Hello my lovely ladies ,
my course books arrived today so will be on here a little less, that is until I get into the swing of it and will be on here all the time again .

4ever I would do the same, there's no point upsetting yourself any more than you have to, and you need to be as stress free as possible.

lion love your pictures, he is thriving isn't he.
I'm getting Ajay weighed on Friday, will give you all an update then. I dread to think what he is now as I've just squeezed him into one of his 3-6 month babygros, the little tubby monster

lion Don't bother with the sheepskin - it is no better. We had a sheepskin and a hot water bottle and he still wouldn't go in!!

BlueMoon1981 · 19/01/2010 21:30

I'm still here, lurking and weebling, just been keeping a low profile but checking you are all ok. A bit fed up and feeling sorry for myself, frustrated that nothing has happened in 6 months but am ok, thank you to all who asked after me.

iggypiggy · 20/01/2010 09:43

moon I was exactly the same as you after 6 months Really hope something happens soon for you xx

Neeko · 20/01/2010 09:53

Hi. Just popping on to give Moon a hug. Your feelings could be partly due to where yopu are in your cycle. remember Iggy felt worse at ov and AF time? Hope you feel better and have a BFP soon.

Morning Iggy14weeks

barbie1 · 20/01/2010 10:20

Hi moon i thinm my lowest point was about 6 months too there isnt anything i can say too you but things will get better....we have all missed you.

I have had a few days of extra energy so have washed all the covers on the sofa's, made 3 pairs of curtains, finished the rest of the villa, did the weekly shop and now im going to do a cookathon, in order to make sure there is food in the freezer after the baby arrives.

No idea where the energy has come from i havent been sleeping well at all, so uncomfortable, thirsty, needing to wee every few minutes.....

neeko still stalking gg but no news, might give kate a quick message to see if she has heard......

14 weeks!!!! congrats iggy

barbie1 · 20/01/2010 10:21

oh forgot to ask 4ever what she decided to do today?

Hello to everyone else x

mermaidspurse · 20/01/2010 10:22

gah! my whole body aches and I now know where my abs are. The only thing is I just want to eat s after going to the gym Body pain aside it has done wonders with my mental attitude, ha, that could read several ways!
moon look out those gym shoes, get that spandex out and though I am sure you have finely honed abs already I am sure it would make you feel a little bit smiley (after a few biscuits to recover)

neeko hope all your strappy things are working.

ig wow at 14 weeks

4ever thinking of you today and hope you are as ok as possible. So sad about your Aunty
Also very much hope that your reults are back today too.x

vjayswattypants ah come on aren't you meant to have a very tidy house and books unopened for a week at least well done though how you find the time with your boys fills me with admiration.

right got to do some work - oh has gracie popped yet?

mermaidspurse · 20/01/2010 10:23

barbie you are in nesting frenzy It must be lovely to feel all settled.

monkeybumsmum · 20/01/2010 10:27

Haven't read back through any posts, but just coming on quickly to say that I won't be around for a little while. My poor mum died yesterday, and I've come back to the UK with dh and ds to be with my dad and brother.
I just can't believe this is happening. It all seems too much to take in.

Hope you're all okay x

iggypiggy · 20/01/2010 10:36

monkey so sorry to hear that - thinking of you xx

mermaidspurse · 20/01/2010 10:38

monkey oh lovely lady so very sad to read your news. Thinking of you and your family.xx

barbie1 · 20/01/2010 10:51

big hugs monkey take all the time in the world, we are here for hugs and hairstrokes when you get back....

4everhopeful · 20/01/2010 11:18

So sorry & deepest sympathies to u & all the family poor Monkey... Big hugs & prayers, its so sad.. x x x x x

cupcakefairy · 20/01/2010 11:28

Oh gosh monkey I'm so sorry, can't imagine what you're going through. Massive hugs to you and your family xxx

Moon glad you are still lurking there.. 6 months does seem to be the danger zone, I was just coming up to it when I got my BFP and it's the pits Remember we are always here for anything you need xxx

Lion I read somewhere that sitting/lying on the moses basket mattress while you feed will warm it up for baby to go back in..if the mattress is removable that is!

MLS glad acupuncture is still going well...get those herbal teas down you girl!!

4ever well done for putting yourself first and resting up, you need to for your own peace of mind right now. Hope funeral went ok.

Iggy yay for 14 weeks won't be long before you're in big pants!

Sciatica a bit better for walking now but still horrendously painful at night and keeping me awake baby is so active this morning, keeps making me catch my breath with sudden movements but in a nice way

MummyLovesSadie · 20/01/2010 11:39

Oh Monkey so terribly sorry to hear your news. Have a huge hug from me.

Neeko · 20/01/2010 11:46

Monkey I'm also really sorry. What a sad and horrible thing for you. Remember we are all here for you. take care of yourself, lovely, and take comfort from the rest of your family right now.

Neeko · 20/01/2010 11:51

Mermaid Gold start for gym - eat as many s as you like! Strappy things are helping but very tight on bump!

Barbie Hope you have some news for us on GG soon. Not long til it's your turn. Enjoy the nesting, your house will be a tip for the first year few weeks afterwards but you won't care at all.

Big waves to the others. MUST do some work!

mermaidspurse · 20/01/2010 14:43

mls what was that you found re taking asprin before conception again? Seems Lesley Regan reckons its not good for those who don't have the syndrone and that it can actually cause mc?

ps coke is yuk girl, embrace smoothies with frozen raspberries or elderflower cordial. I did try nettle beer at the weekend... utterly vile.

4ever have they finished their lunch break and gotten your results? hope your mum managed ok today thinking about you all and monkey lots too.x

cupcake have this insane vision of you squeezed into a moses basket with a dummy in your mouth

littlebellsmum · 20/01/2010 15:42

monkey So sorry to hear your news. Take care of your self and get lots of cuddles from your ds.

mermaid Tell me more about the elderberry cordial smoothies - how do you make them? I need something yummy to drink!

I'm currently stuck at work, waiting for the bus to go - there is snow on the ground and so everyone else has run away, they have closed the kids school which isn't pleasing me and they did it by text which I picked up two hours later. So by the time the nanny got to the kids, they were a bit upset as they thought they were being left.... Not happy. Ah well, bus goes in 15 minutes and then at least I can get out of here!!

Ah, feel much better for getting that off my chest! I should be back on later

cupcakefairy · 20/01/2010 16:32

LBM- flipping schools! Closing at the first sign of any sleet, ridiculous. Feel sorry for your poor dcs they can't've been the only ones though surely? Do other parents have their phones surgically attached to their hands?

mermaid LOL! I'm glad I added the bit about the mattress being removable!

Have just read that editor's pick thread about perineal massage... I had no idea that was how you do it

iggypiggy · 20/01/2010 17:04

4ever if you are around - i wondered if you could poss help someone on another thread I am on? She has just had her 6th MC and has NK cells (is that the same as you?) - with the last one she saw a heartbeat - but was gone by 10 weeks - she was on a prednisolone drugs trial. Anyway - I've searched our threads and I couldn't find anything explaining what you had? Sorry if you'd rather not tho.

iggypiggy · 20/01/2010 17:52

4ever I meant to add - I know today is a bad day for you - so the above is prob last thing you want to talk about. I hope you are ok xx

BlueMoon1981 · 20/01/2010 19:13

monkey i am soooo sorry to hear your sad news, i wish we could do something to help, thinking of you lots at this horrible time xxx

mermaid honed abs? i most certainly do not have any of those, never have and never will! who was it who said they had dense bones - thats me too!

still feeling a bit crap but think work has been getting me down too though. i've had enough and want to leave but am hanging on for maternity leave am i stupid to stay because of that alone? trying to throw myself into thinking about weddings and ebaying stuff round the house to make some extra cash. just learnt df will be working away for a week at the end of the month. he used to work away a lot but i am used to having him home now so am not impressed. still, its good pay and he'd be silly to turn it down.

sorry for the me post hope everyone else is ok

Joolsiam · 20/01/2010 20:05

Really sorry to hear your news Monkey - it sounds like a huge shock

Just quickly sending good wishes to everyone, and a sparkly gold star to Mermaid for getting to the gym I'm away in Bridgend teaching and the hotel's internet connection is pretty flaky, so I've had to go cold turkey and not even harvest my crops in Farmville !!

All OK here, apart from suddenly realising just how porky I've become. I'm still not 100% fit, so haven't been doing much in the gym. Need to book a GP appt for next week, so will mention how run down I seem to be.

CD10 here I think and I'm just starting to see some EWCM, so hopefully DP will be very pleased to see me after 3 nights away

Will lurk on phone and come back at the weekend with a proper internet connection to post to everyone. Thinking of you all x x x
