Its been a little while since I've popped in, so much to catch up on!
Firstly, a big WELCOME to airline and Tantee! Great to see you both in here. Airline, I remember you from the LTTTC threads from last year. And Tantee, you're definitely in the right place! KWYM about the anxious wait for the 7wk scan, I went and got another blood test from my GP at the 6 week mark to tide me over! As others have said, take it one day at a time if you can. The old PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise) helps too, I learnt that in here.
Lairdoz - how damn annoying about the name thing! I'm with the others - just call your baby what you want to, your sister shouldn't have any impact on that. I'm married to someone with the same name as me, and even that doesn't get too confusing, so cousins on opposite sides of the world should be fine!
Juniper - I had DH not wanting to tell anyone our news til after the 12wk scan (his family included). When we told his parents, we asked them not to tell anyone for a little while, as we still had some people we wanted to tell personally. We gave them permission to tell 2 of their friends after a few days, and that satisfied their urgent need to tell someone! Maybe that could be an option for DH? Let them tell one or two people you're not going to speak to personally? Just a suggestion.
MaggiePie - I hear you on the baby brain! Forgetting stuff and having rather a lot of vague moments. Had my worst one so far - I just knocked my passenger wing mirror off today, after getting too close to a power pole while parking Dunno how I'm going to explain that one to DH...
Brunette - hope you had a lovely weekend away at your friends wedding / mini-babymoon!
Jaki80 - best of luck for your scan tomorrow. you see a lovely heartbeat!
Hi to all that I've missed, hope you're all travelling well!
AFM - Just got back from a fantastic long weekend up in the Hunter Valley, celebrating our 2nd anniversary. DH was delighted with himself, having a chauffer to drive him around to all the wineries to do wine tasting. I was delighted with waking up every morning without a hangover I'm going through food withdrawals now though, and am so depressed at the prospect of having to cook dinner, after having not had to do it for 3 days... I did surprise myself with how much food I put away on the weekend, my appetite has definitely increased. I've never been able to eat as much as I can now! Uh-oh...
