Gosh it's been chatastic here since I was last on! Sorry for not coming back after the blood test on Weds, I've been having probs with wireless connection.
Well, as I said, the scan seemed to go ok. I was sobbing so much when they found the hb that the sonographer had to stop for five mins. It was a long scan as we opted for the nuchal test but she couldn't get baby into position so she was prodding and poking for a good 20 mins. My measurements were large so she's put my due date forward by a week (to the 10th of March) but, as we were using opks, I think this is wrong. She said to talk to my midwife, apparently if you've been pg within 3 months of the scan they will only date you based on the scan, not on your LMP or OV date. I'm hoping to persuade my midwife to change it as I do NOT want to be induced because my dates were wrong.
We've only told a few close family. I don't feel the excitement I had after the 12 week scan with dd, I'm very conscious that things could still go wrong. Haven't posted anything on facebook as I vowed I wouldn't after my friend posted her scan pic the day of my erpc.
Still have my head in the sand even though our odds are so much better. I guess that's how it's going to be now, the worry will never go (yes MissG it was my DH who said it was wasted energy!). You don't think it'll happen to you but when it has, you start to think that everything could happen to you, iyswim? Now I'm worrying about the nuchal results (as I know someone who aborted a downs baby) and the 20 week scan (I also know someone who was induced after the 20 week scan as the baby had defects that meant it wouldn't live outside the womb, it was so sad).
Anyway, we're one step further on and I feel much more positive and less metal than I have for a long time 
MissG and Manda the prawnaholics, you two need to eat prawns until you're (literally) sick of them, that'll sort you both out. I have a confession, I went to the chinese restaurant opposite the gym for lunch. Chili beef and rice, yum. Rather excessive, not going to tell DH. Especially given they weighed me at the hospital and I've put on nearly a stone already, this isn't boding well...
MissG hadn't heard your ectopic story before. It was very sad, you've been through so much, really hoping that things are on the up now. Sorry the lasagne was disappointing, you should have sneaked a few prawns in your handbag. Important to remember to take the ones you haven't eaten out again... urrrggh !
Manda fab news! Do you still think it's a girl? I pretty sure this one's a boy and the mc one was a girl. Funny how we have these instincts. Were you right before?
Baby glad AF seems to be appearing and you're feeling better. For me, AF made me feel more positive as I felt like we could start to do something proactive to get things back on track. It must be hard for you in some ways because we're all a bit further on (i.e our mcs happened months before yours) so it may seem that we've moved on from the grief. We've all been there though and the grief never truly abates, so we totally understand where you're coming from and are here to support as best we can 
Oh and Happy Birthday for the weekend!!!
IQ oh dear, crutches, that doesn't sound good. Do you know what's causing it? Can it be sorted? Is your sis there to help? Will be lurking tomorrow to hear your news, all the very best of luck, will be thinking of you.
Zebra very jel of your trip. Never been to Japan but I'd love to go (I bloody love good sushi but can't get it since I moved out of London; that's not the only reason I'd like to go though, seem to have food on my mind all the time at the moment!). I love NY, have been a few times. Will you have time for shopping? Before we had dd, DH and I saved and went away for a week to Chicago (our fav US city), we explored, shopped, ate at amazing restaurants, stayed in a gorgeous hotel, it was brilliant. Now that we have dd I always think of that trip as something we won't do again until we retire. Not that I'd swap dd for anything, obviously
Summer dd is 25 months, a great age IMO. Lots of talking (ish), knows her own mind, a real little person and definitely not a baby anymore. So cute!
Poppy Happy Birthday for tomorrow! The big 3-0 eh, that deserves some celebrating. Enjoy it! My b'day is next week, the big 3-5, eeek! All these September birthdays eh? We know what our parents were up to at Christmas 
Peps hope you get something from the doctor that doesn't interfere with your trip. Let us know how it goes.
Pie I loved your poo story, I hate taking dd's nappy off, she wee'd up the side of the washing basket last night. It's the way she looks down in an innocent "well look at that! there seems to be something coming out" sort of way. Bless 'em!
So, who've I missed? I'm bound to have missed someone. Hello to whoever I've missed! It's Friday so time for chocolate passes round prawn-flavoured Dairy Milk
