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"

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

Wasnt gonna post - just last lurk of the week, but have to send love & sympathy to you mermaid... xxx Life is so short & precious & I will def be wearing a pink top tomorrow for your poor friend and for you too xxxxxx

Ooh welcome back Kate!

Mermaid I'm at work on nights so have to wear navy, but will take my purple pen with me and wear pink pyjamas tomorrow. Big hug x

kate you're back!!!

Mrskate that sounds sooooo lovely you must still feel on cloud 9.x

4ever if I have'nt missed you have a fab weekend and thanks, she led an amazing life, squeezed more in than most of us do in a whole lifetime

gracie lovin the pink pjs!

Hi everyone poor you mermaid hope your feeling ok will make sure I have something pink or purple with me at work this weekend. Congratulations Mrs Kate enjoy married life. Loved your sausage story 4 ever my dh is having sausage casserole for his tea tonight not sure it will lead to bd though. On day 16 still no +opk and no sign of ovulation but on the plus side on two long days over the weekend so not much time for bd. Good news about your dh shift gracie know how you feel about their shift my dh is a doctor and when he worked in hospital some weeks we only communicated by notes on the pillow as he would be on days when I was on nights and vice versa much better now when he does permenant days! Hope you all have a lovely weekend sorry gave up on the catching up so hugs to all I have missed xxx

Hi
Mermaid I'm so sorry thta you've has such a tough day and I will definitely wear something pink or purple tomorrow. Life is awful some times but I hope you've taken some comfort from how much she packed into hers.

kaaaate! welome back married lady! Glad you had a great tme. Sounds like married life is suiting you.

gracie v good news about your DH. Life is looking up!

Vjay Loving the band. I had a velcro band thing that my cousin gave me when I had DD. It did help on achey days and I'm sure you'll get used to yours as the time passes.

jools any more symptoms? I have to agree with mermaid you must be very fertile

Bakingqueen Hope you get a + soon. It's awful when you can't predict your body.

cupcake Glad you and DH are united in this. Now get BD and show that git what's what!

Today's mission went VERY well for me but we're planning a couple more attempts this weekend in the hope to 'seal the deal.'
I'm now looking forward to a temp rise to be officially on the TWW. I start my exam marking on Wed and it'll keep me very busy for about 2 weeks so that should help to stop me symptom spotting and early testing. (and if you believe that, you'll believe anything!)

Hi to MLS, LBS, Barbie, Blue, Moon, Mollie, mm, Lion and anyone else I've missed.

Thought I'd update us as I'm losing track. I see I missed a few of you in my hellos - sorry

Bonjour mon amis, just a quickie, sorry for lack of postings but I've been soooo busy the last couple of days - yesterday took dd shopping & then when she slept at lunchtime I went shopping again on my own (dh was home). Then mother & toddler group in the afternoon, today - took dd swimming in the morning, then did exercise to a dvd when she slept (no sniggering!) followed by making chocolate cornflake cakes in the afternoon, posted a pic of her chocolate covered face post munching on one! This evening have just booked holiday in France going in just under four weeks yay!

Mermaid will deffo wear something pink tomorrow. Funerals are hard to deal with at the best of times but when the person who died was cut off before their prime it all seems so unfair.

MrsKate welcome back, hope you managed to fit some sightseeing in amongst all the honeymoon bd'ing.

GG wahey, you go girl! Thanks for the offer but I have several interesting shaped Ikea ice cube trays at the ready!

Neeko Agree with you re need for a baby greater than the fear of another mc. I'm sure once we are pregnant though we will then be totally gripped by that fear until we are holding those little bundles in our arms.

Am actually really managing not to think about testing.... will probably do one though once dh has gone on Sunday. Right ladies off to bed. Will speak to those of you who are around over the weekend.

Byeeeeeeeee

Lovely pic MLS. I have tried and can't get mine to work

Evening all
Firstly - MrsKate- time to change your official name to Mrs Kate me things. Congrats on wedding and heres hjoping for a honeymoon baby!

Gracie - no steely resolve here , just my head firmly plonked in the sand and thanks for the wine update, am enjoying a glass or two tonight

Mermaid - sorry to hear about your friend, off to put on my pink nightie in her memory and we will have a great weekend.

Anyone - there's a lady on the Emmsys angels who's just had her second mc in two months and wants advice on trying again - can anyone help her please? I've replied but really can't help - not had more than one mc to date(!)

MLS - your life sounds like mine - mad!! Where's the holiday?

As for me - funny, few symptoms today. Happy to test with you next w/e Jools ( if AF hasn;t got me by then!)

Hello to everyone else - BakingQ, Neeko, Barbie, Baby , 4ever, and all the other lovely ladies I've forgotten

Morning, littlebellsmum I have posted a reply to eva.
What's everyone up to today? I've just managed to roll out of bed and get dressed, not put my 'strp-on' on yet though . Ds has a party later, it involves a clown, which he hates, but I'll be there to protect him. He had his first swimming lesson yesterday, he was so nervous, bless him, but did really well.
*mermaidI I'm wearing green today, but will try and find something pink/purple to add to it
Hi kate so glad you're back and had a fab time, so you must be on the 2ww now
jools testing already, wow good on ya girl.
Can't believe it's nearly 11 am and no-ones on here yet

Also I've been having some dreams that really make me when I remember them in the morning, I think I enjoy them in my sleep though . Anyone else had this, or having this???

vjay you are souding like a weeble, is that the right name for those little rolly things do they even still make them?
I am meant to be getting ready for opperation wall.... hence I'm here instead. Hope the clowns don't prove too upsetting, I can relate to that fear bless him.
at your dreams girl maybe that a perk of being up the duff!
Have a good weekend.x

Thanks mermaid you too, off to the party now

Hello! its very quiet on here today!

I'm on nights so not staying long just wanted to share some good news. A friend of mine from work who I think I've mentioned before who has had 4 miscarriages including one very late miscarriage, has this week given birth to a healthy baby girl. I'm so pleased for her, she's finally got her baby! (yes Kate its Mary!)

Hello

Hi Gracie X post.
That's lovely news. I'm so happy for your friend.

Lovely encouraging news Gracie

mermaid - I am wearing a purple top and pink socks in honour of your friend ...

littlebellsmum - it will be lovely to have a test buddy I'm still really confused as my head is telling me there is no chance, but I had definite period like pains on and off yesterday and am incredibly emotional today - major mood swings.

Oh well, I'm now only 2 lb off the weight I was when I stopped dieting after getting the last BFP, so if this IS a false alarm, I'll just crack on with getting slimmer

Back to housework Spent the morning at the gym, then decided to blitz the house as it is under thick layers of dust from the bathroom renovations. I am absolutely exhausted, so have stopped for a quick MN break

arggggggghhhhh

DU the internet provider over here put a ban on mn for the last 48 hours!!!! They are being really strict and resricting access on certain sites.....porn i can understand but mn what have you girls been posting!

Loved my day off, party last night for a 30th and engagment of a friend that james works with...i turned up 4 hours late due to work but we stayed until 2.30 so it wasnt too bad...just been to a beach bar on the palm so the guys can watch football.

mermaid wearing a pink sun dress for you, big hugs....makes you realise how precious life is doesnt it?

Hi all
Kate so glad you had a lovely time in Wales... and the 'in love' feeling hasn't faded for me yet 2 and a half years after wedding - love my dh to pieces and still feel so lucky being married is great.

Gracie soooo lovely to hear about your friend; definitely gives hope and she must just be over the moon

Mermaid sorry to hear about your friend.. unfortunately I'm not wearing pink, but I did just buy a GORGEOUS pink raincoat with cupcakes on it for my goddaughter's first birthday next week

Hi to everyone and hope you're enjoying your weekends

Hey there. I'm off to catch up properly with you chatty girls so may be gone a while

Today is my EDD for the baby I lost at 11 weeks. No one but DH knows the date so I just wanted to share with you. I've been dreading it since the last edd in March and my mini-meltdown but actually I've had a really nice day planting things in the garden. I also did my first ever opk and got a faint line. Does this mean I'll get a proper line tomorrow??? DH is away for the week from Monday so the worst timing I think!

It's lovely to see everyone so chatty. Welcome back Mrs Kate

Sorry about your friend Mermaid. I shall wear my new pink and purple tomorrow

just a quick post to say thanks for sharing that with us curly and glad that your day went ok. I remember being the same, dreading the day, and breaking down lots before hand, but when the actual day came, i was quite calm and it was DH who was actually quite upset about it all..fingers crossed that you get a more stronger line tomorrow before DH has to go away...

its quite late, just got in, but will catch up properly tomorrow..

sweet dreams all

Helloooo ladies. Havent been on for days, busy at work, and my usual very early nights, been feeling rotten, not actually being sick, but gagging a lot and feeling sick. The tiredness fog is starting to lift a little, i had a late night last night-was awake until 10.30-that is very late for me at the min!!
Had a call from the hospital and my they have managed to bring my scan forward by almost a week, but strangely it is a Thursday and i was told when i first tried to change the appt that they only do dating scans on a Wednesday very strange! So ive got 11 days to wait.

mermaid-So sorry for your friend, ive been wearing my bright pink dressing gown all weekend (i have had my clothes on as well, occasionally ).

Vjay-Lol at the strap on, so funny. Bet it is really helping though. Re the saucy dreams, i got them a LOT with DS, they were SO realistic as well, i quite enjoyed them though Looking forward to this , this time as well!

Was really laughing at the 'sausage' talk, so funny!!

Curly Sending you big hugs for yesterday, EDD,s are so sad, a poignant reminder of what might have been.

Gracie-Im really happy for your friend, thats great news and she must be so relieved her baby is safe and in her arms.
Congtats on your DH,s promotion too, and glad hes managed to get a change of shifts so will be around for some BD around your ov time.

Barbie Hope work is OK for you and you're not working yourself into the ground, a BFP is just around the corner for you, a Summer one!

Welcome back Kate-sounds like you had a fab time, hope we hear some more good news from you soon

Jools-Gosh all those symptoms! Are you going to test soon?

LBM-Hope AF stays away for you, and you get your BFP this month.

Sabs and Lion-Hope you both well and your Big Pants are getting tighter!

Scorpio mm mollie moon and Blue my fellow medium pants crew, hope you and your sticky beans are all well.

MLS-Are you going to do a sneaky test today then?? OOh hope its a BFP for you. Four weeks is not long to wait for your holiday, we finally got booked up, away for a week to a lovely quiet resort in Majorca,we fly 8 weeks yesterday-cant wait.

Neeko-Bless your DD and her new shoes, they get so posessive over them.
Got to admire your efforts in the BD department-Gold Star! Glad you got all that marking to keep you occupied in your 2WW.

BakingQ-Hope you get you +opk soon, you may just be ovulating late this cycle.

4ever-Hows your 2WW going sweetie? Keeping everything crossed for you, the nuns are praying for you too.

Big waves to everyone else-another mammoth post from annie
