Thank you all so much for all the lovely messages of support today, I really appreciate it. Apologies in advance for the rubbish post, the nausea is back with a vengeance this evening. I blame DH - I really wanted McDonalds for dinner (most unlike me normally) but he said no, although agreed to fish and chips, which it turns out my body REALLY did not appreciate. Bleargh! Though weirdly still think Maccy D's would have gone down ok....
So the scan was good. They've put my dates forward again, they said the baby was measuring 12+1 today, though I'm pretty sure that's impossible as surely that would mean conception occured on the wednesday, and unless it was an immaculate conception....! Little one was waving its arms at us and looked like it was sratching his head, did a few body pops too, was just showing off I reckon 
But all in all looked very different from the nuchal with DS (who we went on to lose) and much more similar to DD whose pregnancy was absolutely textbook. So while I won't be properly reassured until we have the blood results, (and I'm not feeling up to joining the list until after that point either) it was definitely a massive step in the right direction.
Ffnorm that's great about your family! Altough 
is definitely the appropriate emoticon regarding your step mum! some people.... Will be telling my parents once we get the blood results, whichever way it goes. Have been putting it off due to a slightly sticky relationship with my mother - a) she doesn't handle stress well, v bad psoriosis (sp?) b) I'm not at all sure she'll be pleased, she frequently tells me that anyone who has a smaller age gap than she did with me and my sister must be MAD, and c) it's due the day they're booked to go on a 17 night cruise of the mediterranean which has been booked for about 150 years (ish) and I have a horrible feeling she'll think I've done it on purpose! Oh dear...
Miniangel am very 
about your sonographer! I bet they were just in a hurry and looking for an excuse to fob you off rather than trying to get the baby to move/waiting for it to get into the right position. A size 14 is NOT fat!! Ridiculous!! Hopefully you'll have someone more professional and more patient on 7th - at least you get to have an extra peek at the baby!
Mrskitchen what a lovely DH! You can send him round here to do some cleaning too if you like 
. Re the weight gain, turns out I've put on about 5lbs, frankly I was expecting double that so good excuse to eat more cake then!
Kayzr hope you feel better soon, you really have been having a rough time of it 
. I had a horrible cough at about 6 weeks and in desperation I took some of DD's calpol as the only active ingredient is paracetamol so I think (hope) it's ok. I just needed something to coat my throat, it was so sore and you can't get that from a paracetamol. Just a thought in case it appeals.
Changing the subject totally, has anyone had any procedures on their cervix before? I had to have a Lletz procedure (like lasering) after a dodgy smear just over a year ago. I'm paranoid I'll need a stitch to keeep it from opening too early, so my lovely consultant has offered me another scan at 16 weeks to check the length of my cervix.... or is it just me???
Sorry not to catch up with everyone. Got. To. Go. To. Bed. Urgh.
Night all
