hi iggy and vjay

Neeko · 10/07/2009 10:08

Gracie Sorry I missed you last night. I have everything crossed for you. Hope your mind is put at rest soon.

Morning to everyone else. Thanks for replies on DD. i wish she'd do something funny now to distract us all...

GracieGirl · 10/07/2009 10:14

Still not heard back from my midwife. I left a message at 8:30am. I've been using the lying in bed trying to pretend its not happening method of making the time go by.

Maybe i should go down to the surgery and get in the way a bit to remind her I'm there.

Or maybe ring the EPAU now its open.

Neeko · 10/07/2009 10:18

Ring the EPAU Gracie No offence to your midwife but they are much more experienced with dealing this stuff and have all the equipment to hand. She'll probably just direct you there anyway.

VJaybigpants · 10/07/2009 10:20

Yes ring the epau gracie xx

Neeko · 10/07/2009 10:39

Gracie Did you manage to get through? What's happening?

Neeko · 10/07/2009 11:01

Update from Gracie by text: "I'm sat on the grass outside the GP surgery. Not spoken to midwife yet but she is seeing me at 11.30am"

Does that mean we all have to go and do some work til then?

SabsBigPants · 10/07/2009 11:34

hope gracie is beeing seen to now...

got a text from kate to say that gracie has seen a midwife and she has got a scan for tomorrow

hopingalways · 10/07/2009 12:36

fingers crossed for gracie, really anxioud for her!

neeko keep the dd stories coming! They give us all hope (and light relief) that we'll be there someday. I'm really scared I'll turn into one of those women I knew when I was a kid who never had the kids they wanted - they went from being lovely snuggly aunties to bitter distant witches who hated everything about children. while I'm that you have a dd when I don't, cooing over your lo comforts me that I might turn out to be the favourite aunty and have that kind of joy in my life. keep those stories coming!

I'm glad the beer belly bit made you laugh. I laughed so hard I had to sit down in the middle of St David's shopping centre when I caught myself thinking "pg lady (bitch), mum with toddler and pg with the next (bitch), pg man with beer belly (bitc...wha?!)"

dh sat me down the other day and told me how concerned he was for my mental health with my current obsession with babbies, mcs, ttc etc. He even suggested we stop ttc for the sake of my sanity Told him I know I'm on the path to madness, but judging by what we post here, that's what happens after 3 mcs! Thanks for being here to share all the mad and crazy things we're doing and thinking. dh is a lot more understanding thanks to all of you (and we are still ttc )

cupcake cd 30 ooh excited for you honey (and only a little bit - means I get all the fuss when I get my bfp next month )

moon your assistant sounds lovely. treasure her!

here's the latest bit of obsessive insanity to keep you giggling - my kittens were born the other day. I am now jealous of the cat and seriously had the thought that if I went to play with the kittens "the babydust would rub off just in time to OV" .

Joolsiam · 10/07/2009 12:38

Thanks for the update Sabs

Tis gonna be a long day for Gracie

Lots of sticky icky Emmsys baby vibes for you

Where is Mermaid hiding ? I thought she was only going out for the day - 2 days ago

bluesatinsash · 10/07/2009 12:40

Just logged on...

oh Gracie - what a night/morning you've had . Sending you every sticky vibe I can muster for your scan tomorrow. I had stringy clot at 8 weeks this time and was convinced it was over as already had weeks of brown bleeding too. Please don't think the worst, I really really hope and pray you see your bean tomorrow unfased by all this fuss. Hope you have someone to keep you company tonight, will be thinking about you x

GracieGirl · 10/07/2009 12:42

hello

I camped out at the GP surgery until the receptionist got me an appointment to see the midwife. Midwife said 9weeks and 4 days was too early to hear a heartbeat so I've got a scan tomorrow morning at 10:15am. I've not managed to contact my DH yet though I have tried. Going over to my Mums for a bit to be looked after, but that won't stop me logging on to mumsnet every 2 mins!

GracieGirl · 10/07/2009 12:45

1289 minutes till my scan.... are we nearly there yet?

SabsBigPants · 10/07/2009 12:49

you make sure your mum fusses over you gracie...im sure it will all be fine tomorrow...fingers crossed hun....and sending you even more baby dust!

hopingalways · 10/07/2009 13:13

thank god you got a scan gracie thinking of you

GracieGirl · 10/07/2009 14:05

1211 mins to go...........

Any interesting stories to keep me occupied?

SabsBigPants · 10/07/2009 14:27

what kind of stories do you want gracie

GracieGirl · 10/07/2009 14:33

Not sure. Normally Neeko's or MLS's DD's can be relied on for a good story.

I might try and go to sleep for a bit. Am I supposed to be resting?

Neeko · 10/07/2009 14:33

Oh Gracie please stop counting minutes! Any chance your mum has a weepy dvd in her collection that you caould watch and have a good cry at. It'd maybe help to relieve the stress. It's so hard when things are out of your control. I really hope you've managed to get hold of your DH and that he'll make it to the scan.
I'll be away tomorrow but MLS will keep me posted. Take care of yourself and your little bean.

Neeko · 10/07/2009 14:36

Sorry DD outdid herself with the spider story yesterday. This is when we need Barbie with her funny links. I still have silly giggles when I think of that one with the woman putting petrol in her car.

GracieGirl · 10/07/2009 14:40

Yes wasn't it Barbie who did those funny instructions for peeing on an opk?

GracieGirl · 10/07/2009 14:44

No luck with DH yet. If I ever make it to the Big Pants end of a pregnancy I'm really going to have to find better ways of contacting him! I did tell him to give me the number for his friend who lives next door as she's female and therefore much more responsible, but he never got round to giving it me. Ah well, at least he's not worrying too.

Neeko · 10/07/2009 14:47

Yes. She's a funny lady. I've missed her nonsense over the last few weeks although I think it's a sign that all is well because she'd be on here otherwise, holiday or not.

Could you and your mum maybe go out for a (Decaff) coffee or go to the shops or cinema to pass the time? I'm really sad but what about a game of scrabble?

I really am sad as I have our scrabble board packed for our holiday. DH and I have a championship every year with a few glasses of wine
