[bluesatinsash]

Come on over, its cosy now mermaid has bought the throws and insulated the greenhouse

Sabs Hello My goodness - I just took a peek at little Saara, and she is just scrumptious! Congratulations on such a gorgeous girl, and she sounds like she's doing really well! Must've been lovely to introduce her to her great-nan, and probably rather emotional. Bet they were thrilled to meet her

Mermaid You do have a good memory! I shall gratefully accept any sticky baby dust that's thrown my way, thanks! Lord knows we've tried everything else It has been such a long year, can't believe that I started out this year with such high hopes, feels like wasted energy Mind you, I do feel a bit more hopeful now after your wonderful news...
How did you get on at Boots earlier? Did you get everything you need? If it's any use I've been told to take 100mg of aspirin upon getting a BFP, and to just keep going with it. It's great that you had a nice bold line on the hpt, means that all the right stuff is happening

4ever It's nice to have been missed I shall endeavour to come back more often! How are you feeling? When is your next scan? Am so happy this pg is going well for you, after all that you've been through...
I haven't been up to much, but have had some tests over the summer and it turns out I have endometriosis. I had a laparoscopy about ten days ago and they took it out, plus a cyst that that I had on my ovary. Am still off work, so am using this opportunity to do important things like be on MN Dr seems hopeful this'll do the trick (the op, not the being on MN ), but I know someone who has endo, had a lap and still isn't pg, so it's difficult to believe it might finally happen.

Neeko I didn't realise you were 24 weeks, wow you must have a lovely bump by now That's so weird that you saw a BFP plate this morning, there is definately some psychic stuff going on here!

Just got back from collecting ds from school so am off to scoop him up in a big fat cuddle...

My nan's become so weak due to her diabetes and Alzheimer's. Bless her, she kept on forgetting DD's name. We had to gently keep on reminding her that her name is Saara and we named her after her....

Lol sabs I've teated mermaid too, I've only ever texted blue

Hi monkey lets hope all these procedures now bring on a BFP for you, fingers crossed

X posts Blue Thanks re ds, yours is pretty gorgeous too Am also loving your bump pic - makes it all a bit more real to see bumps rather than just imagine them! Think it might've grown a wee bit since that was taken though - how long have you got to go now? Am presuming it's less than a month, so good luck for whenever it happens! You must be very excited now!

texted not teated, now that would be interesting

Thanks VJay Congrats on Ajay too, you must be very proud

Thanks monkey

Teated mermaid Vjay? sounds like you squirted milk at her across the room .

Hope your op has sorted everything out for you monkeybum and 2010 srtarts with a BFP. There was at least a reason for you not falling pg which has now hopefully been rectified . I'm due on 18th so two weeks on Friday and bump is huuuge and then some. Can't see toes or yard of carpet in front of them .

DS is stirring, later ladies! x

monkey you have been through the wringer I am going to keep everything tightly crossed that the surgery will have helped and you just make sure you do lots of resting after that op.

4ever bless you and thank you. Please can you ship that skip load of sand back?

oh sorry gracie I am shocked cos I thought you were safely cocooned organising your staplers and yellow post it notes. Lovely to see you back though and just you take it easy. I hope your friend is managing after his mum passing away, Christmas will be hard for him this year poor chap.

Thank you all love you all loads, don't know what I would do without you all.xxxxx

Mermaid u can have the sand lovely, i shall also make u one of my cotton wool wrap dresses with matching cotton wool long johns, ugg style boots & snood (remember them girls? They are back in fashion yknow & fab for hiding in!) We will however look like cloned twins as im wearing the same attire til at least march!

mermaid I just can't believe it I'm soooooo so chuffed for you, can't stop smiling see we all said getting rid of that baby stuff would do the trick! Plus, Iggy needed a pal on the medium pants bench for when we all desert her..it's fate
Btw I texted iggy last night and she's fine just v busy

You girls have all been making me laugh so much what with Curly propositioning MLS and Vjay's typo

Sabs your girl is gorgeous and that hat is so fab...I miss hoping.

Congrats on all the milestones being reached girls and hi monkey I don't believe we've met either had a sneaky look at your pics though - at your ds but even bigger at your kitten!! So cute!!

I am so excited about Love Actually night tomorrow...I listened to the soundtrack on my ipod today and got in the mood So if you really-love-Christmas, come on and let it snoooow

OMG, OMG. OMG - mermaid this is the most fantastic news!!!! ,

Now get snuggly in the sand and breathe - obviusly not with your face in the sand as you'll suffocate but you know what I mean!!

You are so not to old - as I keep saying both my grandmas had babies in their 40's ( one had twins at 44) and that was sixty odd years ago!

BTW - did you give the cotbed away?

Got to go - so excited that I've burnt my te!!

Well what a fab day on the thread . Mermaid I hope now you realise how much you mean to us all & how happy every single one of us is for you. I can honestly say that your news didn't even make me feel the tiniest bit , just very happy & smiley. You so deserve it. Ok so what I'd like to know is did you have any symptoms, did you suspect you were up t'duff???

Welcome back monkey, there will always be a place for you here. Do you still live in Belgium? It's been a very happy day for you to come back & how fortunate that there is now space next to Jools, Moon and I on the small panters bench. Talking of Moon of course you can remain anonymous..... unless of course you are actually someone famous which is why you are being secretive & if that is the case we want to know who you are now !

Sabs I'm loving the pics of Saara & how touching that she is wearing Hopings hat. Hopefully she is still having the odd lurk & will see your pics. Did you manage to give away your hpt's & opk's btw?

Barbie I know you've not checked the thread today but please don't go into labour when you read Mermaid's news!

Blue I'm feeling much more my usual self thanks. Not long at all for you now, eek! Do you feel ready? I remember a few days before dd was due thinking "Help I'm suddenly not ready", even though I'd done all of the organising I could have possibly done. Are you having another scan?

Buddha sending you & Ewan positive vibes. You have been through so much, it is only fair that you come home soon & when you do he's a good boy for his Mummy.

Neeko sorry I made you cry (for the second time ) this morning with the news about Mermaid. How were your rolls?

Hello Annie come back soon & tell us all about little Ellis.

Waves to everyone I've missed, off to wrap some prezzies now.

P.S. Mermaid if you don't already, you are going to have to start watching 'Enders as Roxy Mitchell has just found out she is pregnant so can be your on-screen due-date buddy!

Sorry - have missed Buddha the last few days - sending much love in your direction. AS the others have said, baby Ewan is such a special boy and you just don't deserve this. Take care of your selves and eat lots of chocolate - actually, do make sure you eat. Hope you have recovered yourself from the birth and your horrible spd

Im really lookin forward to our Love Actually fest too cupcake! My super lovely Dddddh went on a mission to get us a copy trawling every shop in the high st & eventually one of his workmates mums is gonna lend it bless him! He came home with my fave thorntons chocs & my 1st xmas card as its now dec! Melt! I heart him so much he is adorable! He even said will paint my toes while we watch it 2moro! Poor lovely not a happy bunny now tho as losing at footy, grr! So, are we simultaneously watching it then?

Forgot to add, Curly ff takes into account your temp, your cm & your opk's. My opk's went a bit funny this month, I think I might have had a + before I thought I did if that makes sense. Therefore I think I ov'd before ff thinks I did. Anyhoo my temp is up now so no chance of a quickie from you or anyone else !

Gracie so glad you are back, I can't believe how far along you are, it's gone so quick. Any chance of a bump photo on your profile?

Hello MLS big wave to u! We seem to be x posting but not saying hi to each other...!?!

Hello 4ever I can't muster up the energy to wrap prezzies so instead am lying on the sofa in jim-jams with laptop, I'm A Celebrity & and empty bowl that was full of ice-cream 5 mins ago! .

Have you started to get a bump yet? My tummy seemed to pop out when I was at your stage.

Hi all. Still grinning for mermaid who I also texted today to the lost phone! I have to admit that I've told at least half a dozen people

MLS bought myself a huge cheese salad roll and a cake from the bakers and billed DH!

I'm baking my 1st ever Christmas cake so off to check it in oven.

Good stuff mls! Had to forsake im a celeb for footy but caught the eviction! Im also ignorin my pile of pressies to wrap! Oh & yep quite a bump but never really lost it from oth pregs, put on a stone & a half since so not sure how much is valid baby bump! .....Neeko baking xmas cakes at 10pm?! good god woman ur nesting is in overdrive!

Neeko will you be doing a snowy scene on top of your cake or are you going to cheat & use a sheet of icing??

Also forgot to say earlier, Sabs my dd is 2 & I still check on her at night to make sure she is breathing. Unfortunately that fear NEVER leaves you.

Right I'm off to bed now.... well I am in bed already with my laptop propped up on my knees ! No wonder my dh thinks I spend too much time online!
