The thing I thought I'd never see...

[emu2016]

"Take a picture! Take a picture!" he said, bleary eyed at 5am this morning.

So I did. He knew I'd want to post it here.

I would not have got to this point without this forum and some very lovely ladies who were waiting on my news this morning.

It's early days. Thursday's test counts.

Much love. X

PS: For amusement... Mr Emu said: "why have you bought one that tells us how far gone you are? We know when it happened!!! These ones cost more!"

[Daddu1]

Wonderful soooooooo happy for u. Take care of ur self.❤️👫🌈

[emu2016 in reply to Daddu1]

Hi emu2016. So that's hug number 3 for Mr emu! Such wonderful news for you both. Hurry and get your scan booked, so you get to meet little "bean". Diane xxx

[emu2016 in reply to DianeArnold]

He'll be loving a third hug! My clinic told me to do two tests and tell them each time what it reads. So I guess after Thursday it'll be scan booking. xx

Hi emu2016. Good luck with the scan booking tomorrow. Diane xx

Aww amazing emu, so happy for you congratulations ❤️This is so lovely to see after the awful news here in Manchester this morning xx

[emu2016 in reply to Georgina78]

I was awake at 3am reading about it. I'm originally from that side of the Pennines and spent much of my youth in Manchester. Was very very sad to read about it. Hoped there was some better news for me to read at 5am x

[ch319]

You so won't be able to think about anything else today. Your mind will be entirely on this exciting result. It's just fantastic. I'm feeling twinny!

[GabriellaST]

Ahaha

That is great though – that he’s such a humorous guy, your man! Two lines would’ve been enough only for a couple of exciting hours, then I believe everyone has this urge to do something more to prove that pregnancy has been really achieved!

This is amazing that you have been able to find help here and so many ladies have supported you!

I want to say the words of support too!

Have a nice and safe pregnancy! Have it great and share with us your updates! Happy for you!

PS Congratulations! Haha, totally forgot to say it while having a happy time thinking of how wonderful your news is!

[emu2016 in reply to Sez73]

Always makes me smile when I get a little message from Oz. Thank you! still seems odd this morning! xx

[Sez73 in reply to emu2016]

Why did I not think....you know what this great news deserves....A POEM!!

So you two, you listened good

you clung on tight like I knew you would

and now we see the the amazing pic

a big fat YES on a clear-blue stick!

You’ve made your mum just jump for joy

will it be twins, a girl & a boy?!

Mr Emu must be over the moon

knowing what could happen so very soon!

I’m keeping everything crossed for you both

let Thursday come and Thursday go

just keep on getting those positive sticks

and book that scan so we see some pics!

I have my battles and yearn for the day

that I’ll get here too, I hope and I pray

but to hear of your happiness that could make you a mum

renews my belief that good things will come!

So thank you for all your funny posts here

they’ve brightened days up and relayed people’s fear

keep them coming and I’ll look out for news

as you get much bigger and can’t touch the booze!

WELL DONE SO FAR and keeping EVERYTHING crossed for you all. Lots of sunny Vitamin D filled positive vibes being flung over from Oz right at ya! Sxx

[emu2016 in reply to Sez73]

Bloody hell woman! You make me emotional again! I'm definitely saving your poems. I'm going to write them down in a scrap book! And I promise to return poems to you when it works for you xxx

[Sez73 in reply to emu2016]

I'm sorry!! I try to make you smile not cry! Just so happy for you and it really gives me hope. We've had our Skype consultation & counselling now and the matching process can soon start, I feel sick but excited. My endometriosis roars so hope my pathetic excuse of a uterus can manage to hold on to a little embie at some point soon. Been so good to read your journey so far, you've given me so much hope and your positive attitude has been inspiring. Keep up the posts, can't wait for the next installment, Very best of luck! So lovely to see your great news after reading such sad news of my home town yesterday, felt very far away from home Xx

[emu2016 in reply to Sez73]

What a sad day yesterday was. At one point, I found myself asking what kind of world is this to want to bring a child in to! I spent many many days and nights in Manchester. I lived not to far away so no wonder we bond over poems!

Keep up the hope. Cling on to it. X

[Sez73 in reply to emu2016]

Yes, v sad & horrid to watch it unfold from thousands of miles away too. It's a very different world from what we had growing up hey.

Promise to keep up the hope...I wanna see a poem from you if I get to have some good news!!

Good luck here on in to you all x x
