Well done annie your sticky bean must be nice and comfy. So pleased for you

VJaybigpants · 28/05/2009 20:27

Yey annie I am so pleased for you

Joolsiam · 28/05/2009 20:34

Lovely lovely news Anniecam

and welcome to Becks

Have been to the gym, so not grumpy any more but still dreading tomorrow I think I'm going to go back to the cathedral where I lit a candle for my LO after the MC and light another to mark the EDD, then cry on the sofa, cuddling the lovely soft grey cuddly rabbit I allowed myself to buy when I got to 11 weeks ....

anniebigpants · 28/05/2009 20:49

Aww jools-i will be thinking about you tomorrow, sending big hugs. Ive been thinking of ways to mark the EDD of my lost LO at the beginning of August, and i plan on sending a helium balloon with a little note written to my angel saying how much i will miss it and how much it is loved.

Neeko · 28/05/2009 20:55

That's a lovely idea anniebigpants
jools my hand is here if you need it.

BlueMoon1981 · 28/05/2009 21:04

oooh another new thread, wow we must have talked alot huh

annie i am soooo pleased that everything is ok with your lovely little bean, my eyes actually filled up i was that happy for you.

becks welcome to our mad house, the ladies here are all lovely.

sorry you girls are having a crap day, but you have to have crap ones to know that the good ones are good. if that makes sense.

my positive thought for the day: i told my ex boss (she transferred to a different department) that i couldnt help her with something, when actually i could, as i knew it would take her ages to do it herself! She was horrible to me when she was my boss and it was my small way of getting revenge. i smiled all day

SabsBigPants · 28/05/2009 21:04

sabs peeks her in head in the shiny new home and is impressed, wow, it looks good! Will catch up with all the news in a bit...Hugs to all xxx

Curlywurleelittlepants · 28/05/2009 21:11

Barbie my lovely cycle buddy, after you were settled in Dubai you seemed really relaxed, AF had regulated and it was all looking up. I hate to hear you sound so unhappy now. Do you totally have to work? You are not going to be in Dubai forever, and can get back to the career later on. Nice to see you pulling a sickie though

Neeko I'm sorry stupid witch got you. It's so frustating but maybe this is day 1 of your pregnancy so is the start of something beautiful I love your suggested title for our thread

I'm so happy to see 4ever back. I know how you feel. I've been on this thread since October and suddenly despite all my hope I find it's impossible to get pregnant.Please stop being so hard on yourself, things are not 'normal' but you will get yourself back, and frankly we love you just as you are Hope DH is okay and you get to celebrate the snogaversary after all Neeko put it just right, I think all of us hope for it for you and Mermaid even more than for ourselves.

cupoftea sorry you are feeling so miserable too. I found after my second MC that I would have these awful hormonal lows. Grief is hard enough without your body making it worse. It does get easier honestly. Would ya like a big hug cos I've got one spare?

Iggy never mind that man flu. There is only one cure anyway

cupcake I don't why I do it but I find myself following random threads from start to finish to find out if the person who started it ended up being pregnant. I then get depressed if they didn't. We are daft sods aren't we? I don't know why we torture ourselves.

Hey lovely mermaid just seen that you are here too Stay right here young lady and that is an order!!! No I mean it

gracie don't worry next time we are in Boots we can trash the place!! Stupid feckers

VJ I bet you are not waddling and are the soul of gracefulness!!!

Becks a big welcome to you and I'm so sorry that you lost your baby. You've come to the right place. Things will get easier.

Moon you really made me laugh. It's the little things that make us happy

Anniebigpants I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!! At last we get some good news to cheer us up

And finally Jools I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I'm going to check in and see how you're doing so here's my hand to hold in the meantime xxx

Check out that list girls, our pants are collectively getting bigger by the day. Hang in there lovelies and lots of love to anyone I haven't mentioned.

Curlywurleelittlepants · 28/05/2009 21:14

Sorry sabs crossposted with you. Hope all is good with you and bump

Neeko · 28/05/2009 21:17

Curly what a positive post. Hope you're well. Keep them coming.

Moon Love it! Think it's called karma How many boxes have you unpacked and how many weeks til your scan?

BlueMoon1981 · 28/05/2009 21:23

hehe i'm glad you approve! i've always hated her, so anytime i can get a small piece of revenge i do

2 weeks today and it will all be over, and i will know if my bean is staying around. need a fingers crossed smiley....

BlueMoon1981 · 28/05/2009 21:24

oh i forgot the boxes - i bet about 2/3 unpacked. i have a few days off work now, fri, mon and tues so i can finish the rest!

Neeko · 28/05/2009 21:33

Here, have my other hand (I'm sure annie will be ok without it for a wee while) Only empty boxes on the basis of need. if you have any left after a year, chuck them out!

GracieGirl · 28/05/2009 21:53

Annie thats brilliant news!! I'm so relieved!!!!!

Good luck with the unpacking Moon.

Thanks Curly for offering to trash Boots for me!!!

Big hug for Jools thinking of you.

I emailed Scorpio as I was worrying cos we've not seen her for a while. She says she ok, and sends her love to all. Hopefully she'll be back soon.

Curlywurleelittlepants · 28/05/2009 22:17

Bad curly nipped out to the pub in search of good news and it turns out DH and his cricket team have won their game this evening From the happy and slightly smug looks on all their faces it seems this may not have happened before... bless

SabsBigPants · 28/05/2009 22:21

MLS well done for starting the new thread! Loving our new home, cant believe how much we chat! But love it! Promise a pic of bump when i get back from rome in a few weeks time

barbie sorry to hear things are tough at work and your feeling down, hope things pick up soon - you look after yourself missy! a sickie, i love it!

neeko sorry to hear the TEW got you....here, have an angry face from me

lionstar i know exactly how you feel, even though I have a new lo, even yesterday i had a cry for my lost angel, even though its been so long and i have so much to look forward to. I realised I need to be strong for this lo, but hope the rest of today went ok for you....heres my hand should you need to hold it....but glad the scan went well

4ever nice to see you, but sorry to hear about the BFN and that your feeling down,..you can have my hand too if you like?

cupcakefairy have fun BD'ing!

cupoftea i dont know if i have any hand to hold, but would you like a hug instead? i like your idea of hairstrokes!

iggypiggy you made me laugh with the comment about your dog!!

mermaid i echo what gracie said, you cant leave us!

gracie do you want me to go in the barbiemobile and beat up boots for you for sending that email and upsetting you?!?!!

vjay your DS sounds so adorable!

becks welcome to our home, sorry its in sad circumstances. We will look after you here, dont you worry!

annie sooooo happy for you! and welcome to the bigpants club, cant wait for everyone elses pants to get bigger!

jools will be thinking of you tomorrow, hope everything goes ok...

moon love it when bosses have to actually do some work instead of passing it to others!

curly hello back at you, hope everythings well with you

mm if your lurking, good to hear things were ok with the scan, hope the MS is easing off...blue and mollie thinking of you too, hope all is ok...

ladies, please dont feel like we always have to be happy and positive on here, we are all allowed down days and who better to share our emotions with than all of us on here, who understand what you're feeling? hope you're all feeling better now

sorry if ive missed anyone out or any major news from the previous thread

well ive had a strange few days, had a massive argument with a member of my family whose been mouthing off about me and spreading lies, it something thats been festering for a while but i got to the end of my tether yesterday, i just had to confront her, which isnt like me, but had to address the issue and let her know how i felt. felt so stressed about the whole issue but a lot calmer now, hope lo didnt feel any effects. And then today, was at a hotel for some training when this person who works at the hotel wasnt looking where they were going and crashed right into my bump, really hard, nearly toppling me over! Stomach was hurting for quite a while so was getting paranoid and worried, but think ive felt lo since then, so I should be ok right? My mum said lo is well protected and not to worry, but because of past experience, i cant help but contstantly worry

Curlywurleelittlepants · 28/05/2009 22:22

Moon two weeks will hopefully fly by. I wish we had an emmsys calendar so that we can keep track of scans and other occasions that need handholding - then you could at least cross off the days

gracie please tell Scorpio we miss her and hope she is ok.

Curlywurleelittlepants · 28/05/2009 22:26

Hey sabs we keep cross posting! Your relative sounds awful - I'm not surprised you got stomach ache. Your mum is right though, your lo is well protected but stress isn't good because it can make ms worse (are you still getting ms?) and you more tired when you need energy for you and lo.

SabsBigPants · 28/05/2009 22:30

curly congrats on your DH's team winning!

maybe we can add scan dates and any other important dates on the update list we do?

no ms, luckily that stopped after the 13th week, but was signed off stress at work last month, and the investigation about my grievance is still ongoing. Also been working quite long hours at work recently. Looking forward to my holiday to Rome in a couple of weeks...

But have had some other good news, my company merged on 1st april and with it brought a new maternity policy which means instead of 18 weeks full pay, i get 26 weeks which is fantastic!

Curlywurleelittlepants · 28/05/2009 22:33

Yay, that's fantastic sabs 26 weeks is much better.

Rome sounds amazing. Do you have the hotel booked?

SabsBigPants · 28/05/2009 22:37

yup have booked both flights and hotels in a deal found on lastminute.com Have been dying to go to rome for ages, even went to watch angels and demons last week in preparation, lol! Its an early 5th year wedding anniversary present to each other, as im not too keen on flying in august.

Have you been? or anyone else? Any tips?

curly do you have any holidays booked?

Curlywurleelittlepants · 28/05/2009 22:42

We went there a few years ago. It's really lovely. There's lots of stuff to see but my favourite was sitting in Piazza Navona, sipping coffee and watching the world go by.

We've no holidays booked yet but I think we'll take some time away in Aug

SabsBigPants · 28/05/2009 22:58

thanks curly think i'll have to be making lots of coffee breaks/pit stops!

im off now, sweet dreams

MummyLovesSadie · 28/05/2009 22:58

Well well ladies what a busy thread today. I've been lurking but I've not had the time to sit down & write anything thoughtful. I think it must be the planets as it seems like there has been a dark cloud over our thread today but it feels like it's starting to lift.

Annie sooooo happy for you, you must feel like you are about a stone lighter. Shame you can't celebrate with a glass of champers! Your helium balloon idea made me cry.

Moon so it's your turn in two weeks, yikes that's gone quickly.

Curly love your view that today could be day one of your pregnancy, bloody love it!

Jools feeling so so bad for you. I hope tomorrow isn't too traumatic. Please don't lose hope, one day that little rabbit will have a warm snuggly baby to cuddle into.

Iggy your dog certainly made me giggle!

Becks welcome & you are not selfish. You might find that a little military planning goes a long way

Cupcake I don't know who Amy Adams is , but step away from the November thread right now! Thanks for the advise re scan, I think I'll go on holiday & enjoy myself & maybe get a scan when I come back - ignorance is bliss.

4ever hope you are feeling a bit better after such a shitty day. Life does feel like one long groundhog day marked out by peeing on various different sticks. Please don't feel left behind, nobody is leaving you anywhere & we are all on this journey together. I'm certainly not going anywhere, last week I posted on the February due thread but I haven't brought myself to post anything since as they are all so bloody happy & unfettered by doubt & fear, I feel like I don't fit!!

Neeko don't forget to start a new chart today, maybe your temperature change will be more noticeable this month. I think it will be easier for you to interpret now that you have a previous month to compare it to. Do you have your running shorts & your Nike Air trainers at the ready for June's race to the bfp finish line?

Mermaid has your rubbish day got any better?

GG what about you, has your mood lifted at all? It's crap going through all this & you don't even have dh to rest your feet on in front of the telly at night.

I'm off to bed now, very tired tonight. All these late nights & early mornings are catching up with me I think.

Night all.
