Helen - I am so happy to hear your scan went so well today! And yay for the cervix I would totally understand you getting nervous sooner than your next scan. I was the one who pushed my ob to let me have my last scan at 21 weeks, only 2 weeks after my morphology one and that was due to how fast things happened last time around and I wanted to check on my cervix at the same gestation as when Luke was lost. So, will your next scan work in to be roughly the same with you? It might help ease your mind if you can time it that way (or a few days before)?

Where is Laney? I am getting worried now. Hope you are just busy being happy and that you can update us soon.

Paula - you are so not being a "cow" debating the gender issue. I know that next time (gosh, if I can bring myself to go through this stress again) we would be hoping for a boy - (a) because it would be nice to have one of each grow up together, and (b) I would hate to think that Luke might be our only son. I can't really explain that too well but hopefully you know what I mean. Of course you will love each child no matter what gender they turn out to be but at the same time I don't think we have to justify our feelings about this just because we have lost a child. Those who haven't get to debate the issue and openly admit to wanting a particular gender and we can too. I think though that we will all (or currently do) cherish our little ones just a little more than those who have never walked in our shoes if that makes sense. Gee hope that hasn't sounded offensive to anyone as I didn't mean it like that

Theresa I am sorry I didn't congratulate you in my last post on your engagement! So, CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a great start to your year and hopefully the first of much happiness to come your way as the year goes on.

Diana - yay for the 15 days pg. All this talk of doing the deed - can't remember the last time DH and I got jiggy! We were watching something on tv last night and a sexy scene came on and I looked at DH and said "maybe someday we will get to do that again". Sigh...so you girls TTC, go for it!!

Sending a massive hello to everyone else and sorry to those I missed. I am sitting up to type this which is a change and my back is now killing me. I'll be back tomorrow to let you all know how my u/s goes.
