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

Oh thank goodness, hooray for 4ever, thanks for the update mermaid

jools my heart goes out to you, I do so hope you can try and have a nice birthday

Great news for 4ever. Another hurdle passed

Jools What a sad and painful story. I hope this year's birthday begins the healing. Take care and try not to be so hard on yourself.

Mermaid Your posts really make me laugh. You'll need to attach one of those whistling key finder things to your phone and hope you don't forget how to whistle!

Iggy The small pants bench will bulk up again soon. Hope you're hanging in there and spending lots of healing time with your horse.

Still not heard from the woman about accident

4ever Thank goodness all is OK, you did have us a little worried there I am so happy for you
Jools I have a split personality today as I am as sad for you as I am happy for 4ever Anniversarys are sad enough without all the extra baggage you have worrying about whether to TTC or not, DP issues etc. I just wish I could wave a magic wand and make you feel better, how about a huge hug, a hair stroke and some fat-free posh chocolates instead? Really hope you can enjoy your break away, but I fully understand that it will be hard. Go easy on yourself x
Mermaid So pleased you found your phone! Made me smile where you found it
Iggy I know you probably feel very lonely but hang on in there, you never know what's round the corner x
Neeko Maybe the woman you hit has got pg brain too Hope DD is better today?
Barbie I too hated the 5/6 month transition it took soooooooo long! Everyone told me that the last 10 weeks would drag, so far it's speeding by!
Curly I'm with Cupcake on the making me well up you naughty girl! Men and babies melt my heart
Cupcake Only 4 more sleeps now
Blue Lol at you sucking your thumb!
MrsKate Glad they sent you home after your little escapade, hope you are fully recovered?
LBM 9 weeks, gosh that's gone quick!

I have my scan on Thursday to see if the placenta has moved or not, also not sure if I'm going to be able to last the next 4 weeks I've got left at work due to back/pelvic pain But I am still smiling

4ever - another scan closer to exhailing... fantastic

Jools - life can be so cruel in terms of date associations. I remember when you joined original Emmsy's having had your mc on what would have been your 12 week scan date - just awful . Maybe think of turning 40 as new chapter, starting afresh, and your weekend will be full of good memories which will help diminish last year's ones. I hope to God it does xx

Buddha - poor you and your pelvic girdle pain . At least your mat leave is just over the horizon. Hope all goes well on Thurs... Just think it may be your last scan before you meet your baby

mermaid - I somehow don't think your mobile is of the i-phone variety . Good use of your Ds's half term though getting him to help look for it

Cupcake - my SIL has her scan on Friday too! Only four sleeps....

Iggy - was sorry to see a wee emotion from you as you were so chipper last week. Remember we were ALL on commando/small bench at one point...

Neeko - fingers crossed accident lady has lost your details...

They've started a sweep on me at work - guessing date of delivery and weight. Not bothering with sex and they're all convinced I'm having a girl!

Had a big purge on E-Bay last night and already sold 3 x bottles of (unwanted duty free from MIL)perfume, 1 x old chassis/wheels from pram (have treated myself to new one) and have comeone from Australia tracking an old COAST dress of mine - kerching $$$!

Talking of chassis, going to take my large one off to bed

Night All xx

Hi Buddha DD is much better today although apparently had a 2 hour tantrum for the childminder! She's never done anything like that before so hope it's not the start of something.
Sorry to hear you're struggling so much. Hope it eases soon. At least you know it will be worth it. Take care.

jools I'm so sad for you. I was thinking of you and Moon and iggy today and wondering if any of you would be lurking I wish I could find the words to give you back hope. Please just hang in there a little while longer, better days just have to be around the corner xxx

neeko I'm so glad that dd is feeling better

Wonderful news 4ever I was so happy to hear your news from the lovely cupcake. Another milestone reached. When is the next one? Now we all have to hold cupcakes hand till friday for her scan

blue loving the ebaying girl... I think it must be a form of nesting beause I'm selling everything but the kitchen sink at the moment

buddha I think we are pregnancy twins. I'm having horrible pelvic girdle pain at the moment. I was crying with the pain last night, couldn't get my trousers off, could barely walk which was made worse by the fact that I then had to be sick and couldn't bend down properly over the toilet seat so poor dh had a helluva mess to clear up Also will have the scan at 34 weeks to see if the low lying placenta has moved This darling little one is going to be trouble methinks

Big waves to mermaid I've really missed reading your posts Can't believe you live in Cornwall and are allergic to fish

barbie I so know what you mean. I just want to be six months so bad!!!

Big hugs to everyone I haven't mentioned xxxx

Forgot to wave at VJ hey give us some news on young Optimus Prime

hi ya all

ahh im soo happy for 4ever and her bean xxxx

im doing ok still having pains but no bleeding so hope all is well . ive got plenty of padding for boris anyway

cupcake if its a girl its borisetta lol

buddha that pelvic pain is the most painful thing I so sympathise I suppose they gave you one of vjays strap on thingys?
how is your poor dh with his flu? hope everything is ok.x

curly double ouch for your pelvis pain too although not sure if I should be feeling more sorry for your dh at certain points in your post. Still it gently eases our men folk into the icky side of things.

Wait till you manage to walk all the way down the road bumping into everyone you know and then finding out you have a nice trail of baby sick down your back yep those muslin cloths sure are useful.

blue well done with the nesting, loving the sweep does barbie think its a girl though? ps if I had an i phone would it be impossible to loose? does it sprout legs and run looking for me cos I must be on my 3rd rubbish phone this year

cupcake gosh your scan is nearly here at last it will be fine, hope the tears are a little less too.

neeko fingers crosed that the lady gets in contact soon. Your poor dd at least she saves her tantrums for the childminder

kate hope you and boris are ok lol at your padding.

4ever I expect you are back in a vertical position after the weeble wobble yesterday at the scan. So pleased that everything is ok it put a big smile on our faces the rest of the day

right ds is off to a halloween party in home made outfit - preen - although half way through sewing on the 'bones' I wish I had gone and bought one!

Have a nice cosy eveningx

curly and buddha poor yous with the pelvic pain, but just remember that when little one arrives the pain goes

Little optimus is doing fine, he is 8 weeks old today and he's going to have his 1st jabs on Monday, not looking forward to that, and I'm having the coil put back in, which seems very weird, I've now gone full circle!

Was thinking about mm and gracie today, you are both very quiet, I'm sure it's because you are both busy nesting.

When I'm up at 3am I think of things to write on here, but I can never remember them the next day , must be a load of crap!

jools am so for you - my EDD is Nov 10th - which I am not looking forward too, but am also dreading easter sunday, as the anniversary of the MC. I hope you get through all these meaningful dates ok and that you find time to celebrate your birthday too. xx

I am more cheery today- that was just my mid cycle blues again

4ever so pleased to read your news

neeko glad your DD better - I am not sure we getting any new recruits here, but is ok - I feel we should all stick together!

blue is ok am happier again! Good news on the ebay action!

mermaid is it a homemade skeleton? if yes - that sounds v. complex!

cupcake hope you less teary!

buddha thank you. Hope your scan shows good new on the movement front!

curly sorry you in pain - really hope that goes xx

waves to barbie lbm sabs vjay mm kate gg and everyone else!

Hi all.
Did everyone get the email from Hoping? Sounds like she is in a dark place. I hope she gets through the tunnel and out the other side soon. Big hugs to all of you who are lurking and feeling helpless and hopeless.

Mermaid Gold star to you for the Hallowe'en outfit. Make sure you take plenty of pics so you can explain to your inadequate DIL in future that you used to make the outfits yourself!

Iggy Glad you are bouncing back. It must be a relief to at least know that the depression is cycle related and will pass.

Curly That girl of yours is causing you a lot of trouble. She's obviously going to be absolutely no problem as a teenager to make up for it. (Bet I've scared you now by making you think 13 tears ahead )

Vjay Alex is growing so fast. Bet he's a real joy. I burst out laughing at your mention of the coil - seems so funy to have someone on here talking about actively using contraception. You must really feel as if you've reached the finish line. well done to you.

Kate Take it really easy til those pains go. Feet up, remote in one hand, cuppa in other, chocolate on bump

My friend sent me a text pic of her very premature baby boy today. He's gorgeous and looks so alert. had me howling - again

DH is away to Germany til Froday and pg hormones make me a wimp on my own Just going to head to bed and pull the covers over my head!

Oops. Meant to say Cupcake here's my hand for Friday. It WILL help you put your mind at rest at least for a little while and won't be too long after that til your MW can hear the HB.
Hope your Dh's job hunt is going well too.

Where are you all? it's about time MLS came back and 4ever went back to work so we can have some regular posts!

Mermaid How cool did DS's friends find his Mum-made costume?

My DD has discovered lip-balm which she calls make-up. Everytime she puts it on she refuses to close her mouth for at least an hour in case she "wastes" it and talks in a funny voice. If this continues into the teenage years, i'll never need to worry about boys!

Totally irrelevant story. think I'm having MN withdrawal, or maybe I just don't want to do any work

Hi neeko I'm here, I put the computer on two hours ago as I thought Ajay was heading for a nap, and he's just gone down now, the little monkey .

Hi neeko I'm being a naughty girl lurking at work...that's hilarious and cute about your dd!
Dh job hunt getting all the more frustrating. interview in Surrey cancelled as they've decided not to create jobs there- one person had already been given a job and has now been told they don't have one makes me so angry they're messing about with peoples' livelihoods. There are other possibilities around though...

Yes got email from hoping I'm glad she let us know she's ok but still worried about her praying for a bumper crop of BFPs before Christmas!

4ever YESS to the good news.. 4everbean clearly wants to meet us all

blue I'm so intrigued about who your SIL is (she's on the May thread right?) had a moment yesterday of starting to look forward to telling people..soooo hope we can!

Aww Curly and Buddha sounds like you're both having a rough time really hope it improves soon!

Massive hugs to jools and iggy with horrible nasty dates coming up. Iggy isn't it so weird that the November girls are starting to pop.. my LO would have been due Monday I just can't get my head around it!

It's our wedding anniversary today..can't believe it was 3 years ago today I was marrying my lovely man

Hi girls,

I'm here although my nerves are lying at the side of a road halfway to Stirling .

Had my 32-week scan/consultant appointment this morning, baby measuring 33 weeks, all looking good bar the heartbeat which was still irregular. Cue lots of panicking midwives, doctor called, failed to get a trace as machine wasn't working. DH and me sent to Stirling with the view that we might have to have the baby today - me in floods saying nonsense things like "we've not even agreed on a name yet", how is DS going to cope, its too early etc. etc. etc.

Saw the same consultant I saw four weeks ago who scanned me right away and calmed me down to a panic. Yes hb is irregular but regularly irregular if that makes sense . Emergeny scenario that they would c-section me today was not required nor giving me steroids to mature baby's lung not required. Instead i'm getting scanned once a week until my due date to reassure me that baby is still growing well etc.

Of course my bloody mother who has her mobile only on 'for emergencies' as long as they are her emergencies was incommunicado and I just want my Mum in these situations .

Anyway, I'm back at work, feeling baby kick away and just glad I don't have to give birth today... I will probably have a delayed nervous breakdown when I get home tonight. This pregnancy has been so so stressful, it never ends does it?

On the plus point its given DH and me a kick up the arse to get our names agreed .

Anyway enough about me!

mermaid - gold 'Cath Kidston' star for you making your DS's costume .

Neeko - your DD sounds such a character .

cupcake SIL doesn't know I know if you know what I mean. I stumbled across her... she has referred to me as being her "SIL who had 2 mc" Only two sleeps to go for you - big hand hold, you've done so well lasting this long with your sanity intact.

Vjay - big wave to you and Ajay!

OMG blue I can't believe what you've been through! Imagine telling you you have to give birth today I'm surprised you didn't go into labour from the shock! Well done for surviving that and getting back to work in one piece! Ha, my Mum is the same...picks up texts about a week after you've sent them

Meant to say before thanks to those who were concerned over tearfulness! I haven't had a proper sob since Friday...but I did cry yesterday when the bus was late

Hi Barbie I'll forward hoping's email on to you..and add you to my emmsy's list. Well done you taking a well-deserved day off! (by the way though, your email address might get a whole load of junkmail from it being published in full form on here...you might want to get MNHQ to alter it...remember gracie's dodgy emails to the emmsys account!)

Just had a text from 4ever she has been reading but can't post from dial-up connection...she says hi to all and she's having a bit of a wobbly day

I can't believe this thread's lasted us almost 2 months!

Oh blue what a scary day , so glad you are ok now and that you are being well looked after with your weekly scans

barbie I hope you are relaxing now. I'm sure your friends will understand .

I've got Ajay sat here next to me in his reclining high chair, and he is enjoying filling his nappy, just thought you'd all like to know , we are all in this together after all

blue dear god woman does it not end this bloody rollercoaster? I do have to admit to lol at your mothers emergencies though. I am so glad you are all ok and that they are scanning you every week. Please please just take it easy.xxx

how about Godffrey?
I don't know why but I have a mental block on girls names.....

that goes for you too barbie glad you have had some good times with visitors. I would never have thought halloween was in Dubai, mad!

Cupcake I am not surprised you get teary it must be truly horrible not being in control of a job and being messed about like that. Scan day is nearly here

4ever afternoon woobly lady another day is nearly over and slowly but surely you will wobble your way through it, although I may need a restorative glass of something occasionally

opps x posted with you vjay but expect you are off to change that lovely boy

Oh ladies I have a confession, I tried the terry nappies today and I've given up after the first one!!! I put one on Ajay this morning, knowing that he only has an afternoon poo (very convienient I know ), anyway after an hour he pooed , so I changed him and his poor skin was soaking wet too, not like a disposable that absorbs all the wetness. Then I went to get the bin to soak the nappy in and realised I'd got the wrong thing, so instead of buying the right bin I'm going to ebay all my terry nappies instead. I feel a like I've let myself down a bit but I'm also relieved as this isn't the weather or time of year to be washing all those nappies

hey mermaid he's feeding at the mo, I'm getting rather good at typing one handed
