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...

No sign yet but regular 2min strong contractions since about 11ish last night, wasnt dilated at last internal about 2am, night midwife bit cold moved to single room with mattress on floor for dh, took 2 co dydramol & thats it so far! Managed to doze a bit, at 5/6ish thought contractions had stopped but hooked back to monitor & diff much nicer midwife reckons they are good & strong, prob too strong for another pessary so will do another internal then maybe break waters...! Think im doin well with no pain relief yet, do hurt but riding through it, maybe that hypno birthing cd helped! Dh snoozin next to me, lettin him recharge while he can!

Morning 4ever you are doing really well , feel like a cyber MW , breathe, breathe

Sounds like you're doing brilliantly 4ever Glad you have a nicer midwife now! Have been thinking about you each time I woke up in the night, so glad all is going well!
Love to both you and your lovely dh x

Morning monkey

x post, morning VJay

Morning ladies! Just lurking to see how 4ever is doing and to see if any news on cupcake- i had a feeling that i would come on here to see cupcake posting she had contractions-may be a premonition!

Oooh wouldn't that be great How are you doing cupcake? Hope you're enjoying another lie in with dh
How are you this morning Annie?

morning monkey-im fine my lovely, just couldnt sleep last night due to the heat, bl oody typical that Ellis has just started sleeping through the night, but i still wake up several times a night. Is it really warm where you are too?
Im sorry i wasnt around to give support when you needed it sweetie, but i was lurking when i could and the lovely ladies on here were fab as usual. My heart was breaking for you, for what you had to go through, but you are so brave and so lovely for always thinking of others on here even when you were going through your darkest of days. Sending big hugs your way X

morning lovelies

Ah Annie you are lovely for saying that, thank you Poor you for waking up during the night, it's lovely that it's warmer but it is a pain when you get all sweaty and can't sleep! DH and I weren't too bad last night, but ds wouldn't wear any clothes to go to bed bless him. Very sensible really! It was about 24 degree's here yesterday, and already the sun is shining this morning - lovely! By the way, yay re Ellis sleeping through, what a clever boy!
We are having our neighbours round for a bbq this evening, so am trying to prepare a marinade for the chicken, and make summer pudding. Keep being distracted by checking for news from 4ever every two minutes - if I don't get everything done then I shall be blaming you

Morning mermaid Hope you've been enjoying the sunshine this weekend? When do you go off on hols? xxx

morning monkey you have made me hungry already.
we are off tuesday, dh finished loose ends at work yesterday and we feel like we are on holiday already, lovely feeling. It is absolutely gorgeous here too.

qa I reckon a relaxed and mellow disposition is the way to go

monkey my ds1 slept in just his underpants the other night, then in the morning went into the bathroom to see his dad and said 'look dad I'm just like you', , they miss a thing do they

cupcake are you contracting?

4ever are you pushing yet?

Only on here could we ask those quetions

Oh and a big {{{{{hug}}}}} for blue, saw your thread too and hope B is settling for you xx

they don't miss a thing!!!!!

Morning barbie that is HOT!

Just checking in for news, think we may end up filling thread with us all lurking for news.

4ever glad you have got a better midwife this morn, it makes all the difference who you get, they have such an impact on the experience.

annie your boys are gorgeous, love the name Ellis and its great that he is sleeping through. How are you finding the age gap so far? I would have a similar age gap if I do get pregnant.

Thanks to you all for your advice, should have known better than to have googled!

Had an awful nightmare last night about having a MC, won't go in to details but it was truly awful and has left me a little shook up today Not sure where it has come from, probably just from starting to ttc, even though I didn't think i was too worried, clearly I am.

Will keep checking in for news!!

Questinsagain..... about your bad dream. Im sure we are too hard on ourselves after mc and the dream was probably these nasty worries rearing their big ugly heads. Hopefully tonight will be better for you.

vjay, yep its bloody boiling!!! ive been laughing at everybodies facebook pages saying they cant cope with the heat in the uk....wimps

where is cupcake.....

Right, pudding's are in fridge and have left ds breaking up left over bread to put out for the birds. Have put a dollop of mascarpone in them too for a bit of excitement, hope they taste nice!!!

QA Nightmares are horrible, especially when they leave you feeling weird after you've woken up. It's a big step ttc again, even if you're not feeling too worried about it. As Barbie said it's probably worry, maybe subconsciously so, that's working it's way to the surface. Hope you don't have any more!

VJay Your ds1 sounds so cute, and aren't they gorgeous when they're just in their pants

Blue Hope B is feeling better, and that you're okay?

Mermaid Very exciting that you're going away so soon, you deserve a break

Right, off to heat up chicken soup for lunch (homemade I might add ) Think I should be renamed MonkeytheDomesticGoddess, although am not very goddess-like as am still in my nightie and am covered in berry juice

yia sou monkey home made chicken soup I likey your style today.

barbie hope you are enjoying your visitors it must be lvoely to have more room for everyone this time.

bue oh sorry our little B has been poorly hopefuly some sunshine will chase away the bugs.

no news is good news they say so I reckon it's all systems go.
