Hey ladies sorry for the absense but I have been busy having a row with DH and also, well just busy. Getting my crochet hook out later for the new Woollyhug venture. and Ive been totally captivated by the Richard III thread in chat. Anyway, I am supposed to be working but I thought I would use my time better by coming on here.

AF is nearly over thank god! Well if I continue to spot I might have to get the drugs out. Dh has apologised for not taking SWI seriously for the past few months and has said he will stop the alcohol? See if that happens (that wasnt what the argument was about). The argument was silly and trival but had me in tears, thats all Im going to say really as dont want to dwell on it. I will be having a chat with him this weekend about how we are going to get on with swi.
I have my scan date its a week monday and its at the hospital, so hoping that I will be seen by someone who doesnt mind me asking questions.

poppet and green yes please join the secret facebook group, your more than welcome, all photos are private as are posts, and you can say anything there and breath a sigh of relief that its not public.

green I want to give your family such a big hug, and ask also if I can be adopted by you? I would love to live on a small holding!

blue set up the facebook page, but if you pm me with your real name or a link to your facebook page then I m sure I can add you later this evening. or when ever you like. wtw that is a brilliant idea to have a facebook account with mumsnet names! Totally annoymous then.

Anyway really sorry not to name check, I shall come on here later tonight, after Ive baked my blackberry crumbles and pay you lot some proper attention.

KleinePoppet · 14/09/2012 15:58

Oh green... your poor boys, and poor you and DH, and poor poor little Merryn. I can't think what else to say.
(So I will send you some sympathy Thanks and a big hug, and then PM you about Facebook.)

fan sorry to hear about your row with DH. Obviously different, as this was before we lost E, but my DH and I have also had the alcohol-ttc argument in the past.
V v glad you have your scan date - and it's quite soon, too. And even if it's with someone who DOES mind if you ask questions, well, just plough on regardless: you're entitled to ask everything you want to.

Will double-check with DH that he's happy for me to show photos of E on FB and then set up a new profile if he's ok with it. Strange, feels like taking a bit of a step for me - I can't bear to think about seeing all my friends' photos of them having fun/baby scans/newborn pics/pretty little baby girls on there. But I WOULD like to see all those things and more from you lot! So prepare to be stalked Wink

Oh has anyone heard from trickle? Hope that she is far too busy having baby cuddles to think of us...

KleinePoppet · 14/09/2012 16:00

babyh does it seem over-the-top for me to wish you both a boy AND a girl in your future?! If I've just overloaded your senses/house/finances, though, my apologies... Grin Personally I would love both. Then I would have three children, and the oldest girl would always be a huge, huge part of why I had her brother and sister.

Babyh200 · 14/09/2012 17:26

Kleine: Loving la la land it sounds a great place..... can't wait to stalk you back...like you said it has to be fool proof though cant let just any Tom, dick or harry off the street share in my beautiful son............

Fan: Hugs to you.....glad your AF is almost over and you have a date for the scan. Sorry you have been arguing with your DH, your not alone chick we all do it.....hope your ok. In fact I've just been told off about slacking off from the decorating again....my DH totally bosses me about at times!!!!

Finally worked out how to look at photographs.....your blankets are amazing your really talented x

Can I join the secret FB page please?

Back later.....got to finish the skirting boards today......so exciting not! Starving now you mentioned Blackberry crumble mmmmmmmmm

fanjodisfunction · 14/09/2012 20:52

babyh didnt make the crumbles in the end, had to freeze my blackberrys. The oven door is broken, so cant cook or bake, booooo.

So sorry some of you are going through it tough at the moment, it really hits you like a train soemtimes doesnt it. Things just seam to pile up on you and well all you can do is stand still. You feel so useless and unable to feel anything but total dispair. It does get easier to focus and react to life as time goes on, but its a tough time before this happens. I want to give you all a massive group hug.

fanjodisfunction · 14/09/2012 20:52

oh and babyh of course you can join the secret facebook group, pm me and I shall add you.

blizy · 14/09/2012 21:52

Miasmum- just popping in to send you hugs tonight. X

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 14/09/2012 22:07

Thanks for all your kind, lovely thoughts of Mia, my friends. Had a huge sobbing wobble today, when the lady who conducted the celebration of Mia's life rang to acknowledge Mia's birthday tomorrow. She hadn't even met Mia, and she still cared. And quite a few others I didn't expect have made contact too. But we do finally have the Mia's Wood land, all confirmed this afternoon, and we have selected a beautiful tree to plant tomorrow. I had to go back to the hospital again this morning for a gestational diabetes test (thanks to my family history!) and I think that didn't help either... Sorry I am not name-checking tonight, just feeling very drained.

KleinePoppet · 15/09/2012 07:21

Oh miasmummy... I am thinking of you and your DH and extended family so much this morning. And, of course - for it surely goes without saying - of your beautiful, wonderful Mia. With much love xx

AngelGeorgie · 15/09/2012 08:15

Love to Miasmum, your family & Mia... Hope all goes ok today xxxxx

Whatevertheweather · 15/09/2012 08:37

Thinking of you so much today Miasmummy and of course your beautiful flame haired princess on her 2nd birthday. I know she'll be watching over you all today in her wood and be so proud of you xxxx

Ellypoo · 15/09/2012 08:52

Much love to mias, I hope today passes gently for you. I'm so pleased that you have got Mia's wood ready in time for her birthday - your plans for today sound perfect.

to everyone - wow there's been quite a lot going on over the past few days!

I would also dearly love another girl - I always wanted daughters anyway, and was so pleased that Nancy was a girl. I feel robbed, and I'm desperately hoping that if things work out this time that we have another DD.

Well I had a major panic last night after I got home - I had a little bit of spotting so am paranoid that it's all going to go wrong, if it happens again or is any worse then I'll find out about the EPU, no messing this time. Still haven't got the scan date through yet - not happy :( tried to call my consultants office when I got home yesterday but there was no answer.

Sorry I haven't name checked - am on phone so it's not easy to scroll back. However I would like to see all your photos & 'meet' you all on fb.

fanjodisfunction · 15/09/2012 09:01

miasmum thinking of you, I hope the day is everything you need and want it to be. May the sun shine bright for Mia.

fanjodisfunction · 15/09/2012 09:02

elly take it easy, have a sofa day. And yes if it happens again just go to the hospital, don't worry what they will think. Thinking of you also.

blizy · 15/09/2012 10:32

Happy birthday to your little flame haired angel. I hope the day is everything you wish for (except Mia of course). Mia, will be watching and be ever so proud Of her amazing parents, family and friends. I am thinking of Mia on her special day. X

blizy · 15/09/2012 10:33

Elly- take it easy today, hoping and praying everything is well. X

Mechavivzilla · 15/09/2012 11:00

Sending love to us all, especially Miasmummy on her special day! Such a beautiful and loved little girl. I am sorry she is not with you physically but her presence is never far. She has touched so many people who have never met her!

Hand holding for Elly if you want it. The hospital would utterly not think less of you if you went in. And if they did, who cares?

I am another who would love to meet anyone on FB! PM me and I will send you my real name.

Having a busy weekend so I haven't caught up properly. I really understand the slight gender preference. It's not that I don't want a daughter, I would be delighted to have any child. But I have always imagined myself with two sons. No logic behind it at all, that is just what life is like in my head. I am sure loads of parents have these feelings, but they are a little more complicated for us.

Wishing peaceful weekends for us all.

Babyh200 · 15/09/2012 11:05

Miasmum: Cant stop thinking about you today. Finally worked out how to look at photos and she is even more beautiful than I imagined. Hope today passes peacefully for you........we are all with you in Mias wood today.....not in person but definatley in heart. Be brave xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Elly: Oh Elly..........my heart sank when I read your post about the spotting....perhaps its just bedding in? Praying that everything is ok for you and your future rainbow xxxxxxxx

Fan: Hope all ok at home. Better get back to the painting before I get told off lol xxx

Kleine and Green: Hope the day has dawned a little brighter than yesterday....its a long road and your not alone on this journey xxxxxx

Hope everyone else ok Back later xx

Babyh200 · 15/09/2012 11:07

PS Will PM you all my details later xx

Ellypoo · 15/09/2012 12:09

Thanks ladies, I'm just so scared.

DH is at work this am, but I might phone the hospital and see what they suggest - think there is a clinic tomorrow am 9-10 so can check that. I'm desperate for this to be ok x

greengoose · 15/09/2012 15:22

Wanted to come on today to say thinking of Mia and her Mummy, little brother or sister and Daddy. We have an amazing sunny day today, and I keep seeing your little girls colours in the clouds. I hope the day is kind to you. Much love. Xx

greengoose · 15/09/2012 15:25

ELLY, just read your posts. Oh my love. I spotted with three of my five pregnancies so far, and they all ended in a baby..... I have everything crossed for you. Please go in if it would help, I have always gone in for spotting, and they have always been lovely, epu expect mums to go in for this. Take care. X

fanjodisfunction · 15/09/2012 16:59

elly I know how hard this is, I have spotted in all three of my pregnancies with Fi's all was ok but with Bungle and Beanbag it wasnt. Just take it easy, and if you are scared go to the hospital, do you have an epu near you? Im holding your hand my lovely.

Ellypoo · 15/09/2012 18:32

I looked up online earlier and there is an EPU at the hospital I had Nancy at, not far away - think ill go in the morning, I've had a bit more spotting this afternoon although not very much, and none overnight or this morning when I was resting. Thanks for the handholding, this is just such a horrid feeling.

KleinePoppet · 15/09/2012 19:09

elly another one here holding your hand. I'm so sorry to hear about the spotting. It's just horrible for you to be so so worried. Have you got a pile of good books or DVDs or anything else, in an attempt to distract yourself till tomorrow? Lots of love to you xx
