Emmsy's weebles - enjoying comfort, support and mini eggs, onwards and upwards!

[VJay]

A new home ladies! Tis the season for mini eggs , time for baby neeko to arrive, and more BFP's, oh and mls joining the bigpant bench

monkey that bee story just made me giggle - but ouch to the wasp - surely is too early for wasps?!

That's what I thought too Iggy Was sat out yesterday thinking how lovely it was to see all the bee's and feeling glad there were no wasps. Hate the buggers!

PMSL at your bee sting story monkey

moon

barbie PMSL at your boobie story too

Right I'm back to studying, and for all you Glee lovers, it's on E4 tonight

I am so going mad. My boobs are even madder and even producing stuff - sorry never put tmi before.
I am soooooooo hungry but mostly want to eat rich tea biscuits and red pepper houmous and very thirsty and dizzy. Oh and I had a rather risque dream about my 60 year old estate agent euch tmi again sorry!

Still incredibly strong really dark line on cheapy sainsburys test - know that could be a red herring..

All this tells me that maybe all is not lost and I just can't even bear to begin to think that.

I remember both gracie and barbie had simular beginings and great outcomes and I keep finding simular good news stories all over mn so half of me clings to these and the other half of me, the one that's lost 5 beans can't help feeling that history has already repeated itself.

blatantly a me post sorry I am oing back to my deck chair.

moon you know I have everything crossed.x

aaaah mermaid I can feel your brain going round in circles lovely. You write me posts all you want! Whatever helps. It does sound positive but I know you don't want to dare think it
Loving the risque dream though!!

barbie and monkey lol at both your stories!!

Hi curly glad your girl is getting a bit more sleep, keep at it!

MLS I'm more and more convinced of the boy-ness of this bump too how exciting you and Neeko meeting! You'll have great fun.

iggy yay to buying things!! Soon you will be overrun with lists of more things to get I have finally zipped up the hospital bag and will not be adding more!!

monkey great wasp story with dh i hate wasps ever since i got one stuck up my coat sleeve in Germany on a school exchange trip and it stung me all the way up my arm, they are evil not to mention stupid, i hate the way they kind of flaunt around with their arses hanging low, find their way in the window and blatantly cant see the way out??

curly im glad you are still here you always sound so happy in your posts, seems being a yummy mummy agrees with you

barbie i knew you'd have a story, thanks for not letting me down

to everyone saying cd 29 well i am not sure this month, usually i know straight away that af is coming but skin is unusually clear and had a lot of cramps, but no other signs. apart from... i had a weird dream about snails sliming all over me and i woke up clawing at my skin to get them off, i think its from eating so much cheese, i dont even like cheese

forgot to say mermaid you write as many me posts as you need thats what this place is for xx

Mermaid massive hugs poor soul being spun round on that rollercoaster! Sounds hopeful though hon.. I am crossing everything for you my darling, I so pray this is your time..

Moon

Sorry in advance girls for another 'me' post! We had our ante natal class today on inductions and breast feeding.. I was awake from 2.30am til 5am and suffering yet again with really painful cramps (hard to walk etc.. ) at the break in class the midwife who Ive come to know well, noticed my pained s l o w walk to the loo and I told her was concerned, so she made us go to the delivery suite after the class to get checked out.. The midwife checked us over & made us wait for the doc who happened to be the Director/professor of fetal meds (who diagnosed the 3rd babys massive nuchal fold & broke the bad news 2 wks later & referred us to our recurrent mc consultant) he is a lovely guy and was really sweet to us.. After yet another scan, doppler and palpating & exam, he reckons its just a combo of the SPD, large baby & overdoing things and says I must rest, not complete bedrest, but just take things much easier, and he is going to suggest to our consultant that babys delivered at 38/39wks, its up to consultant whether that be induction or c sect... A pretty scary afternoon.... again! Im so exhausted with the constant round of hospital visits, back tomorrow to see diabetic midwife, then see consultant on thurs and midwife after to do birth plan! Cant believe we are going to have our baby within 4weeks! Just under 6 seemed close enough! I am very much I would just like to curl up in bed for week....

4ever once bubba arrives there will be no resting , so I would just put your feet up, do as much shopping etc online as you can, and just go out to your appointments. You are so nearly there, and SPD is a bitch, so rest and relax my lovely weeble

mermaid what a roller coaster of emotions you must be going through right now, but barbies post filled me with such hope when I read it, and your symptoms made me feel even more positive for you, like 4ever says it does sound very very hopeful

moon

Where have pfj louey and qa gone, thinking of you all, hope you are ok.

blue hope you had a fab day yesterday

jools hope you are enjoting your holiday

newsflash AJay is crawling!!!! His first mission was to crawl to the cat, he reached out with his chubby hand, and I whipped him away before he got swiped. Eyes in my bottom time methinks

Evening ladies, so much to catch up on so here goes,

Vjay - get the camera out! Well done Ajay but yes indeed eyes in back of head with some seeing round corners thrown in too. B rolled over onto his tummy today and pushed himself up and then looked me as if to say 'ta da' .

4ever - rest, rest, rest. SPD is so debilitating but not long now, so very nearly there... As Vjay says, rest, go to your appointments, rest and pop into your DD nursery every day to savour the calm before all hell breaks loose

mermaid - your head must be mince. We are all holding our breath, daring to hope but daring not to too. I so remember being there this time last year, it just tests your limits, sanity, belief in everything. We are here and you post every minute if you need to x

curly - lovely to hear from you and glad curlygirl is settling down. I'm a huge 'Baby Whisperer' fan - not as strict as Gina Arena and written with alot of warmth and humour (the author sadly died a few years ago). I did alot of her recommendations i.e. shoosh pat to settle baby and not shoogling them. Recognising their tired cues and following the EASY routines (Eat, Activity, Sleep and time for You). Neeko here's the link to the book here

Moon

barbie - glad you survived D's first jags. Does she not have them again at 12 and 16 weeks though?... I did exactly the same as you in maxi dress last year on my birthday . Out for dinner, 10-weeks pg and stepped up stair in restaurant stood on hem and exposed right (.) Just scooped it back in and carried on muttering "nothing to see here, keep moving along". Spent rest of evening walking around like a bride holding up the front of my dress..

cupcake - soo... have you decided yet on boys names?

monkey - and at your bee story. So glad you are getting comfort in your utterly delicious DS. Keep hugging him tight x

Iggy happy shopping .

Sabs- think anything from 6 months to a year for first two teeth is considered the norm. DS1 was 6-months - I think anyway..

Neeko and MLS - how exciting a real life Emmsy's meet up . MLS had to at you being all giggly and nervous. I met MM too last year couple of months after Barbie and we had a lovely lunch and walk round Glasgow. Unbeknown to us we both fell pg before the month was out. I miss her on here . Enjoy Scotland MLS and showing your bump off to your relatives just like you said you would

Thanks for all you warm wishes. Ben's Christening was magic, just perfect. Both boys were angels the whole day and it was so lovely to meet up with friends and family again and have them all in the one room for once (we went to a bowling club after church for after-show party ). Have posted one of B in his robes and I think he is quite different to DS1 if you scroll down and compare... B is going to be much fairer headed I think. DH was white blonde as a toddler before going dark and now of course grey .

Right off to open the malteser bag and watch Lost (taping Glee for Friday night) x

blue glad the day went well and both ds's were well behaved. i love your photos, you have such beautiful looking boys (are boys allowed to be beautiful you know what i mean!)

Hello again lovelies. Dh is on the phone & I'm bored so have put Glee on...still about it.

I made banana and walnut muffins earlier, yummy.

Lol, moon I cracked up at your description of wasps

blue we have decided boy will definitely be Jude or Jesse but keep swinging between them. Hoping we'll know when we see him!Girls we're having more trouble with, hmph.
Love the pic of Ben, gorgeous

Cupcake - love your boys names. Shame my DH didn;t like either of them or I'd have used them for my DS

4ever So , you might get your wish for the 25/5/10, if babba is coming early?

Really no time to post more tonight - just 3 more days at work, very tired and to top it all, I have low iron levels that are too low for the lovely birthing centre I want to go to, so I'm on mission "raise my iron levels" and in addition to tablets and spatone, I'm also cooking meals with lots of lovely lentils and spinach - what a lucky DH!

Hi all

Tried to get back on earlier, even posted on different thread but then the phone rang and the time was lost.I have been very busy, but have managed to lurk from time to time this week to check how you are all doing.

However, so much has happened in the last week and a bit, I have no hope of catching up with everything so will do a quick catch up now and start afresh tomorrow If I have missed you this time, I am sooo sorry and will be back to pen and paper from now on

monkey you are doing so well, but I think you need to give yourself permission not to always have a stiff upper lip. Sometimes you are allowed to just wallow Your posts are amazing, given everything you are going through.

MLS Glad things seem to be more positive, hope you and neeko enjoy your meet up!

Blue your boys are gorgeous and the Christening sounds like a lovely day for you all

vjay Oh they look so cute when they start crawling. Definitely get that video out and film it. I love watching those first attempts at crawling by my DS.

moon dare I ask how long a usual cycle is? or should I stick to grin I am going to start looking for flowers now, will get some links sorted for you this week.

4ever You should have shares in hospital car parks. You probably feel like you should just move in there! It's not easy, but try and see each visit as an extra way of keeping your LO safe and 1 step closer to seeing your baby.

jools hope you are enjoying your break and the time away is giving your head a bit of space iyswim

mermaid I think blue described it well by saying your head must be like mince. I don't know what to say tbh because I know your mind must alternate between the 2 possibilities by the minute. Am keeping everything crossed for you.

louey been thinking of you and hope you had a lovely birthday and hoping that even if emotionally things are not good that the physical side has settled down at the least. dealing with both aspects is not good.

barbie loved the dress story, that is the kind of thing i have nightmares about, that and turning up to work in my PJ's

sabs my nephews teeth were very late coming through, think his 1st one was at 1 year old.

curly I also think the baby whisperer has some good tips

neeko sorry about your Gran, your description of her was lovely and I can see why you would have wanted her to have met H.

pfj I hope you took the advice on here and ignored that woman. Nasty, nasty, nasty. Hope things are going ok with you. Dare I ask about the TTC? May is literally next week. Is your cycle back to normal, how are you feeling, Have your stitches healed now? Lots of questions... Hugs to you.

All you big panters seem to be mainly spending money at the moment, this is when you begin to realise all those reports are correct about how much it costs to have a baby

I am mainly still trying to think about whether to ttc. I finally started my 1st cycle after the MC last week, but I am going to wait another cycle before ttc, if I do decide to Will try and be back on more this week and hopefully keep up a little easier.

qa nice to have you back you seem to have your feet on the ground re. ttc and only you will know when you are ready to try again

my cycle usually is about 30 days but has been known to be 33 and was once nearly 50 last year

so definitely for at least a week me thinks

Thank you girls for your pearls of wisdom and support as always.. I am weebling quite alot and getting a bit anxious about it all, will know more when I speak to my consultant on thursday re whether induction or section..

Been awake sine 5am again & gonna phone diabetic midwife to see if can do it over the phone or see her on thurs when we see consultant Mr Manyonda, I have just discovered he specialises in GD as well..

Reason being, I just googled him, as well as the Director of fetal meds Basky, who we saw again yesterday & hadnt seen since 3rd angel baby in '08, as he, like my consultant, knew our Portland consultant Mr Armstrong, who did our immunotherapy treatment, when I mentioned their names to each other, they were all like 'Ahh yes, know him well' figure must be such an old boys network so googled them all.. I have added links (MLS Basky was trained at Kings so prob knows your consultant too!): http://www.sgul.ac.uk/about-st-georges/divisions/faculty-of-medicine-and-biomedical-sciences/basic-m edical-sciences/staff/dr-basky-thilaganathan Basky Professor/Director of Fetal Meds http://www.drpaularmstrong.co.uk/ Dr Armstrong at the Portland Manyonda our NHS consultant

However Mermaid on looking at our regular consultant Mr Manyonda who has guided us through the recurrent MC clinics and tests, and subsequently through this pregnancy, I have just discovered he runs a dedicated fibroid clinic. He is NHS too so here is a link for you (main reason I have just come on here to waffle on about this, sleep deproved and anxious, can you tell? ) Please check it out hon, along with the other 2 even, really hope it helps? : Manyonda Fibroid treatment

Try those links again!

Basky Professor and Director of Fetal Meds

Dr Armstrong at the Portland

Manyonda our NHS consultant

For Mermaid specifically : Manyonda Fibroid treatment

If you follow Paul Armstrongs link on miscarriage it tells you about the immunotherapy treatment we had, he is the only consultant that practices it...

louey happy birthday

4ever that is ace info thank you very much.

catch you all later.
ps blue lovely, lovely photos.

4ever I went to bed realising I hadn't replied to you last night and been feeling guilty about it!
Cant believe you had yet more scans/investigations..but I did do a teeny tiny 'eep' at baby coming 1 or 2 weeks early.. we actually could all go on the same date Hope you're ok though.

LBM sorry about the low iron didn't know it could stop you going to a birthing centre my levels were down at 9.9 a few weeks back but up to 10.6 now so hoping I can get it up a bit more. Dh even bought liver last night- bleurgh! Hope your last few days go ok.

Hi qa glad you found us again and again, 'eep' to May being next week (which also scares me as that's my due month )

hi. just on quickly as HV due anytime to weigh Hannah.

Mermaid and Moon* I have everything crossed for you.

4ever your worries still not over. Hope you're ok.

LBM are you double dosing the spatone? I've been doing that for two weeks and feel tonnes better.

Blue beautiful pics.

Louey happy birthday.

QA welcome back and lol at posting on other thread.

Monkey Ouch to wasp but loved the poison story!

Vjay clever Ajay.

Love to all xx

due dates... could you all possibly fit yourselves in around my holiday please?
So, I am going away on the 25th and back on June 1st. So I would think that you could cluster yourselves around the middle of the month

Lovely lovely picture of B blue, he does look fairer than I in the picture.
Are you coming oop North anytime soon, I'm of neeko's and mls's meet up tomorrow, and would love our boys to meet up too

mermaid lol at you arranging births around your hols. How are you feeling today, sick with sore boobs I hope

Dh is off today and we've just had a lovely walk down by the sea, and lunch in the harbour, very nice and relaxing, Ajay was as good as gold .
Had my TMA mark today and got 67% which is low for me, but on reading through my tutors notes I can see where I slipped up, oh well, onwards and upwards

2 hours sleep last night....

An afternoon long battle with a grumpy, overtired little girl.

Daddy has now taken her for a second walk and to give me a break from the screaming. I think its because of the fever due to jabs, lack of sleep has finally caught us with us both her. Im not being a very good mummy today, trying hard not to lose my patience with her Please tell me everyone has bad days???

vjay i would be over the moon with a score of 67% while coping with 2 little ones, but like you said you know you normally do better, just dont beat yourself up over it.

I will be back to post tomorrow, much to tired now...just wanted to come on and wish louey a happy birthday and to see if moon has added any more 's....
