mrskate good to see you

blue thanks, I don't feel like a good mum sometimes as things can get on top of me, but thanks

barbie so sorry you lost all of those precious pics, I never back up anything, I don't even know how, but after reading your post am going to look into it.

Had my coil check today, it's still there but has moved, so I'm going to have scan in a couple of weeks to check, that's going to be weird

GracieGirl · 21/04/2010 12:46

I have to go out, can someone text me MLS and Mermaids news. ta!

loueytbg · 21/04/2010 12:53

Just popping on to see if there is any news from mermaid.

Tis done - have just eaten and hopefully they will let me go home in a couple of hours. Thank you all for your hugs.

VJay · 21/04/2010 13:28

hiya louey glad it's all done for you, fingers crossed you will be home soon, make sure you put your feet up and let dh pamper you, you deserve it

OP posts:
mermaidspurse · 21/04/2010 15:48

I'll try and keep this brief cos I feel utterly drained and am going to curl up on sofa in a mo.
No fetal pole. sac and yolk there but nothing looking remotely like it should for the dates. They did the optimistic bit about ovulating late but I think it's a repeat performance. I have an appointment for the 5th and can go back anytime before that if I am mad or begin to bleed.

mls hope you are ok.x

louey well done for getting through that, hope you get home soon.

Thanks masses for your texts they kept me going you are all stars.

Joolsiam · 21/04/2010 15:57

Oh Mermaid - I really thought that this would be your time. Life is so cruel sometimes ...

Sending you lots of sunshine, chocolate and cushions for your comfy chair in the greenhouse, together with a case of New Zealand's finest rose wine. x x x x x

VJay · 21/04/2010 15:59

mermaid do you think you may have ovulated late? How many weeks is the scan putting you at? I just want this to work out for you so much.

OP posts:
monkeybumsmum · 21/04/2010 16:09

Oh Mermaid I so hope that you have ovulated late, but I suspect you're pretty sure of your dates? I too so desperately want this to work out for you. Sending you a big tight squeeze xxx

VJay · 21/04/2010 16:13

mermaid remember your last af was late in March, you asked us all to do an af dance for you, so maybe the same happened last month too, another late ovulation? I do sound a bit too knowledgable on your cycle here

OP posts:
GracieGirl · 21/04/2010 18:09

I do hope you ovulated late Mermaid I really want this to work out for you. Its going to be a long 2 weeks till that next scan.Sending huge hugs.

Louey its good to hear you're recovering and will soon be off to Cornwall.

Any news from MLS?

cupcakefairy · 21/04/2010 18:24

mermaid you must have felt like you were stuck in a recurring nightmare being told that stuff again and having to wait. I'm not giving up hope for you though. Hope you're still curled on that sofa.

Well done louey for getting through today.

Off out to dinner with dh after Neeko's hassling that we need date nights before baby

cupcakefairy · 21/04/2010 18:33

Oh and Vjay to back up your files you just need an external hard drive. We have this one it just plugs into a USB.
IT types will tell you you also need a third offsite backup incase your house burns down! But we haven't got that!
I'm mega paranoid about losing photos and other precious stuff so save everything externally... you can just put stuff on several memory sticks though, would give a bit more peace of mind!

Ps- sorry about not liking Glee

VJay · 21/04/2010 18:46

Thanks for that cupcake.

Well just taken DS1 to taekwando, he got too upset and at one point sat under the chair!! So after half an hour of trying to get him to join in I gave up and brought him home. I've been a bit hard on him and now I feel a bit shit, so will give him a big hug once we've both calmed down. On a brighter note, Ajay loved watching it all and just sat in his buggy quite content to watch.

I need a hug.

OP posts:
cupcakefairy · 21/04/2010 18:56

Awww Vjay bless you massive hugs from here. Sure it will just take a bit of perseverance. You are lovely, don't be too hard on yourself xxx

VJay · 21/04/2010 18:59

Thanks cupcake. Ds1 has just said he wants to learn it at home, and has just done some of the moves in the kitchen, and I thought he hadn't been watching them.

mermaid its not fair i had high hopes for you too, but sorry i am not giving up yet, its still really early and i am keeping fingers, toes, legs and arms and anything-else-that-will-cross crossed for you.

vjay heres a big squeezy hug for you, you do sound like superwoman sometimes, i think you have remember you are only human and you are allowed to feel a bit crap every now and then, and i know you are a fantastic mummy

louey glad the physical side is over, its crap you had to go through it all again, i hope your break away will help to start the healing process

hi jools i spotted you

BlueMoon1981 · 21/04/2010 19:41

i stumbled across this on t'internet, wondered if any of you yummy mummies would be interested? never done a link before so bear with me

here

can someone let me know if it works

loueytbg · 21/04/2010 20:01

Crappity crap mermaid, was really hoping it was going to be your time. Lets hope it was late ovulation, a few days can make a massive difference to what you seen on the scan at this stage. Lots of hand-holding for you for the next 2 weeks.

Vjay hugs to you. I'm sorry the taekwondo was so stressful for you all. Will DS1 go back and try again? It must be hard for him to try something new like that.

gracie I thought mls scan was next Wednesday, but I may have read it wrong?

mls at DD. Am dreading those kind of conversations, DS2 has a voice like a foghorn....

moon link works, clever girl. But mine are now 3 so can't take part. Boo. I'm sure someone else will find it useful though.

cupcake enjoy your dinner out. So glad the scan was reassuring.

4ever how are you feeling today? You are very near the end of the journey, you just might meet your baby earlier than you had thought. Trust me, having had 2 babies which were very little and needed special care, being a little on the large side is much the best thing and TBH the scans aren't great predictors in end. It will all be fine. Only a few weeks to go.

barbie so sorry you lost some pics. Its rubbish isn't it and you can't remember to do everything when you have a small baby to look after.

blue my isaac doesn't have the history behind his name that yours does - it was about the only name we could agree on.

Waves to jools, monkey, mrskate and anyone else I've probably missed

Thank you all for your hugs. Am at home and ok, feel a bit shaky but otherwise ok. They say they got it all out this time. I'm looking forward to our holiday although I don't think it will be very relaxing. DTs will be sleeping in the same bedroom as us and can practically reach our bed from their cots. I'm anticipating early wake-ups for us all. Its my birthday on Tuesday though and we are going out for dinner and ILs are babysitting. Am looking forward to that.

VJay · 21/04/2010 20:02

Thanks moon and yes your link worked and I have signed up

VJay · 21/04/2010 20:04

mermaid - I logged on praying that when the page came up there wouldn't be any faces....

WE can only hope and pray your dates are wrong and keep you busy waiting for the 5th. Pass me a glass of that Rose would you (thanks Jools). Vjay - you tried that's all you can hope for and your DS1 must have liked it a little bit if he was doing it at home. Hope you have had your cuddle. FWIW we had mini meltdown on Sat as DS1 footie class started back and he didn't want to go, faining a sore knee/finger and it was just nerves as it had been off for Easter hols. He can be very unsure of things to begin with too.

Moon thanks for link - interesting reading - I'm sure Sabs will be interested she likes a wee bargain back and forward .

MLS - really hope everything OK today.

Cupcake - great to hear you had a good scan and your DH comment was just lovely

Louey - hope you're resting and finding closure at last. Enjoy cornwall, have some fudge on me

VJay · 21/04/2010 20:22

Awww blue your poor ds1, did get back into it in the end? I have had a big cuddle with ds1, and have said if he wants to try again in the future he can, but he doesn't have to.

I'm supposed to be stuyding at the mo, but have just been reading the scary stories in the 'discussion of the day', and am now all scared!

OP posts:
bluesatinsash · 21/04/2010 20:30

He did. DH takes him, its their big 'Daddy/son' bonding session and they come home via bakers with rolls and cakes for our Sat brunch. DH says he can be a bit intimidated by the bigger (aged 4 rather than 3) boys so think he was jus nervous but it breaks your heart seeing them like that, just wanted to put him in a babygrow and cuddle him .

Glad you and your DS1 have hugged

Now, down to studying missy!
