Hi all. Just a quick post. My DH's grandpa passed away last night . Not entirely unexpected but no less painful. I'll be lurking this week but won't post much due to family commitments. Thinking of you all and hoping for baby and scan news to make me smile. Take care all.

VJay · 23/11/2009 13:59

neeko so sorry for your sad news,

buddha and annie I'm on pins here waiting for news, sooo exciting

4ever and blue how have your scans gone? Let us know, I'm lurking all afternoon waiting for news

Still full of the crappy cold so had to miss my post natal swim again! Will hopefully be fit and well and back to it next week.

Right off to do my tesco shop, online ofcourse.

MrsKate · 23/11/2009 14:23

oooohhh im so excited for buddha and annie

sorry about your dh grandpa neeko gid hugs to you and your dh xxx

VJay · 23/11/2009 14:29

barbie have just seen your scan pictures, they are brilliant, so clear and so cute.

Right I'm off on the school run now, I hope to see some news when I get back

cupcakefairy · 23/11/2009 14:34

Ah Blue you had me going about December ladies I thought you meant one of ours and buddha had announced on facebook or something.. sooooo exciting that she might be gazing at her LO right now (or crying about painful nipples, one of the two!!)

Neeko so sorry about your sad news that is horrible. But amazing your dh got to feel baby...I told my dh that and he straight away put his hand on my tummy and said 'I want to too!' (I'm sure I felt two tiny flutters at the weekend by the way..but my Mum says it's too early, pah.)

LBM Wow, I love your dd's name it is lovely... I forgot to mention Jude by the way...another name I love for a boy but dh hates.

Blue hope your dinner with dh was lovely- you made me well up a bit with your declaration of love. I totally feel the same about my dh he has been so sweet and accomodating about everything & I would be a quivering wreck without him.. hooray for Emmsy dh/dps

Hi Iggy I'm ok thanks really enjoying the writing course and it's inspiring me for the book which is really cool.

Jools hope the training goes well.

Moon so sorry about af but I'm so glad you feel a little better. A Christmas BFP would be perfect and I'll join Vjay in the wishing for that

Baking so glad you have a PLAN and really hope the new year brings a fresh new start for you.
I've probably already said this on here but recently I keep looking at the pics we took on NYE last year...we were away at a cottage in mid-Wales with our best friends and had fireworks and glasses of bucks fizz outside and I just look so happy and carefree in the pics. That girl had no idea 2009 was going to be a horrible dark year. So this year I'll be going into the new year with a lot of apprehension and let's hope it turns out to be a brilliant one for all of us. (Sorry that was a bit speech-y wasn't it! I'm going to go eat a refrigerated Mars bar now a la Blue.)

barbie1 · 23/11/2009 15:07

Finally got some time to myself so i can sit and induldge in a little mumnetting for a while

Still no news from buddha i think she is still in the hospital, ill keep checking fb as im sure her dh will update as soon as anything happens, ill keep you posted!

jools poor dp, i hope he is better now, what a bummer of a time for you to go away i have everything crossed that you ovulate late and will be having a fab start to 2010, which also goes for baking as well. Sounds like things are a little clearer for you since your appt. I hope you manage to put it all behind you and see the new year in with a bang

bluemoon i cried tears of frustration for you, having had a cycle that went on for 100 plus days i know what a head f**k it can be....its almost a relief when af arrive because at least you have some kind of outcome. Fingers crossed that like the other girlies on here, you have had a long cycle and will fall in the next one

annie ive been looking to see if you were on fb chat but it seems quiet your end are you in hospital yet??? have you instructed dh to update here or on fb? I hve told my dh all my passwords so he will come on here and update as soon as anything happens to me ignore him if he tries to flirt or is crude....ha ha

neeko poor dh, hope he is bearing up...im sure you will be coming to good news on the thread, take it easy this week...oh and pregnancy brain is getting worse, i left the iron on over night and all day ...

mermaid i hope you are under some bridge...seems everywhere is flooded and causing the westcountry to come to a stand still....and there's me stupidly excited yesterday, dancing barefoot in the garden with the dog because there was a 10 min period of rain

vjay thanks for the comment re scan, what do you think it is???? im getting impatient to know now! I have watched the video about 10 times, and im sure i can see something between the legs, but on googling 4d scan pics all babys have a bulge most people think it looks pretty so its a girl but they have only seen the one pic as they arent as privaledged as you girls hope babyvjay is being a good boy for mummy. Quick question, do you put him in a cot at night or moses basket???? im going to be a hopeless mummy, i really have no idea

blue and 4ever how did the scan go ladies...updates pls!

cupcake how many weeks now??? glad the creative writting is goin well, im just getting into another jodi picot book, the one where the little girl talks to god...cant remember the name but its ok so far....any more thought on your book, ill sell you the rights to my hap hazard life if you want

iggy are you remembering to breathe in all that sand???

lbm are you believing its real yet???

I have forgotten people and im so very sorry, i have to make a move as mil is in court today facing the bastard evil man who glassed her eye and made her lose her sight im hoping i can get to talk to her during the recess....

Take care
love B xxx

barbie1 · 23/11/2009 15:09

mermaid i hope you are NOT under some bridge!!!!!

VJay · 23/11/2009 15:36

Ok back off the school run...
barbie I put Ajay in a moses basket, and he's still in it now. I don't think he'll be in it for much longer though as he's quite big As for the sex of your baba I wouldn't like to say as you're the mystic one around here . When we had our 2D scan with Ajay the lady scanned between his legs and we saw eveything very clearly.
As for you saying that you hope mermaid is under a bridge, I thought you were calling here a troll

Now I will be refreshing for news from blue 4ever buddha and annie, inbetween feeding and getting the tea ready etc...

mermaidspurse · 23/11/2009 16:03

sorry I have been awol -

  1. 4ever is fine and all is well with little bean
  1. buddha very excited about one of the original emmsys about to/has popped a graduate thinking of you all heaps.
  1. neeko a sad and hard time but hopefully a life well lived.x
  1. annie frustrating but worth the suspense thinking of you heaps.

5.jools a huge hug and big shiny star is winging its way to you and to dp. A sad place and a no fun place and we are going to all party into the new year and make it a much better one. x

  1. running out of time - barbie bloody cold under this bridge melt at scan photo and hope you are not doing too much and what a bump you have, I sneeked a look.
and omg I forgot about the glassing incident, so hope that it all gets sorted out in court, awful to have that hanging over her head all this time.x
  1. hope all our northern ladies blue vjay are ok in this awful weather keep warm and cosy.x vjaythis cold is the pits.

so moon take heart cos I remember the 100 day cycle - it wnet on a looooong time!

I have to go out I may be gone some time

iggypiggy · 23/11/2009 16:05

I has booked viability scan now for 7th Dec... When I will be 7 + 6 - so 2 weeks to go...

iggypiggy · 23/11/2009 16:06

Hi Mermaid

Yay for 4ever

Joolsiam · 23/11/2009 16:11

Still no news ??

I've been training since 9am - just sat down to let the second trainer take over for the rest of the day - absolutely shattered !! Am ovulating now - just checked and I'd got my CD's wrong - CD15 today, so another clockwork cycle - quite a painful ov though and I've bloated up like a balloon.

Feel so much better since talking to the GP, even though nothing has been done yet

Oh, DP is fine today - better than fine in fact as he is far less stressed and a nicer person after a seizure - kind of like blowing a fuse and releasing lots of pressure Hopefully that will bode well for TTC

Barbie your poor MIL That sounds horrific. Where are your scan pics ? I wanna play guess the flavour !

I'm laughing at the allegation that Mermaid is a troll living under a bridge Come out, come out wherever you are - hope all is OK

Sorry to hear your news Neeko - it is sad and hard to come to terms with, expected or not.

Welcome back MLS

Happy Monday to everyone else

barbie1 · 23/11/2009 16:19

iggypiggy · 23/11/2009 16:24

barbie that video is amazing! Can't believe how much you can see!

putting head back in sand x

bluesatinsash · 23/11/2009 17:30

Oh barbie - that was amazing!! I think its a boy and a very bonny one at that .

Neeko - honey, didn't know your news before I txtd you earlier. So sorry to hear about your DH's Grandpa's passing . I'm sure you will be a great support for him this week. My EDD is the 11 year anniversary of my Gran's passing and my Mum is bittersweet about it...

Fantastic news on 4ever's scan - and exhale .

No news on Budha - harrumph. Hope it all went smoothly and she's in the post-birth utopia - its amazing

cupcake - you know I need to send DH out now for a Mars Bar .

Vjay - I can believe little Ajay is nearly outgrown his basket - big strapping lad

Hey mermaid - its not too bad up here, wild at night but seems to settle during the day

Iggy - let the hand holding commence in the days 'til your scan...

Talking of which mine went really well to the point that my pregnancy is now deemed 'normal' again and I have a rescheduled consultant appointment next week (from the one that was abandoned on 28th Oct) to discuss my birthing options - yay! I may get my natural VBAC after all... My pg is being allowed to 'run its course' barring any emergenices of course. What a relief after four weeks of being on red alert with my hopsital bag packed... babyblue is weighing @ 7lbs too

Better go, everyone has just arrived home.

Will pop back later xx

VJay · 23/11/2009 17:48

Wow barbie that scan was really amazing, and I'm thinking it's a boy too. DS1 was watching some of it and says it's very cute .

mermaid the weather hasn't been too bad up here either, infact I had blue skies up here today

4ever and blue so glad you both had fab scans, and blue must be relief that you are normal again

barbie1 · 23/11/2009 18:02
