Hi guys - this thread is so happy right now .. keep it up girlies!

Nicki - you surged yeehaa!!!! I know I've been speaking to you via text but still had to comment. Just imagining right now, a wee strong swimmer has hooked up with your egg and thart 2 are becoming one beautiful embie :wink: Will keep legs, toes, ankles crossed all the way til the 5th (good date - that was my grandpa's birthday).

Kate - all the best tomorrow honey, will be thinking of you. I won't be able to log on now til Friday as have friends coming to stay so all the best. Get your hankies at the ready xx

Julie - wonderful news re little one kicking! Its such a wonderful feeling. I never mind it when I get kicked in middle of night or little one is nestling under my ribs and attacking me - its such a fantastic and surreal feeling! I hate it when you here other preggies moaning about it. You just enjoy it hun and well done for taking the whole sis thing in your stride. :D

Jen - hope you enjoyed the wedding and are having a nice time with your friends

Hi to everyone else, sorry not much time today girls.

I have been so busy since Friday! - Dh had chance to make £300 for 2 days work lifting promotions stickers on Tesco floors! So have been driving round central Scotland with him on Sunday and then yesterday keeping him company whilst he did it! I have seen just about every Tesco's store in Scotland LOL! and all their toilets :lol: think I should work for them rating there public facilities LOL!

Today my friend is coming up from London to stay for 2 nights with her gorgeous boys - 4 and 1 years old. Unfortunately my ante natal classes were cancelled and so I had to find another course in a nearby area - typica as they start today so going to go for an hour then will have to leave to go to airport. Also dh can't come as he had to do promotions work on days off so I will be the black sheep of the group - no hubby and leaving early! However there's another 3 to go where dh can come and we can go for whole time. So I'm off to finish tidying for my guests.

The weather is gorgeous here - I'm so glad to be off :D 8) :lol: (sorry for rubbing it in guys - just not used to all this time off)

Love to all xxx

KATE - How are you hun? Please update us on the scan situ. Hope all went well x x x x

JEN - Have a fab weekend. Take it easy. I have my hands part covering my mammoth (.)(.)'s doing the AF jig for ya. Hope it works!!! xx

NIKKI - Yes, I am tempted to find out and actually surprising myself by not doing so as naturally impatient, but the thought of the ultimate surprise after labour makes me wait. As for your Q earlier last week my (possible) boys name is William Peter (after my grandad) and (definate) girls name Hannah Louise. We are not telling fam/friends as we have had thoughts and they end up putting you off so that is that. Hope you doing ok and work not too much for ya :wink:

Lucy - Enjoy your hols xxxx

Lis/Gail - Hope you both ok and enjoying the good weather

I am off work next week, just lazing at home so might not be on each day as computer at home is sloooooow. have fun xxx

Sorry girls for not posting but needed a day to get my head around things. Its not good news I'm afraid - the consultant coulnd't find a heartbeat :cry:

He spent about 10mins trying and said he was 90% sure that I would miscarry and a 10% chance that the embryo was hidden. We have to go back for another scan next Thursday when they will definitely be able to tell as the embryo will be much bigger. To say we are devastated is an understatement and we are now in limbo. I have to keep taking the drugs, which I am assuming are stopping me from bleeding, and just wait.

I am so angry that life is so unfair, it was meant to be the happiest day and it turned out to be the worst! The consultatnt was really dismissive as well which didn't help. I know he has probably see it many times, but we haven't and a little bit of sympathy and understanding would have gone a long way yesterday. I can't even cry because I don't know for sure (although gut feeling tells me its over) and I keep thinking that I have this dead thing inside me which I want out so that I can grieve and move on. Although I'm not sure what we will move onto yet.

Sorry for the rant, but I am so unsure about what is happening, what will happen and where we go from here that I am a mess. I hope everyone else is doing ok - Nickie keep the pma and thanks for the texts, they meant a lot. Don't think I will post for a while, at least until next week when I know for sure what is happening - a miracle really is needed this time.

Oh Kate I am so so sorry about the news you received. I feel for you really I do. It is hard for you to stay positive but I am praying that next week will bring better news for you and your little embie is snug. I really don't know what else to say but am sending you massive hugs and love. Take care, both of you xxxx
