Hi all
mrskate I can't believe that you have a name already. Took is 3 weeks after ds had been borm before we could agree!

Thaks for the help with the j names - I don't have any of the J boy names, but cupcake we do already have your no 1 girls name and very lovely it is too. However, it's pretty unusual, so you can imagine how I was when I discovered another one 2 years above her at school!

I like Jesme by DH hates it and also Jessie for a boy ( again, DH hates it)

So, if anyone else is up for a challenge and would like to help, any suggestions welcome!

Sorry - must fly, hope everyone is well and have lovely weekends...

Evening.

Jools I'm very proud of you for being so brave and seeking help. I know it might seem easier to hide and tell yourself you're ok so well done you for taking such a big step. I'm sure it'll make a difference and we're all here for you.

Annie well done on surviving yesterday. Glad you felt so calm. Hope the baby doesn't keep you waiting too long.

4ever have to agree with everyone else that your post was so upbeat and lovely. Hope you're still grinning.

Vjay what a hungry boy you have but so nice that he's thriving

MLS Stop lurking and post!

I'm exhausted again so going to give in and go to bed. Love to all. Will post to rest later on this weekend.

P.S. Taking DD to see "We're going on a bear hunt" tomorrow and DH felt the baby kick today

It's not Jack Kate- but I actually wouldn't mind picking the same name as one of you girls...it's not like our kids are all gonna be in the same class is it!
...So I may aswell tell you the name is John/Johnny... simple but I adore it...plus it's my Grandpa's, FIL's and brother's name so lots of family connections. We're not totally sure we'd use it but we both love it

LOL Barbie that cracked me up you blushing over saying oh my god - as if!! I am really not one of those types! Oo I wanna see your bump, show us on here! Neeko and anyone else with a bump- you too please!

Hi jools so lovely to hear from you. Feel sad you were a wreck talking to the GP but so glad you're getting help. Thanks for popping in, am thinking of you lots.

Right, is it nearly time for dinner yet?

hi all

thanks for the messages ive put my scan pic on fb but will put on here in a mo

cupcake i hope we dont have the same my little man is going to be called Jack David after dh grandad and stepdad that have passed away xxxx

Phew what a week!!!! I realised how busy i have been when i went to make breakfast and realised the cooker was sparkling clean....means i havent used it since tues when the cleaner had been

I have been working late, wedding dress shopping with a friend, 30th birthday diamond ring shopping for me, 4d scanning...dubai golf championship and watching dh swim around the burj al arab......such a busy few days that ive been knackered! I have missed you all and thinking about you constantly!

Lots of happy news on here...wow for annie nearly ready to drop
for 4ever still so very happy for you for mrskate on a good scan and finding out the sex for jools for being a weeping mess but that you are addressing it and hopefully getting whatever help you need. We are here all the way for you honey.
cupcake at my constant use of "oh my god" on this thread
@ blue and mermaid who seem to be super organised and ready for christmas.....and for bluemoon at the strange body cycle you are having at the moment.
Big hugs to everyone else. I will do a more personal posting tomorrow once i have the computer to myself.....

I have been up since 6am this morning and on the beach for 7am to watch dh do the charity swim, i was so proud of him...and yes you can see my bump on fb, im looking shockingly bad, it was too early in the morning!!!

Just back from the golf, i might of been on the tv!......

Oh and dh has ordered me the same ring as my wedding ring to go the other side of my engagment ring so i can look like a wagfor my 30th birthday and the baby.....

The 4d scan was fab, didnt find out the sex although dh is sure he can see some 'balls' on the video i have posted pics on my profile if you wanna look...and we had uploaded the video to a popular viewing site. I can post a link to anyone interested? The baby was poking out its tongue...cheeky monkey!

Anyways im off to get more sleep, big hugs to you all x

Hiya, hope none of you have been affected by these awful floods.

Didn't manage to get back on mn yesterday as Ajay was stuck on the boob most of the day and again today, he's just got off for a sleep, I think, and hope, it's his 12 week growth spurt

jools glad you've gone to the doctors for help, but so sorry you need it, but you are doing the right thing I'm sure. Do you feel a little bit better making that move? I hope so

4ever I echo what blue says, you are so strong lady, and yes the goose bumps came out again

Ajay is awake again!!!!!!!!!Gotta go xx

4Ever - I echo what Cupcake says - I love reading happy posts from you I will really feel like a cyber auntie when this LO arrives

Iggy - I'm still beating myself up about carrying large bags of compost to the car on a Sunday, getting cramps that afternoon and starting to miscarry on the Wed - its just not worth the worry it can cause, so agree with you on the horse-riding front.

Barbie - Was that your bump amongst the pics on FB this morning ?

Just flying by really - have been trying to stay away mostly. Had some very dark days but finally plucked up the courage to see a GP this morning and ask for some help before I lose all my friends, my job and destroy my relationship with DP - I am a soggy mess as a result, but am being referred for counselling and have to fill out a questionnaire to help them assess whether I am clinically depressed and to what degree - going back next week to talk things through further and may end up on meds I think - opens up a whole new world of worry and questions re TTC though ...

Annie - you know you now need to check in hourly and have live labour thread so we can all be "there" at the birth I'm glad things went as well as they could do this week.

Faith - it is strange - I thought I'd lost what little I had with the mc last year, but I still find it strangely comforting to be / grieve in the cathedral near home. Think I'm more of a humanist.

OK, must do some work - am thinking of you all, just find it hard to "talk" at the moment.

Ooh, yes meant to post some J names I like for LBM

Josiah (I love but dh disagrees!)
Joseph
Joshua
Jonah

Jocelyn
Joely
Janey

..ok I've run out...and I bet you already haveat least one of those boy names in your dh or ds ... there is another boy J name that's just my favourite ever but I think we might use it if we have a boy

Hi happy Blue cake, scones, candy?? You're making me hungry again (though it doesn't take much at the mo!!) I will just make myself a nice cuppa peppermint tea to see me through to lunch though.. seems to do the trick a bit with the throat-burn but will def be getting gaviscon if it continues.
Wooppee, faith freaks unite <cupcake scares off most of the Emmsys>
I'm in a bit of a Friday mood too, I'm doing some writing, the sun is shining, and I'm seeing the actual sexiest vampire tonight Blue- Robert Pattinson <swoon> (yes I am a thirteen year old girl)

How is everyone?

Afternoon ladies,

Just bought up my own body weight in cake and candy at DS's nursery for Children in Need then spent lovely two hours with Mum friend's eating scones and chatting about babies . Back home now to tackle ironing and generally potter and enjoy some me time..

4ever - reading your posts always make my heart melt and sing in equal measures . You are a testiment to the school of never giving up and I salute you and your DH . So glad you get strength from hospital chapel, I'm a bit of a faith freak too, just think there is someone looking out for all of us which is hard to understand sometimes when bad things happen to good people, but we have to believe it will all work out... Cripes got a bit existential there .

cupcake - with you on the heartburn, mine is in my throat too. Remember you can get Gaviscon on prescription - I get two huge bottles every time and it saves me a fortune. Your DH sounds so in love with you and this lo <heart merl>, January will be here before you know it and you have 16 week ante-natal first when you'll get to hear hb .

Moon - how are you today? Hope you've not disappeared again, please keep posting and letting us know how you are.

Annie - so glad you coped OK with visiting the crematorium and your DS2 decided to stay put. Keep bouncing on that ball! I'm going to start bouncing tonight whilst lusting after Bill Compton (sexiest vampire evah) in True Blood.

LBM - any further forward with 'J' names??

TFI Friday! Listening to my Mat tunes playlist, 'Moondance' by Van Morrison is on at the mo' doobedoobedooo x
