Hi Ladies,

Thank you all so much for your congrats! Yes, reality does hit when you know what you are having. Every now and then I whisper "my son" and it sounds so beautiful. DH is so happy too and I feel so proud all of a sudden.

Satya; you know those aches & pains, tugging, pulling feelings you sometimes get, they are far worse than the amnio. My doctor has 30yrs experiance and I think that makes all the difference. That was an important factor for me. You will be fine. The worry is more stressful than the actual procedure. I would have an amnio over an embryo transfer any day.

AliceOO; Welcome. I hope you find many friends here. Have you finished your shopping for the babies? You must be so excited that they are nearly here. Do you have names?

Sazz; you must be beside yourself wanting the birth. Im following your experiance so that I cant learn all the advice you are getting. Hope all goes well for you for a safe delivery soon.

Me; Im 18 weeks today and "my son" is giving me butterflies in my tummy occassionally. We spent the weekend on the nursery which has been gutted back to new gyprock and roof only. I bought the nursery bedding and all accessories last week; cot stuff, lamp, drapes etc etc. We bought the pram, car seat, light fittings and picked the carpet on the weekend.The carpet guy came this morning and measured up to fit. The carpenter is coming next week to do the skirting boards and then the painter is coming. After the carpet is laid we will get a wardrobe fitted. Im so excited. Its all going to happen. Relaxing today.

Hope you are all well

Tracey Lee
