Just checking in, I too feel great affection for this thread, though I fully confess that I am crap at posting on it. I've looked at the May thread, but at this stage someone due on 2nd May still feels like they're miles ahead of me (new EDD 24th, with my first, and my mum went 2 weeks overdue with her first...). I also find it hard enough to keep up with this smaller group!
What awful news Crackers, you must be very stressed. I can't believe you have so much going on at once. Very sorry to see auntie and iowmum's sad news too, and that Dozeyland has such hard times ahead.
We had our scan on Tuesday, it was wonderful -- very wiggly baby, and excellent sonographer who talked us through every detail, including the 100% normal nuchal measurement. Our combined test results came through on Friday, and were very good, so we finally feel like it's all real. Told family yesterday, they were all really chuffed. Now I just have to brace myself and write to work...
I'm feeling so much more human suddenly -- it's like the last three months passed in a real fog. I am working effectively again, cleaning the house, going out now and again (!) and generally optimistic that it is possible to be pregnant and still do other things. No bump really yet, though my waist is not what it was. I've got a real clothes shortage right now but have no idea what best to buy.
Wishing everyone very well, I hope to be around more now. Until I got my letter on Friday, I somehow felt like it was tempting fate to be writing about this. I hadn't really let myself feel excited. Now I'm walking round like this
