Melster - Keep challenging those bad thoughts hun! Turn that 'I'm sorry' into 'there's your baby'.

T-Hopes - 12wks is such a great milestone...... I too was as excited as you. Enjoy your scan on Monday!

Turkey - I mean Dory - My mum is exactly the same!! Let's bond over it, here goes: I wish I had found the word 'catastrophising' earlier, because it explains her in a nutshell. You can't open a window because a huge storm might brew in 10 seconds flat, suddenly pour rain thus soaking every object in my house, yes even the ones far from the windows. LOL. And I should get rid of my furbabies because they'll try to kill the baby. Ummm.. yeah ok. Apparently it's ok to discard members of the family because a new baby is coming. I do the same as you. Respond with a flat NO. Oh and wow about the soy milk comment.... I'd be really upset too, and it does seem like she's prodding at the loss of your previous babies in trying to make you watch a news clip on mc. I mean seriously, wtf. Thanks for your reassurance, but I do sometimes feel like a bit of a drama queen when I'm off on one of my complainy-pants rants and then someone else has something going on which just makes my thing seem... insignificant. But in a good way I promise. It helps me to realize things aren't all that bad, and that I should vent and move on quickly. I can always count on you to listen, even if I am being a complainy-pants. Feel free to take over the thread any time you want, you're still a very valued member in here.

Reet - I'm not entirely sure what this next scan is all about, except that they mentioned 'making sure nothing else is wrong'. Then the Dr went on to contradict herself saying the chances are really slim, given that my Nuchal results were all low risk etc etc. I think they just like to jerk me around, lol. All the same I'm trying to look at the positives and enjoy a day on the road with DP instead of bored out of my mind at home, NOT doing the housework I should be doing. Apparently they aren't looking at bubby's feet or the placenta. I'm so bad at making big decisions, I still haven't done anything about the hospital... I'm just sitting on my hands for the time being and wondering what I should do. I'm still devastated about the no cake situation, lol.. yes. The other nibblies were um, not so fantastic and kind of just left out in the open for hours on end, so I stayed away from it. And of course every single adult at the party was drinking and chain smoking so let's just say I was a hit with the kiddies. LOL Soooo excited you're getting proper movements, yaaay! I know what you mean about the 'pushes'. My belly moves on its own now and I can see something moving around in there which I find very entertaining. Keep prodding, bubby will respond soon hehe. The disappearing bellybutton thing is also exciting, isn't it? I used to giggle every time I poked it, now the novelty has kind of worn off haha. Enjoy all the little changes, before long they'll be BIG changes! Apparently I am waddling according to DP which I find hilarious. Keep me posted on the movements and I'm still hanging out to see the latest belly pic!

Tegam - I definitely agree. On both points. Dory is right, and it does help to know I'm not the only one having a moment. LOL and it's true, there probably are enough of us in here that one or two of us can have a moment without the thread turning into a big pile of sooking women, lol. Glad you're feeling better, feel free to have your vent in here anytime, god knows I do!
