Ladies, our previous thread was getting full so here is a lovely new shiny home for us all.

I've put some comfy cushions around and plenty of pregnancy safe snacks and drinks. The Segway park is in the corner over there next to the stack of glittery vom buckets (plenty of extra buckets too for all the newbies).

In the corner over here you'll find our library of leaflets including sections on early pregnancy private scan clinics, pushchairs and car seats.

Hope you all like it very much :)

We're all a bit hungry then... Grin

jaggythistle · 13/09/2011 18:15

hi Jen :)

Biscuitsandtea · 13/09/2011 18:18

A bit hungry? I've just been helping DS with his tea, but more along the lines of 'do you mind if Mummy has a bit of your potato?' rather than 'are you OK getting the spaghetti on the fork?'

It was a big portion - I'm not really depriving him...

jaggythistle · 13/09/2011 18:20

I am ravenous! No chance of helping DS though as I am evening shift this week. I have stuffed my face and am still hungry. Think I will save some snacks for later though, i'm here till 10.

musicalmrs · 13/09/2011 18:52

Hurrah, a shiny new home!

Funny tummy and no appetite today, until just now when I smelt DH cooking sausages, and now I'm ravenous!

DH told his boss today about being PG, so it better stick now! She's got two children herself, and had been constantly nagging him about it - his work's quite demanding, but by telling her it ensured he not only has someone to talk to other than me (he gets on wonderfully with her) but that he'll be able to get to all the scans. So, good I suppose, but I can't help but worry!

Back to school tomorrow.. hoping the kids will distract me from all the mad worrying!

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 13/09/2011 18:53

Oooooo lovely new thread Biscuits!

I hope Deny finds us okay, I've been thinking about her all day! Soooooooo many scans this week! Biscuits are you the only 12 week one this week? (Please forgive my baby brain, but exactly which day is your scan again?)

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 13/09/2011 18:54

Mock cocktails! Yum! I'll have a sex on the beach thank you - yum!

MeconiumHappens · 13/09/2011 18:59

oooh swiiiit swooooo check out the new digs.

Biscuitsandtea · 13/09/2011 19:01

I know - I hope Deny finds us too - I went back to leave a pointer on the old thread but it was totally full up :( I even looked to see if I could delete my last post or something to make space for one to redirect everyone but couldn't.

Hope she's OK

It is indeed my 12 week scan this week - Friday is my day - eeek!

Biscuitsandtea · 13/09/2011 19:09

So, I'm just doing a scan audit as we have a lot of scans this week I think. Going from the stats thread I get the following:

Tuesday - Deny (moved from Thursday per earlier post) and Calypso (anyone heard from her in a while? Hope everything's ok if you're lurking).

Wednesday - Scarlet

Thursday - Nobody since Deny was moved

Friday - Biscuits

Saturday - Meme

I thought there were more of us this week?

Ooooh strawberry daiquiri mocktail yum. Thanks Biscuits and what a lovely new home you've made for us.

I'm another who's ravenous today. I had the shakes an our or so ago and couldn't eat my apple quick enough. I'm just about to make a spag bol and wishing I'd done it earlier.

Hope you've had a lovely scan Deny looking forward to hearing your update.

I'm getting very twitchy regarding mine tomorrow. Don't think I'll get any sleep tonight. EPU called me this afternoon to see if I could go today instead as they'd had cancellations. I said no as I was on my own with DS and there's no way DH could have made it back in time. I really don't want to go on my own for this one (or any of them).

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 13/09/2011 19:15

Me me me!! I'm on Sat (8 weeks). Sorry I forgot to add it into the stats thread when I booked it. Off to correct this oversight...

scarletfingernail · 13/09/2011 19:16

Scream is also having her 8 week scan on Saturday Biscuits

pommedechocolat · 13/09/2011 19:18

New thread! New thread!

Another one looking forward to deny update over here too. Good luck to everyone else getting scanned this week too.

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 13/09/2011 19:18

Sorry, x-posts Scarlet. Best of luck for tom, I'm sure it'll be absolutely fine. Brook No Argument!!

I don't blame you for sticking to the appt when your DH could make it - I wouldn't like to go on my own either. At the moment I cry every time the Cancer Research UK adverts come on! I dread to think what I'd be like faced with an actual emotional event!

scarletfingernail · 13/09/2011 19:20

I cried watching David Walliams finish his Thames swim on tv yesterday.

I am sooooo not like this normally.

Biscuitsandtea · 13/09/2011 19:20

I'd just remembered Scream too (mind you I had to go back through the old thread looking for exztra scans so not sure I really 'remembered' exactly - sorry Scream Blush

So that makes our list

Tuesday - Deny (moved from Thursday per earlier post) and Calypso (anyone heard from her in a while? Hope everything's ok if you're lurking).

Wednesday - Scarlet

Thursday - Nobody since Deny was moved

Friday - Biscuits

Saturday - Meme and Scream

Scarlet Don't blame you at all for not going on your own with DS - I'd try anything not to take DS to a scan - he could be great or he could be a nightmare. And that would be if DH was there too - I have no idea what he'd be up to with all those wires and me having to lay still - I think they'd have to restrain him or something Confused. Anyway you want DH there to hold your hand for sure (or if the layout is like where we had our 8 week scan, DH could only hold my foot but it was comforting nonetheless!)

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 13/09/2011 19:25

Don't worry about forgetting my scan Biscuits I had to ask about yours just a couple of posts ago! This babybrain is a nightmare! Grin

Loving the image of Mr Biscuits hanging onto a foot in a "comforting" way hee hee hee. I'm so ticklish that I'd be completely unable to lie still for the scan if anyone touched my feet!
