Hey there 4ever I am an obedient sort so will obey your instruction to stay in bed except hungry now so must go on a hunting expedition for some food!!! I have only two weeks left to do after Christmas so am very excited. Also following advice from blue to take 4 weeks before as I've got some annual leave to use up.

4ever it's easier to go to work knowing there is an end date so hopefully will not be so bad for you in Jan xxx

blue lol at ds's birthdate What an exciting way to ring in the New Year so let's hope this little one is more compliant On the other hand, how excited would we all be to have an xmas day emmsys baby though (sorry!!!)

barbie1 · 16/12/2009 12:50

snow?????? grrrrrrrr im so jealous!

Rush home from work to wait in the hand holding of mermaid....still no news??

Barbie moment of wednesday to give you all a giggle...

I park the babie mobile next to a pillar in work, so chances of being hit by other 4x4 are minimal...

Returned to car today and found i couldnt get in, a car had parked way too close to the driver side, and the passenger side wouldnt open due to the pillar ....managed to open the door a little but realised bump was in the way...

Tried to squeeze bump back into my pre pregnancy size 8 and obviously that didnt work, tried turning sideways....that didnt work....opened the boot and thought about climbing over the seat but then realised id probably get stuck....

Stood sctratching my head working out how to move bump out of the way when i caught a guy watching....

Him...are you ok?

Me...hmm...no, some stupid idiot parked too close and now i cant move the bump to get in!

Him...what an idiot eh?

Me...yeah must of been a stupid man...

Him...bet you want the idiot to come and move the car eh?

Me...yes, that would be very useful!

Him...as he opens the car door...ok then, ill move it!

me...

Doh!!!!

cupcake lovely that you heard the heart beat, a v special moment indeed...

blue i bet little blue will be very good and wait until after boxing day to show...

jools hello, nice to see you back...

Hi everyone else too....

bluesatinsash · 16/12/2009 13:17

oh Barbie - LOL at you contemplating climbing through the boot! Least the driver sounded like he had a bit of a sense of humour .

If anyone's at a loose end, I've posted my shortlist of three girl's names on baby names thread and would welcome opinions!

Curly - glad you're taking a good time off before. Be warned, you will eat your way through it but what the hell! I've just had a Drifter and it was scrum.

Psyching myself up to clean floors and bathrooms...

Neeko · 16/12/2009 13:38

Just checking...

Barbie Love the story.

Blue just pretend to clean the bathrooms. You live with boys so they won't notice.

Cupcake and 4ever yay to lovely heartbeats.

Moon take deep breaths of the cleared air and welcome back to the real you.

Curly very of your long lie

Jools glad to see you back, I was about to stalk text you to see you were ok

Iggy one day less to go

Got to go. Bell's gone - grr!

mermaidspurse · 16/12/2009 14:02

started this several times and keep deleting sad faces.
I had to keep myself together to take ds to school who after spending the morning with dh at work seems to have made a miraculous recovery.

Its not good news girls and i have to go back in tomorrow morning. The hcgs have risen only slightly which would indicate that it is not viable. I know they should be doubling and working on overtime so I guess its pretty final. The midwife was lovely as per usual and I am to go in if I have any pain, guess they are worried about eptopic and have to make sure etc etc.

Thank you all for being there and being so sweet and thoughtful and I hate to add sadness to a lovely christmas thread.

barbie1 · 16/12/2009 14:06

blue i have commented on your name choices

Also, to add to my story...good job i didnt try to climb through the boot...dh tells me i could of just dropped the back seat from the boot and slide over nicely!

You learn something new every day!

4everhopeful · 16/12/2009 14:13

Iv just said all this to you lovely Mermaid & all i can do is repeat how very very sorry, sad, devestated & upset i am for you... Its so bloody unfair you have to go through this again... Love u lots

barbie1 · 16/12/2009 14:29

Oh shit..i x posted with mermaid and didnt even see your post.

Damn, blast....grrrr....so bloody unfair.

I wish it was a different outcome for you, but please dont worry about bringing down the thread, we are here always for you...christmas or no christmas.

I hope you can get some rest today, im thinking of you x

BuddhaBellySaggyPants · 16/12/2009 14:40

Mermaid I've just been trying to read all the posts I've missed out on over the last week or more, and then when I got to the end I'm so sorry that things don't seem to be working out for you yet again. Life is so f*&%ing unfair (apologies girls for the swearing but I feel it's deserved) I can't believe you are going through this again, I really hoped that this was the one for you especially after hanging up your TTC hat

I was going to fill you in on what's happening in my life, but I just don't feel like it now, will try and come on tomorrow.

Mermaid Hope you can feel me stroking your hair and giving you a huge squeeze x x

CurlyBigPants · 16/12/2009 14:44

Oh mermaid I am so so sorry and sad for you What time are you going in tomorrow morning?

This is so unfair, I know all of us on this thread deserve to get pregnant but we all wanted it so badly for you in particular. You have always been there with your words of wisdom and general loveliness. I wish I could find the words now to give you some comfort hon but all I can think of is to give you a massive hug

I know that you had gone commando and maybe this will be the final straw but I just wanted to say that if you do change your mind on those tests in London, the offer to stay with us is open. Too soon to think of those things so I will shut up but just know we're thinking of you and we will all be there to hold your hand tomorrow and after xxx

bluesatinsash · 16/12/2009 14:48

oh Mermaid . I am simply heartbroken for you . Please stay and post and talk and cry if you need to. Look in on your DS tonight when he is sleeping and take enormous pride in the fact you made him xxxx

Joolsiam · 16/12/2009 15:02

MermaidtheBrave

I echo Curly's comments - couldn't have put it better myself. So, so sad for you - we all wanted this for you sooooo much.

Keep talking to us - don't worry about bringing the thread up, down or sideways - that is what it is for.

Big hug from me too x x x

Sabs1981 · 16/12/2009 15:28

I also wanted to add that im thinking of you mermaid and echo both what curly, jools and the others have said. I dont think I can add to that

You know where we are if you want to chat. Hugs, kisses and hair strokes from me

Hi and love to everyone else

Neeko · 16/12/2009 15:36

Mermaid I'm so to hear your news and echo what everyone else has said. Please stick around and talk. You know it helps and you've been such a rock to us all. No one deserves this but you deserve it least. Big hug.

CurlyBigPants · 16/12/2009 16:02

The talk of hairstrokes for you mermaid has me in tears thinking of what you are going through this afternoon Please hang in there with us or if you don't feel like talking, let us in hang in there with you until you do. As jools and the others have said, we created this thread to be there for each other. Cry, scream, shout or do whatever you need to get through this. Whenever you are feeling alone, just pop down to the greenhouse and we'll all be waiting with a cosy throw, some hot chocolate and all the hairstrokes in the world. Big hugs to your lovely dh too xxx

GracieGirl · 16/12/2009 16:47

Oh Mermaid I'm so sorry, its just not fair. Am I allowed to still pray for a miracle in tomorrows blood tests?

VJay · 16/12/2009 17:29

Oh mermaid I am so so sorry. I can't put into words what I want to say, I wish I could just give you a massive hug in rl.

mermaidspurse · 16/12/2009 17:50

a miracle would be good gracie

at the risk of me sounding like one of those terrible oscar ceremony speeches all the things you have said heee and in previous dozens of threads have made me get through these times so much more in one piece than I ever could have been otherwise.

I have a date with a prawn curry and the sofa in a minute but just wanted to send you a mixed with a bit of a and a fair amount of but its ok.

so if you want to shuffle along and wait for one of gracies miracles then its 10.10 in the morning.

iggypiggy · 16/12/2009 18:07

Oh mermaid I so so wanted this for you - as curly says - it isn't that anyone deserves it more than others, but I so so wanted this to be your turn. I am going to hope like gracie for a miracle. xxxxx

MummyLovesSadie · 16/12/2009 18:49

Mermaid I'm crying writing this. I'm so sad for you. The day you had your bfp I was smiling all day. You deserve so much for it all to work out - we all know how strange things can happen to fetal size, blood count etc so lets hope that this is one of those anomalies.

Sorry everyone for my lack of posts recently, dd had hand, foot & mouth and then she gradually went downhill & it was confirmed on Friday that she had swine flu. She's almost recovered now, I'm having a massive bit of an emotional slump right now but reading the thread today puts it all in perspective.

4everhopeful · 16/12/2009 18:58

Ill be praying for that miracle too you inspirational & brave lovely lady... Never ending supply of hugs coming your way from me x x x x x

MrsKate · 16/12/2009 19:27

ahh mermaid thinking of you xxxxxxxx

CurlyBigPants · 16/12/2009 19:36

lovely mermaid we'll be there tomorrow morning and praying for that miracle xxx

Big hugs for mls too and your dd, poor little love. I'm glad she's on the mend.

BlueMoon1981 · 16/12/2009 19:42

mermaid i am so so sorry i really truly hoped this was your time, i can't say anything else that hasn't already been said, but am thinking of you lots and sending you a big fat squeezy hug xxx
