neeko happy dd birthday and for your edd I am thinking of you and also thinking a little too much about the description of your cakes

barbie weeellllll its nearly 12 and I am in my dressing gown eating marmalde and toast on my own - bliss. boys have gone to see the british motorcross championship at... um.. I zoned out at that bit actually.

But we did have a bbq last night on the beach what a lovely evening. must do something about my photos on facebook.

Sorry you have had such sad dreams, I so remember those calf cramps in pregnancy, really painful. lol at you cutting out labels.

jools tut tut this will not do - I hate to hear you are having a misfiring basque attack. I think maybe we get so scared when we want something so very much that any obsticle becomes the great bloody wall of china. I have faith in your basque technique however and at least you can have long lazy mornings or indeed afternoons

4ever just in case you are lurking this weekend. So thinking of you and dh tomorrow. I can see you packing him off with chicken soup in a flask. Remember day at a time.xxx

gracie god how awful for everyone I hope that amongst all that you are managing to look after yourself too.

VJay · 27/09/2009 12:22

barbie I can't keep away from you all, that's why I keep on here, I want to keep up my support for you all like you all kept for me, plus most of the time I have Alex in my arms whilst on here, hence all the spelling mistakes, typing with one hand is hard DH has him now, so my spelling should be good . As for calf cramps try eating bananas. I had really bad heart burn and cramps, so used to make a banana milk shake before bed, and it worked most of the time.
I know how you all feel when worrying about your lo's, I was terrible, but when I got too worried and upset, I used to go back to thinking that it's all out of my control, as long as I do everything sensibly then that is all I can do.

Happy Sunday everyone

barbie - think the friend GG suggested was littlebellsmum .

I'll suggest mermaid for you...

GracieGirl · 27/09/2009 16:24

Yes it was LittleBellsMum, found her on facebook yesterday so sent friend suggestions to everyone.

MrsKate · 27/09/2009 19:16

hi all sorry not been on for ages .been back at work this week .

need to catch up xxx

littlebellsmum · 27/09/2009 20:32

Barbie - new friend twas me, think the surname and my nickname may link up somewhat!
Evening all

Neeko · 27/09/2009 20:47

Hi everyone.
Thanks again for all the lovely messages on here and by text today. It really helped.
My lovely DH chose a red heart balloon to release today and we snuck out in our jammies to do it while DD was busy with her new toys.I thought the balllon was just perfect as it felt like I was sending a piece of my heart to my LO and I watched it for at least 5 mins until it disappeared into the clouds. I allowed myself to cry for ten minutes then got on with DD's birthday. Strangely I feel much stronger now as I feel I've finally had the chance to say goodbye.

DD had a fabulous birthday. The party was a great success, everyone is shattered and full of sugar Sorry Mermaid but the cakes are gone!

Jools Hope you've managed to avert a full-blown meltdown. Big hug to you.

Barbie I'm sure your lo will be just perfect on Thursday so try not to worry. You have my sympathy as I'm already suffering with my sciatica. i have a physiotherapy in pregnancy class soon and will share any advice I get there with you.

Vjay Love the idea of Alex being in your arms and sharing your posts. Give him a huge kiss and head-sniff from me

Cupcake as I said, another milestone reached. Be proud of yourself. Hope you enjoyed the alcohol-free wedding.

4ever Here's love and luck from me to you for tomorrow.

Hi Kate and LBM MLS is home tonight. If you're lurking lovely lady, have a huuuge hug from me.

MrsKate · 28/09/2009 10:36

hi all

sorry neeko you have been feeling sad.

im trying to think what to do next saturday as its my edd for lo dh is at work all weekend so any ideas ??? feeling a bit sad about it

Neeko · 28/09/2009 11:45

Hi Kate quiet on here today. I think you just have to do what feels right for you, whether that be a balloon, a lantern, a plant, a big shopping spree or nothing at all. It is a asad day, but, as everyone told me, you have to mark it, allow yourself some tears and then focus on your new bean. Here's my hand if you need it for Saturday.

MrsKate · 28/09/2009 12:04

just been discussing it with sabs on fb . i think il will put a plant down when our garden has grass. i prob will got to town with mum and buy a pair of socks or a hat for this baby and clothes for me . and when dh comes home go out for meal . he is being a bit funny about it saying he doesnt want to make a big deal about it but it is a big deal to me he said we are not doing somthing every year so mark it how wrong is he !!!!

SabsBigPants · 28/09/2009 12:32

Hi ladies...Hope everyone had a good weekend..The weather was lovely here, but its looking a bit dull today

neeko The balloon release sounded so nice, I got a bit tearful reading that. And good to hear DD's birthday went well

cupcake How did your weekend go? Are you still getting the pains?

4ever Good to know you have some appointments booked. Good luck for Thursday if I dont speak to you before then. I'm glad saturday didnt go too badly for you, sounds like a good way to have spent the day.

iggy How you feeling? Hope you're feeling a bit better. Here's my hand to hold if you're still feeling down

vjay loving the new pic of alex Hows the studying going?

lbm hello new facebook friend

buddha Have you recovered from the holiday?

jools How did the seducing go? Sorry to hear you didnt have a good night on Saturday Hope you're feeling a bit better today

gracie good to see you back but to hear about everything you and your friends are going through. I know ive said it before, but i'll say it again. Your friends are very lucky to have you as a friend. And good to hear your scan went well

bakingqueen Hope the bd action is going well

barbie What do you have planned for your mum this week? Lol at the footballers.

mermaid yes we want to see some photo's on FB please!

mrskate Hope I helped with some ideas when chatting on FB

blue How many weeks are you now?

Thanks to everyone wishing DH good luck on his interview as it worked and he has been invited for a second interview tomorrow. He's also gone for an interview right now and has another one tomorrow afternoon as well, so I'm hoping one of the roles come through. One of the jobs is a permanent role while the other 2 are temp-to-perm roles. So i've told bubba to hold on until Wednesday at least!

No sign of baby despite lots of long walks and eating/drinking all sorts! Have my appointment with a consultant on Wednesday morning so hoping things will be a bit clearer by then.

Also my nan, who ive spoken about on here before, who is ill with Alzheimers and Diabetes, broke her wrist yesterday. She's in quite a bad way and has been asking for her parent, who passed away quite a few years ago Its making my mum quite upset as she feels so helpless. Ive told my mum to go and visit her (they live up in Yorkshire) but mum doesnt want to leave me,as shes my other birth partner along with DH, so i feel bad

LionstarBigPants · 28/09/2009 20:34

Hi Ladies,

Have been absent for some time ... but now can announce that mysticbarbie is bang on the nail, as I now have a new son

To avoid typing it all out again here is a link to my birth announcement. He was 9lbs and 5oz - very eye-watering, but we still managed it at home! No name as yet, but he is completely gorgeous.

Will try and scan the thread to see if there is other news now. If I don't fall asleep that is as LO if finally having some shut-eye himself.

GracieGirl · 28/09/2009 20:43

Yay!!! Well done Lion! Congratulations!! Don't forget to let us know when you've picked a name.

Sabs really pleased about your husband's interview. Sorry your Gran has hurt herself, I hope your baby doesn't take too long, maybe just after husbands interview?

MrsKate silly DH, they just don't get it do they. I'm around all weekend if you need anything or want some company.

Big hug to Neeko for getting through your EDD.

Huge hug for MLS - we miss you. xx

SabsBigPants · 28/09/2009 20:59

lionstar YAY and CONGRATULATIONS!!! Our second cyber nephew!! Thanks for taking the time out to post on here and let us know the good news...

Will read your birth announcement now but hoping everything went well

sabs waves to gracie

CurlyBigPants · 28/09/2009 21:17

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY lionstar that's wonderful news and welcome to the world for your little boy. All sounds a bit ouch but wonderful too

Big waves to everyone else. Thinking of you all, especially MLS who I hope will be back soon and neeko for her edd yesterday. Hope moon is doing okay too xxx

sabs this is so exciting. I can't believe that here you are 9 months later. Hope your gran gets better soon, I'm sure meeting a new great-grandchild will cheer her up

Still beaming for 4ever and cupcake. More good news please soon

Things have been crazy as usual with me. Still getting sick in the evening and a bit up and down (for no good reason) recently but I've got my scan on wed so hopefully will get to see a lovely bean waving at us

Lots of love and hugs to you all xxx

bluesatinsash · 28/09/2009 21:22

CONGRATULATIONS and big fat well done to Lionstar!!!! - another boy - lovely . 9lb 5oz is definately of the eye watering variety . Hope your basking in the new glow of seeing him here at last - oooh I'm welling up...

Sabs - no pressure or anyfink love, but get a move on avoiding your DH's interview of course . Sorry to hear about your Gran but understand totally why your Mum wants to be near you this week!

Neeko - any excess party food? Fedex it over my way please!! Glad your balloon release went well and you allowed youself to be thoughtful and watch it float up to your lo...

to everyone else xx

BlueMoon1981 · 28/09/2009 21:33

well done lion i'm welling up too xx

bakingqueen · 28/09/2009 21:36

Congratulations lionstar so pleased to hear about your new son hope your all well xxx

cupcakefairy · 28/09/2009 21:44

Lionstar huge congratulations!! Lovely birth story, especially the part about your dd- all sounds very magical.

Vjay keep the Alex pics coming...what a cutie!!

Neeko well done for getting through yesterday brave brave girl.. your balloon bit made me emotional too, so beautiful.

Sabs oooh I'm so excited to see if you'll give us another nephew or a lovely little niece... eep! So pleased for your dh with the interviews.

gracie welcome back, we missed you!

barbie and all you other lovely fretting girls... as Vjay says, it is all out of our control so try to breeeathe.

Hi Curly sorry you're still feeling icky do keep checking in with us.

Jools huge hugs for you.

Iggy lovely girl, keep in touch ok. Horrible how the sadness creeps up on you I know but keep putting one foot in front of the other.

baking so hoping this is your month!

4ever wonderful lady- thinking of you loads with your weebling love praying the treatment all goes smoothly and your poor arm won't be too painful.

Wedding on Sat was absolutely lovely and the rest of our family were so excited about new bean. They kept wanting to talk about names and stuff though and my SIL-to-be asked me if I check every day for a bump I just changed the subject, don't think they quite get the head-in-the-sand routine.
The right-side pains have become just twinges all over so not so paranoid about ectopic now! Gonna try and persuade the mw on Sat for an early scan.

Ooh this is becoming a big post...

CurlyBigPants · 28/09/2009 22:20

Big waves to blue you're turn soon, he he

moon how are you doing honey?

baking hoping too that it is baking month!

cupcake do whatever you have to in order to charm that midwife or you could even get a private scan in lewisham if they won't. I know what you mean about head in the sand. You'll enjoy it all the more later on though when you finally get to relax (a tiny bit) and feel like a normal pregnant person . How long now till you're 7 weeks?

BlueMoon1981 · 28/09/2009 22:30

hi curly i miss you now you're not on so much, its nice to hear from you

i am ok (i think ) struggling a bit again and in hiding for a while, i'm not really here shhh

hope you and bump are ok xx

mermaidspurse · 29/09/2009 08:05

lion well done to you all
