I have been hanging about for a few days waiting for the new thread, so I thought I'd get off my ass and make one myself. Happy weekend all, and Happy Mother's Day!

XXX

Hey soph

Glad the minieggs went down well and that Sam is OK

Where is everyone????

Here! not meant to be though... had to try this...

I'd like to eat my chocolate egg right now!

I did last night

Will you get another one for the weekend then Ellie?

What is everyone doing? I've got nothing much planned for tomorrow, probably just cleaning etc, then an early scan on Saturday (fingers crossed everything is ok) and then over to a friend's house for Sunday roast lunch nom nom nom. Apparently there is going to be a little easter egg hunt for Babybee and friend's DD (similar age) -- this I want to see...DS has only the vaguest idea of 'looking' for something with much prompting and ultimately picking up the thing and waving it in front of his face. I'm not sure whether chocolate incentive is going to be enough to counter the "male looking" gene which is clearly a dominant force in his make up at the moment.

Oh dear, have just read a bit further down and seen the sad news about Christmaspixie. I don't think I was around for antenatal here, but it's really so sad to hear of the loss to that family. What a hard thing for any family to bear.

Hellloooooo! Deary deary deary, what horrible weather we've got again?! I'm sitting here with the heating on, under a duvet, and with an ill boy again. I'm getting flashbacks from January!

Hmm, all this talk of eggs... I've eaten all mine. Again.

Started work yesterday, and so far (only second day, mind you) I really like it. Very professional office, so the fact that I've out-egged all my suits might be a little bigger problem than anticipated!

Not much else to report really. Except that I've already showered twice today as R's chest is so bad that he's vomited phlegm over my shoulder... Urgh. It helped a bit with his breathing though, poor soul, so that together with his inhalers will hopefully help him get some sleep. So far tonight he's been crying every half an hour at least. Wish me luck!

So sorry to hear about Christmaspixie, Fliight I know you must be so upset, as you were such good friends. Thanks for letting us know.

Hey all. Sorry to hear that LO is poorly again Sal. Sam seems to be coming out of his now (fingers crossed). He's only brought small amounts of food up over the last couple of days so hopefully he might put a little weight back on. Oh and pleased you're enjoying your job btw

DS1 opened the mini eggs yesterday (I was feeling generous ) and they went down a treat. We're being real piggies today as we're having casserole and dumplings - yay! And we're out tomorrow for lunch with some friends - scrum.

LadyBee - good luck with the scan tomorrow

Well, better get on. We've started a major spring clean. I've only managed to sweep and mop the top two floors but it is looking a lot cleaner and brighter already. Our bedroom's never been so clean. I also stood for nearly an hour this morning doing a huge pile of ironing ... I thought DH was going to pass out through shock LOL. I've now got to convince DS1 that he does want to clean his bedroom tomorrow & then all I've got left is the living room & kitchen to sort out! I really know how to enjoy my holidays ha ha!!

Hey Soph! Great news about Sam, hope he's back to his own self pretty soon.

And go you with your hard working on holiday! I'm doing... nothing.

Soph, glad to hear we're not the only ones turnign the house inside out. Even with me managing to nap for three hours this afternoon (), we've mopped and scrubbed the bathroom, kitchen, diningroom and done so many loads of washing we're now surrounded by piles as I don't actually think there's enough storage for everything to be clean at once

Babybee is clearly uncomfortable tonight, not sure what's going on but it too him an age to go off to sleep and now he's grunting and groaning. Hope he's not suffering the the aches of another cold.

Scan tomorrow, am petrified and excited in equal measure...gah.

Good luck with the scan, Ladybee!

Fingers crossed that Babybee will be bug-free.

Hey all. Well, I've done absolutely nothing this morning - I think the novelty's worn off. There just seems like there's so much more to do & I so hate housework ... which is why the house normally looks like a skip Our kitchen's tiny so I'll probably go clean that as it will take all of 10 minutes

DS1 is all set to go out (although we're not going till 1pm) as these friends of ours have a couple of kids a few years older than him and he really loves playing with them & they're really good with him. He's been up and dressed since 7.30am - normally he's still in his PJ's until I force him to get dressed!

Anyway, better get on. Have good days everyone xxxxx

crap crap crap. Scan showed an empty sac, absolutely correct size for dates just no sign of a foetus inside it. It appears I have been having a phantom pregnancy or some other crapness. Am hugely disappointed and upset, obviously, but weirdly not totally shocked, maybe because one of my closest friends has had two missed miscarriages so getting bad news in a scan doesn't seem like such a surprising event now.
Mostly managed to keep it together in front of babybee so far, he was there at the scan and got quite upset when I cried when the sonographer confirmed what we could all see. He's being put to bed now by DH so can start to let go a bit, I guess. Mostly just feel numb and in limbo. Not sure what will need to happen - obviously my body hasn't quite realised that I'm not really pregnant, presumably it would at some point?

Sigh.

Argh shit Ladybee, I am SO SO SO sorry. Thinking of you.

Aw, Ladybee, so very sorry to hear that!

Happy Easter everyone... Chocolate flavoured hugs all round xxxx

Ladybee - I am SO sorry sweetheart. That is really bad There is nothing anyone can say when crap like that happens is there? I feel for you, I think I might know a little bit how you are feeling.. what with my recent ectopic and all... but hang in there, we are here for you. Have all the mini-eggs you need and put your feet up. Huge hugs. xxx

SuperSoph - So happy you got your parcel honey, sorry your little one saw it first. Bad Luck

Scorps - Hope you well and ok too honey. Let us know how you are?

I have been shopping and bought some scummy new clothes. I have also nearly killed myself clearing and digging over the front garden!! However, it looks fantastic now and I am very proud of me. So now I am off to see how many mini-eggs I can fit in my mouth and up my nose at the same time.....

Have a lovely weekend all of you lovely ladies.

ThePFJ xxx

Hey All!

LadyBee - am so so sorry about your scan. Great big hugs to you and yours & hope everything comes good in the end.

PFJ - just out of interest, how many mini eggs did you manage to stuff up your nose LOL I couldn't cope if we had a garden to sort out as well as the house. Thank god for small patios and tiles

Hey Soph! Happy Easter! Hope you've stopped cleaning and is relaxing instead!

How is Sam now?

Ladybee - I'm so sorry. I think your body will catch up soon and it will (hopefully iyswim) start to go. I don't know I'd you've mc before but it can hurt so get hotvwater bottle etc and lots of sanitary towels. be brave. Xxxx

well I'm a huge knob. And I'm not going to say shy cos Sal will probably drive here and slap me!

Hey Scorps! Oh don't be silly, I won't slap you too hard.

Don't be silly, come back and chat, even if you're back with him, I miss chatting to you! Have wondered how you were, so don't be so quiet.

No not back together. I honestly couldn't tell you what is going on as I don't even know. I wish I was stronger and could say fuck off and mean it.

Apart from all that, I'm ok, having a quiet life, counselling starts in 2 weeks. My cpn is concerned I have an eating issue ffs. I don't.

Piglet is getting big and keeps poohing all over her clothes. Mimi is talking more and tried saying chocolate today jamie is staying at mums tonight, he's getting worse I think and I need some help with him, I thought adult 1-2-1 would be good so he's there for 'jamies special time'. Reilly is fine after operation, all ok with him.

What was up with Reilly? Am glad he's ok though.

Thanks for all the thoughts ladies. I'm doing ok-ish. I was hoping the local EPU would be open today but no luck, so am just feeling a bit in limbo at the moment. Babybee is getting lots of extra hugs and kisses but he's been a bit poorly anyway so deserves them. He's completely off food at the moment, won't take more than a couple of bites of anything although quite happy to eat chocolate egg so I don't think it's too serious.

I'm amazed at B's language-spurt at the moment. He was just puddling along with the same words and sounds for ages, then suddenly, maybe in the last 3-4 weeks, he's trying to copy everything we say, commenting on what is going on around him, arguing etc. I think my favourite is when he uses 'actually' in the right place - 'Actually, Daddy's car, Mummy' 'no, it's mummy's car, B', 'no, it actually Benny car', very sweet, if infuriating.

It's all right, not our place to judge, we're not living your life. So I can happily say what I think someone should do, and I'll stick to that, but it doesn't necessarily mean that that is what works for you. The last thing I'd want is for you to feel you're failing anyone by making your choices.

Hmm, that is my rambling way to say I'll always be here for you, whatever you decide or don't decide. We were friends before all of this happened, obviously we'll be friends long after! Man or no man.

Re eating issues - maybe she's just a bit older? I feel ancient when I look at all these young girls (i.e. you ) with their skinny bodies and bikini tans, thinking "have some meat for dinner, you'll fall over!" I'm sure it's meant well.

Aww Ladybee, how sweet of B! They are so adorable at this age (when not driving me insane, it's about 50/50 ).

She kept asking me alot of questions about eating, my feelings when I eat, etc. She says she is going to say to my counsellor as she feels my answers need more work. I don't diet or limit food, I am eating three meals, I don't have a need to be thinner though I do want to be slim, though isn't that normal with women?!

Thankyou, I don't know WTF to do. I want to be strong but I'm not. I don't even know what's going on. We are bloody married - why isn't it black and White?!
