Sorry ladies just a quick post...totally amazing how much work you end up with when you have a day off
Thank you all for your wishes yesterday, I think the first scan is one that you'll never forget.
Had a slight melting moment this morning actually the US picture did.
The nurse said yesterday that after some time the picture will fade and suggested that I laminate it....WELL not a good idea. It pretty much melted the complete image away and just looks like a black photo.
Lucky I scanned it last night and saved it to the lap top or I may have gone slightly mental!!
Anyway sorry for no personals but will try and catch up with you all latter.
Oh noes Nicole!! i'm surprised they suggested you laminate the pic as it's usually printed on paper similar to receipt paper - all heat activated!!! so glad you scanned it first!! i scanned and printed a copy for hubby, and am planning on doing something to preserve the original - just not sure what yet!
I'm really stunned! Every scan we've had we've been specifically told DO NOT laminate them because the pictures are printed on heat sensitive paper. Such a good thing that you scanned it first, Nic, think you should let the silly nurse know what it does so the same disaster isn't encountered by others?
The clinic photocopies the scan pics for us, and we've scanned the ones we had done at other places (Note to self: 24w scan pics are not scanned yet!), and then there's the DVD of the scans when bub was bigger...
Still feeling cruddy with this chest lurgy, but I'm finding the cooler, damper air (it's raining here) much easier to breathe than the hot icky air of yesterday. Hopefully another day resting will help and I'll be right to be back at work on Thursday... but it's just so damned hard to get motivated when you know you've got 8 weeks of work left and that's it before life changes forever!
Well we were even told not to scan ours beacuse the paper could melt by or ob so I have been taking photos on the camera
Weighed myself yesterday 2kgs put on since we started IVF trring to be patient and wait for 20 week scan but 5 weeks seems so long I just want something now.
Anyway 10 days till I turn 30 and we will be away that weekend so that will be a distraction
to all....
