Emmsy's onwards and upwards part three...laughter and tears, it's all here!

[barbie1]

Hold on, here we go again!

Hum,
Buzz,
Click click
Hum

Monitor blinks, glows
Processor thrums happily

Fingers fly across the keyboard
"Hi how are you?"
"I'm fine been waiting for you"
Smile spreads wide across my face

Her words appear slowly
Full of humor and warmth
A cyber smile, a virtual laugh
Silent yet I hear

Realizing it's time to go,
a somatic sensation warms me

"I hope to chat again soon"
"Till then good bye"

Click click
Buzz
Silence

I found this and thought of us!......

jools oh well probably a good thing to throw 4 sheets to the wind - are you sure it failed and you just can't remember? Don't smell your wee today

kate Am hoping the sun shines on you all day.xx

Weeeeellll - now you come to mention it Mermaid - I think attempts were made, but I have a sneaking suspicion I probably just passed out !

Happy wedding day kate! I'm sure you're not reading this now (at least I hope not!) but have a lovely day

Day 37 and still no af...I'm desperate to join you girls in the bd corner!! (not that we're not getting a bit of practice in while we wait for af ;)) My temp hadn't dropped this morning so at least the witch won't be gate-crashing our trip to London tonight!

Bit nervous, as the last time we went to London, 8 weeks ago, was when I first started bleeding bright red blood in Covent Garden and we had to dash to St Thomas' horrible day. Hoping this weekend might banish some demons.

Neeko enjoy your dd-free night tonight!
Moon definitely don't go lifting any of those boxes... I did a fair bit of lifting at work when I was pg cos nobody knew I was.. I do wonder if that caused the mc (probably me being silly, I know) will be much more careful next time.
MM thanks for the welcome, and what a lovely scan pic, congrats

Oops, sorry...getting confused...it was mollie with the lovely scan pic - congrats!

Have a lovely trip to London cupcake, enjoy Wicked, hope AF stays away for you (at least for the next 9 months )

Morning mermaid and jools, hope the hangover passes quickly Jools!

Mollie your bean is lovely and you can see alot at 8+3 can't you!

I will be exactly 8 weeks at mine on tuesday, and hoping to god i see my bean too.

scorpio of course you will honey you ok, not feeling too wobbly? Tuesday is not tooooo far away now.x

mollie you get the star of the week award

cupcake morning, enjoy your weekend, its horible visiting places after trauma but I guess it helps get rid of the pain with some good times.

jools I think you will have well and truly fooled your dh with your wanton debauchery and wide boy antics. He is never going to guess you are really as pure as the driven snow, cafine free and ready to crack your whip. Think you should go for the hair of the dog tonight

annie gosh your weeks have rolled fast ,although I expect they don't feel like it to you.x

4ever I am hoping you have'nt pulled another duvet day young lady? Please tell us your arm is ok.

vjaytopmarksbigpants yeah I can't believe it has got to buying prams. Another whoosh of weeks.

Right must do a bit of work, after a late elevenseys.xx

I am very wobbly, cried at DH this morning, but i only have until to tuesday to wait; if i get to tuesday with no problems then i have a hope, thats my theory.

A lovely friend is babysitting for me on Sunday so DH & I can go to dinner, that will be lovely, plus busy tomorrow, so is only really monday to worry about!

oh I just remembered neeko I tried both hot and warm wee yesterday and they both worked however I thought the first one was a negative and binned it did the 4ever trick, hoiked it out the bin and it had gone positive with a really faint line on cd12. The warm sample with subtle overnotes of green grass and piquant refrains of horsechestnut did the same but I had to leave them both for the full 5 minutes, maybe cos there was just a trace.
I reckon I can nearly graduate to a white coat now??

oh honey, its ok to have wobbles,must be all those pregnant hormoneS flying around. Is dh going with you on Tuesday cos I can hold your hand if you needed.x
It is great when friends do such lovely things and you can go out and just be the 2 of you, especially when food is involved

Yes DH is coming, he always comes to scans and a heartbeat hearing appointment he has to drive us there anyway; i can't drive yet, and EPU is 35ish miles away!

I just am almost ignoring the thought of my baby, which i feel about too, but is more like self preservation. I will be fine after Tuesday and a good scan.

completely agree about the self preservation, think its totally normal to feel that way - thank goodness for this thread

i know! DH just says it will be fine, and leaves it at that, bless him.

Scorpio - everything crossed for you. Wobbles are perfectly normal - you were all here to hold my hand when I needed it, so I am offering mine back - squeeze as hard as you like

Thankyou ladies i do have some symptoms; I'm very tired even after 10 hours sleep, i get waves of nausea and have sore-ish breasts. DH says i never get pg symptoms much though, and should relax . Its nice that someone else remembers for me. You think i would know by now, this being dc4 and everything!

We aren't having anymore children so this is the last time i will have to worry, thank god

I told myself I wasn't MNing at work today and yet here i am
Happy wedding day Kate Hope you remember to take your moment!
Aww Mermaid Thanks for experimenting for me! Burst out laughing at the overnotes of green grass and piquant refrains of horsechestnut part and got a funny look from a pupil walking down the corridor! It IS silly to be so excited about TTC this month isn't it?
Joolsthelush I thought drinking too much was Barbie and MLS domain? Glad to hear you are relaxing. I'm sure you still have a chance tonight.
Scorpio sending you a BIG hug. Not long til Tuesday, I promise.
Annie about your scans for you. I know they have protocol and all but it seems so unfair.
Gracie fabby singing! When are you doing a full concert? Have a great time today and give Kate a happy wedding day hug from all of us.
Cupcake i can completely understand your frustration as that was me two weeks ago. have you done an hpt just in case? I found when I focused on something else my AF arrived. It's worth a try.
MLS STILL smiling??!

Better go before I get caught! Hi to al the rest of you lovely ladies.

Well the hospital did a pregnancy test last Thurs at my last appointment that was negative. I'm gonna wait another week or so before I start worrying as think my cycle is about a week off judging by ovulation time. I'm sure I can't be pregnant this month; would be a bit of a miracle if I am!

cupcake if you are not just think that you are going to be stronger and even healthier for next month. Is a good way to cope when it all feels

neeko pmsl at joolsthelush but I have the coat so I am doing a runner now euch it reeks of vodkka poor jools and her aching head.xxxx

scorpio I can remember vjay saying that her dh kept reminding her of her pregnacy symptons from before, I guess we can't concentrate amongst all the panic.

mermaid - no voddy last night, but the white coat does have some red wine stains on it :D

I've just remembered a double Baileys I had just before we left. Still no idea whether we walked home or got a taxi though

It almost feels like part of the old "me" surfaced last night - haven't seen since the first very early MC / CP in July, after which I got totally hung up on TTC

Wanted to add my best wishes to Kate for her big day. Hope the weather is holding for you - here we have odd mix of lashing rain and glorious sunshine!

Has taken me ages to catch up with everyone, but it is fab to hear lots of good news about scans - especially mollies gorgeous piccie. Not long now scorpio and you will have all the proof you need, though sounds like the hormones are doing a good job too.

Am liking all the planning of seduction that seems to be going on - though we might have to consider an XXX rating for the thread if this continues!!!

Have just had to rearrange our 20 week scan as clashed with an important meeting for DP. So now not having it until 22+4 weeks - seems ages! Am coming up 20 weeks now - half way , Fidget is remaining true to name though and giving me a real thumping sometimes! Hope my due date buddy Sabs is feeling well, any sign of the third trimester bloom?

Waves to everyone else

Hi everyone! Just off to the wedding now, I'll pass on all your good wishes to Kate. Will try and post late tonight when I get back but might have drank too many of Kate's DH's drinks and might be a little too tipsy!

Hey there Cupcake hope the trip to london cancels the bad memries & creates some good ones for you.. I hear 'Wicked' is wicked!

Joolsthelush eh?! Sounds fun! Exchange the white coat for Barbie and MLS crown! Great to hear you're feeling a bit more 'you' again - totally relate to that one - its like looking in the mirror and seeing an old friend - 'oh there you are' with a big smile!

Barbie We miss you whilst youre working - you need to get a blackberry!

Gracie Have a great day at Kates wedding & pass on our congrats and love! We should of had a whipround for her!

Neeko naughty mn'er like me! Typing really fast & looking behind me to check no-ones looking!

Annie cant believe you have 2 scans booked! Thats sods law! Do you still have to pay out for the private one, cant you re-arrange that one either earlier or later?

Talking of scans - ahhh to mollie - looks like a supersticky cute bean!

Scorpio tues will be here before you know it hon, do understand the knots you are tying yourself in tho - we're all holding your hands xx

Mermaid pmsl at your Jilly wine lady description of your wee aroma! No duvet day for me, but am doing a half day!

Great to see you Lion and hi to fellow bigpant buddys Vjay and Sabs! Wow 20 weeks scans and pram buying! How time has flown - take note Scorpio!

I know ive still missed some of you lovely girlys so big Hi and friday glass of wine/OJ to any I havent mentioned! My arms swelling is thankfully going down, and going back to 4 bumpy bruises rather than one sore mass & can actually lift it so great to be back to nearly normal, was abit worried would be funny forever! (but worth it if it works!)

White coated ladies - Mermaid/Jools/MLS/Neeko - you are the ov queens - I have a question - I think I ov next thurs - when, and how often do we start (& finish) bd?

Have never calculated it as such before, very lucky that it just happens, only we have to get PG in next 3 months so please help?!?!

Hi all

Just dashing into the beach hut quickly before dashing out again to wash the chlorine from my hair & sort some stuff out for Ebay (to fund my pee-sticks addiction!).

GG have a lovely day at the wedding & keep singing! Do send us all a message tonight as drunken ramblings are always brilliant... unless they are to your ex!

Jools I know what you mean about the old you resurfacing. It's easy to forget what you were like before the rigermarole of ttc followed by mc followed by ttc etc. So what is the plan tonight?

Cupcake, waiting for af is even worse than the 2ww but I?m sure it?ll be here before you know it & then you can start a whole new series of stresses... peeing on sticks, when to bd, checking cm, 2ww and so on!

4ever if you think you will ov on Thursday start bd this weekend. Sperm will live for up to 7 days in the right conditions. I'd bd every other day plus the day after you ov - if your dh can manage it! Why the three month time frame?

Neeko not smiling now but have v serious look on face & wearing military hat - am going up to the loft later to plan more strategic moves on my war map for the bd onslaught tomorrow! Have you done one of your Superdrug specials yet today? I?m on day 2 of opk?s & the line is definitely getting darker. Are you all set for tonight, pink fluffy knickers, oysters, champers on ice & Barry White cd??!

Right must run now, big HI to everyone else.

MLS- at your military planning for BD onslaught tomorrow night!

4ever-I booked private scan first, but wanted to book it at latest possible date i could to make sure i got dating scan first, as didnt want to pay out £150 for nuchal scan and find no heatbeat (as i did with last nuchal scan), and latest possible date is 3rd June, i was hoping i was going to get my dating scan through for week or two before nuchal scan, but it is not to be.

Thanks MLS wow enjoy the beach! We have 3 months ttc as the treatment gives me 'immunity' for 1 year, 3 months ttc + 9months for baby growing! So, we have a 3 month ttc 'window'! Every other day eh? DH will be beaming!

If not on again - have a great one everybody! xxxxxxxxxx
