    Hi everyone

    Just a very quick post from me as I am supposed to be packing while waiting for dinner!

    Had the 12wk scan today - all is good - baby is measuring at 13wks 1day! I think if Gizmo keeps growing at this rate, we're having it in June not August! Anyway, did NT scan as well - took almost one hour to get enough measurements as Gizmo kept fidgeting about and wanted to be on his/her side and stomach, which is not the right away apparently. Anyway we got enough measurements in the end and went for b/t. Will see OB on Thursday to get the results. Cross your fingers for us

    Sorry for no personals. Have an early day tomorrow as I'm travelling interstate for work. Will try to pop back in on Wednesday night if not too tired to catch up.

    chez- great news about the scan and fingers crossed all is well with the NT results- must be amazing to have scans when your little one looks more like a baby and less like a little blob

    LNB- good luck for the scan !

    Just something I have been wondering about...I know all we want is a healthy baby! But do any of you have a gender preference? (ie always dreamed of a little girl or boy)...I know we will all be delighted with and love a healthy girl or boy, I just wondered whether anyone, or your DH, quietly hopes more for one than the other? I know some friends with children who did really want one or the other, but in the end just loved and were thrilled to have a healthy baby...although a friend with 3 boys does stare a little wistfully at baby girls. I guess at this stage DH and I are just so focussed on wanting this baby to stick and stay with us and be healthy...but later on I wonder whether I will care/think more about whether it's a boy or a girl- I imagine it's something which might factor in more when it's a second child (ie hoping for one of each etc).

    Ok Ladies .... Here I go to you all just incase I miss you somewhere

    Possums: I have no record of the 10 week heartbeat expect the OB telling me it was all good hun. Relax and Rest as I think I have said before after 8 weeks he told me only 2% chance. No gender pref from me expect that DH was certain he would have another boy as is soo excited he is now getting his Princess.

    LNB: Good Luck for the Sacn Today Hun

    Chez: Go Gizmo glad you had a good scan

    Nic: Wow the 2 week visits are starting for you hun you are progessing so well.

    BG: hope you are having a calmer week and thanks for all that advice

    Janie: Hello my week ahead buddy glad things are going well

    AFM: Went to antenatal classes last night and DH had to try hard not to make smart arse comments very hard over 3 hours. Miss C kept sticking out her hand wanting to know why Mummy was not on the couch playing with her must have made me look like a skirmy heap. Think with the iron levels etc and now all I have seen and read I am leaning towards a ceaser so I will talk to the OB at our next appointment Monday beacuse I think it will take the pressure of me with fear of bleeds etc. Brisbane Breakfast Club this weekend and then some sleep for Mummy.

    TL- your story about the classes made me smile. And I hope you get some more direction about the birth when you talk to your OB

    Hi Ladies -

    Hope everyone had a good day.

    Quick post from me...

    Scan was great - bubs is perfectly normal in every regard so we are very happy.
    I still don't think I've felt any movement yet but OB is not worried and said it could take another 2 - 3 weeks before any I can be sure of any movement. After seeing bubs today I am not worried anymore about not feeling any thing.

    Big to everyone

    Take care,
    LNB

    Great news LNB, it is always such a relief to see bubs and although you can't feel anything as yet it's not going to be too far away

    Kahlan and other ladies in victoria...hope the heat isnt knocking you around too much

    afm- very tired...not sleeping well...could be warmer than usual nights (not nearly as bad as elsewhere though!) or maybe anxiety over the scan tomorrow..otherwise fine though

    Hi all - still running around the place like a made woman - but happy as I found out my boss is coming back 4 days earlier than I thought which means 4 days less of me doing 2 jobs!

    Anyway just wanted to say congrats everyone who has had scans that went well, and wish those upcomming ones all the best!

    to everyone - and stay cool!
