How are things with you Count? When is your measuring scan? How are you doing now Moo? Any sign the sickness is going?! How many weeks are you now btw?
Lil, we told my mum, dad and sister straight away. I told my best friend at 8 weeks (she has just told me she is also pregnant, a month behind me! This is great esp as she'd been TTC for more than 6 months). We told DPs best friends (a married couple) on Saturday. No one else knows yet. DPs parents are frail and elderly and were infertile (he is adopted) so we want to be reasonably sure all is well before telling them. His mother never got over not having biological children so it has to be handled with care. How was Monday? Equally tiring for you? Hopefully once you are back in the routine it'll sort itself out. The start of term is always manic anyway, I've been staying behind school for 2.5 hrs every night but hopefully that'll ease off.
Festie! I just read the latest Update on the bp saga, what a pain in the arse! They really need to do some joined up thinking on this one. It's not fair on your other children apart from anything else as well as wasting massive amounts of your time. I do like the sound of the midwife though, hope she does some fighting on your behalf!
All ok with me. DPs friends were delighted with our news and even better have a loft full of stuff to pass on. They were very supportive after the mc and it's lovely they are so thrilled.
Work is manic but I'm quite enjoying it actually. I still haven't had a call from the hospital and the sonographer said if we were higher risk for Downs we would have heard within 2 to 3 days. I make it 3 working days since the scan so hopefully all is well.
Only annoying thing is that South African woman I told you all about before - she struck again! Argh! This is the fourth time I feel she's invaded my privacy (apparently TTC is an acceptable topic of conversation for someone you barely know). We never did find out who told her we were TTC...anyway. We were all at the beach on Sunday. I didn't know she'd be there. I had my response planned for if she asked again about TTC BUT I hadn't planned for a congratulations...it totally blindsided me so I didn't say erm, what do you mean or anything, I just said thank you...she mustve guessed as I am showing really, especially in a bikini. Anyway, mega annoying and invasive, especially as not all our family know yet. She's not malicious, my DP says she's just a bit, ahem, thick and doesn't realise how potentially upsetting her comments can be. She'd just better keep her bloody mouth shut or I will say something rude...
Rus, how's the cyst and have you had Peanut yet? Hope it's all going swimmingly.
