Freak - I meant to say about descaling your taps. Put cotton wool soaked in vinegar on the offending bits. If it's the 'mouths' of the taps that are bad then sort of mould the cotton wool over the end and secure with a rubber band. Works really well!

Scan went very well, i actually feel excitement about the pregnancy now (probably because i am not feeling poorly) I feel it is a boy (would love another girl though) and DH thinks it is a boy from the scan (being a vet he uses ultrasound everyday, so can read them easier) We had the Nuchal scan and the result was very good. The upper end of normal is 3.6 and ours was 1.4mm so feeling a lot less stressed about that (my sister has DS so it was more of a concern)
