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...

Summers routine is totally messed up by her being so poorly at the beginning of the week, finally went to sleep at 10.30pm I am beyond tired, these last few days have all rolled into one, I've been permanently on duty, no respite even at night as its totally messed up her sleep pattern and have been wide awake for 2hrs at a time around 2ish, Dh gets up at 6am, I'm absolutely hanging... Don't know why in fact, I'm even lurking or posting as should be grasping a sleep opportunity, but did lurk and was gonna answer barbie & all this blurbed out instead, do excuse me, I'm slightly delirious!

Anyway, Summer in a vest and long sleeves too, chunky cardi or coat when out, however last fee days have dropped the vest and we are in for a warm spell, however your poor babbys are used to arabian sun, so i suggest layers!

Ladies my eyes are actually watering with tiredness -

Blue no hi tops, not even back then, but did own a few flourescent cycle shorts, classy eh?! Skinny jeans and heels was saturdays attire!

Vjay and Cupcake a weak wave as I fight my eyelids no more...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

blue you're right about the people born 50+ years ago when awareness was just not there. In fact one old lady I used to work with said 'it's funny you never had autism around when I was young' in a rather accusing tone. What she didn't realise is that autism was around just not diagnosed as such.

4ever hope you managed some sleep.

Yep but a very grumpy girl here this morning, actually that probably goes for both of us!

Vjay that's what I was saying about my nan having dyslexia, she's 85, in her day she was just seen as 'stupid' & made into the homemaker and cake baker whilst my great aunt was seen as the 'clever' one who went onto be a headteacher, its very sad and unfair, the divide remained between them their whole lives and now my nans developing dementia, so my aunts feeling of superiority to her is now even moreso.. The lack of understanding of it back then has repercussions that lasted lifetimes.. Things are hugely different now thank god, look at that list of celebs that have it, the help that's out there now is absolutely fantastic and it sounds like Cjay already has some fantastic people around him, his lovely mum being one of them of course!

Coooeeeee right must read back a bit.....

Oh dear that shows how long it's been. Must change my name too.

MLS hello! Good to see you.

Ha ha good to see you feeling so festive mls

Well I don't have a hope in hell of catching up with two and a half months of chat do I?

Moon How lovely to come back & see you are here too. Really pleased you have a consultant appt tomorrow too. Get ready to kick some golfing butt girl.

Cupcake I've now officially reached the 2 stone mark & I've 9 weeks to go. I hoped to keep in under 2 stone in total but I guess that's not going to happen . Have you decided on a name yet?

Barbie I know I wasn't here when your gorgeous ds was born but we've been in touch on fb. I wasn't sure if you were moving back to the uk or just coming back for a break but now I realise it's permanent. Please don't be too hard on yourself esp with you losing your temper with your dd. It always happens when no 2 comes along, you think it never will but it does. You listen to yourself & think "shut up ffs" but it's almost impossible to control!

Vjay Sorry you have been sent yet ANOTHER challenge to overcome, if anyone can overcome it it's you.

Neeko belated {{{hugs}}} for your sad anniversary last week.

Everything is ticking along nicely in the MLS household. I'm 31 weeks tomorrow - not quite sure how that happened. The girls are both well (btw so sure I'm having a boy next) & dh is behaving himself & not doing my head in too much! As Blue said we just bought a Volvo 4x4, bloomin expensive having a 3rd dc as the back seat on most cars only fit 2 child seats.

Right, now for that name change........

Good luck for tomorrows appointment moon

mls I'd be lucky to keep it under 4 stone at this rate! Yep think we have decided the names but need backups just invade! Dh has agreed to discuss this properly soon! You? Think I said before I would absolutely have sadie as a top choice were it not for stoopid Jude law & sadie frost! Annoying. Ooh will be exciting if u have a boy!

Thinking of you for tomorrow moon

Anyone see obem last night? The bit that really made me sob was the mum saying 'that is nothing!' To her baby's cleft lip when she saw it.. just such a lovely moment that showed a mother's total unconditional love (cos even her dh didn't look convinced it was 'nothing') I felt quite humbled by it was lovely.

Yes I've been watching obem religiously. Quite often with my hands over my eyes going "lalalalala"! Seriously some of it is freaking me out. I felt quite emotional when that girl had to deliver at 30 weeks. All I could think was that baby was the same size as the one inside me. Poor tiny little thing in ventilator.

Another thing that made me v sad last night was catching up with Tuesday's Enders. Omg I so didn't expect that!

No not decided on names yet, dh had the cheek to suggest (seriously) Doris for a girl!! We seems to be focussing more on boys names atm though...

With you in spirit tomorrow Moon Please let us know what happens.

Bout time you were back MLS you slacker!

Vjay Been doing some digging for you and have spoken to my friend who is head of LS and will text/email you soon. Have you been to your doc? You will need a medical diagnosis if Cjay needs overlays/coloured glasses to help with the dyslexia. An optician won't do anything for that.

Cupcake 4 stone with M, almost 3 with H. Stop worrying. It will come off when it's time as long as you remember to stop eating like a bfing woman I forgot! Just enjoy it all.

Blue Have lovely Easter hols when they come.

Have to go because I'm shattered. Sending the Sandman to 4ever and Barbie. I feel your pain!

Sorry if I missed anyone.

to neeko cheeky mare!

Ok iPhone people, as I'm now posting on my iPhone instead of my knackered old laptop, every time I go into mn do I have to go through the rigamarole of coming out of the thread, going back in & then flipping it so that the newest posts come first? Isn't there an easier way to refresh it?

Hi MLS . There is a MN app but I haven't downloaded it yet. I saved the thread as a bookmark on my safari button and it opens it to the page every time .

Hope everyone gets a good nights sleep zzzzz xxxx

Thinking of you today moon good luck

I'll be back later to post properly, Vjay massive apology for missing you on my last post following the dyslexic diagnosis for Cjay. As others have said he has a strong mummy who supports him unconditionally and it's surprising how much that will help him. I know it's another hurdle for him that you would rather he didn't have to face but knowing us half the battle x

Laters

"is" not "us"

Thanks buddha

neeko his teacher suggested the overlays, they are using them and for me to get some to try at home. I've seen some on eBay.

mls I used the app for a while but couldn't get used to it so just use normal mumsnet and bookmark the pages and hit refresh.

Waves to lurky ladies an good luck today moon

mls some of obem freaks me out massively too but it also encourages me.. like the girl pushing out the b2b baby in this wk's.
Sorry I have an Android but pretty sure I have heard people saying there is a way to refresh pages on the iPhone, might be worth a Google!

Thank you so much for your good luck wishes :) I'm sorry I wasnt on here last night to thank you for them - I've been ill all week with a flu bug thing, I've felt awful and have pretty much just been sleeping! In my working life I have never been sent home from work, and I got sent home twice this week.

But the news you are all waiting for...................
I have been given Clomid I am soooooo happy!

Yay moon that is brilliant news

Oh moon that is the best news (well nearly the best )! I'm sure the best news is soon to come! I'm so pleased for you. Now let's get those eggs a-flowing!

moon brilliant news

Fantastic news Moon . Time to get jiggy

moon YES.
First emmsy graduate twins?? :)

Thank you girls am stupidly excited!

I told my sister and the first thing she said was, 'I had a dream you had twin girls'..... I would LOVE twins.

Thank you for supporting me over this tough time, and even though I havent been around much, just knowing you were there was often enough and that I had somewhere to go if I needed.
