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...

Sorry ladies, still nothing from me

Heard from 4ever late last night she said if she still wasn't dilated she was having another pessary this morning. Seems to be going on ages, really feel for her! But thankfully her dh is keeping her spirits up LBM I remembered her saying that about 25th too so I hope she does have her today
It's exactly 8 years since dh & I met today...maybe our lo will appear too! (unlikely)
Really really hoping for an arrival soon though. My sister has this whole week off & could have been here helping out etc if baby had been timely she is staying at my parents now poised to visit!

LBM how lovely that you are being so well looked after

barbie lol at Indian Summer

iggy hope the scan is lovely today ours at 36 weeks was amazing!

blue I had been concerned about you not posting especially after seeing some of the others say you'd been low... yuk, hope the horrible sickness bug is on its way out! Have you met your new little niece yet?

I will text everyone whose number I have when we have news by the way

Morning, I am a lurking too

mls lovely scan picture

blue hope you are feeling better my lovely

Poor cupcake, hopefully not too much longer now. I do remember chatting to neeko on here then not long after she went into labour, so chat to me , it could work again

Hi chatty ladies. Just took me aaages to catch up although MLS has been texting me the highlights and I've been passing them on to Blue.
DH is away and the girls and I (that still sounds funny ) are off to stay with my parents for a few days so someone please text me when these shy and reluctant babies put in an appearance.

Cupcake the waiting is a killer but will be so worth it. Ahem ingesting it in rasp leaf tea is supposed to work - YUK!!!

4ever give your DD a talking to! Good luck!

LBM Joanna is a lovely name. Is it easier going from 2 to 3 than 1 to 2? People keep telling me it is.

Iggy Happy scan. You're almost at the top of the list.

Moon and QA hope this is your months.

Welclcome back to Annie Buddha and Jools

Hi to everyone else. Can't wait til H starts going down earlier so I can catch up properly.

Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine

is this the longest labour.......ever!

Ive been out shopping, lunch and ikea and still nothing

Back to one handed typing so cant write lots but wishing iggy a good scan cupcake a quick labour mermaid a happy holiday neeko some down time from H, vjay a successful project with ds and everyone else a happy tuesday!

...and I wish you a happy one handed lurk on mn barbie

Embarrassing barbiemoment 1045 5 was yesterday by the pool. Decided to rejoin my mum for a swim while daddy watched over the sleeping lo...was chatting to my mum while dropping my dress to my ankles, stood out of dress when my mum made this face

i had forgotten that i had removed the wet bottom from the earlier swim and had on the worst pregnancy big pants ever! although it would of looked a damn sight better than my post pregnancy bum squeezed into a pair of thongs! i couldnt pull my dress up fast enough, needless to say i didnt go for a swim!

thanks vjay!

what have you decided to make, i was racking my brains all last night, but sadly my post baby brain isnt very good as you can see above ^^^

snort , I really should stop reading your 'moments' when drinking tea

X posts, DH has come up with a fab idea, we are going to convert an empty pop bottle into a bird feeder with sticks through it for the birds to sit on. I will take a photo when it's done so you can all see. DS1 still wants to make a robot but is warming to his dad's idea

honestly they were gross! big pants that some how disappear up your bum when you bend over, which i had to do eeek! and dont get me started on the pattern...yuk! primark specials i really should be back in nice underwear by now

you could by a fake bird to put on it!!! oh im excited now!

on the bird feeder, not my bum! incase anyone misunderstood!

Lol , I could get my plastic hawk that I will be putting on my roof next year to frighten the seaguls, now there's a plan

do you realize its always just you and i talking to ourselves most of the time!

the plastic hawk would work a treat!

Barbie- you are a classic! Never fail to make me laugh out loud

Vjay-Thats a brilliant idea of your DH,s for Ds,s craft project, i couldnt come up with anything im afraid as not very artistic.

Cupcake-You say you dont think you will have LO today-you never know. You may be lucky and have a really fast labour. Today doesnt end until midnight so you have loads of time-lol!

Waves to LBM Neeko GG Jools and anyone else who is lurking.

Before i forget, today Ellis is 6 months old! Happy half a year to my baby boy

Am lurking on my phone...

Scan was great baby is head down (am 32 weeks) and they think is likely to stay that way. Is approx 4lbs, and is average size for everything. V. Happy.

mls was not there, but have heard good things about that hosp.

barbie you are hilarious!

Neeko am getting quite excited to be climbing the list!

cupcake poor you with the waiting, I am so impatient.. Fingers crossed

Glad you had got chance to see your baby again iggy and baby is being good and facing in the right direction for take off!

lurk, lurk, lurk

great news iggy - can't believe that you are at 32 weeks already! That seems to have flown - not long now for you...

Operation bottle worked well last night - she put on a tiny 10g in the last 2 days and so will be continuing the bottle at bed time - if nothing else, it means I get some sleep!

Lurkity lurkity lurk!

Iggy 32 weeks wow!

Happy 6 months anniversary Ellis - thats gone so quick.

I've just done a whirlwind tidy of my house. Got 9 mums and babies from my NCT class coming over for the afternoon.

im beginning to think she might of run out of battery on her phone!

and yes im still lurking

Lurking again and snorting at barbies story

Happy birthday to Ellis!!! Curlygirl is doing great thanks Annie. She still doesn't like going to sleep but she's getting better at staying asleep at least

Where is little miss 4ever????

Waves to lbm vj Neeko Iggy cupcake jools Mls blue and all the lurkers

moon hope you have been blipping like the wind. This is moon month plus two more bfps

and big hugs to anyone who needs them. I think of u a lot x

lurky lurk and out...

Haven't read through since I posted this morning but wanted to quickly update...

4ever is finally 1cm dilated, yippeee!! She's being moved to the delivery room, having her waters broken, epidural and oxytocin drip and very much hoping there will be no c-section after all. Baby4ever might be here by the end of the day

Yay for 4ever thanks for the update cupcake! You next!!!

barbie I laughed out loud at your story too, and the bird/bum clarification

Vjay you can move in and chat to me all day if it gets this baby moving

Lol neeko doesn't Michael McIntyre do a bit about the whole sperm-in-raspberry-leaf-tea thing...ewwww I can safely say I will NOT be trying that. Though even my MUM text earlier asking if we had tried sex seriously, not cool.

gracie hope you had a lovely time with the NCT group, can imagine it's a bit mad!

iggy fab news about the scan; it is lovely seeing lo again isn't it and well done to baby iggy getting in the right position

Hi curly big hugs to you too.

I have been to midwife this afternoon. Baby now 1/5th engaged (I could tell it had dropped even lower, pressure on my pelvis is insane!) and sweep booked for Saturday morning, eek.

LBM...if you have a few mins to spare (pah, I know!) there is a lady on the May thread really perplexed after being told baby is breech & she might need a csection. She's given birth naturally before and is due tomorrow.
Just wondered if you might have some sage words of advice for her! It's the last post on this page but obviously no worries if you don't have time!
