Hello Ladies,

I haven't been around much the last week - school's gone back and it's bloody hot so I've been coming home and falling asleep. And, as usual, after spending forever catching up I have no time left to reply.

Possums - so stoked for you about your scan. About the number of scans during pg - with my DS I had the normal 12 and 18 then had an extra 2 or 3 near the end due to my diabetes just to check bub's size. If they won't let you maybe you can organise an extra hospital appointment to see a midwife and at least listen to the heartbeat???

Congratulations on the births of Chloe and Amber!!!! Love the names. Not loving the birth stories though - Hope holding your beautiful bundles makes everything else unimportant. Congratulations again ladies xo

Grub - phew that you and your fam are ok after the cyclone. I just can't imagine how scary it must be.

Mindhugs - Awesome news too about your scan. It must be going really well if it's already measuring big. I have also been covering a very full looking belly at work.

Dreamrise - I cannot believe the companies don't cover ivf pregnancies. It might make sense in the first few weeks, but I thought we were 'normal' after about 8 weeks in terms of risk. Good luck - I'm sure you won't need it anyway.

I know I have missed so many people - it is just too hot in this room to type any longer. My 12 week scan is finally tomorrow. I hope the extreme temps haven't done any harm. I don't see how it can cool down in there when I am so hot out here. Very nervous. Well, only one day until I find out. Talk to you tomorrow xo
