Hey Renee - I went for my nuchal test scan yesterday, (so it was a day before 13 weeks) and you are going to be so amazed at what you can see. I counted fingers and toes!!! I'm hanging out for you to get your scan so you can let us know what you saw. Our downs syndrome chance is 1/11500 so very very low risk therefore we don't have to get any invasive tests done (amniocentesis). The awesome thing for me and DH was that our EDD has changed from 19/12 to 15/12 which is the date that I worked out based on LMP but the FS said it was the 19th for some crazy IVF reason. Bah! Bub is apparently 'perfect' and measuring 6.5cm, yet it was the 7week scan that it was only 0.65cm, amazing how quick they grow.

Brunette - your new independance sounds great, however now it means housework :-(
Sorry to sound ignorant but can you explain the identical twin thing to me? I thought you had 2 x embies transferred in, so does that mean that 1 didn't stick, and the other split into two?

Leabie - good that your acupuncture is coming to an end, they must be pleased with your 'pulses' (ha ha). My last session was last week and he said that unless I get heartburn or really bad back down the track then he doesn't want to see me.

Juniper - sorry to hear you're suffering MS - on a positive note when I saw my FS/OBs a few weeks ago he said that MS is a sign of a healthy pregnancy. I then had to say to him that I haven't had ANY.... he didn't comment further, hmpf, typical.

AFM I have hit 13weeks and I'm feeling great, except for the constant bloated feeling and the tiredness, however I've had both of those for weeks so nothing new there! And tonight I took out my horseshoe earrings that I've been wearing since EPU and ET. I feel like I've hit a milestone, and can now start planning the nursery. (got the Mountain Buggy Swift so DH can jog with bub, and an Angelcare monitor that is really cool - it has movement sensor mats that go under the cot mattress and after 20 seconds with no movement the alarm goes off! Also picked up a 0-18kg car seat for $139 on sale at Target over the weekend). Next on the list is painting the nursery (DH, not me!) and cot etc. Phew!!

To everyone else, big belly rubs and hugs to all

Chrissy
