Whoop whoop mls , me and Ajay are dancing around the room for you

Hiya curly good to see you

Congratulations MLS Am so happy for you! What fab news to start a Friday with

I have my fingers crossed for you Jools and all other small panters - yes, a hat-trick would be great...

Things going okay here. Had mums funeral on Wednesday which actually went really well. We had over 200 people come which was amazing, and we all managed to hold ourselves together enough to stand at the door of the church at the end and see everybody who came as they went out. It was really lovely and I am SO glad we were strong enough to do it.
We seem to be quite lost now though, with no preparations to get on with Can't imagine the rest of my life without her...
I am also knicker-checking like crazy, as I bet you are now too MLS. Is impossible to stay calm isn't it! Did a Clearblue digital with conception indicator on Monday, and it put me bang on where I should be, which I hope is really good and am trying to be reassured by it... Got first doctors appointment for next Wednesday and am already getting a bit stressed! Will be just 6 weeks so they won't be able to see much I don't think, will they?

I want to say a huge thank you to all of you for your lovely messages last week. I've just had a chance to read through them, and you are just all so lovely

MLS I was so very sorry to hear about your sister, it must've been an awful shock. You obviously know exactly how I'm feeling right now, and I'm so glad that all went well with your DD - it must be comforting to think that there's that link with your sister through her. You're right about it giving hope in a time of sadness and grief - I told my brother and my dad, they both cried, and just said how wonderful it was. Dad even had a smile on his face.

4ever So sorry that you've been going through such a worry. I really hope that everything works out okay. We had a scare when I was expecting ds, and was told that there was something wrong with his brain. It was the most awful time as you just feel so powerless. Thank goodness they were wrong, but we didn't find that out for three weeks - it was a horrible time Sending you a huge hug and I have my fingers crossed for you that all will be well x

Jools You are lovely and oh so right about the circle of life. I am just praying that this little bean will make it, as I feel like mum is behind it really. She even said the last time I saw her that it will be my turn soon. I really hope that you are right wrt to ovulation - would be lovely to see you getting a much deserved bfp too

Moon Was so sad to read that you've been feeling so down. Your lost lo's will always be with you, no matter what's going on. Your post made me just want to hug you tight x

Cupcake Poor you being in so much pain, I really hope things get better when you see the physio. Have you an appt booked?

Barbie V pleased t hear all is going well with babybarbie That's fab that your family should be there when he/she arrives!

LBM Lucky you going to Paris! Did you have a nice time? Hmmmmm I love millefeuille too

Curly Sorry to hear you've been going through such a tough time. I really hope everything's okay and that curlygirl arrives safe and sound. Thanks for the hug, am squeezing you tightly back x

A big hello to everyone else, hope you're all okay!

, , MLS - wonderful news, I'll also do the slightly wobbly sticky bean dance ( it'll warm me up as the heating is bust again!).

Barbie good news - what are you wobbling about now? Please share as we love to "help"!!

monkey lovely to hear from you. Glad the funeral went as well as these things can. So pleasee that your bfp made your dad smile - I'm sure your ds manage that occasionally too? you and mls can obsess away together!! And a bit as you can at least spell millefeuille, whilst I can just eat them!!

4ever pleased you are feeling a bit less stressed. Your consultant sounds like a good one - straight talking can be good in the right place!

Got to go, littlebells life is too busy - Paris was ( could do with an ungrateful emotion!) a bit of a drag, except for the dessert tray - train back got really delayed and so, not much sleep and am v tired. Esp, when babybelle decides to wriggle as soon as I get to bed! But I am really not complaining!!

LBM I only know how to spell it as I eat so many of them

MLS woohooo!!!!!!!!! SO pleased for you Yay!

Oh mls congratulations!! I am sooo happy for you YAY! I dont know why, but when I was reading through the posts I had a feeling that you would be next to get a BFP

Nice to hear from you monkey I dont think I congratulated you on your BFP. Good to hear the funeral went well and reading about your family's reaction when you told them about the BFP brought tears to my eyes.

curly hearing about the scare had us all worried so cant imagine what it must have felt like for you. Can't believe you only have a week to go

I've heard from gracie again who was intending to sort her internet out yesterday but sadly her grandma had a stroke and one of her cousin's waters broke and she is 32 weeks pregnant. Also her DH's mobile broke! But on the plus side, her DH is working only 2 miles away from home for a year as of this weekend

Sorry the post isnt longer and apologies for lack of more personal posts, I have so much to comment on from reading the thread from the past couple of weeks, to bra measuring, to piles, to itchy belly and also an update on DH's work situation but must pay Missy Saara attention

P.S Is anyone else watching Tony Blair and the Iraq Inquiry?? Or am I the only one lol

nope didnt pee myself but came very close!

monkey lovely to hear back from you, glad you told your dad and it bought a small to his face, bought a smile to mine too...Also re doctors next week, dont be disappointed if you dont see much (if you have a scan) they didnt see anything on my scan and had to go back during the 8th week)

mls are you still dancing

lbm my wobbles have no place on the thread today, its Mls day they are only pre labour jitters and what if's..i think its the stuff most ladies worry about in the last few weeks. I just think im feeling a little lost and lonely being so far from home and not being able to share them....tomorrow is another day so if im still not quite upright by then i will share and ask advice...

sabs full fat pepsi is soooooo much better than diet!

Just back from the dog show, fred made lots of new friends

MLS YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH so pleased for you. I too felt your sister's anniversary had to bring the babydust charm so glad it snuck in just before your edd too. Have you left lots of messages on the consultant's answer machine yet?

Curly sooooo so lovely to see you back and to curlygirl greeting us next week! You must be so excited (and apprehensive too I expect!) so sorry about the scare, sounds horrible but well done for pulling through. Doc on Monday said he thought it did sound like spd but I'm in denial cos desperate for it not to get worse! Yep I am keeping my knees together, doing 'back your bum into the car' move rather than one leg in first but yeh it is so painful turning over at night and walking though been a bit better last couple of days. Just so sick of not being able to walk to town and dh doing everything for me. Went to buy some mat clothes today and it took me AGES to change my trousers then they didn't even fit, hmph. Got so tired too that I gave up then...HOW do people do this when they have older children too

Neeko you're the total opposite to us then with the names, we found it easy peasy to come up with girl names...sure we'll have a boy for that reason!

Hi moon sorry about tew but glad cycle is back to normal and no more mind-games.

Lol, love all the talk of what names we pretended to be called etc it's so true that our dcs will prob hate their names whatever we pick!

Oh and monkey good to see you back lovely, made me quite emotional to read about your dad's reaction too; really hope it will help you all to get through this horrible time. Massive hugs x

oh my goodness

now I was a bit confused and had to go back quiet a few pages.....

monkey I think it was the water bottles on the thighs myself Its been a loooong wait for you lovely and how bitter sweet that it has coincided with your mum. Thinking of you heaps and so pleased.xx oh ps do you think its cos you had that opp a wee while ago?

right ok back to todays page mls did wonder what that bfp was doing in my greenhouse this morning.
Very pleased for you, needles must have helped you be nice and relaxed. Just go really easy, no dashing around (ha)

barbie oh honey its hard to be hundreds of miles away. You must nearly have been there a year already. Where has that time gone?
I think the last few weeks are really the hardest. Your hormones batter you around like Mike Tyson.

curly lovvely to see you sedately wandering in. A week? I am relieved to hear that you are all ok. You sound like you have been through the mill.

sabs give that cheeky girl a big kiss. I hope dhs work is ok? And have you managed to tame your mil?

cupcake ouch and ouch.

jools are you still wandering barefoot barefoot - my favourite story when small, small trivia for a friday. I am keeping my everything crossed for you my lovely lady. Seeing as you are being so forgetful I think this is very promising.

moon thinking of you brave and lovely girl. Have you started compiling your wedding lists?xx

4ever hmmm I expect you are just about up and pottering around! Super irridesent sparkly star for getting through another week. I am so thrilled to my toes to hear of you buying a moses basket and bits and bobs

neeko have you really only got 3 weeks left? jeepers you must all have your feet in baby bio or something

lbm hope you are ok, sounding a little stuffed full of cakes

I am off out tonight woo hoo dancing round handbags etc. The boys seem overly excitied that they are having a boys night in, I dread to think....
I have been up to my eyes in paperwork for the dreaded 31st deadline. So going out tonight will be a fab relief.

love to blue mm and budha and all your squirmy little bundles. buddha I so hope you have sorted out Es tummy poor mite.

Also gracie hoping your friend is ok and your mum and your mobile and internet oh yes and george of course

Have a lovely weekend girls, no rushing about, cosy snuggles on sunday and big fry ups with the papers. and for vjay mini eggs

mls really, really fab news.
monkey ditto

Congratulations MLS so pleased to here your good news

bakingqueen I am running to catch you up, how are you? I forgot to ask just now.
Thinking of you, you know that - hope you are ok, no headaches and that work is not too hectic.xx

Not bad thanks mermaid been having a rough month lots of issues between me and dh one of which was time on internet for us both so to keep the peace been keeping away things getting a bit better between us now so fingers crossed hope to be back fully soon x
Love to you all xx

I have them crossed for you here. January is without doubt a shit month. Hopefully with the sun coming back shortly things will get sunny for you to bq
hi kate.x

• phew! you haven't used them all up on here today .

Fantastic news MLSjusthavetolookat dhandgetknockedup. So had a feeling for you this month with the acupuncnture and general positivity in spite of your awful 2009 and anniversary of your Dsister passing.. We will all be here every day willing this lo to be super super sticky and looking forward to seeing your Florida photos on FB in July with you waftnig about in your kaftan . Positive affirmation.

Monkey - lovely to hear form you and you sound so brave after saying goodbye to your Mum . she will be proecting this lo and hope her smile and warmth radiates down to you and protects you over the coming months.

Mermaid - enjoy your girls night out. You so deserve a little way hay time x

barbie - I hd unbelievable itchy tummy in last few weeks so don't worry. Glad ol Fred made some pawpals today

cupcake - I know a girl at playgroup who has a Jay, Jude and Joss! They are all utterly gorgeous and will breaking hearts come 2020! Isaac is a great name but I am biased . Still to come across another one up here and DS1 is nearly 4!

sabs can soo relate to not havng enough time to post and do individuals. I'm only on here as DH is cuddling Benjamin whilst stripping DS1 for bath (see men can multitask .

curly - oh honey you have had a worrying time but glad its all sorteditself out and curlygirl is making an appearance soon .

4ever - well done you for buying things for nursery. Know how terrifying that must have been to have it in the house but years fro now you'll look at the (by then soiled and torn) cuddly toy and remember the day you bought it. Glad your consultant was able to calm your fears a little. We won't let go of your hand until you're pushing come June.

Nce to see you Baking and Kate.

Better shoot as DH is looking a bit stressed Off to watch last nights Grey's and have my allocated two glasses of full bodied wine - ai its all sex n' drugs n rock and roll chez blue.

Oh and Benjamin was weighed on Tues and is a wopping 11lbs - 95 percentile - massive. He has my legs (chunky) so what do I expect!

Have a great weekend everyone and come on Andy for Sunday!!!

Hello bq it's a bummer you are having to stay away from mn for the time being - it is such a life-line for all of us. I hope you manage to sneak in a few minutes as often as possible.

Monkey glad to see you back too, brave lady. You are sounding a little more like your old self. I think the worst part is the funeral. It's something that fills you with such utter horror in the lead-up & then on the day you feel like you have to hold it together when all you want to do is throw yourself on the floor & scream "WHY?". Then after it's all over you have a feeling of emptiness & it is time to start properly grieving. As for knicker-checking I'd highly recommend asking your gp for progesterone pessaries. I found them such a sanity-saver in my last pregnancy, I think that even if there was a problem then you wouldn't bleed if you were using them (I've heard contradictory stories). But personally if there was a problem I'd much rather find out via a scan rather than blood in my pants. I'm going to do my CB digi tomorrow - just for some extra affirmation that I am pregnant!

Big waves to everyone else, sorry for the short post but my poorly-sickness of yesterday made an unwelcome return today. Aching all over, wrapped up in a duvet on the sofa waiting for dh to make dinner but between you & me I'm sure I just heard him ordering a pizza as the dish he had planned to cook is not turning out as he'd hoped!

Evening, still here for mls barbie come share your wobbles when you're ready

blue I will be cheering on Andy on Sunday too. Ben is doing very well, 95th percentile , you must have some fabulous gold top in there

mermaid hello how are you doing, hope you are enjoying a girly night out as I type, or at least getting ready for it. I can't remember what a girly night is, this is as close as I get to one, very sad I know

bq sorry to hear you having a tough time, but nice to see you on here.

jools have you got your bag yet, it did make me chuckle the reason why you forgot it

Hi to mrskate too, and please say hi to gracie for me

monkey I had a little tear in my eye too the thought of your dad smiling at your fab news. Well done for being so brave, I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling. Thinking of you xxx

Hello to lbm neeko cupcake, are you bouncing, sounds like you love that ball as much as I did , 4ever moon sabs lion and mm, did I miss anyone? Have lovely weekends y'all
Will try and get on tomorrow to sort out barbies wobbles
