!
Sorry for missing everyone else. Back soon xx

Thanks Neeko, I met monkey today and the very gorgeous C, he and dolly had a blast! Was so nice to have company today and such lovely company it was too. It was so effortless, felt like an old friend almost felt back to my old self, except the dizzy spells this evening.

How is everyone? We are watching the Olympics and wishing we were uk based so we could be more involved!

Hope you all have good weekends and I hope I haven't killed the thread!

Course you haven't killed the thread barbie so sorry you've been having such a crap time. That bloody pill sorry but makes me SO angry how much it affects millions of women negatively & yet people still think it is synonymous with women's rights and liberation... Erm, no!
So glad you're starting to feel more like yourself and how lovely about meeting monkey. The Olympic fever here is fab, I'm glued to it (when boys allow!)

lbm so glad u had a good time, I really wish I was going to see something now!

Yes 4ever do update us on your sis, hope you're all ok.

Haha, just listening to ds making dh brush his tongue during teeth brushing then giggling

We're going to Brecon tomorrow for a trip on the day boats, can't wait to see ds1's reaction! Happy weekend all!

Hey barbie sorry to hear how much you've been going through it.. Lovely that you met monkey & had such a nice time... Was about a year ago I met the lovely lady too, first outing after my miscarriage, and she did make it very easy.... Btw thanks for asking about my sis, its been a horribly worrying time and she had enlarged heart and clots dangerously close to it but fingers xd she's responding well to treatment and just home from hospital...

Oh and don't worry I'm sure you didn't kill the thread, I'm normally entirely responsible for that, just trying not to be paranoid about it...

Big hugs for barbie so sorry you've been having a rough time of it, but good you are trying to be positive. Thanks for the happy vibes, I dont think this is my month either, but bless you for thinking about us.

Just passing through, happy weekend to everyone.
