Ginger - Love the gender graphics! Thanks!
DarkStar - its a good feeling to hit that milestone - both my losses were before 7 weeks and I remember feeling so relieved making it past that date - to me it seemed more important than getting to 12 weeks. So pleased for you
AFM - 12 week scan in 2 days! will actually be 13 weeks but close enough
I can't wait to see bubs - this SPD is making me so miserable it will be nice to actually feel positive about this pregnancy. I had the biggest meltdown/panic attack yesterday - the thought of being like this (or worse) for the next 6 months + is just horrible. DH is struggling - he is working full time and having to do all the housework on top of it, and by the time he gets home I am in agony and need to lay down - plus being in pain all the time is making me an utter grump - which makes me feel guilty & its just a horrid circle going round and round. I want this baby so much but I am just miserable

CrazyMumma that must be so hard hun xxx
Thanks tally. I have spent the last 4 hours on the phone trying to find some help but it seems we are on our own. Its not accident related so cannot get home help through ACC, and its not a permanent disability so there i s no help through the ministry. it seems silly that if i fall and hurt my hip i can get help - but because my hips are hurt as a result of pregnancy its tough shit!

I am seeing a physio and chiropractor. I have to pay privately - and I can't afford to go as much as I actually need to
DH is employed as a Teacher of the Deaf and his pay goes through the Ministrys payroll. They have started him on the untrained rate (as its his first teaching job) which is at least 15,000 per year less than what he should be on. Its almost been a full term and they still have not sorted their crap out - so our budget has taken quite a hit. The backpay will be nice when they finally do sort it - but surviving in the mean time is hard

Charmed sorry about your loss.
Ginger lovely scan pic!
Darkstar, congratulations! I can relate. We never make it to the nauchal translucency scan and that appointment is this week. I've lost my breast tenderness and only have hunger pangs now which could be from the progesterone injections I'm on. Hoping beyond all hope that this baby is alive and healthy on Friday. Our chromosomal testing results come back Friday too. A big day for our family.

As of today, this is my longest surviving pregnancy
Congrats!!! That's an awesome accomplishment.
Yes, they are so cute! I can't wait to find out! 3 more weeks
I wonder who will be the first to find out! It's spring break here, so there's no one in the office but me. I have to come in order to save my time for maternity leave. It's going to be a long week.

I think I'll put little storks next to each person's name on the front page with what team they are. But I think I will wait until more people know.

I will wait to put up team yellow's until we have a couple of pinks and blues. It'll look weird to just have the yellows for like another month.
Is anyone else afraid of being disappointed by your baby's gender? I'm so afraid I'll react negatively if they tell us it's a girl. And then I feel SOOO guilty for even thinking of it! I feel like a bad mama already.
