Thanks Nixon...I'm having an 8 week scan (sadly the ultrasound rooms were closed the week before, so I will be 8 weeks and 2 days ... I was hoping to go earlier than 8 weeks but that wasnt available...nevertheless my SIVF nurse recommended the 8 week scan...)... that will be Oct 14th...so not tooo long to wait..a few weeks to go. Looking forward to that, just to have more reassurance and make it seem more real.
tiggerlinda- thanks...as you know it's hard not to worry at this early stage so every bit of reassurance is very welcome.
Possums - woo hoo! Your levels sound great to me! Excellent to hear that all is progressing well. How annoying that you have to wait for your scan, I hope it doesn't feel like too long.
TL - oooh! Good luck for Friday hun, it's going to be great - I just know it! Hey, you're almost in the second trimester - how exciting is that?
Just checking in again - I know I've been very quiet for a while...
We had the first of our extra scans today to check that we're clear of heart defects and growing properly despite only having a single artery in the umbilical cord. Very pleased to report that everything is perfect with the heart, and munchkin's absolutely spot on for dates and kicking about like a maniac! Immensely relieved to be able to report that my little man is still actually a little man, both DH and I could clearly recognise all the right bits - so that's a huge relief!
We both took the day off work to get stuff done around the scan today... and have managed to purchase a cot! It was in stock and we had the big car so we've even managed to bring it home today. The room is nowhere near being remotely ready for it, so now we need to store a huge box in there! I guess it's incentive to get a move on and get the rest of the room sorted to make space. I'm really pleased with the cot, too - kingparrot alice cot for $299! No mattress, we'll sort that out later - DH is being very, very particular about things!
I'm not even going to attempt personals (need sleep!) but I will try to keep up a little better from here on.
I think I lost this thread when we started a new one, so I'm a bit behind now.
So good to hear all the news about scans and things going well.
Not long to go until my 12 week scan now..just 12 more sleeps!! I'm starting to get nervous already. I am home really sick at the moment with tonsillitis. I could barely move yesterday and my temp was up around 38.5. Dr gave me some safe antibiotics and told me to keep the fever under control with panadol. I think DH was concerned I was overcooking Buddy... I could barely speak I was so out of it yesterday afternoon. It was awful. Hopefully on the mend now though.
TL - mine was over and done with in 5-10 minutes! So make sure they give you a dvd as it is over so quickly - you need to be able to look back to remind yourself it was not a dream. It is mind blowing!
