Evening all

Thank you for all of your support & wise words. I think I've spent so many weeks feeling angry/sad/jealous/bitter/gloomy that I'd forgotten how kind & sympathetic you all are.

Barbie yes I will definitely try & concentrate on the positive things from now on.

Blue wise words as always, yes I do think about 4ever lots when I'm at my lowest & she is a stronger lady than me for being able to pour her heart out. I'm a typical cancerian & when the going gets tough I scuttle back into my shell.

Moon thank you for being there, I know how much you too have been struggling recently. Neeko told me when I was in Rome that you were having a hard time & I asked her if she had your number as I think you & I were both fighting with our demons at the same time.

Vjay you are so lovely, you have your hands full & you are still there for others. Don't ever go away.

Cupcake I hope your prediction is right for a Christmas BFP. Did you manage to get your scan pic online?

Neeko did you succeed in getting some r&r this weekend & are you now raring for work tomorrow?

Jools yes I remember your last cp clearly. In fact for that week when I was doing untold hpt's which gradually faded into nothing while my symptoms remained, your words "I've never been so sure of anything in my life" were ringing in my ears. I guess the ultra sensitive hpt's we have now are able to tell us things before they are meant to be.

Curly bless you for saying that everyone is rooting for me, that made me smile.

Waves to everyone & lets hope this week is a more positive one on our thread.

bluesatinsash · 29/11/2009 21:32

Hi Curly - just logged on after putting DS to bed (he's up way late tonight ) MAHOOSIVE post indeed but lovely to hear from you. You're probably in bed now so I won't stay long...

I had SF jag last Thurs after weeks of debating and decided to go for it as (a) is protects soon to be here lo and (b) I always get winter chest infection so if I do again I'll hopefully avoid SF to boot . Been getting Gaviscon on prescription for months - two bottles per prescription and they taste rank but do work.

Intruiged by your name . We have two girls names and three boys names but can't narrow them down...

Anyway, lovely to hear from you and hope the next 6.5 weeks at work fly by - you have xmas in amongst them to break it up too - ho ho ho!

Curly x post but glad to see you back to your massive posting usual self. You are very kind.

bluesatinsash · 29/11/2009 21:39

Hey MLS - x-post! You sounds more positive tonight and hope all our posts have made you realist how special you are to us all .

I am one to talk about pouring things out as I also retreat when things get bad (and yet I'm a Gemini who never bloody shut up ) in my head - if you remember I could barely post during my dark weeks of bleeding daily from 6-10 weeks. We all cope differently but what I was trying to say is don't fell you can't post because you're down, that's what we're all here for to pick you up the best we can.

What is your DD after for Xmas? My neice is the same age as your DD and is getting a Doll's House .

OP posts:
MummyLovesSadie · 29/11/2009 21:50

Blue I promise I won't disappear again & I will try my hardest to post when I'm feeling low. Dd had a doll's house for her birthday last month, she's saying for Christmas she wants a blue 'putie' (computer)!

bluesatinsash · 29/11/2009 21:59

at your DD. I'm sure you can get a wee Peppa Pig one that will satisfy her needs . We took DS to Toys R Us yesterday for the first time and he nearly expired with happiness at all the LEGO - reminded me of me when I used to go into Space NK with lots of disposable income

Really hope you do post more but even if you don't, as Curly says, we're all rooting for you. I also think you're going to have a boy next time!

Going now, back has seized up in this crap chair and DH has posted me missing downstairs. You sleep tight and to quote Scarlett O'Hara - tomorrow is another day x

OP posts:
MummyLovesSadie · 29/11/2009 22:07

I can't have a boy - they have willies & things!

I'm off to bed too, night night. x

CurlyBigPants · 29/11/2009 22:11

Hey blue and mls I'm still up and it's lovely to see I haven't scared everyone away with my post

at your dd mls I'd like a new putie too She sounds adorable. I hope you have a magic christmas watching her get all excited

blue you always say the right thing, so I'm very glad you never shut up

Just ate lots of cake which was probably a very very bad idea, but it was LOVELY CAKE

CurlyBigPants · 29/11/2009 22:18

xpost mls night night

I think you'll definitely get a boy now - willy and everything

Smiled at thought of ds nearly expiring with happiness blue. How cute that must have been to watch I just spent the weekend with my lovely nephew and he entertained himself for nearly two hours just crawling under a duvet and pretending he was emerging from a tunnel

Night all. bleugggh at the thought of work tomorrow

barbie1 · 30/11/2009 03:50

Good morning uk!

Im sat here listening to the birds singing and a sleeply dubai come to life, the temperture is a cool 20 degress and the sun is just starting to peak through the trees...

I got a fb message from buddha last night who told me to stalk on her other thread for updates from her, i will cut and paste anything she writes there. I think for the moment she is still in the hospital as she hasnt got any internet access?

mls glad i didnt scare you away...your dd is so cute with all the things she says...so is father christmas going to bring her a blue puter?

curly lovely long post and for perferring a certain sex..nope im not bothered what is is, although i did have a mls moment with the willie thing at the pool on friday a tiny toddler was running around naked and i did think ewwwww im not sure i can cope with cleaning willies!

blue a women after my own heart..love space nk and any other brand of makeup....my name is barbie and im a makeup aholic! i miss working for the estee lauder compainies, all brands of makeup had 65% off for staff, came in handy this time of year for christmas.

NOthing much going on in the barbie house hold apart from requesting to start mat leave early...22nd of dec, just 3 weeks away! I would of had to work christmas day and all the other holidays which i really didnt want to do, and to be honest the 45 mile round trip is getting a little too much in all the dubai traffic. I was also dreading dh family of 5 coming and staying while working at the same time so now i finish the day they arrive and will get as much done with their help while they are here...i still have to find another villa, pack and move!

Hearing buddha go into early labour kicked me into touch, i have up until now had my head firmly in the sand still, not quite believing the whole baby thing....but i could have the baby in 7 weeks if i follow buddhas lead hence dh and i spending the whole afternoon friday nursery shopping, i refused to bring any of it home though so will get it all delievered in jan.

I have been getting really bad leg cramps at night, the other night i woke dh screaming in pain the poor man thought i was going into labour, the look of horror on his face was priceless any tips girls to coping with the pain???? Im scared to go to sleep in case it happens again

oh and finally at my 28 week checkup my doctor told me she didnt like the hospital im registered to give birth at and told me to go to look at another one she likes spent fri morning driving around trying to locate it and then realised it was all closed due to eid public holiday i have to make an appointment to meet with the hospital midwife for a guided tour....the thing is im too scared to go i really dont want to see the delievery room and stuff, the thought of giving birth is really really terrifying me Im trying to play ignorant, avoiding reading past the pregnancy bit in my book, avoiding antenatal classes and such like...im going with the fact ignornace is bliss but i know i have to face these things sooner or later.....

.....just not today

Have a good day everyone xxx

4everhopeful · 30/11/2009 10:00

Agh wobbling weeble here.. Im just so scared about todays scan as never been this far before & just praying its grown & moved, please please please god?

Joolsiam · 30/11/2009 10:52

Thinking positive thoughts today for you 4Ever What time is the scan ??

MummyLovesSadie · 30/11/2009 12:55

Thinking of you 4ever. I'm sure you will be back here later all smiles & we'll all be collectively letting out our bated breaths.

Well I'm on cd15 & desperately trying to ignore my aching boobs & extreme fatigue. I think I may actually have ovulated this cycle after all but ff thinks I o'd three days ago which I don't agree with. I've decided I'm not going to call my consultant for another week & then my blood tests should be back & I should know more what is going on with my cycle.

Barbie I can't believe you start mat leave in three weeks, it's gone so quickly. Yes dd is now getting a blue putie for Christmas - a Peppa Pig one, thanks to Blue for the idea!

Neeko · 30/11/2009 13:18

Afternoon.
Had a text from 4ever "One of the most nervous I've been pre scan as never been this far along before & there was bubba reassuring us! heart strong, moving round like mad, waving arms and legs! Thank god we are so relieved!" Yeah for 4ever MLS so glad that you sound happier. Lets hope this was a successful ov. I'm sure my DD would LOVE a Peppa puter too (how cute BTW) but have spent a fortune on her already and she's getting nothing else.

Will post more tonight but just to annoy cupcake I wanted to say, all Christmas cards written, 12 presents wrapped and all marking up to date [smug emoticon]. Probably going to fall flat on my face shortly!

bluesatinsash · 30/11/2009 13:31

YAY! 4ever - so relieved and uber happy for you and your DH xxxx

Neeko - you put us all to shame with your organisational skills .

MLS - eek! at symptoms....

OP posts:
MummyLovesSadie · 30/11/2009 13:32

....and lets out breath. Phew 4ever, hope you can relax an incy bit more now.

Neeko the Peppa putie was only £20 - go on you know she'd love it! Well done on being so organised. Now you can start planning your Christmas day menu! We have decided to cop out of Christmas this year, it will just be the three of us & we are having Christmas lunch in a restaurant.

cupcakefairy · 30/11/2009 14:13

4ever- the weekly YEEEEAHHHHH. Seriously, you have a fighter there. Just so chuffed you're further on than ever it's amazing

MLS what a great idea for Christmas! No washing up that will be lovely.

Neeko we finally ordered the card and other stuff we need to make our Christmas cards yesterday we are way behind!! Bought our parents' pressies on the weekend but still a looong way to go (we both have a tribe of siblings!)

Blue I think it's good to still have a choice of names, then when bubs is born you can decide what they look like

Moon Hope you're doing ok. It's about time you gave us your details my lovely.. loads of us want to support you by text and email too cos MN is such a limited way to be in touch. Do send them to gracie [email protected] - I think that was the address? Hopefully she's still checking it but if not I'm sure kate can give her a nudge.

I did put my scan pic on profile but think it's still set to private or something- will try to tweak it now..

barbie- lol! Had to laugh at your 'cleaning willies' comment..I feel the same, it seems so weird! But then a (male) friend of ours said when they had their baby girl he was freaked out by the tiny little fanjo haha!

Curly!!!! I LOVED the mahoosive post; I've so missed them. That must have taken you an age. Thanks so much for the compliment about the article, you're lovely. My course is a fiction writing one with the OU; tis fab V intrigued about your name choice too, can't wait to hear it

barbie1 · 30/11/2009 14:34

i see your pic cupcake v cute!

bluesatinsash · 30/11/2009 14:36

Hey Cupcake - what a lovely and clear scan photo . Blue Peter badge is en route for your home made xmas cards!

In the defence of boys and their willies (is that the plural of willy or is it willy's? ). They are tiny and packaged really well - v. easy to clean - no 'folds' of you get my drift . I was also never peed on by DS - clever boy .

Barbie - good to see your 'pooter is letting you access MN again . Can't believe you're finishing up in three weeks but quite right too, that work of yours is v. long hours and mega drive and you need all your energy for the night feeds to come - . But seriously, just try and relax and enjoy some 'barbie' time before lo arrives. Don't fret too much about birth, what will happen will happen. Some people have easy peasy births and others not so much but its all forgotten about when you get home and look into your baby's eyes .

Cupcake and Vjay - Wed night for LA?? I'll be crying @ 1 hour in when 'both sides now' starts playing no doubt .

barbie1 · 30/11/2009 14:41

Whooopppppiiiieeeeee 4ever hope the weeble is firmly up right now!

I found a weeble xmas decoration in moonson today well tbh its more like a russian doll but closest to a weeble i could find, so everytime i look at this for years to come i will always remember all of you and our amazing journeys

curly your like girl isnt going to be called emma/ emily or something like that in honour of the thread? im so want to know now!

mls at you going out for christmas lunch, i have all the family here and no doubt will spend hours preparing in advance as they only arrive 2 days prior to christmas...i have been trying to find a turkey and they cost soooo much, in the region of £100! Think i might settle for a frozen one and then get a nice bit of beef or something. The turkey can then be just a token gesture. I will so miss my mums christmas lunch though

barbie1 · 30/11/2009 14:45

x post with blue at willy's, folds and being peed on! ...cringing as well at the thought of them playing with themselves once that little bit older!

bluesatinsash · 30/11/2009 14:54

barbie you've got it all to come!

I've just peeped at Buddha's other thread, sounds like her and Ewan have had a tough time . He has been on oxygen and had suspected meningitus and Strep B but was feeding well and getting stronger as of the weekend. Buddha - sending you ALL our prayers xxx

The worry never ends....

OP posts:
barbie1 · 30/11/2009 15:02

just to add to blues post.....buddha gave the lo his frist breast feed but has to wait for 5 days to get the all clear from meningtus, thankfully the first test came back clear. poor girl, after everything she went through to get this far and now this set back. Im sure they will both be fine and im sure we will all send positive thoughts

cupcakefairy · 30/11/2009 15:31

Yes, Wednesday is good for me Blue...about the only night I'm free this week actually, yay stupidly excited! Dh even said he'd watch it with me as he hasn't seen it since twas in the cinema and quite fancies it

Thanks, everyone has been saying how clear the pic is..either they had v good gear at the hospital or we have a v photogenic child My Mum thinks it looks like a boy just from that pic

cupcakefairy · 30/11/2009 15:32

Oh and how insensitive of me- meant to say a big meeeeh to buddha that's so rubbish after every hurdle to still be fighting. Really hope she's doing ok.
