Reet - Starting to get excited now.. hehe. I'm hoping I have the energy to get up and make him breakfast before he goes off to work most days, and just do other nice things too. I don't know about washing the car.... it's too high for me to reach the roof and I don't want to be balancing on stools! I'm sure he won't mind sharing money with me (we basically pool everything now anyway) but I'm so used to having my own little stash of cash after bills are paid etc. I'm sure I'll get past it though. LOL@ your kangaroo pebbles... hahahaha. I can't say I've experienced any constipation yet.... I wonder if that's a bad thing? So glad you made a ticker, too. Very cute.

Kellie - My next scan is on the 2nd of September. Not long to go now... yay. I haven't heard anything about a going away party, but honestly I don't want one. It'll just make me all emotional lol. I did notice the boss was acting suspiciously yesterday though, walking around with coins jingling, then going back to his office, then visiting someone else, more jingling coins, then back to his office..... he didn't come to see me at all, so I can only assume they're getting a card or some kind of small parting gift. I don't mind if nothing happens though, I'm really not phased at all. So glad your DD is back to her cheeky self. What a relief that must be. To answer your question, I think 6 weeks should be ok for a scan, but you may not see a hb. Try to prepare yourself for that and not have a mini-freakout..... it's hard, I know, but just remember bubs is still so tiny.

Clairesmummy - I stand by my prediction. Your friend is trying to tell you it won't be long until you're handed your little bundle. If this month is not your BFP month, then my bet is on next month.

Mum22 - It's not the depth of colour in the line, a line is a line! Don't worry about how dark it is etc, you'll drive yourself crazy! Try to think positive thoughts.

Melster - Get your neck checked out!!! My sister had a problem with the nerves being compressed in her neck, causing a lump like you described (and bad headaches). The doctors called it (excuse my spelling) Ocipital Neuralgia. She said she woke up in the night with a headache so bad it felt like her head was exploding, and she was involuntarily screaming in agony. Sorry if I'm freaking you out, but seriously, see a doctor. And get a REALLY GOOD pillow. I have neck problems too and it causes a lot of my headaches. You don't want it to get as bad as my sister... Oh the horror. About your other symptoms though, they sound good... FX for you!

Stoked - Sorry about the BFN. Great positive attitude though

Dory - Thanks for the advice, that's what DP says too. I'm going into full-time incubation, and it's an important job. I don't know if it's ego or what, but I find my earning power is strongly tied into my self-worth. I need to fix up that inaccurate perception though. I guess I just don't want to feel like a burden. It'll take time. And YAY for 10 weeks. I'm glad the crampiness is normal, and it is around the hip area. Today I had a few stabbing pains in one hip but it passed very quickly, so I'm not stressing. It just feels like things are stretching and when I walk I get a slight pulling sensation in my groin/lower pelvic area. All seems normal to me so far. Only 36 days to go for you, hun.... how exciting. You are bringing this baby home. I repeat: YOU ARE BRINGING THIS BABY HOME. I can't imagine the worry you must be feeling thinking it's happening again, but please try to take comfort in the fact that you've gotten further than ever before. You're doing everything right, and you're being closely monitored. I'm sure baby is just finding it a bit cramped and squishy in there with all the growing he/she's been doing! It's ok to feel a bit down, and you can come in here and have a whinge ANYTIME. We all have our moments. You've been such an inspiration to me, and so many others, I just wanted to offer you some comfort in this scary time. You can do this!!

Iona - Great that you finally got a decent meal in! I hope your symptoms ease soon and you can enjoy yourself a bit more.

Loops - FX this is it!

AFM, 2 more days to go.... EEEEEP. I just want it to be over with! The waiting and knowing I'm not going to be working there anymore is killing me! On the up side, everyone is asking me to bake them various treats and come and visit so that'll be really nice. (I love baking and making sweet treats) I'm not really leaving, just stopping work there! In pg related news (lol) I've been waking up at exactly 2.30 every morning for the last few days just BUSTING to pee. I mean so busting it hurts. That can only be a good sign.... I never normally have to get up through the night to pee.

I can't think of anything else remotely interesting to share... all is going well as far as I'm concerned. Have a great night everyone!
