HI MJIM - it's always quiet here when I need an ear to bend! I'm about to go off on the school run and then DS1 is off to his party. Thought I would try and be organised and scrape the snow off the car before I go up to school!

Snow just about gone now so going to take DD1 to dancing as they are driving me mad! Untidy is the understatement of the year and I can't face housework at the moment.

Bellie should have her baby now shouldn't she?

What an hour!! It has taken DS2 20 minutes to accept the fact that he is NOT going to Jack's birthday party

No news from Belle yet then?

HC hope you aren't feeling too rough. It is so hard not to stress out about every twinge in the early weeks. Hope the time passes quickly.

Ceebee-still have plenty of sibling rivalry in this house between DD and DS1-think it occurs no matter what the sex. It is swings and roundabouts-think I find boys harder work just because of the CONSTANT energy. Mind you, I watched that Channel 4 programme the other night where they left a group of girls and a group of boys aged 8-11 to live alone together for two weeks. Some of the girls were vile-horrible bullying behaviour on show. The boys spent most of the time unable to cook and crying for their mums!

Detox glad your scan went well.

Hello everyone else

Visited a friend who lives near the birthing centre where I had Jesse today and already felt nostalgic about the birth and he is only 6 weeks. Met one of her friends who, not realising we were talking about my son, said to me 'What sort of a name for a boy is Jesse? It's a girl's name'. She was very embarrassed to discover that was my son's name. This was at my friend's local village toddler group. Was very glad to scuttle back to Brighton where boys can have long hair, girls' names and do ballet if they like!!

Evening ladies

No snow here, just drizzle !!

Had a tiny bleed today but knew it would happen, i am also going to try and keep level headed from now on and not symptom spot too soon, i really thought it was going to happen though !! Never mind, i can at least use the clearblue fertility monitor i got on ebay, and the preg tests can go back in the cupboard Id even splashed out on the digital ones !!!

Good luck to Bellie even though I know im a bit late in the day, hope it all went smoothly xx

HC Fantastic hun, 6 weeks already xx

Willmouse Fandabidosi you found christening pics, i also would have been mortified if i thought id thrown michaels out by accident xx

Hope everyone is good and well

D xx

Am going to try to respond to everyone!

Willmouse ? sorry the spotting has started but don?t give up just yet! You sound like you must be a good CM if you are in demand like this also! Hope ds1 has been ok and gone back to school. Lol about ds2 not being able to go to the party!

Ceebee ? you piccies are lovely! I agree that they do look very alike despite colouring and size! I?m pleased that Josh is behaving himself and being a good brother!

MJIM ? glad your dh got home in the end safely. I had a little ?aww? at the image of ds dancing round the room entertaining dd! (and at him now wanting a brother!)

HC ? sorry and yey! About the morning sickness. Feel free to moan away ? it doesn?t mean you aren?t happy to be pg! (I can only apologise for how much I moaned back in August?urgh the memories!). Crumpets sound yummy ? I ate only mullerice for one whole week iirc! PS. You sure twin boys wouldn?t tempt you? Can?t believe you are 6 weeks already!

Dawni ? so sorry you have been feeling down, but please please don?t disappear. If I think back over the last year on this thread I do remember lots of happy times when the BFPs came, the scans have gone well and the babies have been born, but I also remember that some of us (5 I think) have had mc, some have had worrying blood/test results and worries of CVS/amnio, plus all the months of BFNs and late AFs giving hope. We have all been here to support each other through good and bad and we will support you as well. Today would have been our EDD if I hadn?t mc?d our first baby?so feeling a little sentimental myself, not sad, just had it on my mind today. Stay positive honey!

Detox ? so happy for you that the second scan was all good! Yey! And what a fab due date! Hope your dd is better very soon

Puree ? sorry about the BFN. Here is some baby dust for next month * * * * * * * * *

Dawn ? yuck about pulling your muscle but that jellybean is well! You must be so happy that you can feel her all the time now!

Majormoo ? pmsl at the idiot friend?s comments! Bet she was WELL embarrassed! I happen to really like the name Jesse (and have never heard it spelt like that for a girl!). Def get a move on back to Brighton! Lol! (Sounds like my small town here ? I?m sure we will have every old dear?s opinion on what we should name our baby! I have deliberately not told anyone (except MN!) our shortlist for that very reason!)

Mandy ? was it your Doppler artery scan today??? Hope it has gone well and everything is in place for your lo?s birthday in 6 weeks!!!!!

Waves to HM2J/Juanitad/BB/Soosy/BSL/Ladidadi/luckysalem

Hope Bellie is ok and just enjoying her new baby! How exciting!

I only have 11 days left at work! ?good job as I had to stand through my lunch hour today as I had a foot/head sticking into my ribcage! Lol! Bought some moses basket sheets and terry nappies (for use as sick/mop cloths!) off ebay and they have come today so feeling almost ready!

CE xx

CE Thankyou so much, im so sorry to hear you mc'd, i didnt know, that is alot to deal with and i should thank my stars ive not had to go though that. I often feel very selfish after my outbursts, but i just cant control them and dont want to make everyone sad by it, but when ive calmed down i then realise just how much help this thread actually is and it helps me a great deal. I think because over the 14 years we've tried ive only really had DH to talk to as even though i have friends, they dont really understand and im sure they get sick of listening to me (iykwim) going on and on about getting pregnant. Wishing you lote of happiness {kisses}

D xx

Hey Dawni, no need to apologise. You are right about friends, some of mine said well, you've already got 2 so be thankful. That is not the point when you are TTC.

Don't think we'll find out about Bellie for a week unless Mr Bellie can log on.

HC

Agree with HC - I don't think we will find out about Bellie until the weekend. She will be in hospital until Saturday at the earliest I would have thought.

Dawni sorry you are feeling - I didn't realise you had been trying for 14 years - I can't even begin to imagine what that feels like. Please continue to post here - I think CE summed it up - we have all been through so much here and it has not been plain sailing for most of us by any means!

CE what a lovely post You will always remember your little beanie - don't feel bad for thinking about them today.

Am sat here watching cricket from Jamaica - me and DH always wanted to go to the Carribbean to watch cricket one day but decided to have children instead

Oops pressed 'post' too soon!

Majormoo at your friend - I bet she just wanted to curl up and die Of course Jesse is a boys name - Jesse James and all that! I love it - am quite although I would never have got it past DH who only likes traditional names!!

CE-had not thought before but this thread really has had some ups and downs. My early miscarriage was around this time last year-shows we have been going on here for a long time now. Hope you are OK today-we always mark the day for the baby we 'lost' a few years ago-I think it is important.

MJIM-yes the name is biblical-my dad was really pleased we had chosen it as he kept mentioning 'the rod of Jesse' but have to confess not sure what he meant by that! (Also just wanted to clarify it was a friend of my friend who put her foot in it. The friend I visited is lovely. Also we still live in Brighton CE and intend to stay)

Unless Bellie has internet phone thing/internet access in hospital. We had the world's crappest (and expensive) system but was more reliable than DH who got the baby's name wrong!!!

Chocolate eclair- know what you mean about EDD. I was 6 months pregnant when my EDD came. Its a very strange and bittersweet feeling. Suspect that's why I still cry when I put Cecily to bed!

Yes it is myjobismum and thanks

Hi everyone!

There are too many posts to reply to everyone individually and I am feeling lazy. Will you all forgive me?

Glad everyone seems so happy - must be because it's the weekend!

I am still symptom spotting like mad here. Had bad AF pains last night but they are gone this morning but the spotting is back. I had a slight AF with DS2 so who knows whether that would be normal? I will wait until Sunday.

Right, off to do my housework!

Some lovely posts here at the moment.
Such a supportive thread.

I'm reading everything & thinking of everyone stuck in this TTC/PG/New mum roller coaster.

CE thank you for asking, the hospital visit went well and everything seemed NORMAL again! . Almost beginning to think this can actually happen.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Afternnon all

Well and truly snowed in here - dd's pre-school shut and the snow keeps on falling! Dh made it to work but is now unsure about how he'll get home!

Dd is a bit better - her temp is back to normal, but she's still sleepy and off her food. She is currently under her duvet on the sofa while I get a break from CBeebies

Have booked my nuchal scan for 20th Feb when I'll be 11+2, so looking forward to seeing beanie again, but a little apprehensive hoping that all is well.

HC - hope you're feeling better and beginning to enjoy your pg now you've relaxed a bit

Willmouse - keeping my fingers crossed for a great result on Sunday for you.

Mandy - so pleased the visit went well. It does make it all real doesn't it!

Puree - I love your daughters name, so pretty.

Belgian - am keeping everything crossed for you this month...and well done to Mr Belgian - Mr Detox had mostly given up but has occasional relapses at work (drives me mad as it wouldn't even occur to him to even want to smoke anywhere else - grrrrr!!)

Majormoo & Puree - I can completely understand what you mean about remembering the EDD of the mc's we've had. My EDD was 26th April '09 which will be a difficult day I am sure. However, my 20 week scan is booked for 28th April which of course is the most positie thing to look forward too.

Right dd waking up, so catch you all later x

Good afternoon all, the posts yesterday were very sobering and ive stopped feeling so self obsessed and sorry for myself !!
Still spotting but need proper bleed i think before i start with the clearblue monitor

Willmouse Hope you have more luck hun xx

Belgian Good luck to you and mr belgian xx

Hope everyone is having a good day, we've just had a blooming weather warning !! At least its my weekend off and wont have to move, have done a food shop so we'll be ok
