Ever onwards and upwards for all of you lovely ladies

hiya annie glad you had a nice relaxing hol xx

cupcakefairy · 19/07/2009 16:46

Hi all Been away for a wedding....absolutely beautiful day and so lovely to catch up with old Uni friends- we were the last ones on that dancefloor! There were literally about 7 heavily pregnant ladies there though, and some absolutely tiny newborn twin girls which made me a bit . They had an ice crem van come to the wedding which was very cool. I almost went for a mini milk in honour of you girls but these were free ice creams! I had to have a magnum

Hi Curly I'm glad you're bouncing back from the scan nonsense and also v glad you didn't have to go back to the place you found out about the last mc will be keeping everything crossed that next week is good news week for you, Barbie and Gracie

Hi annie didn't realise you were going away! Glad you had such a nice relaxing time

Hi moon so glad you had a lighter af this time round, makes it just that little bit easier I really hope the meltdowns get fewer over the next few weeks and you can start to look to the future again.

Welcome back Neeko! V glad af has kept away so far, and am also just a little excited for you testing (and hopefully jools and iggy too!) JumpingJuly has sort of begun but we're certainly not managing every day like the bd goddess iggy To be honest, the whole job situation is totally taking my mind off ttc which is good as I was getting so stressed by it and at the moment I don't mind if it takes a couple more months while I settle into a 'new normal' (which of course means I'll get the BFP this month!! )

BuddhaBelly · 19/07/2009 17:55

Cupcake Sounds like a fab wedding, glad you had a good time, well apart from the pg women of course, they bloody well pop all over the place! Grrr
Curly I forgot to say to you I'm so sorry about the scan fiasco Hope it didn't spoil your weekend although I'm sure it's all you've thought about!
Jools & Neeko and anyone else testing tomorrow will be excitedly waiting to see in the morning
Kate You sound tired hun, DH will owe you big time after all the running around you are having to do, hopefully he will pamper you when he's better

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend and managed to avoid the rain

MummyLovesSadie · 19/07/2009 18:07

Just a quickie for now, if anyone wants to see the radical thing I did today then check out my pics & go to the second one. Also added a photo of dh, dd & I at my 40th birthday party a couple of weeks ago.

Will be back in a bit.

barbie1 · 19/07/2009 18:14

mls love it!!!

BuddhaBelly · 19/07/2009 18:18

mls Fantastic, well done you Love the family photo too x
Barbie Hello pg lady, how are you?

BlueMoon1981 · 19/07/2009 19:29

mls its lovely i too have been thinking about getting some tattoos in memory of my lost angels, but wasn't sure what to get or where to have them. i already have a rose on the back of my shoulder so i was thinking on my wrist or foot. does it hurt on your foot?

cupcakefairy · 19/07/2009 19:38

MLS that is gorgeous! Love it you are brave!

bluesatinsash · 19/07/2009 19:51

MLS - it's wicked , really lovely and poignant - bet it nipped a bit - yowser! Love your 40th b'day photo too, you look very swish although your champagne glass looks a little empty

Welcome back Neeko - we missed you toots! Conjouring up mega BFP vibes for tomorrow for you, Iggy and Jools. These things come in three's....

Hey Buddha - loving the name . Have you had any flutterings yet? I'm getting them big time, alot more than with DS..

Barbie - is the AC on yet or have you partially melted? Welcome back again xx

cupcake - I can soo picture you cutting up the dancefloor . Glad you had a hoot.

Big week coming up with potential BFPs and scans for Curly, Barbie, Gracie and Annie. I went to church this morning (not been for a few weeks) and prayed for us all especially 4ever and all the medium panters and ttcers...

Off to watch Toy Story 2 with DH and DS - his once a week 'staying up late' treat (DS's not DH's ).

cupcakefairy · 19/07/2009 20:12

Blue you're so right that these things come in threes! It was true with gracie, barbie and curly....so hope that happens this week

And that's so lovely you prayed for us all Have been doing a bit of that myself lately! I think we all need it.

Forgot to say earlier, gracie hope you had a lush time away and managed to forget all about everything as you screamed at Duran Duran

iggypiggy · 19/07/2009 21:34

Hello girls - sorry for being rubbish and not posting!

I was at a festival at the weekend - which was lovely. It took my mind off evil AF - who arrived on Thursday evening.. so am now CD 4...

Was bit of a misery on Friday - but am quite cheery now, so think you lot had a lucky escape!

Will catch up tomorrow, but big wave to you all.

neeko I'll text you my number cos I think I have yours!

MummyLovesSadie · 19/07/2009 21:49

Thanks guys. Blue yes it was a wee bit nippy! Hope you & the boys enjoyed the film.

Moon it stung a bit but didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would, I took 2 co-drydamol & 2 nurofen before which I think helped. Barbie has a star on her wrist for her little angel which is very sweet.

4ever are you out there? I've been thinking of you lots all weekend.

Cupcake of course you will get a bfp with your new relaxed attitude! I really wouldn't worry about bd'ing every day.... repeat this mantra 'it's timing not frequency'!

Annie did we know you were going on your hols? I don't think we did, black mark to you for not checking out with mn! Glad you enjoyed yourself & looking forward to seeing your pics on Facebook.

Vjay & Jools thanks for your advice re ov, I did another opk today & I think the line was a tad darker than yesterday but I could quite have imagined it.

Neeko have you managed to get all your post-holiday washing done?

Right I'm off to bed now, I'm hoping dd doesn't wake up at her new found getting-up time of 05.10 & instead I get a bit of extra sleep like this morning.

I'm feeling excited for all the ladies who are testing tomorrow. Go on girls, you can do it!

MummyLovesSadie · 19/07/2009 21:53

Oh Iggy what an utter cow af is. At least you had a good weekend & I'm sure you managed to have a few bevvies!

Neeko · 19/07/2009 21:54

Hi MLS Love the tat!

4ever only posts at work so will beback tomorrow.

Neeko · 19/07/2009 21:56

BTW all the washing and three quarters of ironing done AND I had my in-laws round for dinner.

anniebigpants · 19/07/2009 22:17

You put me to shame Neeko. Ive nearly got all the washing done, most of it dried, a tiny bit of it ironed and put away, i couldnt even make the excuse i was cooking Sunday lunch as my DH did it.
Ive been reading through trying to catch up but will post properly tomorrow as off to sleep soon, back to work tomorrow, not looking forward to it, i love my job, but love being with DS more .

Neeko · 19/07/2009 22:22

I know the feeling annie. I'm already dreading going back to work and it's not for a few weeks yet. It doesn't help that I should have started my mat leave on Sept 1st so I would only have been going back for a few weeks. It's quality time not quantity that counts and I'm sure you're a better mummy for the life choices you've made (Plus you have a mat leave to look forward to )
Night night

cupcakefairy · 19/07/2009 22:31

Just off to bed but wanted to say sorry af got you iggy no holiday babies for either of us then...I guess we'll just have to book another holiday to test the theory again!

barbie1 · 20/07/2009 04:39

Soory i couldnt post much yesterday, my computer is playing up....we left it on while on holiday and it burnt out the battery, so now it wont charge and we have to have it plugged in at all times....which is ok until the husband/ dog trip/ pulls the lead out and you have to reload again and again!

The ac is back on so i can finally relax and spend time down stairs ruther then laying on the bed (which i quite got used too )

I went back to work on saturday and it was ok, although i did think 5 and a half hours would go quicker than it did im in a different spa now, a little long drive but its the dubai mall, the biggest in the world....and it has loads of baby shops.....all of which im banning myself going in until at least week 16!

iggy sorry af got you hun....still a few more months of summer left so im sure you will still get your summer baby

mls i love your tattoo, but i love how cute you dd is more your photos are great, such a lovely family...oh and two stars are more than enough, next time you will be adding a name to the other foot and not a star, hope you are feeling better.

neeko its hard not torturing yourself about mat leave, especially when you dont want to be at work and it seemed the perfect excuse...im glad you are back, have i said that before?

mrskate hi hun, i cant seem to catch up with everyone but it sounds like you have been having a tough time? i hope dh is feeling better today and then you can relax!

budda i saw on your other thread that you are 18 weeks bloody hell i wish my pregnancy would go as fast as yours! although i know its felt like a life time for you....and im impressed with your baby shopping, love it!

curly how are you feeling now? have you got a definate scan date now? dh is trying to talk me out of having a scan, saying that in 3 weeks ill be having my proper one anywhy and that im still sleeping all the time and feel sick so everything is ok if only it was that simple eh? i have found a lovely scottish obsertrician (sp?) who is asigned to the doctors i already go too. I have to meet her next week and she says she will scan me if i want

4ever how are you sweetheart? im sending you a massive hug and a dose of the dubai sun to keep you smiling, same goes to mermaid has anyone heard from her since she set of of the tamar????

jools did af show up last night, im sure she is due on sunday??? i hope not, come back and tell us.....

Right im sorry for those i missed, im off to get ready for work, i have requested to work an extra half an hour a day so 10-4 and have an extra day off, fingers crossed...

Joolsiam · 20/07/2009 07:13

Morning

Just checking in quickly - will be back later for a catchup.

Still no AF and the spotting I've had is not the usual pre AF pattern, but a BFN on a First Response this morning, so I'm assuming she will arrive ...

I have lots of symptoms still, but maybe have a bug ?

FABULOUS news Neeko

I dreamt about doing such a cool, calm and understated list update this morning - maybe next month

Neeko · 20/07/2009 08:12

Morning to Barbie and good luck with the hours. Everyone deserves two days off a week.

Jools It's not like your cycle to be irregular. I've always envied how in tune with your body you seem to be. Have you been more stressed than usual?

Iggy Sorry meant to say last night that I was sorry that AF got you. I still believe that you and Cupcake will be pg together so hopefully this will be your month.

barbie1 · 20/07/2009 08:14

dont give up jools

congrats neeko very subtle way of letting us know let the worry commense!

Neeko · 20/07/2009 08:16

Thanks Jools although cool and calm is the last thing I'm feeling. I tested yesterday with an Asda test but not FMU and although it was a clear line I couldn't allow myself to believe it so I texted a picture to MLS for confirmation and then did a clearblue with FMU today to be sure. It came up straight away but there's a bit of me that's still not convinced. Does that sound mad?(der than usual)
