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...

Evap lines & faint bfp's are slightly different. Evap lines are like a ghost of a line that you can see if you look at the stick in bright light. A faint bfp is the same colour as the test line but is undeniably there. Because I used to do them over a number of days each month, I'd keep them on the windowsill in the bedroom & compare the darkness of the line with the line from the day before - see I am a complete madzer!

P.S. Have you raided the bin yet???

ThePFJ · 31/05/2010 10:29

Ok two first responce tests are on their way to me. It says they are so sensitive you can test up to 6 days earlier than your missed period. Thats pretty impressive. I am so excited and impatient NOW!!! Thanks so much for the idea

ThePFJ · 31/05/2010 10:31

My bin is sticky

MummyLovesSadie · 31/05/2010 10:36

That's what rubber gloves are for!

ThePFJ · 31/05/2010 10:37

I feel sick now. No, ...must.... wait... until.... first response ...arrives... nargh!!!! falls over

MummyLovesSadie · 31/05/2010 10:45

When will that be???? I have to go out now! Pah!

barbie1 · 31/05/2010 10:52

Hi girls... gosh it seems like ages since i did a proper post i love having my guest here but i miss you all

pfj any brownies left? im starving and chocolate brownie obsessed...please pass me one if you have any but wash your hands first if you have been sticking your hands into the bathroom bin im crap at all the cd, opk, cm, bd malarky mls neeko and jools were the best ones to ask, they can even tell you the hour to do the deed! ha ha. I hope it is a bfp for you, fingers crossed. And just for the record i got a bfp only a few days past ovulating on a cheap brand... Nice you see you back by the way.

cupcake

gg nice that you are having a christening, we have decided against it (sorry cupcake ) as we don't go to church and living over here there are so many different types of religion that i want dd to experience and make up her own mind on her beliefs (if that makes sense)

monkey what are the dresses like? Hope you have/ had fun at the wedding, pictures please of you in your chosen dress!

vjay ive missed you this week

blue glad you had a fab birthday and night out, and thanks for the comment on Devons swim suit, tis very cute though! We are taking her swimming this afternoon for the first time, thankgod (sorry again cupcake ) that the swim float is massive, i can hide my flabby bits behind it...just hope i remember my bikini bottoms this time!

Can somebody please email the pics of baby summer i have added myself to the emmsys list but ive been overlooked the email address is

my husbands name
followed by my surname
followed by the uk version of hotmail....(if that makes any sense)

neeko i feel your pain re the bottle, Devon used to take it no probs and then suddenly decided against it. Last night i expressed 4 0z and locked busied myself in the kitchen with the microwave, dishwasher, radio etc on while my mum forced fed patiently tried her with the bottle. 20 mins later and 3 oz were gone ...i then gave her mummy time as we do before bed and even managed to get the last oz down her! Is there anyone who can give her a bottle for you? My mum is giving her a bottle during the day (so we dont disrupt) the night routine and hopefully during the remaining 5 days we can crack this. The good thing is because she drank so much she went from 7pm to 2.30am...and even self settled after minimum shh/ patting

barbie does a little jig in glee

Right back later..im off to search for the elusive bikini bottoms

barbie joins the impatient mls in egging the pfj to stick her hands in the sticky bin!

VJay · 31/05/2010 11:39

Morning
barbie I'm here

mrskate I hope JD is feeling better, what a worry for you.

qa at being worn out, good girl , and yay to 12 hours sleep

neeko sorry you're struggling with the bottle.

PFJ I've been thinking about you . I'm with mls on the babymad tests, I had loads, and OPK's too, I even got a positive pg test on an OPK just for neeko, mad scientists that we are . Well done to little Jack and his counting, proud mummy moment for you . Your brownies sound delish, pass them round
POh and get your hand in the bin

VJay · 31/05/2010 11:40

What the heck is POh?, I meant Oh!!!

VJay · 31/05/2010 11:46

barbie I've not had any Summer pictures either

cupcakefairy · 31/05/2010 12:07

Hi girls..I'm still pregnant!! (From now on let's just assume I will be forever!!) 40+12 My parents, sister and sister's boyfriend are coming to visit today anyway to keep us company which is nice
Another sweep tomorrow.. if nothing I'm actually going to ask to put the induction back to Friday. Just desperately want to give this baby as much chance as possible to come naturally. I so want to avoid as much intervention as I can.
Did yet more crying at my Mum yesterday cos I feel like I'm letting everyone down as they can't visit during their week off just hoping dh's original prediction of June 1st was right!

Vjay and Barbie I had a Summer pic by text there wasn't an email I don't think (or I didn't get it if there was!) will send it on to you both.
And Barbie stop apologising!!! Haha, as if I'm some kind of militant who thinks you should all get your los christened I'm really not!

PFJ how exciting! We haven't had a testtesttest moment on here for a while I love it when MLS goes test mad

kate hope little JD is ok! Sounds terrifying!

LBM lol, is Jojo a bit more comfortable now??

Right, on with another day of waiting

barbie1 · 31/05/2010 12:38

we are the most active! in conversations

VJay · 31/05/2010 12:39

That's because we are chatter boxes. I am trying to find out why a solution is an upper bound, I really don't have a clue!!!

anniebigpants · 31/05/2010 12:40

Hello ladies, just popping on quickly as i have a hangover after my birthday festivities, well its a special birthday after all, im 40 tomorrow-thats a good day to have your baby cupcake
Had a fab weekend in Edinburgh with my girlfriends. My boys missed me though, soon as i got through the door Ellis held his arms out to me, and when i picked him up he was hugging my face and grinning away at me, I really missed them too.

Happy Birthday Blue for yesterday!

barbie1 · 31/05/2010 12:45

VJay · 31/05/2010 12:55

annie sounds like you had a fab girlie weekend . Happy birthday for tomorrow, hope you have a HUGE cake and lots of lovely pressies. Noticed you're still in your bigpants , I'm still in mine in RL

barbie1 · 31/05/2010 12:58

link could you see the rest of my fb i havent done a fb link before....oh im still in big pants too!

ThePFJ · 31/05/2010 13:59

Barbie that pic is SOOOOOOO CUTE!

Vjay... you were thinking of me.. Awwww. Am touched. OK the test from the bin is on the windowsill now. Will see if it does anything

I will test again Weds. And each day after. I will see this as a scientific experiment.
I have another tesco one left if the First Response ones arent here by then. Have decided to remain positive that nothing is wrong and that I am pregnant normally. I shall leave all tests in the window sill as a homage to you lot. And whatever happens, shout horray or cry my tiny ickle heart out, I'll keep you all posted.

Keep your fingers crossed.
Not your legs
