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...

hi girls just lurking for news on the babies

come on baby 4ever and Babycake

monkeybumsmum · 25/05/2010 18:22

Hello Am back from work finally! Great news that things are starting to get going properly for 4ever, haven't been able to concentrate on anything all day!

Cupcake how are you holding up? Hope you've had a lovely day - did you see your friend?

Right, help needed please - am having a big panic as have a wedding to go to next weekend and no chance to get anything to wear. Am stressing madly! Have just found a couple of dresses so if anyone's bored/got time/a bit of a fashionista then opinions would be fab! Also need a bag and shoes to go with either dress but haven't a clue where to look!! Dress No 1 and dress No 2 I love the second one but not sure if it would suit me - am absolutely hopeless when it comes to clothes

MummyLovesSadie · 25/05/2010 18:34

Monkey dress number 2 without a doubt! I wouldn't try & get a coloured bag/shoes to match dress, rather gold, tan or flesh coloured shoes & bag. Wedges would be really cool!

monkeybumsmum · 25/05/2010 18:47

Ooh yay, am glad you said that! What about a silver bag or shoes? Think the dress has got silver shimmery bits in it?

cupcakefairy · 25/05/2010 19:16

I agree with MLS I was thinking simple gold or tan strappy sandals with the second dress, which is gorgeous by the way!

I'm well thanks monkey yeah my bf did come over, was v lovely to see her & we watched yet more tv box sets...I'm going to get through hundreds before this baby arrives!

Hi mrskate

Hello chatty ladies, wow i've had a lot to catch up on! Glad that no babies put in their appearance while i was away though but poor 4ever its taking so long and she must be so desperate to meet her lo, hopefully not long now!

Ooh and cupcake not long for you either, its all very exciting.

iggy wow at 32 weeks already! seems to have flown by for me, but maybe not for you.

QA woohoo to ttc again, lots of luck and babydust to you

mls congrats on a lovely scan, beautiful photo too

curly you always sound so happy when talking about curlygirl, its really lovely, hope you are both doing well

annie nice to see you, happy half birthday to ellis monkey i like the 2nd one too, very summery, and also agree with mls on going for gold/silver (even white?) accessories and a flower in the hair?

barbie you never fail to make me laugh, wonder if your dd will take after you

waves to neeko vjay lbm and gracie and apologies to those i've missed.

af should be due next week, think im cd 23 today but have a faceful of spots and backache so i guess i am out of the running this month

cupcakefairy · 25/05/2010 19:30

Hm, sorry LBM but no need to go over to that thread now, she had a scan & baby isn't breech after all!

cupcakefairy · 25/05/2010 19:31

Hi moon
to signs of af but as we always say... it ain't over yet...!

OP posts:
MummyLovesSadie · 25/05/2010 19:47

Yes Monkey silver would work too, how about something like this?

I so agree with you Moon a flower in the hair, maybe turquoise which looks great with silver & to go with the turquoise bits in the dress. Like Cupcake said, it's not over until it's over. I really can't recommend temping enough though, especially to someone like you who tends to have long cycles. That way you'd be able to pinpoint the day you ovulate.

Come on 4ever we are all rooting for you!

I'm having a perfect night, 'Enders on the telly & after that a curry for one!

VJay · 25/05/2010 20:42

Happy half birthday Ellis

monkey I like both dresses, so no help whatsoever

iggs can't believe you are 32 weeks already, you'll be beating 4ever and cupcake at this rate....only kidding 4ever and cupcake, stop throwing tomatoes at me

mermaid thinking of you enjoying the sun

4ever I hope you are nearly pushing now

barbie we are always to talking to ourselves, LOVE IT

I have just told DH about you liking his bird feeder idea, I even read out some of what you'd put, and he said 'I'm a dick head?', he thought that's what DH stood for

I'm out most of tomorrow, so could someone PLEASE text me with any news.

VJay · 25/05/2010 20:44

mls hope you're enjoying your perfect night.

moon don't count your chickens just yet ....what does that really mean

VJay · 25/05/2010 21:08

Oh forgot to add, I had my first Guided self help session today, it was really good, I have very low self esteem, but we have a plan to get it back up again

CurlyBigPants · 25/05/2010 21:54

Hello all, still lurking. Very excited that monkey is shopping a la mumsnet. I love both dresses but the second one is more fabilicious even. Love the ideas for bag and shoes, definitely wedges, and the flower in the hair.

Poor 4ever hope she is nearly there

moon I haven't given up yet on moon month!! It was lovely what you said about me and curlygirl. She does make me very happy, especially now that I've stopped stressing quite so much about everything. She giggles now, and has little chats that mainly sound like hu hu hu

VJ I'm so glad the session went well. Can you tell us more about it? Btw I think you are wonderful, and gorgeous and probably one of the coolest people I have (never) met. I do mean that - all of it. I've always loved that you were the first to pop but have never given up on any of us

Big waves to cupcake mrskate and mls and all lurkers. Mmmmm curry

CMON let's have some news!!!!

VJay · 25/05/2010 22:43

Oh curly that is just lovely, thankyou, I never been called cool before . Basically, re the session, I think negatively about things too much, I think no one likes me or that people are talking about me, stupid I know. I've got to retrain my thoughts, at the end of the day I'm not a mind reader, or a fortune teller, I don't know what other people are thinking and I can't see into the future, so shouldn't be thinking like this.
I have a lovely home life and just need to focus on my boys (that includes DH), and only really care what they think and feel as they are paramount to me.
There's a bit more to it, but I've had too much wine tonight to put it into words correctly.

Big kisses to curlygirl, I love it when they start to make those noises

GracieGirl · 26/05/2010 02:32

2:30am lurkity lurk!

barbie1 · 26/05/2010 04:09

good morning peeps!

starts humming loudly....why are we waiting, la la la la la laaaaaaaa

MummyLovesSadie · 26/05/2010 06:21

No news? Pah!

MummyLovesSadie · 26/05/2010 06:44

Who wants to see a picture of Denice Van Outen two weeks after giving birth?

MummyLovesSadie · 26/05/2010 06:59

Just for the record Vjay I think you are fantastic too. You are always here for other people & you don't have a nasty word to say about anyone. I've said it before & I'll say it again, you are a super-Mum, I don't know how you manage studying, your home life, two children & supporting everyone on here but you do.

CurlyBigPants · 26/05/2010 07:20

Lurkity lurk....

Gracie do you remember when 2:30am meant coming home early from a club time!!!!

vj it's hard not to care what others think. I do. I find it gets a bit easier as you get older and focus on who and what really matters but I still get bouts of insecurity - I call it my dose of the losers. I'm glad you are doing these sessions. It sounds great

mornin Barbie time to get up... A new day, a new pair of giant pants

she does look good MLS damnandblastit lol at her dress tho. I bought a few wraparound dresses before curlygirl was born thinking they'd give access for feeding only to realise that actually bf in such a dress involves completely unravelling and exposing yourself

I keep singing cmon Eileen in my head. Anyone got news????

CurlyBigPants · 26/05/2010 07:23

Oh I forgot I am very excited about cupcakes sweep. Cmon babycakes. Hurry up before then

barbie1 · 26/05/2010 08:54

aha! look at denise in the first pic......you can see her body suit control pants halve way down her leg.....he he! i too would be slim if i wore those !

Since its vj appreciation day.... i love you to vj!!

curly 2.30am was the time we used to decide whether to get a taxi or walk to the 24 hour cafe that served the best breakfasts! Home by 4.30am for us....oh those were the days

barbie1 · 26/05/2010 08:59

mermaid second dress for sure...some flat sparkly silver
sandals, big bangles and a long necklace...tres chic.

barbie1 · 26/05/2010 09:00

meant monkey

CurlyBigPants · 26/05/2010 09:26

Mmmm... fatboy breakfast!!! You've got me hungry now Barbie
