Morning girlys!

Fab news about scan from Gracie PHEW! Def a supersticky one as I just said to her!

Sending sticky thoughts to poor Annie really really feel for you cos had poss of edwards with our no3 but we had lots more hard markers so im sure all is well, but MLS when she tx's you let us know asap please!

BTW MLS pmsl at your dd!!!

Blue you put that so succinctly about our wonderful all embracing site my darlin! Its truly amazing & couldnt have been organised, the way its fallen into place & we are all so aware of each other is unique and a true blessing to all of us.. Your dress sounds fabtastic! I splurged last fri on a £150 gorgeous purple silk trapeze dress reduced to £45 in debenhams for a family wedding on 8th aug, couldnt decide between that & a julian mcdonald body con dress in lovely sage green so got that too! . Havent splurged in a looong time!

I told you I saw our lovely Mermaid on my same bus to normalsville, sure she'd just taking a weeny break & will be back, same as Neeko. Its them damn BFNs

Thanks for welcome back Curly honey! big hug to you!

Also big waves to Neeko, hoping your friend will be ok now.. Try not to worry too much...

Ginger I wanted to see that prog but was in late...

Barbie your brunch sounds excellent! Love the 70's thing! Great to see pics but my work doesnt let anyt attachments through so theres a few things Iv not been able to see lately..

Im only here til 2pm, off to Wembley tonight to watch our team play footy, im really looking forward to shouting from the terraces & having a lil drink! AF still not arrived so hope she stays away til tomorrow! Im driving to worthing & back tomorrow to see my nan with dh & my mum, it was nans 80th so want to spoil her! Shes v young for her age, drives around, gardens, does tai chi & bowling, shes fab! (oh and master baker as nans should be!)

Big waves to the rest of you lovelies! Will pop back before I leave! xxxxx

X-posted with cupcake and 4ever

cupcake conference was v. short

4ever you nan sounds fab I haven't got any GP's left - but DH's grandad is 89 and he is ace - Hope you have lovely time at footy x

cupcakefairy · 24/07/2009 10:53

Oooh jury service! That sounds exciting iggy (well it probably won't be in reality but sounds all grown up!)

Haha, Neeko I apologise that the Peeko thing seems to have caught on

Has anyone text mermaid and jools to let them know about gracie? Hope so.

cupcakefairy · 24/07/2009 10:55

Lots of x-posting! Hello lovely girls 4ever v glad AF won't be ruining your trip to the footy and I'm still praying she stays away altogether!

VJaybigpants · 24/07/2009 11:36

gracie so pleased the scan went well , feel free to update the list and join the bigpanters.

blue your post really touched me, I forgot your mc happened at that time. I do remember just after my 2nd mc you announced your pg and I remember seeing you on the telly thinking 'wow she's pg, how lucky', but your pg really spurred me on, and now look at me. I hope we all help each other like that
The other thing is I am very aware that the lovely vm was pg at the same time as me, and do wonder if that's why she hasn't been back, I totally understand and do miss her wise words.

iggy me and little optimus are just fine thanks

sabs lovely pic, it's nice to put a name to the face, you look so happy and relaxed

annie thinking of you, you should be done now and I am praying everythings is ok.

iggypiggy · 24/07/2009 11:42

vjay am liking the idea of little optimus.. sorry think you should def call him that

VJaybigpants · 24/07/2009 11:56

iggy ds probably will

cupcakefairy · 24/07/2009 13:25

No news by text from annie yet? Hope she's ok.

bluesatinsash · 24/07/2009 13:43

Ah... lunchtime at last .

Firstly Gracie - great news on your scan, wonderful news and welcome to big pantsville, pants on the left and pile cream under the shelf .

Vjay - I still miss VM too. She recommended original Emmsy's to me way back as we kept stumbling into each other on the mc threads. I'm sure its her 40th next month, really hope she is OK, as you say she was so wise, eloquent and just lovely .

4ever - the 7th part of the this thread will be upon us all ready for your BFP . Have fun at the footie and give that DH of yours a big slap and tickle from me . Both your dresses sound gorgeous, its nice to treat ourselves back and forward. I mean my DH spends £600 a year on golf fees so I see that as my unofficial clothing allowance equivalent . We do have our own bank accounts for stuff like that tho' so can't sneak it under the radar from the joint one - hurrumph.

Annie - been thinking about you all morning and hope all OK. I really love 'Oliver' and its no.1 on my list at the mo' .

MLS - your DD sounds like a 'mini-me' of you - and I mean that as a compliment! Her vocab is fab for her age - horlicks! . Loved the link to the poster, I'm sure my big cousin had that up in his bedroom beside his 'Sex Pistols' one (I was madly in love with him when I was eight ). He taught me all the dirty words to 'Friggin in the Rigging' by the SP - mother was not amused . Ahem, I digress...

Iggy - hope you get a good trial next week - yikes! all very John Grisom...

Neeko - what a lovely friend you are worrying about your friend. Third trimester bleeding isn't uncommon, although still scary. I'm sure they will be keeping a close eye on her and baby.

Barbie - your lunch sounds a hoot, lots of highly flammable material on the go there - whoa!

Ah well lunch over, back to business x

anniebigpants · 24/07/2009 14:02

Hi ladies, im back home. I text Curly earlier, but she must be busy at work. Everything fine with scan, the CPC,s (cysts) seem to be gone, no other soft markers. I fo, however, have to go back for another scan, a consultant scan. sonographer said cos CPC,s were documented last visit and they are a soft marker, my age is also a soft marker, sp protocol dictates i need a consultant scan, she reassured me though everything is fine and dandy with babs
Plus i know the flavour...... we are having another BOY!!

Going for catch up, be back soon as havent had time to read up yet.

cupcakefairy · 24/07/2009 14:15

Great news annie!!
Another boy!! This thread is full of little boys - aren't sabs and lionstar having boys too? Congratulations!!

cupcakefairy · 24/07/2009 14:16

(and vjay obviously but we know all about Optimus )

anniebigpants · 24/07/2009 14:20

Glad scan went well for you too Gracie.

Hope you having good time at your fancy dress brunch Barbie MLS-Was going to text you but then realised i dont have yout mobile number!

4ever-Have fun at the footy.

Blue-LMAO at your message to Gracie-'pants on the left, pile cream under the shelf'

Waves to cupcake and Iggy, hope you lovely ladies both well today.

SabsBigPants · 24/07/2009 14:20

congrats annie soooo happy for you

We dont know what we're having cupcake, but whenever people see my bump they think im having a boy. I want a boy whereas DH wants a girl, as long as bubba is healthy thats all that matters...

anniebigpants · 24/07/2009 14:22

Thanks cupcake, i was a teensy weensy bit hoping for a girl so would have one of each, but am more than happy to be having another boy,and consider myself very fortunate.

anniebigpants · 24/07/2009 14:24

x posted with you Sabs, thanks for congrats.Hope you feeling a bit better today?

Curlywurlee · 24/07/2009 14:30

Annie and gracie fantastic news I am so happy that you had good scans.
Got to work today and was called into meeting which has only just ended now....grrr Spent all my time wondering about your scans and listening to my stomach gurgling away

Really really delighted to hear such good news. Catch up with you properly later

OP posts:
SabsBigPants · 24/07/2009 14:31

still feeling rough, so not really working apart from responding to emails. Not really able to eat either, but when I phoned the midwife helpline we have here, they said thats nothing to worry about in terms of the baby and that i have plenty of reserves for the baby to make use of. Temp has gone down which is the main thing, but when they say to me to rest, I feel guilty for doing so and think that I should be doing something other than sleeping!

But overjoyed at our 2 bits of good news!

gingermumi · 24/07/2009 15:34

Excellent news annie! Btw, if you don't mind me asking, how old re you, i thought I was the only oldie here!

anniebigpants · 24/07/2009 15:38

Thanks ginger. I dont mind you asking how old i am, im 39 years young

cupcakefairy · 24/07/2009 15:54

Aw annie it'll be so nice for your ds to have a brother though. Two boys/monkeys will be great fun

So you're having a surprise sabs, that's so exciting I wouldn't listen to people 'bump-predicting'! Literally everyone told my work friend she was having a girl from her bump shape (I even bought her pink booties as a joke cos everyone had said it) and she had a gorgeous little boy! sorry you're still feeling rough

bluesatinsash · 24/07/2009 15:59

oh Annie that's fantastic news and another blue flavour for you , I have a lump in my throat . Your DS will be so proud to be the big brother and you won't be subjected to watching Hannah Montana !

Sabs - hope you're sleeping and not working
