Hi Ladies,

Sorry I've been MIA for a few weeks. I've been reading this thread every couple of days, but have had MS from mid-afternoon through the evening, which is the only time I have to check BB lately (work has gotten very busy the past month or so), and so by the time I'm done reading, I just haven't had the energy to post. Luckily I feel OK in the morning, so I'm able to seem "normal" at work, esp. since it doesn't get really bad till dinner time. Just to fill you in, I had my 8 week scan 2 weeks ago and all looked good, so things seem to be progressing apace. Looking forward to the 12-week scan in a week and a half, although I suppose I should be getting nervous about the Down syndrome check, considering my age (38).

I am thinking of all you you. I'm probably too far behind to do full personals, but here are a few thoughts:

Lise, I hope your bub comes soon!

LondonMiss, it looks like you're getting close there, too.

Brunette, I'm so happy to hear that things are now going well after all of your scares. Enjoy being able to move around again!

Renee, so sorry to hear your MS is continuing and that you even ended up in hospital because of it.

Maggie, so sorry to hear of your continuing MS, too. I hope the medication works. Hearing about your and Renee's experience, I really can't complain about only having MS in the second half of the day. Plus, I'm only nauseous, not puking.

Lairdoz, welcome and a big congratulations for you that it worked this month! I'm so happy for you. Don't worry about that stupid comment in the belly buddies thread; with your sky-high HCG levels, it sounds like your pregnancy must be supremely healthy.

Leabie and Glenny - good luck with your scans next week. Glenny, I hope all goes well so you can start telling people. My DH and I decided to start telling family after our 8 week scan, but ended up waiting till last week (9 weeks) b/c my SIL had a baby the day after my 8-week scan and I didn't want to intrude on her being the center of attention (she deserves it after having a M/C last year). It's been fun telling family, but we're not going to tell anyone else until after our 12-week scan, which is a week from next Wednesday.

Hi to everyone I've missed!
