Hello all,
Knax, so pleased with your news hun!! You can start to relax a little now and enjoy things. Although if you're anything like me, you'll still worry a bit, but I think everyone does!! Sounds like things are definitely moving in the right direction though - yay!! [hgrin]
DD, it is a bit of a nightmare at the moment but I'm starting to feel a bit calmer about things now. There's nothing that I can do so I just need to wait. I phoned ARC aswell and they were brilliant. Said that any time I didn't feel that I was getting the support from DH, to call them and talk through how I was feeling. It's a real comfort to know that all you girls, my family and ARC are there to help me through. Good luck on the OPKs hun!!
BSL, thanks for all your thoughts hun. Having gone through the CVS, I just feel that I need to get over that trauma before I go headlong into another one!! Good news for you though at the docs, that's brilliant. Hope your DH is Ok. I would imagine that all this is a little overwhelming!!
Mandy, as always, thank you for your continued support. I'm actually feeling quite positive at the moment and know that I will be busy over the next few weeks, so even though I think about it constantly, it doesn't seem such a sharp pain at the moment, more of a dull feeling in the back of my mind. Hopefully I can keep it there until we move house and get settled in and then focus again.
Dawni, you do make me laugh. Luckily I work from home - so it's only the dog that I have to hide things from. Well, she'd get very jealous if she knew we were having a baby I'm sure!!
Ceebee, hope Sam is still doing well - bless his little cottons!!
Juanitad, thanks for your thoughts. Hope Patrick is Ok today. Assuming that you had snow then, everyone enjoying it? We never get it down here - it has started raining quite heavily though and DH has just taken the dog out - ooops!!
Majormoo, thanks for the suggestion about the private scan hun, but we've decided I think just to wait for the amnio. I'm 14 weeks next Wednesday and we're really busy with moving house, Xmas and busy at work, so hopefully it won't feel too long....
Hi to HC, MJIM and CE, hope I haven't missed anyone.
So, I just called the hospital after we've decided definitely to go for the Amnio. They're going to call back with some available dates and we're going to try and go for the week between Xmas and New Year when I'll be 16-17 weeks. They did say that I'd be lucky to get the results in two days because of it being the holiday period and may have to wait until 5th January, but if I know up front, at least I can be prepared for that.
I had a visit from two of my sisters today with my two nieces. It was really lovely. They bought me lunch AND a big box of chocolates. They then Oohed and Aaahed over my bump and the scan pics. Everyone's convinced that our little Jellybean is going to be Ok so I'm clinging onto that at the moment. They told me that I have a very neat bump - which every pregnant woman likes to hear I'm sure!!
After months of organising, it's my Dad's surprise 60th birthday party tomorrow night. My DH works in the photographic industry and has created some brilliant posters to go up at the party with my Dad shaking Winston Churchill's hand and my Dad's head on Prince Phillip's body next to the Queen. Hilarious!!
Wish me luck for tomorrow. I'm going out with him tonight and just hope I don't drop myself in it so that he guesses about his party!!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!
