Neeko · 18/09/2009 21:07

My co-ordination's about as good as my abilty to stay off MN so I'd only ruin it
Nice to have a bit of silliness again

BlueMoon1981 · 18/09/2009 21:12

wave your hands in the air like you just dont care

woop woop!

the silliness is catching

mermaidspurse · 19/09/2009 10:25

morning everybody
kate lovely news for you and dh I know how much you were dreading it and you must be still on cloud nine.

hoping If ever there was a time for some retail therapy it is now. I know that sounds glyb - that aint spelt right is it? I know it's materialistic but hell it makes a girl feel good.

mermaids perscription.
mimi holliday underwear, has to be a matching set and stay matching for at least a week before it gets washed with dh boilersuits

new jeans that are way way more expensive than you have ever spent in your entire life and which should really be framed on the wall as a work of art.

boots which make you want to strut your sassy stuff in every direction and which price tag you have shredded.

I know that underneath all that you may feel grey honey but its a foundation and we have to start building ourselves back. so thinking of you, you know you are a very strong person, just an exhausted strong person.x

mls Hope that your time away with your lovely family will help to cope with the pain and begin the healing. I am so sorry.

bakingqueen Praying that thse bloody headaches are gone even though you are doing manc hours. Fingers crossedx.

sabs are you ok waddling lady?
ditto lion drumming fingers. It as all gone quicky for us, not you I know. Hope our little fidget doesn't keep us all waiting too long.xx

vjay so lovely to hear that alex is thriving. You must be cream crackered.

As a slight aside I have absolutely no idea where my cycle is except I am now even more alarmed than if I did know. I feel like I am late now cos my cycles are only about 23/24 days...... thought af was due several days ago. Now that I have fessed up I expect she will arrive.

bluesatinsash · 19/09/2009 11:11

Hey girls,

Sorry I missed the mexican wave last night but my centre of gravity is way off so would only have fallen over .

mermaid - eeeek!

mrskate - yay again to you and DH. Glad you've got a wee wriggler in there .

Neeko - lovely to read a long post from you and LOL at your DD loving the shows until she goes on one - DS is soo the same!!! Thanks for update on MLS - she is a trouper and sorely missed here. Always has a wise word, honest aside and never forgets to ask after us all. I dearly hope this holiday allows her to start to heal... DS is loving his APS, such a boy now, all swagger and confidence - run for the hills .

Vjay - wise words re: bmilk on sore nips - ouch . Alex is thriving - nearly 10lbs - well done you!

Lionstar - lovely to hear from you and hope your bouncing on your ball gett your DC2 down - come on get moving!!!

Barbie - hope your not too lonely without DH, your Mum will be here to entertain you soon enough x

Just dashing out, waiting for DH to bring DS back from his wee football class, quick change then off to DS's friend's party then straight from their to my neice's party at softplay - the social life of a three year old is awesome .

Love and happy Saturday to all xx

bluesatinsash · 19/09/2009 11:12

there not their and scuttles off...

cupcakefairy · 19/09/2009 12:20

Morning girls, lovd the little smiles on here last night (and I hope you were all with me in spirit watching the gorgeous Matthew Cutler & Ian Waite last night!!) (Yes I know they're both gay!!)

Thinking of you loads MLS. Neeko you're so right, she's always been so upbeat and funny and lovely on the thread. Really hope she finds her way back to us soon with the tiniest smile ready to weeble back to upright again...

I did speak to my Mum's mw friend she was soooo lovely. Said if I get to 8 wks and am really anxious she will (and I quote) tell some porkies about the 'p' word - pain - to get me in for a scan (assuming I've had no actual pain by then of course, fingers crossed )

Have monster of a mouth ulcer at the mo and can't even eat; I always get them when stressed not good... off to douse it in Corsodyl!

Hope you all have lovely weekends

BuddhaBellyBigPants · 19/09/2009 14:16

MrsKate Hurray, fantastic news on your successful scan
Mermaid Can I be quietly excited for you?
MLS Hope you can relax a little on holiday and be gentle on yourself, thinking of you lots.

Just a quickie from me as I'm off on holidays tomorrow and I've got loads to do (or supervise being done by DH ) SPD is still horrendous but managed to get in with an osteo when I return so fingers crossed they will work some magic Off here tomorrow which is where we got married and it's our anniversary on Monday so will be lovely to wake up there. Then off for a few days just up the road in a caravan on the beach Will be thinking of you all x x

SabsBigPants · 19/09/2009 17:56

Just a quick post to say yay to mrskate and neeko on your scan's and also mls if your lurking, that im thinking of you

Its our religious celebration, Eid, tomorrow so will be busy with the family celebrating. Ive just about managed to find a nice Indian outfit that fits but im not planning to go visit lots of relatives like I usually do as I look so big with my 9 pounder! I managed to make 3 cakes on Thursday but have taken other nice food stuff like homemade biscuits and other indian sweet stuff from mum, sisters and MIL! I also need to fill you ladies in about the kinds of foods im being made to eat to bring about labour and for an easier labour, all traditional Indian remedies!

Sorry for lack of personal messages, will try harder next time, and again Happy Eid

Neeko · 19/09/2009 18:57

Hi all.
Message from MLS "Please could you send my love to everyone and say thanks for asking about me XXX" Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I think that shows a flash of the brave and strong lady we know and love.

Moon loved your nonsense last night - took me right back to my 1st NKOTB concert!

Mermaid in the absence of Curly being about to get her revenge can I just loudly say TEST! TEST! TEST! TEST! TEST! Sorry - had to be done

Blue Hope you're now sitting on the couch with a big glass of fake wine after an exhausting day of escorting your little prince to all his social engagements. Three really is THE age, isn't it?

Cupcake Great news about the potential scan. Knowing you can have one will go a long way to putting your mind at rest On a serious note though, if you get any pain push for a scan, regardless of stage. Oh and try fresh pineapple for your mouth ulcer. The enzymes are supposed to speed up healing.

Sabs Happy Eid to you to. Lots of lovely food certainly sounds like fun and I'm sure you look beautiful despite because of the size of your bump Looking forward to all these remedies. you should definitely share with Lion

Took DD to a theme park today. She's much braver when her Daddy can go on rides with her, although he did look vaguely embarrassed

Hope everyone else is ok. Have a relaxing Saturday night. x

littlebellsmum · 19/09/2009 19:14

Happy Eid, Sabs - the food sounds yummy!! And if the traditional indian stuff works, pass on the recipes, I'm sure your fellow bug panters will love to know!!!
Thanks for passing the message on, Neeko - I agree, she sounds incredibly strong.

Kate stop feeling bad - we all feel dreadful for MLS but also really happy for you - mixed up emotions are possible!

Mermaid no tests for you my dear or where will us pantless ones be ( except for cold) - just ingnore that naughty Neeko Neeko Great to hear you so upbeat and having fun

Hello to everyone else

littlebellsmum · 19/09/2009 19:16

Bug panters? [hmmm], serves me right for posting in a hurry ! Bigpanters, I obviously meant!

barbiebigpants · 20/09/2009 05:23

Hi girls...

Been a little busy in rl, burying my head in the sand trying not to think about dh going away it sounds silly but im so petrified that something will happen to the baby or him while he is away. Im always like this, when he used to go to work for 4 months it really used to destroy me....this time is seems so much worse Thankfully its only 7.45 so i have an hour before work to compose myself..
sorry about that very self indulgent post....

Right back to of all you with the really worries....
mls that you for sending us all a message, we are all thinking about you all of the time, i hope this holiday will go some way towards your healing

mrskate what did i tell ya???

neeko i seem to have missed your due date? are you still in my borrowed chicken suit or shall i slide up and push either sabs or lion off the bigpanter bench for you??

curly hello fellow feb baby pusher when is your 20 week scan, i know gg has hers on tues or is it thurs? well one on these dates and mine is the following thurs so your must be really close...been shopping yet???

mermaid tested??????

budda have a great holiday hun, the last without a screaming rugrat demanding on going on every £1 ride outside of every shop.....

mm hope your anniversary was a good one, i was thinking about you...

villagemum for some reason i have a feeling you are lurking (physicbarbie again) so a big wave and for you.

cupcake not if but when you get to 8 weeks.....thought id correct you on your grammer! positive thoughts and all of that. Take easy little lady, slowly slowly catch a monkey.....soon it will be your time to see the little bean.

blue hello....glad you are enjoying the weather at the moment, your lo sounds so cute!

vjay dh seems obssessed with breast pumps....oh ok just breasts! im glad the lo is doing well, big hug from one of his cyber aunties

annie i hope the bad ear infection has gone? are you back to work yet?

jools i loved your rainbow story i hope you are tanned, relaxed and enjoying your holiday...my time on the beach was great...until i went to leave and i nearly fainted (but thats another story!)

hello lbm and blue im really glad you have come back and are posting again....it feels like we are all back together now..

weeble how are ya pretty lady??? im gutted i missed the mexican wave...i could of posted a great link

hoping i read your long post the other day and ive been thinking about it constantly...first i want to give you a hug...the baby thing will happen, i dont know when but you have to believe in yourself.
I dont know what to suggest about depression, i have never had it, although believe me last year came very very close, i guess you posting on here is some help? Just keep talking to dh, us and whoever else you think you can trust, admitting your feelings are the first part of solving them.
Secondly, please please dont get carried away with the fact that a baby will make you 100% happy, because how do you know??? (sorry it that sounds harsh..you see why in a minute) some people wish to the win the lotto, believing it will solve all of their problems, rarely it does and in fact you always read how they wish they never won it! Some people move half way around the world to escape there problems, 9 times out of 10 the problems just follow.....What im trying to say it that there are no guarauntees that life with a baby will solve all the other problems, it can in fact cause more...I suggest you start be fixing one small thing a month that will make you happy, a new pair of shoes this month, job searching the next month, and then the month after look for a new house. It doesnt mean you have to act upon them it mearly gives you something to focus on and then you can decide one problem at a time what you really want to do to change things...but the biggest advice i can give you is to life for today, sadly we never know what is around the corner and you never want to look back and say you lived life full of regrets. Once you start living your life again things will happen for you, but you have to learn to love life first so you can see the possibilites it can bring.
Sing like nobody is listen, dance like nobody is watching and love like its your last day......

Love to you all xxx

BlueMoon1981 · 20/09/2009 12:47

barbie what a lovely lovely post, you talk a lot of sense and i had a sneaky tear in my eye.

Neeko · 20/09/2009 16:27

Barbie you talked a lot of sense today- for a change hee hee Nice to hear you feeling so grounded and FWIW i was a quivering wreck anytime DH went away when I was pg with DD - all part of the hormones horrormones

I'm using the chicken suit for a wee while if no one minds. I'm definitely not ready for big pant status and not convinced I'll ever be brave enough to change my name. (Blue has made me superstitious )I also don't want to be the first person to update the list after MLS's bad news.

Spoke to her by text again today and she doesn't think she'll be back on the thread. Totally understand why she feels that way, but hope she'll change her mind when the sun starts to peek through those big, dark clouds.

Good luck to those of you with 20 week scans this week and next. Bet you'll be at the size of your bean.

I've had a very quiet day today with lots of housework done whilst DH decorates. Not the most exciting day but at least we're all ging to sleep in freshly laundered sheets that smell of sunshine and fresh air tonight - might be the last time til 2010!!

barbiebigpants · 20/09/2009 16:28

Neeko · 20/09/2009 16:42

sorry but you know I'm just joking

its true! i do talk crap most of the time

cupcakefairy · 20/09/2009 19:17

Evening lovelies
Barbie I loved your Jerry Springer moment; beautiful words
Neeko that makes me so sad MLS might not be back. Like you I of course understand but she would be so terribly terribly missed

Having a bit of a wobble myself this weekend. Aforementioned mouth ulcer has become massive gum swelling & I literally can't eat anything dh has been puree-ing my food for me but I can barely even swallow it & feel like a really bad mummy now cos I'm not eating properly. Plus I took paracetamol last night cos I couldn't get to sleep from the pain
He went to get me some nice soup today & after a bowl & a half I realised it was stilton and just burst into tears at the table feeling very pathetic and like I'm doing everything wrong.
Meh...sorry for me me me... my ante-natal thread is moving at the speed of light and would much rather hang with you girls anyway.

Kate huge congratulations on scan.
Can't believe Gracie's 20 week scan is next week! How time flies. Hope she pops back in to update us on the good news

Oh and finally, if you're feeling tearful, don't go and see Away We Go as you will sob! It's a beautiful film but some v bits about lost LOs and just family in general...

Neeko · 21/09/2009 08:32

Cupcake Oh the hormones, the hormones - suh a good sign! get yourself to the doctor/dentist with your ulcers and he/she'll sort you out. One bowl of stilton soup does not a nightmare make! The stilton will have been cooked so rsk is minimal and you'll know not to do that again.
FWIW my diet has been dreadful in the 1st trimester because all I've wanted are carbs and I've had hardly any fruit and veg. That's all passsing now and I've been taking my pg vitamins so I'm sure it'll all be fine.

I'm afraid the pg after MC roller coaster is the most terifying one you'll ever face and the hormones are much worse than with a "normal" pregnancy. On the plus side, you're strong, you have us to support you and you're growing a beautiful little bean so it's all worth it.

P.S. I don't like my antenatal thread either, as it all seems so simple for most of them but I feel I have to keep posting or I'll jinx my baby

Hope everyone else is ok.

4everhopeful · 21/09/2009 09:05

Morning ladies - Im training the new girl today (handing over my crown!) so wont be able to MN v much!

Sorry for lack of individual posts, but have to say, over the weekend I thought of you all (as I often do) & wondered what news there maybe - no-ones due to test I thought, then I had a strange feeling about mermaid & thought, oh she actually could be pregnant, Im sure shes a week or so before me, I lurked on my pho & sure enough lady thinks shes late!!! Had to share that & Im really excited cos I have a strong feeling!!!!!!!

MLS thanks for passing your message via Neeko, I hope the healing & strength building is slowly begining? One step at a time...

Mrskate already said it - but great news about your scan...!

Hoping I have plenty to add about your situation but not enough time at the mo so will catch up ASAP! I totally relate to the life on hold thing tho... Hang in there tho - wise words from our fellow emmsy weebles!

Barbie dont be lonely - you have us! x

The rest of you - I love you & will catch up soon! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

4everhopeful · 21/09/2009 09:07

Big waves & hugs to lovely Neeko! Didnt see your post there sweetie! xxx
