    I'm still paranoid at times. I found myself walking to the car on Tuesday thinking through what I would do if I went into labour early or if the baby was stillborn. Why must I dwell on the negative (that's not going to happen!)??? Most of the time I'm planning for the best, but sometimes the negatives get me down. Maybe it's because so many of my friends have had happy, healthy babies this year and I keep waiting for something to go wrong - and it must be me I can't wait to just have this baby and bring it home!

    Sorry to bring the mood in here down, just don't have anywhere else to express that thought.

    S&S - Here's hoping for a BFP. Thankyou for updating, I still think of Obie and wonder how you are from time to time.

    Clairesmummy & Loops - I am so thrilled to see you both in here! I too hope the stay is long and boring for you. Congratulations, girls!

    AFM - Pretty dang chuffed to see my name still on the recent arrivals list. Axel is big and fat, and still terrorizing mummy all night long. What did I sign up for, lol! I'll sneak back out now since I'm not UTD. Just wanted to say hi.

    And of course hi to all the other lovelies I shared part of the journey to motherhood with. Much love to all!

    alish - congratulations on your little girl! Enjoy being a mommy.

    Clairesmummy - Congrats on the great scan. How are you doing now? Did you get the results for the test of that bump on your neck?

    S&S - I am really glad to see you here, I followed your story when you were expecting Obie because we are from the same age group of "oldies". I was very sad when he passed away, and sad for you that your dream ended like that. I am glad that you are not giving up and trying again. I think we may be from the same area, I am in the Philadelphia suburbs. Keeping my fingers crossed for your blasties, when will you know the results? And do not worry about your age, there were quite a few ladies in their 40s on this forum with success stories.

    Thanks for the lovely wishes for today ladies

    Scan today was good, exciting but I was so nervous going in. bub is measuring only 6wks 1 day, a little stressed over it because I thought I was further along but then again my cycles can be long and get up to 36days so it is hard to know. I also have a friend that went in for a scan when she thought she was 10 weeks and the same sonographer (or whatever they are lol) told her it only looked like 8 weeks and she has gone on a lot further now. We saw the tiny flicker of the heart beat and it was at about 115 to 120 BPM.

    Ive changed my sig - dated it back a little.
    Wannabemum ~ I feel exactly the same - trying so hard to be positive but some people that have easy pregnancies etc just dont understand - its near impossible to not be worried. I just pray and FX'd for you that all goes well - one day at a time

    Forshelby ~ thanks hun and congratulations on your little bundle of joy - or should I say healthy little chubba bub

    Thanks Loops and angel - it just helps to know you're not on your own sometimes you know?

    Loops, I'm glad you got to see a little heartbeat - how awesome is that! Even if you aren't as far along as you thought, that heartbeat is an awesome sign It may feel a long time until a 12 week scan. If you get nervous in the meantime, my Ob said to me (when I requested a "paranoid Mummy scan") "There is no reason you can't have one every week if it helps your stress levels". So don't be afraid to ask if you want another in a few weeks! I think we all did It's nice to see bubba growing well.

    This little one's certainly keeping me in the loop as to what it's up to - so much movement! A little dancer is on the way
