Emmsys Weebles: the one where we gather in the greenhouse for more tears, laughter and hand-holding

[cupcakefairy]

Come and gather... we have ice cream!

This thread is a very special one as it will contain one very long-awaited birth announcement and hopefully more sleep for our yummy mummies & lots of BFPs!

Get your pom poms out...

Morning Mls yep still here! Too excited to sleep! Iv used the canestan pessary about 4/5 times prescribed by gp & recommended by consultant so def ok! Found cream alone just aggravates more! Wont miss that symptom i can tell ya! .....Sabs much as it excites me to see myself top of the list & im sure cupcake would love to be in saggy pants i dont think lbm would wanna have to give birth again! Im too supersticious to touch the list tho! Cupcake your due date today sweetie! It can still happen!

Just thought Mls, tmi, but dont push the pessary too far up iykwim?!

Well done Blue!

Come on Cupcake its your day!

Needless to say DD's sleep in the car seat yesterday lasted about 2 minutes!

was that prophetic sabs? I wouldn't say no to a nice 7lb little girl, I'm dreading a 10lb-er!

baking I love the name Jocelyn too, I believe this is actually the name of LBM's dd1 though so probably off the table!!

Vjay Jocasta is great, ooh what about Jacinta?

moon sounds lush about the planned weekends away! Which show will you see? (I love shows)

Well today is the day and still NOTHING going on girls...hmph was hoping things would get started last night so baby could be born promptly on due date but nope... tomorrow is my 'official' hospital due date though (today is what I calculated it as) so could still count! Lol mermaid at needing everyone done and dusted hope it does happen before 25th!

Feeling really tired and weirdly breathless this morning though

Come on babycupcake and baby4ever I am cheering you on with my poms poms

buddha did you ask me ages ago about the portion size of AK's food?, it came to me this morning that I didn't answer you, I'm sorry. Don't know what made me think of it, anyways, yes I do find the portions small, so always double up a recipe, so for example, if it was a recipe for 4 portions, by doubling up I'll get about 6, does that make sense?

mls I used the pessary and cream too when pg.

blue I knew you'd correct the list , and sabs I did lol when I saw you'd given cupcake a girl

Ajay had his legs out today, I put him in his shorts, and smeared sun cream ALL OVER him, so he looked very greasy, but at least he was safe

Hello all, just a quick one from me to say I haven't forgotten you all I have been way too busy and have been on quickly for the odd lurk, but have no hope of catching up tonight

Congratulations to LBM though, what fantastic news! Can I vote for Mermaid's 'Jaffeta'?!

Will try and get back over the next few days to catch up properly, though expect to see a few more announcements by then!

News from me is that we have decided to start ttc , so will need the pom poms at the ready next week

Sorry, have to go now, on way out, but' I will be back' (said in a strange Arnold schwarzenegger voice)

Yay QA , I've got my pom poms ready

Ive been up since 4am again! Think I maybe excited! Have done a load of washing, cleaned the kitchen, washed down the sofas, dusted the front room, and had a general sort out... Do ya reckon I might be nesting?!? Gonna try & sleep for another couple of hours then strip the bed, DH finishing at 2pm, will finish all housework, do the last food shop, get dinner at Nando's (last date!) then pop into mums! I couldnt be more ready!!!!!!

Really wanna attempt a last mamoth post with personals if poss later, and also post a last HUGE bump pic!!!! Wonder how Cupcakes doing today?!?! C'mon babycupcake!!! Heard from LBM already this morning who is in baby moon bliss! Still no name though!

Happy Thursdays everyone!!! x x x x x

4ever sauntering at the finish line. So exciting.

cupcake official edd today come on babycake.

jordan ha!

Morning lovelies
No progress here I'm afraid! Heard this morning that dh's cousin had her baby last night too- 3 weeks early & stole our date, hmph! Think I'm destined to be pregnant forever...

4ever eek I love the thought of you just flitting around getting everything ready for your girl soooo exciting. Enjoy your last date!

qa fab news about making a decision on ttc I'll hopefully be waving my pompoms with one hand while holding a little squirmy thing next week

Morning, just

COME ON babycupcake and baby4ever, and yes 4ever you are nesting , tis so exciting

Hello mermaid

Forgot to say the other day, Ajay tried to eat the cat, I was pulling fur out of his mouth for ages

congrats to lbm on baby belle cant wait to know name xxxx

hi to everyone

im lurking with a bad cold so will be staying away from all the new babies...ill post again when i get the all clear

good luck girlies!

Vjay - lol at Ajay eating the cat

4ever - I am almost bursting with excitement for you!!!!!!

cupcake - and you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SIL induced at lunchtime, no word as yet so doubt baby shot out after waters broke...

LOL vjay I cracked up at poor Ajay with a mouthful of fur bet the cat was ore surprised than he was.

It is very quiet in here of late

Oh, and no still nothing here. I bought a pineapple today even though I know you need to eat like, 70 to make a difference. Really want it to happen this weekend so I can join 4ever!

Hello ladies, yes it's been very quiet here. Where has everybody gone?

C'mon LMB no name for two days??? You are as bad as Neeko!

Cupcake & 4ever, go go go ladies go! Keep bouncing, eating pineapple & for Gawds sake start having sex!

QA my heart did a little leap when I read that you are going to ttc again.

Nothing interesting has happened here except for my dd puking all down herself & me at bedtime.

Yay congrats LBM-so happy for you all.

Hello lovelies, still thinking of you all. Keep meaning to post but only get online bout once a week and by the time have caught up have no time to post.

E is 6 months next Tue . where has the time gone? Weaning going well, he eats everything i try him with. He has two bottom teeth and looks so cute when he grins.

Love to you all, i,ll be back soon X

Morning! Just passing through and wondering if anyone's gone into labour yet........

QA my pom poms are at the ready!

Barbie I hope you feel better soon.

Well my SIL has a new baby girl . Melissa Anne born at 3am this morning weighing a good hearty 8lb 10oz. Although she was booked in for an induction at 12.30pm yesterday, she wasn't actually induced until 2am this morning (take note 4ever as there weren't any available beds in labour ward. So baby only took 1.5 hours to appear - that a girl! They broke her waters and hooked her up to drip which obviously did the trick . I've seen a photo and she is gorgeous with lots of dark hair like her Dad whereas her big sister was completely bald!

My in-laws are beside themselves, they have the complete set, 2 grandsons and 2 granddaughters

Right 4ever and cupcake - no pressure now .

Don't know about you guys but it is gorgeous up here today. I so should have fake tanned my legs last night - hmmph.

Annie - hiya! Great to hear E is loving his food! Only 4 weeks til I can start with Ben and he is already eyeing up everything I eat.

MLS - hope your DD is better. Oh and I have two BW books. The original one and IMO the better 'troubleshooting' one. Top two books listed here

I've had a poorly Ben on my hands but he is much better today (he had a temp and gastro viral infection - took him to docs yesterday)). Not much sleep for either of us on Wed.night but he slept from 7pm to 1.30AM last night and my boobs were agony and had completely soaked through my breast pads and t-shirt - ouch! Thankfully he took a good feed at 1am then again at 3.30am so no exploding Blue for DH to clean up .

Morning no sign of baby here...DH and I have had a few stern words with it to come this weekend so we'll see if it will begin its life well behaved!!

MLS believe me, we are trying the whole sex thing!! Hasn't worked yet but will keep trying

Hi annie how cute about E's toothy little grin

blue fab news about your SIL would she let you go update the May thread or is that slightly stepping on toes?? I have just bought the 'top tips from the baby whisperer' mini book, think it's a condensed version of the original but perfect for us really as we are a bit unsure whether we want to do the whole 'routine' thing so good to just have a few tips to dip into now and then.

A friend who was due same day as me posted on facebook at 2am that she was having contractions

hi all. have a wriggly girl in arms so struggling to even do capitals

Congrats to LBM can't wait to hear name and see pics.

Blue congrats on your new rl niece. great name same as DD1. Well done to Ben on sleep too.

sorry typing is impossible back later x

Neeko - I thought of you when DH told me her name . We're all connected by the thinnest of threads eh?

cupcake - think I'll wait and let my SIL update the thread... Mum's the word for now!

come on babies!!!!!

sneeze, cough, splutter.... arrrgggghhhh!

Come on babycupcake and baby4ever, I've had to write this 3 days in a row now, will have to do it a 4th?

blue congrats to your SIL, lovely name too. Is she a mumsnetter too? Is she the one you've mentioned in the past but doesn't know that you're on here?

mls poor dd, hope she is feeling better.

Waves to neeko and wriggly babyneeko

I've got my inlaws coming up today, 7 of them!!!! DH's parents, his sister and her tribe. They are staying at the nearby caraven site, as we have NO ROOM Looking forward to seeing them, they are up for a week, but I will still be on here .
It's absolutly lovely up here too so have slathered sun cream on Ajay and will be out in the garden in a mo.
