Afternoon. Am sitting here smiling to myself that you all think I've got PMA! Ha, if only you knew what a thinly disgused mask it is to stop me acting like a fully fledged paid up member of the basket weaving brigade .

Ei Am so with you on how you're feeling hon. It's pants when everyone else is pg and you're not. I've got my 2nd EDD coming up in Oct and I really hope I'm up the duff before then. At least we have these lovely ladies to rant to . Just gotta keep smiling my love. IT WILL HAPPEN. Am off to see my accupuncturist again next week to see if he can work his magic. For what it's worth I'm sending you sticky vibes and some of my PMA .

Scully PMSL laughing at you 'booking in' your DH. Do exactly same thing with my DH. Keep telling him not to moan as he's getting regular sex which is more than his mates are!!!

Emmsy Have you managed to slow down a bit young lady? Can someone else do the driving for you?

Yarnie Good news about the midwife. And not too long til your scan. You'll be seeing beany before you know it.

Kate Woooohooooo. Great news for you. Finally. And yep, would love to be cycle buddies. Let's get the napalm out and blast those damn lazy eggs of ours! Fingers very crossed for you.

Fruity Hello lovely lady. LOL about the hairband and jeans situation . Can remember it well! Did the same thing when pg with DD2.

Mibbes Your break sounds wonderful. Jut what you needed by the sounds of it. Lots of TLC and lovely time with your DH. Lap it up girl cos it don't last for long when the babe comes!!!!

Mollie How you doing sweetie? Glad the GP and your work so understanding (as they should damn well be). Just letting you know that I'm thinking of you. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Righty ho. Better crack on. Laters lovely ladies. xxxx

Sparkly08 · 27/08/2008 17:55

Hi all,
Have had another busy day today...just the way I like it.
Fruity The jeans are just DP ones but they're really comfy and nice.
Ei I didn't realise scary had her BFP. Are you tempted to try the hypno CD? Sending you lots and lots and lots and lots (you get the picture) of love. We'll have a chat later...and feel free to rant away. You know I'm always here to listen xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kate Doesn't it feel great crossing tasks off a list once they've been completed. Sending you lots and lots of productive vibes.

Hi to everyone else.

QueenyEisGotTheBall · 27/08/2008 19:05

hi ladies
sorry for my little rant last night i had an argument with my awful sister last night as she made some really insensitive, ignorant and patronizing comments to me about me TTC and being upset by my failing TC and my MCs she basically said i shouldnt be upset as everything happens for a reason and i should accept it!! i was (and still am) really upset about what she said and cant see me wanting to speak to her about my situation ever again we had such a good relationship aswell but i cant get what she said out of my mind and ever time i think about it i feel so sad and angry at her i believe in fate etc and i know it will happen for me soon it just seems like she is telling me i am stupid for finding things difficult sometimes. she has never been through anything like what i have and she thinks she knows it all and she has n o idea about how i am feeling and still feels it is her place to make me feel worse about things to put it lightly shes an arsehole
sorry for the mememe post i will have a look at the other posts and catch up in a little while
xx ei xx

kate2179 · 27/08/2008 23:25

Ei so sorry to hear about your sister. It never ceases to amaze me how insensitive people can be, especially those who are supposed to know us best. What do you feel like you want to do about it? You said you had a good relationship before, is it worth talking to her about how she's made you feel? When DH and I had a bad patch about him not really getting how I was feeling I ended up saying to him that I would rather he felt the same as me and understood how I was feeling, but that if he didn't I just needed him to accept it, to accept there was nothing anyone could do to magically stop me feeling that way, and to support me. Maybe you should say something similar to your sister? Along the lines that you know she's only trying to make you feel better, but all she's done is to make you feel worse. To say that everything happens for a reason and you should accept it is very short-sighted IMO - that's like saying if someone close to you died you shouldn't be upset because everything happens for a reason... etc. If that was the case surely none of us would ever feel anything? FWIW when we saw our vicar before Thomas was born I asked him whether he thought this was something which was always going to happen to us, I couldn't stop wondering whether our lives would have been totally different had we waited for a month, and he doesn't believe it's all pre-ordained, hapening for a reason. I suppose the only possible reason behind it I can see is to think that your future DC2 wouldn't exist if either of your previous beans had stuck, but until you have your DC2 in your arms (and I hope and pray that day comes soon) I don't imagine that's any comfort to you at all.

{{{hugs}}} to you, I hope some of this makes sense - haven't even been drinking and still talking rubbish

Glad to hear everyone's keeping busy, the best way! Had a nightmare day - I had a conference in STAINES of all places that I didn't know about til the last minute, NOT how I had planned to spend my afternoon But had a very productive evening with DH unpacking the dining room now the decorator has finished in there, and though I say so myself, it's going to look gorgeous

Georgie I think we probably won't/shouldn't try this month, it doesn't look like we'll get all our test results before I OV, and on a really selfish level there are a couple of weddings early next month that I'm not sure I could handle sober - I also couln't handle the questions about why I wasn't drinking... But fingers crossed October will be napalm-tastic! Let us know how it goes with the accupuncturist!

Am really looking forward to out meet-up, not long now! I have arranged to stay at a friend's place in clapham on the friday night so I can get to Wimbledon at a reasonable time on the saturday without having to get up at sparrow-fart Does mean I might be a bit hungover though...

Night gorgeous girls xxx

kate2179 · 27/08/2008 23:48

Ei forgot to say good luck for tomorrow Make sure you come and let us know how you get on! Will be thinking of you

Emmsy1 · 28/08/2008 08:19

Ei reading your post brought back some 'not so nice' memmories for me. When I had my 2nd m/c last april, my sister said, oh well, it's probably for the best, with you already having quite a few children. We weren't even arguing! It is hard when it comes from people that we don't expect it to come from. Your sister may appologise as her words came in a 'heated argument' not that it will take away the pain that she has already caused you to suffer,but hopefully she will think about what she has said, and realise that she was out of order, I do hope so hun, big hugs{{{hugs}}} for a lovely ladyxx Thanks for the offer of 'sorting out' selfish people who are expecting me to do all the driving had to laugh though, if DB hadn't tried to 'sort out' that low life, we wouldn't all be in this mess to start with!
HTGG I have stuck to my guns, and will not pick up or take him back every weekend! Will only do it every other weekend, which really isn't that bad, if he decides to come home on the weekends that its not my turn,then he must ask someone else to do it,so I suppose I am taking it a little easier! by the way,love being called 'young lady'
Kate glad your feeling a little better at the moment
scully I remember 'booking' my DH in, and now he's cast aside like a pair of 'sweaty socks' don't think he's that bothered at the moment though, he probably needs a few months to recuperate, after all he is 48!
fruity hello hun, sorry to hear that you had a fall. You must take it a little easier, we want that beanie to stay stuck! My children don't help me much yet, Emma likes to have a go now and then but can't expect too much as she is only 5 Boys are lazy little monkeys, remind me so much of their dad!I am doing just fine, seem to have more time to get things done when children are off school, they go back on the 4th and Ian starts pre-school on the 11th so will be running round like a headless chicken again then. Most people like it when their children are at school, but I find I get more done 'without' the school runs!
sparkly decided to try out my 'dungarees' again the other day! (stop laughingfruity)
a youngish girl touched my bump (I was in ASDA at the time) and said, "you do look lovely in your dungarees" Emma smiled, and wanted me to tell daddy what the lady had done. I now feel alot better about my dungarees, and will be wearing them as much as possiblemust get my moneys worth! When do you go back to work??

hello to everyone else xxx

FruitynNutty · 28/08/2008 08:50

Morning girls

Thanks for that mental image Emmsy Gotta love those dungerees - Sorry

Ei What a nerve I can't believe your own sister would even think like that let alone say it out loud She needs a good talking to.

Georgie Looks like it'll be a nice day today according to the BBC website. I might take a picnic with me to the park Hope you can still make it! I'll text you in a bit

Sparkly DP maternity are great if I remember correctly from last pg. Most of my maternity stuff from last time round is for the summer so I might have to invest in a few winter items this time. It'll be nice not to be huge during a heatwave, we've timed this one well haven't we!

Hope everyone else is ok today. Piper, Scully, Kate, Mibbes,
Mollie-how are you holding up? been thinking of you loads xx

scully · 28/08/2008 11:40

Well bloody hell, for all my booking him in, he was too bloody tired last night And he is away tonight with work, so of course I just get a positive opk 10min ago Last night would have been perfect.....we will bd tomorrow night but hopefully that won't be too late
Not impressed with his slackness though, I've got to say.....
If you like your dungarees Emmsy, then you should wear them It's all about comfort when you're on the larger side
Sorry to hear about your unhelpful chat with your sister Ei, some people just don't get it until they've experienced it themselves.

piper84 · 28/08/2008 11:58

hello lovely ladies

EI at your sister, its amazing how insensitive some people can be, one of my "best" friends fell pregnant last year by accident, i wasnt upset by it,(well not much anyways) until while talking to her a couple of weeks after her son was born, she asked me , oh are you still trying? i'm so fertile........ i dont even need to try, this coming from the girl who smoked like a chimney and drank all through her pregnancy

Fruity at your good weather, it is crapy weather here, grey clouds everywhere please send some sun thisaway please

Emmsy i always wanted a pair of dungarees too as soon as i am preggos i will be getting a pair

Mollie how are you feeling hun?

Was down to see my chief bridemaid yesterday, she has the most beautiful 1 yr old son, i got some new wraps to go with the bridesmaid dresses and see wanted to see what they look like with the dress, she tried on her dress again and it turns out she has lost a good bit of weight put it back on !!! i am not jealous at all of course

Tested yesterday to as well , not FMU and got a BFN, had a temp drop yesterday too as well, but a rise today, i suppose i will have to wait and see

Big waves to sparkly kate HTGG scully and everyone i havent mentioned

HeyThereGeorgieGirl · 28/08/2008 14:32

Hey there chaps. Just got back from a morning in the park with Fruity and her gang. My DD2 is totally in love with her DS and was wailing when we had to go home.

Ei I bought some Bach Rescue Remedy yesterday. I really think it's helped to even out my emotional state. Just wondering whether it might help you a little too? Really sorry to hear that your sister is being so insensitive. It's horrible when people that are close to you hurt your feelings, all in the name of trying to make you feel better. Maybe she needs to hear how hurt you are by her comments? Or maybe you need some space from her until you've calmed down a bit? Not that there's anything wrong with being pissed off with her. (((((((HUGS))))))

Emmsy I used to have some red satin dungarees in 1982! I thought I was the poodles noodles. Beat that .

Piper Sorry about the BFN. But as you said to me, it's not over til the fat red lady sings!

Scully Boooooooo hissssss to your DH. Too tired? Lame excuse! Let's hope that tonight is THE night for you .

Kate Think you've prob got the right idea love. Start TTC when you feel ready and it's not selfish to want to go to these weddings with a bit of dutch courage inside of you. Did you bump into David Brent in Staines? .

Mibbes Sparkly Yarnie hellllllooooooo.

Mollie Hi sweetie. Still here waiting to be of help if you need us. We're keeping your seat warm for you as and when you need it. xxxxxxxxx

MollieMooma · 28/08/2008 14:49

Hi guys, just to say I'm not going to come on MN for a bit, need some space. As wonderfully supportive as you all are, I'm finding it difficult as so many of us got our BFP's so close together and now I can't share the experience. I hope that these horrible negative angry feelings will leave me shortly as I will miss you all, but everytime I log on I end up crying and it's just not doing me any good.
Love you all, miss you all, speak soon x x

FruitynNutty · 28/08/2008 14:50

1982 Georgie! I was 3 years old! hehehe . I used to have some right dodgy dungerees at that age though. My mum used to dress me like a boy! I'm going to buy some of that 4head later.
I finished off those brownies and I had the last slice of cake I found in the fridge, I feel quite sick now
I asked DS if he enjoyed playing with your DD and he said "yeah" I asked him if you DD is his new friend and he said "yeah" - typical boy, one syllable answers! Don't tell Sparkly's DD though! Don't worry, there's room in his heart for two lovely ladies
How is your DD Sparkly? Have you told her about the new baby yet?

FruitynNutty · 28/08/2008 14:51

Aww Mollie completely understand, Don't be gone to long though! xxx

Emmsy1 · 28/08/2008 16:24

mollie I totally understand your reason for wanting a break from m/n, I will miss you, take care of your self and feel free to return when you feel up to it.xxxxxxxxxxxx

well, I'm a little upset at the moment, decided to go and pick our new fish up a day early, and have just bumped into a parked car in their car park I had the 4 children in the car and I was really shaken, not much damage to either car but no doubt it will still cost the earth to sort out. The car was from a paint and body repair shop! I gave my name/number and registration to the manager of the shop, and he has said that he will pass them on to the driver of the other car. My excess for accidental damage is £250 so feel sick to the stomache and waiting for a phone call off the 'other' driver, my DH will hit the roof when he finds out, good job he's working overtime until 9.oopm as couldn't face him at the moment This is the first time that I have had an accident that is my fault, so don't make a habit of it, but really feel like poo and wish I could have a large G&T to make me feel a little better

cricri · 28/08/2008 18:09

Mollie Completely understand why you want to have a break Come back soon though and look after yourself xx
Emmsy Sorry to hear about your accident in the car park Hopefully the damage to the other car is only superficial and won't need much work on it. Understand about the excess though - our little run around car was damaged in a supermarket car park earlier this year and the selfish little so and so didn't leave insurance details so we had to cough up the £250 excess to repair his damage. Witnesses got a registration number but the police weren't interested at all. I'm still about it all as you can tell! I've also managed to scratch our big car twice since I've been pg - DH is not impressed! Waiting until after the baby is born to sort that out...
Ei Really sorry to hear about your sister's comments. I hope she's had time to reflect on what she said and apologises. As somebody else said, some people just don't get it until it happens to them. (((Hugs))) to you and hope all went well today.
HTGG If we're talking about dodgy fashion sense, I had a red and gold disco suit in 1982. I thought it looked fantastic
Scully Sorry to hear your DH was uncooperative last night. Best of luck for tomorrow night
Hope everybody else is OK despite the lack of sun - what is going on

cricri · 28/08/2008 18:12

Just wanted to clarify that we have two cars because DH works shifts and has to drive to and from the station at weird times when there aren't any buses. Not very green at all I know

FruitynNutty · 28/08/2008 19:00

Emmsy* That sucks. You're very good to leave your info though. Most people wouldn't have

I've just found out that neither of my mindees are coming in next Thursday as they are both away, which is fabadoos! because I've got 2 appointments to go to. One in the morning to see the Endocrinologist then my 12 week scan at 3pm. So, I don't have to drag all the children with me! Yipee!

Cricri I bet you looked amazing in that gold suit hehehe

Sparkly08 · 28/08/2008 19:01

Ei Had a quick chat with your DH earlier. Glad appointment went well. Enjoy yourself tonight. xx
Emmsy Can I have a pic of the dungs? . I'm not back until 29th September so still a few weeks. Need to start doing some work - oops!! Sorry to hear about your bump. Try not to worry about it too much..if there was only a small amount of damage they may not contact you and you could always get a quote for repairs without going through your insurance...this might save you a bit. Hope you're not too shaken up xxxxxx
Scully Bloody men!! I really hope you catch the egg this month. Good luck!!
Piper Hellooooo lady - long time no speak!! Sorry about the BFN but fingers crossed you've tested too early. Sod's law should kick in now you've planned to get married .
Mollie Am so to see you go but completely understand why. Please don't forget us when your feeling better. Sending you so much love and strength. Will miss you xxxxxx
Fruity DD has a cough and a cold but she's doing ok. Haven't told her about the bean and don't intend to for a long time...my EDD is such a long time away for me, let alone her - she expects everything to happen tomorrow and it's still early days although 8 weeks tomorrow...woohooo!! How are you?

Hi to everyone else.

FruitynNutty · 28/08/2008 19:29

X-posts Sparkly Aw I hope dd is feeling better soon. Good luck not letting her find out about beany! DS had to come with me to my scans so he guessed. He keeps telling people I have a big fat tummy cos there's a baby in there. Thankfully not mentioned it to any of the mindee parents, yet! I've been trying to keep him away from them. Wow - 8 weeka already! that's quite a milestone! MC greatly reduced Im fine, my knee still sore if anyone touches it - usually DS

QueenyEisGotTheBall · 28/08/2008 23:43

hi ladies
mollie to see you taking a break but i totally understamd your reasons xx i hope you are feeling better soon and if you need anyone to talk to you know where i am {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}
fruity have i missed somethin?? when did you fall?? i hope you are ok i havent heard from you for a while
emmsy sorry to hear about your little bump i hope you are ok
hi to everyone else
well i had my appointment today which to be honest wasnt what i was expecting at all i had about half of my blood drawn for testing and then was told the nurse who was supposed to see me and speak to me about my situation had decided to go home early knowing i was sat in the waiting room so they have given me an earlier appointment for my results and consultation with the top specialist in MC and womens health so i came away happier than i think i would have otherwise i have to wait for my appointment to come through the post they were really thorough and really nice to me so my fears of bein turned away were unfounded
hope everyone else is doing well
xx ei xx

hi everyone,

Just back from the park and made pizza'a with the kiddies which are cooking nicely atm

Ei That sounds fantastic Seems like you are finally being taken seriously. So if it wasn't for that nurse leaving early you might have got more useless information. Now you can finally get to the bottom of this
It wasn't a bad fall btw, just slipped over on the main road, nearly doing the splits. My knee saved me [ouch] and I could barely bend it for days. Fine now though

So so quiet in here lately, what's everyone up to?

Have just been out for lunch with DP. Hes's back at work on Monday (I'll be glad to see the back of him after 6 weeks and it means that I'll finally be able to get some work done!!)
Fruity At least people won't think your just getting chubby with DS around. My DD often says, "You've got a baby in your belly haven't you mummy?!" But I just reply, "No love!". I think she'll be excited when I finally tell her.
Ei Appointment with a top consultant sounds fab!! It's about time you got some decent care from the NHS. Hope you're feeling better today.
