Evening lovely ladies, just having a quick lurk and wanted to say thank you so much for all your lovely words.
I am still mid-meltdown, poor dh has to put up with me crying every time I come home from work. Can't wait to get my old self back

Will be checking on you all once a week, but thinking of you all so much.

Here's my hand for tomorrow Neeko, would be great if someone can text me the update...

Lovely to see you're still lurking a little Cupcake. You know where we are if you need support or a group hug.

hopingalways · 18/08/2009 08:44

can I have a group hug too? the spotting's started so I'm out for this month

mermaidspurse · 18/08/2009 08:51

neeko and sabs thinking of you both atm.xx

cupcake I am sure that crying is theraputic way better than bottling it all up. September is always a fab month for new beginings.xx

gracie hope you are ok?

barbie oh your poor dh tell him to go sleep out by the pool though in the nicest possible way. We need you staying super well.
I also have to thank you for the analogy for 4ever yesterday with the weeble. Absolutely brilliant and we are going to have to call her 4everthewonderweeble from now on

curly always a shock to go back to work, look after yourself lots.

iggy big gold star for being so stoical is that spelt right? probably not but you get the drift.xx

jools I have lots of gold stars for you too for a variety of different things so come and collect them later
think I am around people that play nintendo too much

mermaidspurse · 18/08/2009 08:53

hoping hug and a sparkly star hanky for dabbing tearsxxxxxx

4everhopeful · 18/08/2009 09:05

Neeko as Wisecurly said - bean dont need a scan - but sending you sticky loving wishes anyway!

Hope your placentas back where it should be Sabs ready for an au natruel (+ lots of drugs) childbirth!

Barbie oh you are a real sweetheart & ur post & link (& lovely mail from lovelymermaid) was such a great start to my day! Wonderwoman weeble! That sums me up methinks! Sending grapes, vicks and benylin cold & flu to DH! (do you get all that out there?!) Hope its not swine flu!

Mermaid heres a hug, a big genuine smile, and a lotta love to you! xxxx

Hoping sorry she got you darlin. Coming in for the hug! What a bloody cow. Wish we could all jump in the barbiemobile & run her out of town forever!

Cupcake glad to see you're still checking in. Sorry meltdown is still in full flow. Really really feel for you. Always here when you need us xxx

Hows Gracie bubbling along? Hope not too much drama? Work ok? Back ok? Bowels ok?

Big love to snoozycurly!! xx

Are you staying in your nice hotel Jools? If so, enjoy! Keeping it all crossed for you this month!

Big wave to Blue and anyone else I may have missed inc the lurkers! xxxxxxxx

Good luck for your scan today neeko

4everhopeful · 18/08/2009 10:32

How do we post piccies again?

SabsBigPants · 18/08/2009 10:35

Hello ladies, saw my baby again today Placenta seems to have moved out of the way,but bubba was being very stubborn (a trait obviously already picked up from DH ) and wouldnt move its head out of the way. But its 6 pounds already and Ive still got a few weeks to go

DH is convinced its a boy now as the radiographer kept on referring to bubba as "he"

Also managed to get scan pics - close-ups of bubba's face

Thanks to everyone for your kind messages.

What time is neeko's scan?

4everhopeful · 18/08/2009 10:45

Its ok I worked it out! Just added a few pics as had them on my pc to show girls at work the dress I wore to wedding last week! Added one from my wedding day of me & 76 yr old ab fab mummy looking glam stylish & 20yrs younger than she actually is! Also me & DH, and me & inlaws with supercute nieces & nephew who looks like Bart Simpson!

SabsBigPants · 18/08/2009 10:46

Also just had a text from neeko saying that the baby is ok and she saw a heartbeat!

Baby is measuring 8+6. Having a scan in 2 weeks time and then again when baby is 12 weeks

YAY!

bluesatinsash · 18/08/2009 11:07

Ah Sabs you beat me to it . Neeko txtd me too, all good . She will be so relieved.

Great news that your placenta has moved Sabs - get massaging that perenium .

4ever - your photos are gorgeous, loving that purple dress - foxy lady .

Hoping - so TEW is en route... Hope the group hug last night helped.

Right back to the ironing...

4everhopeful · 18/08/2009 12:23

Good news about the placenta Sabs.. Blues advice sounds UGH but helpful im sure! I can imagine Barbie being horrorfied at that idea!

YAY to Neeko too (even though already congratulated you via tx!) its worth double congrats cos I bet you was in a right state beforehand.. Now you can breath & relax & 2wks til next scan is great! xx

Why thanks Mrsblue!

barbie1 · 18/08/2009 13:26

4ever you know me so well yeah im shocked at massaging your perenium......at least get the husband to do it .....ps glad i didnt offend you with the weeble comment! and your photos are fab, lovely wedding dress and lovely picture of mummy too.

neeko wow 8+6 time is really flying for you! so glad ever thing is ok

sabs so does that mean you dont need c section? not long now my lovely

I bet vjay is packing the car for the hospital trip as we speak......

hoping damn the bloody witch getting you....

Well dh went to the docs and had some test, they came back boarderline. they dont test for swine flu on its own as it take days for result but for 18 other flu like illnesses. So dh has something.....maybe? anyhoo im allowed to stay here as long as we use hand sanitizer and he does cough on me (like i would let him do that )

Hello to everyone else....

4everhopeful · 18/08/2009 13:55

Indeed I do Barbie! Visioned your utter ! Totally agree tho, no doubt we'd be under docs orders to 'abstein' from loving, so a def job for hubby! Oh, and soooooooooooooo love the weeble - told Dh I am now 4everthewonderweeble You honestly set me up for the day girl! LOL! Yea, mum looks fab for 76 dont she?! Hopefully have her genes! Your poor DH suffering from 'ummaybesomethingflu'! Dose him up with lots of vit c & chicken soup, but banish him to the bedroom for a couple of days!

MrsKate · 18/08/2009 16:16

yeah for neeko and her scan !!!!!!

hi everyone

4ever i do love that dress on you pic its lovely xxx

bakingqueen · 18/08/2009 18:17

Just a quick hello sorry for meltdown on Sunday af arrived as I woke up on Monday . having to have a month off clomid this month as scan dates would fall around bank holiday and they are concerned things would not be properly monitered with a 3 day gap so kind of relieved to have a month off try to let my hormines settle back down. Sorry again for Sunday got to go dh wants a lift to shops as his car broken again! x

Joolsiam · 18/08/2009 19:12

Just checking in to collect my gold stars from Mermaid and to say another HOORAY for Neeko

CD1 for me, and probably a CP again. Just off to wallow in a hot bath as it bloody hurts.

Back later, when rose has dulled the pain. No meltdown though - I seem to be in an amazingly good mood considering ...

Hopingalways - I love the way you treat any symptoms that have the audacity to be spotted - made me laugh yesterday

Neeko · 18/08/2009 20:39

Hi Guys.
Just a quick post as I didn't sleep much last night and will be heading to bed shortly
Thanks for all your positive thoughts and good wishes for today. They meant so much.
I've never had a scan so early before and couldn't make out the heartbeat at first by the lady doing the scan was fab and very positive. I'm really grateful and lucky that they're giving me a reassurance scan on 3rd September since my MC wasn't detected until wk 12. i then get my 12 week scan on September 17th. They said to phone anytime I'm worried too which is a huge relief.
Baby blob is measuring 20mm and 8 weeks 6 days which is 6 days futher on than when I ovulated but we've agreed to disagree on that.
I promise to catch up properly on the thread after I've caught up on sleep.
Love to all.
