Emmsy's ladies - 4 years of weebling - still going strong!

[4everhopeful]

Here's to us ladies! Proud to be part of this - onwards and upwards..

Ps sorry that was short and sweet, I'm not so good with the words, but another wordy emmsy will be along soon I'm sure xx

Rumours ill take the hug and short and sweet words anytime thank you x

Hope I haven't killed the thread
Just to let you all know that Moon has taken a step back from us for a while, she had an appointment last week that knocked them back a bit so she's going on her honeymoon to relax. Hopefully she'll be back sooner rather than later but sends her apologies for not posting

Popping my head round the door to tightly squeeze buddhas hand.. So sorry to hear you feeling so low my lovely, such a double edged sword, horrible to feel there might be something not quite right, but also positive steps forward to a possible solution and plan... You know I'm totally getting you, & the desire and ache as each month passes without success, especially when as you say, it seems so bloody easy for others, heartwrenching to put the pram away, I remember mermaid getting rid of their cot, but with a teensy bit of help maybe needed, you are now upping the very strong likelihood your DH will be clambering back up to your attic to get it back down again in the very forseeable

Thanks for letting us know about Moon too, hope she bounces back from honeymoon, even better with a bfp, know she was due on, hope it never arrived

Rumours handsqueeze of admiration for you too, how did the visits go yesterday? How you coping? Be great for you all to have DH home and go do your visitings... that you have christmas practically done and dusted already, I'm itching to start...

While I'm offering hands, one for Blue too, hope things are improving and its fresh starts all round..

Cupcake & Neeko how's the dieting going? Found it easier this week, sneeked a peek but only lost 1lb5 so far, official weigh day sunday so hopefully another 1lb by then, first weeks always gonna be the most dramatic loss, if only it were like that every week, I could stop in a fortnight!

Waves to everyone else, had to take 5 to post after a quick lurk and catch up.. RL taking over at the mo all a bit draining tbh but swings and roundabouts eh?

Hi ladies..
neeko yep am still feeding ds2...to be honest this time I'm looking forward to stopping; I liked bottle feeding ds1 once we moved onto them and the fact other people could do it... breastfeeding is a lot harder once you can't just sit down in front of an ep of Grey's Anatomy and relax! I'll start stopping after Christmas.
Diet going well still...another 3lbs off this week! 4ever yeah the first week was the biggest loss for me, but this week (wk 5 I think) has been the next biggest loss.. which I'm surprised at as I ate cakes last weekend! Maybe the exercise is starting to pay off. 12.25lbs in total so far which I'm v pleased about! Almost a stone :) well done to all the other dieting ladies too!

buddha not self-indulgent at all, you know you can say whatever you want here. I'm so sorry you're feeling a bit beaten down by it all :( I think we've all wished we could know in advance how long it would take and what the end result would actually be...could save a lot of heartache :( really feel for you. So hard about the pram...but it will be down again soon I'm sure of it.
Thanks for letting us know about moon too, really hoping she has an amazing honeymoon.

rumours hope you're doing ok strong lady x

4ever you ok? How's your sister doing?

We've had varying degrees of success with the potty.. we're only asking him to sit on it before bath and we get a wee most days, then the other morning he asked to sit on it of his own accord and weed, quite proud :) not going to give it a proper go til after Christmas though, just getting him used to it!

Yay the school hols have started, no more school rush for two whole weeks and one day

4ever meetings went ok thanks, speech and language therapist can see something, I just asked her and she said there is something, his behaviour is similar to others she's looking at. Time will tell

Does anyone else's 2/3 years olds trash their rooms? Ds2 has done it twice this week, he's grown EVERYTHING on his room onto the floor!!!

Right need to go I've just seen ds2 run naked past the door...

Cupcake Hope you have more success than we've had with potty training. It's not been going well at all we're back in nappies after a week of 7/8 accidents a day
Rumours Glad the appointments went well, still sounding chilled Have to say no to the trashing, luckily he doesn't even do it in temper but I hear you on the nakedness! as I type he's doing his "naked dance" I'll leave the rest up to your imagination
4ever Thanks for the squeeze

Forgot to say I'm now officially one whole stone lighter than I was in July

Well done in the weight loss cupcake and buddha, I managed to lose 2 pounds this week, so quite pleased with that. I've ha to do a 16 page questionnaire about ds2 since he was born, and it's really hard to remember stuff, so that has helped to keep me away from the biscuit barrell
buddha ds2 did his naked dance then said he was cold

Ha ha another naked dancer here too! Near meltdown in sainsburys yesterday cos wouldn't let her strip off whilst shopping!

Spookyrumours loving the halloween name change Once again you seem very together with everything, hope the analysis process doesn't take too long.. I've a 'scatterer' here aka messy not so mush trashing as such but definitely had the odd items thrown in anger at height of a tantrum, also headrams into my bum which I have to try not too laugh at!

Fabby weight loss dieting ladies only seems to be 2lbs for me this wk but have gone from 12stone to 11&a half in 2wks so not bad going

4ever 2lbs a week is a healthy loss & about all anyone loses by dieting I think, unless you starve yourself!! Well done. I started at 12st 4.75lbs & want to get back to 10st 2 which I was when I got pregnant.. 11st 6.5 at the mo so a long way to go! But seems we're at about the same weight then.. what's your aim?
At ILs this weekend & of course eating masses so not much hope for this week, we'll see!

rumours glad appointments went well, they seem on the ball with it. Eek at 16 page questionnaire!! Ds1 doesn't trash his room but definitely does get into throwing fits where all the cars fly round the living room

Hey cupcake funny we are both around the same weight and aiming for the same too! I was 9stone when we gor married, but 2yrs and 5 preg later I was 10stone, which is what I was whn got preg with Summer, and I put on 4 stone with her!!! Got back to about 10stone 3/4 by her 1st birthday, pregnant again, and went up to 11 and a half in those 9 weeks, and remained stuck at it, got preg again at her 2nd birthday, and immediately went up to 12 stone... Stuck at it ever since, until these last 2 weeks! MIL reckons now Ive lost weight again Ill be preg again within 3 months! Bloody hope so

Yep, I put on 4 stone with Seb crazy really. I'm sure it will help you get pregnant, all that detoxing will do the world of good, especially having less sugar and caffeine.

you girls are at my target weight, well done . I put on 4 stone with ds1 and lost it all but 1 stone relatively easily. I put on 2 stone with ds2 and so far after 3 years have not lost a stone, it's much more difficult this time, I don't wether it's because I'm a SAHM or I'm under more stress, especially at the moment, but I really need to take action. I'm away soon so will after try something when I get back, maybe set myself a target for Christmas.

That waster to say so far I've lost just a stone in three years!

Good grief I just can't type at all today. Chubby fingers!!!

spookyrumours You killed the thread! Love the hallowe'en name. Hpe you're enjoying having your boys at home. it's only a week's holiday here, starting on Fri. Can't wait!
re the room trashing. DD2 certainly makes one heck of a mess, but it's not in temper. Did at the naked dancing. We don't have that here either. April and your graduation will be here before you know it. Can't wait for pics.

Speaking of holidays, Moon hope you're having a wonderful honeymoon and are able to press pause on the sadness and just be a lovely couple in love.

Cupcake Well done on the weight loss and the feeding. You always sound so chilled and together. What's your secret?

4ever You've done so well on the dieting too.I gained almost 4 stones with DD1. I've never managed to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight since DD1 who is six but I've been close a couple of times. This is the time though as if i can't slim for next year's big holiday, I never will. I lost 3lbs last week which I'm really pleased with. Ultimately, there is still a stone to go, but I'm taking it in baby steps. Next target is to break the 11 stone barrier which is 1.5lbs away. Bet your MIL is right. Fingers crossed.

Buddha Never berate yourself for not 'just' being grateful for E. Of course you are grateful but maternal satisfaction is something that can't just be switched on and off. Yes, it's easier in a way because you have what someone without a child wants, but in some ways it's harder because you are more fully aware of what you're missing, you know you've done it before so there's no logic to being unable to do it again and you have the added frustration of feeling unable to provide E with a sibling. The desire to have a child is all encompassing when it's not happening regardless of the reasons or how many children you've birthed before. Give yourself a break. You feel what you feel. The feelings are hard enough without heaping guilt on top. xx

I've had both girls at home for 2 days. DD1 has an ear infection but the antibiotics are kicking in and she'll be back tomorrow! Cabin fever is driving us all insane.

Heard from a wee birdie that Iggy has had a baby boy. another Emmsy graduate - yay!

Now I've killed the thread!!!
Where have you all gone?

Oi! Get back here!

How're the hols going?

good thanks, we were meant to travel back today but are heading up tomorrow, will give you a wave as we go through the central belt.

Please do. I'll be leading an inset session to other staff and trying to dodge the daggers they are throwing at me - just like i'm trying to dodge preparing for said session by faffing about on MN!

Have a safe journey.

Thanks neeks. Just print off some mumsnet classic treads and hand them around your session, have a giggle and some cake

Somehow I think the Head wouldn't go for that and it wouldn't train my colleagues in teaching Literacy. Shame. Sounds like much more fun
