So here’s part 2 (which is crazy to me)

There isn’t really an update as such I should hear today or tomorrow regarding a scan. I’ve got the MW again on Thursday and I suppose this week will be the week of grand reveals.

I’m sorry if I disappear for a day at a time I’m still trying to wrap my own head around this.

Congrats op glad everything is ok xx

GimmeAy · 13/06/2020 14:58

When they're meant to be, they're meant to be. You've 9 weeks to adjust. Loads of time! I found 9 months way too long lol (and dd was 10 days early). So look on it as a positive that you'll be so busy now for the next 9 weeks, that you won't have all the usual worries.

smilingontheinside · 13/06/2020 14:59

So good to know you have support and thank you for thd update. Some of us are genuinely interested and believe you (especially sad old sods like me on lockdown who are losing the will 😕) and am thinking that fate had a funny way of sorting things 😉

Tavannach · 13/06/2020 15:04

I'm glad it's going well.
I can't remember if you're self-employed, but if not you should let your employer know the circumstances as well ASAP.

Glad all went well.

Much love to you over the next nine weeks as you adjust - you sound incredibly resilient.

Perhaps you can update us in August?

Tessabelle1 · 13/06/2020 15:26

That's great news @Ohshitx glad all is well. 99.9% of people are here with support but I can understand why that minority would get to you. Don't feel any pressure to update a page full of strangers. Good luck with everything Flowers

GiantKitten · 13/06/2020 15:32

Another delurker here, delighted with latest update & that all is well with the baby.

Congratulations Op 🌼. Glad the scan went well.

PennyRoyal · 13/06/2020 15:36

Glad the scan went well and things are getting clearer and sorted. In just 9weeks you'll have a your beautiful baby! Have you told your DC they are going to have a little brother/sister?
Wishing you all the very best ThanksThanks

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 13/06/2020 15:50

Great news! Wishing you all the best for August xx

LoafingLiz · 13/06/2020 15:50

Good news about the scan.

You should jump onto the baby threads now instead for support. (And name change or you'll be hounded for updates).

Louisa111 · 13/06/2020 15:50

Ohh wow!! I've just caught up from the previous thread. Massive congratulations, a huge shock bug a nice oneSmile. Wish you lots of luck xx

Nearlyshitmypantsthere · 13/06/2020 15:52

Great news 💐 @Ohshitx , everything will work out in the end ❤ take care x

Sweetooth92 · 13/06/2020 15:54

I’m so glad the father has taken it okay and you have him and your mum for support now,

I am sorry you have a few people on here giving you a hard time-it’s not necessary and you seem nothing but genuine to me ❤️ Enjoy the next few months. The baby days fly past. My five month old seems to be getting so big so quickly and I miss those distant tiny baby days terribly

1fluffydoodle · 13/06/2020 15:58

Wonderful news , a summer baby.
Congratulations, as you say take it a day at a time 💕
You're going to have the quickest pregnancy, none of the usual counting months on end....
Ignore the negative people, they really aren't worth bothering about....

Ninkanink · 13/06/2020 16:00

Wishing you all well. But especially you. 💐

And big congratulations!

84claire84 · 13/06/2020 16:22

Knackers to all the haters. You have all us supporters.

You've got this OP and everything happens for a reason. If you don't update us again, please take care and enjoy your little bundle of loveliness. Xx

aibutohavethisusername · 13/06/2020 16:48

Sorry the idiots have made you feel this way. Glad to hear that all went well with the scan and that you were able to tell your Mum too.

rainbowstardrops · 13/06/2020 16:50

Sod the trolls, they're obviously bored.
I'm so glad the scan went well and you've told your mum and FWB. Good luck for August!!!! Thanks

BertieBotts · 13/06/2020 16:56

How exciting :) Glad scan went well. BTW if you have a late August baby (I have one) be aware that it will actually be autumn by the time you emerge from the newborn bubble. I had bought loads of summer stuff thinking I'd have this huge need to keep the baby cool and actually didn't use most of it because it was almost immediately autumn and we needed warmer stuff.

FourPlasticRings · 13/06/2020 17:27

Congratulations, OP! I wouldn't blame you for not starting another thread and don't think I would either in your shoes, so before the thread fills entirely, I just want to say good luck. You're doing amazingly well and your baby is lucky to have you.

All the best x

seven201 · 13/06/2020 17:34

Well done on telling the father and great to have the scan done. Please don't feel you ever need to come back to this thread unless you want to. You need to do what's right for you. Good luck for the future x

TiddlestheCat · 13/06/2020 17:35

Great news. And well done telling your Mum too. Nine weeks is still a fair amount of time to get used to the idea. After all, you've already processed a lot in these last two weeks!

Sipperskipper · 13/06/2020 17:35

So glad scan was OK OP. Hope you can start to feel excited / enjoy getting ready for your new baby.

I'm also due DC2 in August, so here if you want to chat!

uncomfortablydumb53 · 13/06/2020 17:59

I'm so glad the scan went well, and you are adjusting
Wishing you luck and love
