Hey all,

Woo hoo hit the 16 week mark today so only 4 more days until the dreaded amnio (and another 4 weeks until half way ). I will be talking to the dr about how they used the wrong date for the maths of the test and I'm hoping they will recalculate and also I want them to do a quick scan first and see if they can find any abnormalities. If they can't find any then I don't see the point in testing for trisomy 13 or 18 as they both have gross abnormalities. Will kick my gp in the shin for scaring me so badly though DF is taking some time off to come with me and drive me home as well so I don't have to exert myself.

Leigh - Meara just gets really stubborn and doesn't do as she is told although yesterday she undid the gate and ran out on the road and nearly got hit by a truck Luckily a friend of DF's is staying with us and he got to her in time otherwise we would have had one dead bubba. It really was that close. I could have sworn she was out the back garden but our side gate hasn't been locked and I think she went out that way cause she didn't come through the house.

CW - glad the bloods came back normal and ouchies for the varicose veins. Hope they settle down. Is there anything you can do to make it easier to yourself???? You must be 29 weeks now so yay only 11 more to go.

My granddad turned 90 yesterday and we are going to have a party for him tomorrow. I have bought him a 25yo bottle of single malt scotch. OMG do you realise how expensive they are. I paid nearly $200 for the bottle. I was going to buy him a 90yo bottle but ...forget it. It would have cost thousands

Hope everyone is doing well and we all have a good weekend
