We are jolly well going to get and stay diffed this month and we are BROOKING NO ARGUMENT.

Thinking of you this morning imps, looking forward to hearing lots of lovely news from you later - with photos!!!

beedle sorry about the dreams, it's odd the bizarre things our minds get up to when we give them free rein. I've only had one like that so far, I dreamed I gave birth prematurely to a girl and we called her Lucretia FGS!!!

imps good luck with the scan today

Another dream about the baby last night, it was definitely a boy this time but his Twin was still inside me and I was at the 20 week scan to check it was ok And again my poor baby had no clothes, only a nappy. I Think my subconcious mind is trying to tell me to start buying stuff for the baby :o

That's right geek enjoy it, you deserve it! Have you told all your families? What about dh's kids? I hope they are suitably excited

I think I look obviously pregnant now! Though no one gave me a seat on the bus today

beedle with kip I ummed and ah'd about what it was for weeks until dh could feel it too at 20wks! It's hard to know what it is. I thought it was feeling my heart beat every now and then. But I honestly have no idea how some women get through the whole of pregnancy without realising, the kicks get pretty bloody obvious!

Alcohol-free beer is pants imps! The best I tried was Estrella Blue, all the others were too malty.

MrG bought a good alc-free red and white wine a couple of months ago - I haven't drunk alcohol in a couple of years, but they tasted like real wine when I had a glass. I can't remember what brand it was, I think it was something German?

beedle, imps' kicks started out feeling like wind then went quiet for a little while, I am sure you'll be feeling things again very soon!

My work's grapevine is starting to do its job now, though I did get to tell three people myself today which felt nice. One of them was someone who has known about some of my previous losses so really appreciated my history. I'm doing my best to get excited now - it will be the only time I get this experience, so I want to enjoy the next 28 weeks and not look back and feel I wasted them worrying.

Fab news geek so pleased

I haven't really felt anything obvious, it probably was just wind the other day!

Oh geek that's wonderful!!!! Congratulations!!! Will you be telling people now?
Hope you celebrate tonight!

Someone brought me a bottle of non alc wine to our BBQ on Sunday. I had been really wanting a glass of cold white. It wasn't too bad...

I'm the same imps wish I had a vocation. Tbh I am not using my talents/at the moment, it's a bit depressing, but not too long till m/l and I'll sort it out later

1030 is good, not too long to wait

My next mw appt is at 25wks, would be at 24 but I'm away... Seeing consultant at 28 (when I also get anti D) but I'm assuming if anything terrible shows on my heart trace they would be in touch before then... Am hoping that'll be my last appt at the hospital, the waits are dreadful!

Have you felt any more kicks beedle? :)

Scan pic!

Good luck for tomorrow Imps, and for your scan next week Beedle. It's perfectly normal to worry before the scan Imps but all will be well, you're doing great my lovely.

I've pretty much switched off from caring about work too, though part of that might be that my job has changed so much from when it was fun and I enjoyed it. Everything seems so insignificant and unimportant now!

trix not long now lovely, you'll soon be off those pesky pills. I took my last pill/injection/bum bullet last Friday. It feels good, but weird, like I've forgotten to do something each day. When's your next scan booked for?

Bah to the wanky client, five times in twelve minutes?! Honestly!

It was my 12 week scan today keep and all is well - though Geekling is proving an uncooperative little bugger and I was made to prance up and down stairs like an extra out of Fantasia. S/he also had a really bad case of hiccups for the entire duration of the scan, which made us both laugh lots. NT scan measurements were fine (2.0 from memory) and CRL from what they could measure (did I say s/he was being uncooperative?) was a day ahead of my IVF dates.

I feel the same imps but in fact it's worse post m/l because I don't want to do any job where the hours are bad, so it limits my options a lot

Ooh scan day tomorrow. Good luck! It's scary but a long vely long scan. Are you going to find out the sex? What time is it?

trix coming off the drugs will be fab I hope you start to feel better then

geek is it your official 12 week scan soon?...

loopy hope you had a lovely half term with your boys.

Mine's wednesday next week, so not too much longer to wait. I'm brooking that Everything is fine with B-B tomorrow. I'm not really anxious yet, but obviously still half expecting that something will be wrong

I'm nicely relaxed after a long weekend :o

I dreamt about the baby last night, I'm not sure if it was a boy or a girl, but I was worried that I hadn't bought it anything. And my boss was trying to get me to come back to work a week after giving birth!

trix we had a mini-heatwave last week, nice but my journeys home were really warm and sweaty.

imps is it your scan on Friday?

Urgh I hate people like that imps wouldnt work be nicer without them!
It was stifling in my office today, it's a small place so opening the front door and putting a couple of fans on is the extent of our 'air conditioning'
I'm 10wks now which means I can start weaning off the pred in 2wks I cannot wait! I really hope my appetite quickly returns to normal I've never been so hungry and I'm sure it wasn't this bad when I was on the pres previously.
loopy how are you? Feeling more positive I hope.

Yeah course it is imps, depends which part he's kicking how much you'll feel it. I've read you should only start monitoring kicks from 25+ weeks

beedle how did I miss you're getting kicks?! Oh yay lovely, amazing milestone :)

Yay for an 8am lie in imps!

I'm so jealous of all your casual dress codes, my office insists on formal office attire so ebay is currently my friend. Luckily I can still get away with some of my pre-pg work jackets though my norks have outgrown at least two

keep sorry your appointment was a waste of time, I hope your results come back all clear.

I have learned three things today:

1 - Sea bands don't work, despite their extortionate price.

2 - Sick bags can leak.

3 - Midwives don't always want your wee.

I think it was number 3 that shocked me most

Ooh jealous of 8am wake up imps! Enjoy your day off in the sunshine

Ooh beedle they will be teeny kicks, how lovely

Well unsurprisingly my appointment was a waste of time as the ECG wasn't back. I'll see them again at 28 weeks for my anti d anyway. If there's a problem when it is reported I guess they'll ring. Grr
