Emmsy's in weeble land....Where weeble's wobble but don't fall down!

[barbiebigpants]

Do you like our new home?...

Here's to another happy thread!

The fun, the laughter and the tears will get us through, and help the weeble stay forever upright

cupcake I vote for no day counting... I didn't know what day I was on till I came on here... Wish I didn't know - is better that way... I would like to be in a comando/ small pants with no CD next to it type list!

article sounds interesting

sabs lovely post you wrote - so pleased you have come so far in a year.

I have realised that it is a year since we started officially ttc... and a bit

feeling bit left behind again today

omg I made a whole working day without coming on here once.

yes we need a comando section definately a good idea.

iggy getting that ilusive bfp is like waiting for Christmas when we were kids. It takes ages and suddenly its happens.it will
I am really holding firmly to the belief that when your body is ready it will get on with it all and I really mean it when i say I can't wait till you and moon and hoping and jools are all on here wearing those so becoming massive pants

sabs thank you for sharing those traditions. you are going to be so looked after young lady.
Please let us know how your dhs job interview went. i am so hoping you both have double good news very soon and at bloody clampers.

lion and fidget hope you are getting extra fidgety shortly.xx

Moon take care - you know where we are when you need us

I think commando is a great place to be!

Sabs - lovely story, and look how quick liufe turned round! LO's and their blessings!

Neeko I think the suit should fit you unitll 16 weeks other wise it'll be too stretched for the medium panters!

Sorry no time for other messages - how the biggest panters are OK and the increasing group of medium panters. Not forgetting the small and commando girls - it drafty but fun!

Awww igs my lovely...it's almost a year since DH and I started ttc too. It's so weird, I remember the end of last year at work getting out our new wall calendar for 2009 and looking at September thinking 'ha, I'll have left here by then cos I'll be a Mum!' - oh the innocence! It's so strange how things just don't work out how we expect. Sorry we're not small-panters together anymore but you're never left behind; we're with you every step.

Evening all.
Just a quick post from me. Have been in contact with MLS today and she asked me to update. Her bleeding has begun (delayed by progesterone suppositories, I think )
We discussed Mn and support and she said "Last week I was thinking I'm not ever going to use my laptop again...Now I'm missing all the girls and the fantastic support. Been composing emails in my head that I'd love to have sent over the past few days...Please tell the girls I'm thinking of them."

I know she has a looong way to go, but at least she's on the first faltering steps. Her holiday finishes on Monday.

Iggy We'll never leave you behind. Fate just means we have to travel our journeys at different rates sometimes.

Welcome home Jools. Hope your DP missed you in all the right ways.

Big waves to everyone else.

I officially started my Xmas shopping today

Still here ladies, I think Annie might pop before me at this rate! My next antenatal appointment isn't booked until 8th October when it will be all about discussing induction . I can ring midwives before then to discuss having a sweep, but for some reason I'm reluctant. I just thought this time it would all go according to plan and labour would start naturally. I feel like any sort intervention will be some kind of failure - daft isn't it the things we build up in our minds. It's DPs birthday on Saturday so I'm sure it's just waiting until then .

Sabs sorry for not replying to you yesterday, but what a milestone to pass at this very hormonal and emotional time. Hopefully the imminent arrival will go some way to soothing some of those wounds. Fingers crossed for good news for you DH.

VJay sounds like some serious Gold Top you are serving up there!! Well done Alex.

Neeko - it's still September!! I couldn't believe it the other day in our mini Sainsbury's to see a display of mince pies and Xmas cake

Lion - put Boogie Beebies on CBeebies with Pete and shake your stuff, that's bound to get things moving .

Neeko - lovely to hear MLS is regaining some of her old strength. I'm going to email her on FB tonight, just with some thoughts but really just wanting her to know we're all here for her.

I won't be far behind you with the xmas shopping , need to be prepared this year in case lo comes early .

Changed days from last xmas when I could see it far enough as was so paranoid about losing pg then wandering round Stirling on 22nd Dec after MMC was confirmed trying to get something for DH. does not begin to describe it. What a difference a year makes...

Iggy - don't give up, you have been pg once, you will be again and have a lo to cuddle at the end of it .

Right, Thursday morning housework beckons again x

forgot to say Hope your scan goes a-ok today barbie and you and your Mum can spend the rest of the day pouring over all the new baby clothes she brought over.

Are you going to post a piccie?

Morning everyone

Just checking in quickly as I got home at 9pm last night and am "at work" this morning - from my dining room table with two cats fighting over my lap !

Had a lovely break, but it was far too short, and I felt quite panicky about coming back and slipping back into the state of mind I was before.

DP was quite pleased to see me and the timing is great, as I should ovulate on Monday and may well be away on business for 2 nights after that - will be a busy weekend

Now on a conference call and trying to multi-task !

MLS have been thinking of you a lot - when I went away for a while, I went through a stage like you of starting to miss people and writing posts in my head - I think it is a good step along the road to some sort of recovery / acceptance.

Pants / Commando - I don't think I could possibly ignore what CD I am on - I just can't stop myself noting the signs. Sometimes it is nice for people to see what CD you are on and ask for news / progress but sometimes it is too much pressure. So, I'd happily take off the CD tracking from our list if that helps ?

Lion - hope fidget starts behaving

Moon - understand where you are coming from - don't stay away too long

Sabs - what an anniversary I mc'd at the same stage on Nov 11th and am dreading that day - truly the anniversary of the worst day of my life, and my experience doesn't sound half as traumatic as yours ...

I started TTC half heartedly in June last year, expecting to be a mum before I was 40 - well I'm 40 in just over 6 weeks Did a lot of talking to my parents this week, especially after breaking down in front of a shop full of cute baby things and hearing mum confess that she had already bought a couple of things back in Nov last year and has now hidden them.

Right, I have to start listening to this conference call and contributing so will be back later - hello to everyone else - Blue, Barbie, Neeko, LBM, GG, Kate, Iggy, Mermaid ..

blue scan next thurs.....a whole week of non baby talk for my mum....

jools hello, you were missed..

Gotta go busy at work, be back soon

Neeko I can't believe you with the shopping putting us all to shame! no, seriously- good for you! If DH doesn't find a job soon we'll have to use our secret dream holiday fund for Christmas this year
Thanks so much for the update on MLS so glad there is a teeny tiny light.

blue a good friend of mine was due 20th December (in 2007) she got all her shopping done and wrapped and decorations up and her ds arrived the next day- 8th Dec! So only get it all finished when you want LO to arrive as I'm sure they 'know' when you're ready

4ever how are you this morning lovely sunny lady??

Jools welcome back lovely so sorry about the breaking down but it really does help to talk to people so glad you have your parents

I'm 6+1 today and still no spotting (quiet ) red bleed was at 6+3 last time so I might be running to the loo a few times at this wedding on Sat

eek! Sorry barbie - least I got the day right . Blame it on pg brain...

Welcome back Jools, glad you were able to talk about things with your Mum and your DP was pleased to see you .

Hi cupcake - 8th Dec - nooo! Like the theory tho'. 6+2 you're getting there, one day at a time. How is your DH doing? Is there anything on the horizon?

Spoke to another Mum on way into playgroup earlier to pick up DS. I spoke to her last week as she was asking me when I was due etc. I then saw her crying with another Mum when I was leaving so asked her if she was OK today. She was basically due same time as me and me telling her my due date just brought it all up. She had a mc at 11 weeks back in June . We spoke for a wee while talking about it all and I told her how I was on my third attempt etc. You just don't know do you? We all appear normal and chatty but so many of us are harbouring heartache and loss...

It is such a lovely day could be middle of June
oh for a minute I thought ii had forgotten barbies scan. phew.

jools nice to see you back and glad you had a nice break and looking forwards Bless your mum with her hidden things, I am hoping they won't stay hidden for too long.

cupcake a massive gold star for being so upbeat at 6+1

lion oh my you poor impatient lady - come on jump higher

neeko my name is mermaid and i have bought most of my christmas presents. Of course by Christmas I will be doing the demented squirrel act and not find or remember them and start again

4ever afternoon teacher Can't remember if you have hospital stuff today tomorrow so a big wave, a gold star and take it very easy.

blue enough with the dusting. Time is ticking away for you now too. It is so nice to think of you having such a momentous Christmas coming up after the dark days of last yearxx

sabs are you still there? Think you may need to start jumping too

blue x posted - poor lady, its that hit that just comes out of nowhere sometimes and just floors you. It sounds like she had started off so bravely too.

Aw blue what a sad story; you're right we never do know. Glad you were able to share your experience with her. Think dh is getting a bit stressed he says he isn't but keeps complaining of aches and pains and has lost his appetite
On the plus side I just found a job that's perfect for him and it's near my parents..

Yes sabs has gone rather quiet indian remedies working their magic I hope!!

Lol, mermaid my Mum is a classic for forgetting presents too she frequently has to dash off during present-opening on Christmas day cos she's remembered a hidden one

Look at us all talking about Christmas

AGH!!! work has been hell today - been pulled in a million directions & just wanna cry.. I just wanted to wrap up in cotton wool, just thought of how hard it was for Barbie in first few weeks at new salon, DITTO. All I wanna do is take it easy & slow, but no, training is exhausting, boss talked to me through lunch, so by time I got to eat meant I missed meeting with new senior boss that I needed to impress, caught her in corridor but still annoyed that my boss didnt realise what she was doing by chewing my ear off as I lay on her desk tellin her I was exhausted, then had to deal with DH idiot GP telling me they couldnt give blood screen results to me direct, after 30 min battle on pho they did, but then portland sec had gone home AGH! Just wanna cry, tried to explain this to boss with hope she would say go home, but she told me 'take 10 mins' upstairs!!!! Anyway, really thinking about getting signed off for next 3 months now, sod em, gotta look after me & so frustrated that all these outside sources are causing stress when I HAVE to be stress free... Sorry for rant... Will be back tomorrow... Welcome back to Jools btw xxxxxxxxx

I'm still around...Just got back from my midwife appointment. She's slightly concerned about the size of baby and my bump is measuring at 41-42 weeks. Baby doesnt have a lot of space to move around now. Have to go back on Wednesday to have an appointment with a consultant to discuss induction options. It will be the first time I will meet a consultant as so far ive only had appointments with my midwife.

But midwife is hoping I go into labour before the appointment. She also said not to be a hero and go for any type of pain relief that I think will help me.

Also want to say thank you so much for your kind words about my sad anniversary yesterday, it meant so much. Will be back later on, I'm starving for some reason!

Hi sabs, sending lots of labour vibes your way! Come on baby, stop worrying your Mum by getting bigger and just come out!

4ever sorry to hear about that stressful day. Flipping doctors and tests and hospitals, grr! Hope you can get hold of them v soon!

did someone mention christmas its 39 degrees and to me christmas feels sooooo far away!
dh and i have decided there isnt anything we need so we are going to by ourselves a slr camera so we have it for when the baby arrives...hopefully ill get better at taking pics! Dh family are coming for christmas, 5 of them hopefully it wont be too much hard work, they should look after me rather than me hosting for the whole two weeks....

4ever for you with all the trouble the hospital is causing you, i hope you get it all sorted soon....and yes, take three months off work if you think it will help you, you need no stress at the moment.

jools glad dp was pleased to see you, im also glad you had a nice talk with your parents...in my crystal ball i can see your mum getting out all the baby things by this time next year...fingers crossed for you my love.

sabs push push push! come on bubba....

mermaid i want to be a mummy just like you...how are you so organized? must be all the super stationary you invested in....i might need the link!

Sorry for not posting to everyone, im shattered.....

Will talk more tomorrow but from me its goodnight xxx

Evening ladies..

4ever nice to hear im not the only Monica in here Sorry to hear you had such a rubbish day today If you do have the option of not working for the next three months, you should take it. You need to put yourself first..

cupcake be sure to let us know the link for the article that you're writing

iggy Hope you're feeling a bit better today...You have our hands to hold whenever you need it...

mermaid I am happy to report that DH has been invited for a second interview, which is great. The interview will be some time next week, so lo needs to bear that in mind when it decides to come out

lionstar what a wonderful present for DH should lo be born on saturday! Hope you've been feeling OK otherwise

blue hopefully this xmas will be the best ever yet for you!

jools good to hear you had a good break. Good luck for the weekend

mls if your lurking, just to say that I'm thinking of you...

barbie I second you should be taken care of by everyone over xmas instead of you having to run around. I wonder what xmas is like in Dubai

sabs waves to lbm and neeko and anyone else who may be lurking. Right, I'm off to watch Back to the future II with DH . Have only seen the first one, can you believe! Might as well enjoy this quality time with DH while I can

See you all tomorrow!

Morning.
Quick post as work is manic and I'm trying to organise DD's 3rd birthday party for Sunday. Sunday would also have been my EDD but at the moment I'm feeling ok about it and DH and I plan to release a helium balloon and have a moment or two before the party chaos begins.

4ever hope you get it all sorted . Remember nothing else matters ATM so deal with you.

Sabs Good luck to your DH - and with the little job you'll be doing yourself over the next week or so.

Cupcake Here's my hand for tommorrow. It'll all be fine.

Big hugs to Moon MLS and Iggy and waves to all the rest of you. I'll try to pop on over the weekend, but thinking of you all.

Mermaid Can always rely on you. Well done with the shopping There's clearly some Monica in us all

Blue Try to think positively about that lady. Every discussion about MC makes it all a little less taboo, which can only be a good thing.

Barbie Hope your mum is pampering you.

Thanks Neeko
I'm still getting that pain in my right side but dh and I decided it's pointless to phone epu yet as they wouldn't be able to see enough and I'd only have to wait in limbo again Gonna wait to speak to mw next Sat.
Hope party plans go well! Here's my hand for your edd.

I'm away now for the weekend so hope you all have a lovely time and I'm looking forward to news of more nieces/nephews when I return! (we're gonna be telling rest of mine and dh's family this weekend, feels so wrong to but as we'd tell them if I miscarried again I guess it makes sense...)

Morning lovelies! Another rushed post from me Im afraid!

Neeko I shall be holding your hand on sunday, big hugs for being brave xx

Jools glad you had that chat with your mum, & glad DH welcomed you home in a fitting way!

Barbie it will be nice to be pampered over xmas, will be strange for you over there, will you have a tree!?

Lionbaby & Sabsbaby COME ON DOWN!!!!! - as prob wont be back on til tues please tx me if they arrive before then someone!!!!

Hello Mrsmermaid I have 2 xmas prezzies hidden away so far! Def a liitle Monica in all of us..!

Blue when you think MC affects 1 in 4 its not surprising really, wonder how many of us know a lady in our situation & dont realise..

Cupcake you're a brave girly, Im weebling all over the place here

Spent alot of yest on verge of tears & getting all agitated & angry at anything & everyone (inc myself) that I was stressing Possibly hormones? Then freaked out thinking I was doing damage & then freaking out about it not working again. I am pretty scared, I just wanna take it s l o w l y & cover me in the bubble wrap mermaid sent & my self styled cotton wool wrap dress & hide in bed. Im feeling torn like with work I need to help this girl if Im not gonna be around & secure my position in the new structure (in case it dont work again) but then as DH says dont worry about any of it & just look after me & get some time off? Well the treatment is hopefully mon (if all results get over ok ect) & will have all next week to chill.. Will make more decsions then when calmer I think...

Hey weebling cupcake Im thinking that twinges are beanies nestling, I been going from freaking to trying to assure myself. I think hb is seen at 6wk if you do go for scan, I called EPU this morning to leave message for my fab sonographer, shall ask her what she reckons. Iv never seen a midwife with any of mine even tho got to 9wk with 3 & 13wk with the other Im gonna get in with NHS consultant too but sort treatment & portland first.. My cycles about 31 days so not exactly sure on my dates, Im classing myself as 4w today but last AF was on Tues 25th Aug, so could I be 4+3?! I dont know? Scrambled brain! Good luck telling parents, my philosophy exactly, have told parents, sis, nan & aunt, SIL & 4 workmates, then freakily a mutual friend called on weds night & asked outright 'are you pregnant' I nearly swallowed my teeth! Spooky pschic moment. For another mad one, spoke to MIL last night & she told us BIL & gf is 4/5 wk preg too(!!!). Feel but had mixed emotions as last we heard they were splitting up & very rocky, so was a bit that we been through all this & it just happened for them, and also scared that means it will go wrong again for us as 4 mates now had same edds & they all went to have theres & I lost mine so weebled out about about that one.... (followed by guilt for not being overjoyed) Its a funny old game aint it....? xxxxxx

rushing in/out cupcake enjoy your weekend, its your body doing all the extremely complicted stuff it has to do. Please try not to worry (ha ha if only)

4ever time to pull the biggest duvet day of your life I reckon. r-e-l-a-x as much as you can. Smile a heck of a lot, manically if needs be and we will get in the barbie mobile to sort out that bloody receptionist again if we have to.

sabs and lion jump!
