fan I think you are wonderful, and very sensible. I hope that taking some time away is helpful. You are totally right - you need to be entirely selfish, and look after yourself at the moment. Really look forward to seeing you back here again, whenever it's right for you. So much love and have some 
too xx
I have missed quite a bit... sorry to anyone who I forget by accident.
little how was the scan today??? Let us know if you can...
blizy I know you're away but just wanted to say, LOVE the FB pics! You look like you're having a great time 
I'm so glad. And, yes, a very happy birthday to you! Have some 
for us
angel hurrah to having heating and hot water again, but poor Phebs. I suppose she must pick up lots of bugs at nursery - it's unavoidable, really, isn't it? But horrid for her, and yes I can imagine that it's not exactly fun to listen to her coughing away, either. Sending her lots of get-well-soon wishes xx oh and I hadn't seen a pic of her, until you put up those photos on FB the other day. GORGEOUS. And I loved how she is staring into the camera in some of them, looking perfectly at ease, but refusing to smile. The girl's got attitude - I like it!!
blue I'm so glad you're having such a wonderful time with Lotta. She is EXACTLY as gorgeous as Ella, which is really saying something! Well done you on the birth - and it sounds like your midwives really ensured that everything went smoothly. Home birth would no longer be an option here, if we ever get that far, but it's lovely to know how well it worked out for you.
mias I should confess that, as I have such a childish sense of humour, I did chuckle at you saying you thought your waters had broken but it was a false alarm... 
But I am very, very glad that your waters are still intact, and that all is well. think of you so often. Nearly, nearly there. I cannot WAIT to hear all about your new arrival in due course. We already know that he or she will be impossibly gorgeous - after all, we've seen the results of combining you and your DH, and it's incredibly special. Beautiful Mia... I am so looking forward to hearing about her new sibling.
wtw hugs to you. Will Holly be back upstairs in her basket tonight? A big step...
And how are you? Any update on your working hours, when you go back - or is it definitely going to be full-time?
elly I was so pleased to read that your appointment went so well - the consultant really does sound excellent. Hope you're feeling much better soon, back on the ADs.
Have been thinking of you; have you seen your friend's new baby yet? If so I hope it was as gentle an experience as possible.
missamel I have been thinking of you too... it's lovely to see you again. It sounds like you've had the results back (whether it was a post mortem or not, I can't remember, but obviously you know more about the placenta now) - I'm so sorry... Of course, like the others, I can only emphasise that you've done NOTHING wrong. But we all understand the guilt. Keep posting about it, if it helps - we've all been there.
So glad you have the appointment coming up in Toronto, too. I hope very much that it calms a few of your worries and helps you and DH to prepare for ttc.
green a big hug for you, lovely lady, and hoping so hard... well, you know. I'll always be hoping!
rainbox how are you doing? How is work treating you? How have your cycles been? I know they were regular before your op, then went a bit awol 
but I v much hope that things have settled.
babyh hi my dear! How are you doing with the decorating, and more importantly, with waiting for AF to come - which, obviously, I hope it doesn't...
moomins I'm so glad you're doing so well. It's obviously been a smoother ride so far than you'd feared... long may it continue (well, not too long; just long enough). Fundal measurements are indeed funny things; E was estimated to be huge, firstly, then too small and needing extra growth scans; then when she came out at 42 weeks she was 7lb1oz... so, bang on average. That said, perhaps you are growing a gorgeously chubby little fatty in there Lots of love xx
spilt hello broody lady and well done on the BF training - what a worthwhile thing to do. I did at your clean-the-loo advice - a good idea!
amy SO glad DS3 is doing what he needs to do in there. Also, that you're still signed off - even if it's making you worry a little bit about the new job - this comes first, doesn't it, and obviously your doctors are on top of things. Keep us updated...
Thanks for the lovely messages. Still getting my head round things; it's not sunk in yet. Have been in touch with our consultant today, though, and am clear on the initial steps that we need to take, if all continues to be well (aspirin, anti-emetics as soon as needed, appts with high-risk midwifery team as and when).
Now have to tidy up, the boys next door are coming over in a few mins - though quite why I'm tidying up in advance, I'm not sure...
Love to all xxx
