    OMG Jo, THANK YOU!!! You wonderful wonderful woman, you have just made my year! I hadn't even realised I had been RAk'ed yet and I just can't thank you enough! I feel so very undeserving though, why me? Surely there are way more deserving people here?! Thank you again lovely, you have just brought a huge smile to my face. I can't seem to find you on FB though! How did you go today? I will be checking back in later to check up on you. I have to admit I am also a snapfish addict and have also just sent off my last order. i love to have all my photos sorted in albums where you can see them anytime, seems such a waste to have them on the computer only where you don't really look at them. Once my order arrives I am going to be VERY busy updating the albums as I have gotten quite behind! DD also likes to look at pictures of herself but unlike Sophie she doesn't realise that the baby pics she is looking at are of herself!!

    michelle - not long to go now sweetie, I hope you are still keeping busy. I am confident that all will be well though. I just hate that you're going through this, as if you haven't been through enough already. I wish there was something I could do to make everything ok.

    Lee - it must be so difficult for you at times like these knowing what your first DH is missing out on. I can only imagine how sad it must make you and how unfair it must seem. For what it's worth, I think you have done an amazing job of bringing your kids up after going through losing your DH and I have so much admiration for you.

    Jayne - I wanted to let you know that I also think you are important! I love your posts, they are always so upbeat and funny and you always have lovely things to say to all of us, so don't forget that you matter to us!

    Lisa - I am so happy for your SIL, that is fantastic news, and I will be praying for a sticky little bub for her. How are you feeling now? I hate all those uncomfortable niggles and the constant worry if it is normal or not! I felt heaps more pressure down below with DS and found that a lot of pains started earlier than with DD. I can't believe how close you are now, that seems to have flown by!

    inertia - big big coming your way sweetie

    freya - wow, the countdown for uni is on now - not long to go at all! Sorry to hear about the rash. DD has also had a strange rash lately and I have no idea what caused it. She also isn't in any pain, has no fever etc and it goes away quickly. I may also need to visit the GP soon to see what is going on.

    Janie - how are you going today? Thinking of you constantly sweetie and hoping that gorgeous little bub of yours stays in there as long as possible.

    mako - hehe on Sage wanting as many high fives and cheering as he can get by going potty multiple times! DD has asked to sit on the toilet a couple of times lately, even made us shut the door and leave her in peace the other day, only she doesn't do anything!! I think just run through your history with Dr S, maybe have a good think about exactly what you want to say before you go. I remember being sooo nervous before my appointment with the specialist when I wanted some recurrent m/c testing done. I was a wreck and came across like a total basketcase, so I am sure you will do better than me! He even referred me for counselling after my appointment!

    Well after having the best intentions to finally write out my birth story today it is still not done! I had forgotten how much work newborns are and was stupidly thinking that with DD at daycare today I would have plenty of time to do a massive list of things that need doing and I hardly got anywhere! Sigh... will get there eventually and hopefully will prove cathartic. My parents arrive tomorrow night so it will be great having them to help out for a few days and hopefully I will be able to hide in the study for a bit and write up my story.

    Hi to everyone else

    DD is in bed, earlier than usual but she didnt have a nap all day so was overtired, i dont care what time she wakes up tomorrow i just need peace atm.

    So my scan, well i'm not sure how my scan went, i'm rather confused and more scared and worried than i was before.

    It took several attempts to get pictures & measurements and i had to completely empty my bladder.

    She said the yolk sac is of a early pregnancy between 4-6weeks and intact and she couldnt find a fetal pole but that might be because it's too early.

    The report will be sent to my Dr overnight and i'll ring tomorrow after 2pm to make sure they got it and see what the doctor wants to do from here.

    I just want to bloody cry, i dont know what to think it certainly wasnt what i was expecting.

    Sorry for the selfish post

    Jo - big big sweetie. So they didn't say how far along they thought you were? Is there any chance you could be not as far along as you thought? You poor thing, sounds very very confusing. Did they suggest another scan at a later date or do you have to wait until you speak to your dr tomorrow to know where you go from here? Try not to stress hun, as hard as I know it is, there is every chance that all is ok and you just need to wait and see what the dr says tomorrow. Hun, I wish it had gone perfectly for you today and I hate to think of you worrying and stressing about it. I wish I was closer and could give you a real hug! Will be thinking of you and I will check in after 2 tomorrow to see what your dr says.

    Oh Jo Please dont lose hope; I had almost the exact same situation with Stellan. I prepared myself for a miscarriage, I was so devestated. Turns out he was just a slow grower and 2wks after my initial ultrasound there he was, a little bean with a heartbeat! He measured super behind until 20wks when he was measuring exactly to the dates I thought I should have been; and then arrived on my original EDD! So please just hang in there til its 200% certain you should give up hope ok? We're all here for you no matter what, remember that!
