Well, just got in from a really long morning - the scan went great, but took forever. It went over 2 sessions with a 45 minute break in between in an effort to have bubba move around for a better scan of the heart. Saw all the little toes and fingers...bubba was actually thumb sucking which was just awesome to see. We did get a tentative 'girl' response to gender, which is what probably 85% of family are hoping for, but at risk of sounding cynical, am not going to get their hopes up on it, will play it down to the fam and will hold back from purchasing 'girly girly' things (well, i'll try, don't know how long it will last, i'm already pretty exstatic at the concept).
Have app. with midwife on Monday afternoon and i assume she will go through all the results of the scan, the sonographer was lovely and explained everything she was doing and looking at, but she obviously wouldn't state anything about placenta position etc other than things are looking good and baby is developing well.

Mako - well done on the work thing. It sounds like your the one keeping the place in business - keep your position (who knows, maybe you and Dh should try and disappear for a night or 2, it could be nice).

Sonya & Lis - it's just a constant wait isn't it, from one BT to the next, then one scan to the next, appointments, there's always something we're waiting on. And it is so hard not to be anxious. And try not 2 worry about the ms - mine began at 7wks, over at 14-15wks and the boobs, well, i'm still awaiting some real change, otherwise, its going to be disappointing for me and bubba when all i have to offer is little boob bottles! We (and our bubba's) are all so different, yet on the same journey. Hugs 2 you both.

Marcellous - well done on taking it easy - that's me every morning while i have DH getting me breaky, it's gotta be better for bubba taking things gently and trying to stay calm and relaxed.

Kotare - you got me laughing, on the positive of missing the appointment, at least it means you've not been sitting around stressing out about it or getting overly anxious. There'll be another appointment, it just might be closer to your 18-20wk scan. I'm sure your not the first or last of us pg's who just simply forget!

Hi to everyone else...if i wasn't pg, i'd be shouting you all a celebratory chamaigne, we're all doing so great, even when we think we're not!
