Wibble wobble wibble wobble jelly on a plate!! 
Feeling all excited and nervous at the same time. Scan is later this afternoon. I'm fully expecting bean to still be there and alive (saw hb at 9 weeks and bleeding has settled since then, so odds definitely in my favour), so I hope I don't get a massive disappointment... and like Dachs am more concerned whether they will identify any problems with the nuchal fold. It's strange, I'm wibbling, but I have to say, I found the early scans were far more nerve-wracking, so I feel for you Mattsmama and anyone else with a scan coming up soon. Good luck to all of us, and thanks to all of you who are thinking of us and sending good luck vibes.
Knitter that's quite early for your anomaly bloods - but sounds as if they put it all together with the scan and give you a result there and then, whereas I have a bit more waiting and mentalling ...
Lara and Orange - nom nom nom Scotch eggs.. might have to nip out and buy one for lunch. Lara - I'm sure the sonographer knows nothing that you don't! It's just not possible to be reassured so early, unfortunately, we just all have to wait and wait for that first scan and keep ticking off the days, and keep our fingers crossed. Please don't stress too much about lack of symptoms. I've been looking back, and I had no symptoms at all until 6 weeks, and even then, only slight nausea. Definitely no sore boobs at any time at all, and the frequent weeing has only started in the last couple of weeks.
Owl - at the knitted thong. I remember when I was little and my mum had crocheted a "willy-warmer" for my dad (this was the 70s..!) and I found it in the laundry pile and started using it as a dolly's sleeping bag.
katherine - congratulations on a lovely scan!! And due date is cool too - imagine having that as a birthday!
teacake - bless you, you are not crazy/mean/unreasonable. I've had many people who are pregnant around me during the last few months, and I've continued as normal with some, and avoided others. It's simply self-preservations. Some people I trust not to say the wrong thing, nor interpret what I say in the wrong way, some people I don't trust quite as much. I might be doing them an injustice, but I've not risked it.
Collie - I'm sorry, I also think your stork is a grey heron, but a lovely sighting and photo nonetheless. And they look pretty similar to storks, so it can still count as a good omen! I didn't think we had storks in this country, hence me asking where you lived - I thought it might be somewhere exotic! I don't know if you want to consider asking MN to delete your post though, as the link breaches your confidentiality?
kat - I agree with pink - I'd aim for 7 weeks if you can. Technically, a heartbeat can usually be seen from 6 weeks, but if your dates are a bit out, you might not see what you want and it might just increase your stress. Also, at 7 weeks, they might look with an abdominal US first - I am by no means slim (size 12-14ish) but they could see bean and hb at 7 weeks via the tummy and I avoided the fanjocam.
Pink wouldn't worry about a bit of blood in vomit - from my student days I recall someone vomiting loads then vomiting blood and they said it was a torn/irritated oesophagus, and it got better by itself. Oooh I've just seen you have a scan too - good luck!
Cep - poor you with the horrid dreams ... it DOES get better, in my experience. You still get anxiety dreams, but their content is more obviously dream-like and unrealistic, iyswim, so it's easier to switch to reality when you wake.
Happy Wednesday to all - will be back at teatime to update (have to rush from scannage to school before coming home and 
don't have a smartphone!)
