Thanks a lot Mol. I'll try them out. My usual leggings and pants are becoming so uncomfortable these days.
Karen & lacanadienne - the pulse feeling, though it's mostly near my belly button now, it's still kinda all over the place. Sometimes I can feel that in my lower abdomen too. And yesterday, for the first time, I can feel some weird popping sensation, like you have some popcorns which are popping or opening the cork of a bottle, only without any sound. I really don't know what all these things means and don't want to get too optimistic that these are baby movements. Will see how the scan goes by, which is in another 4hrs.
Jumpingo - As for telling people, just do it when you feel like. We told the immediate family right away, because we need them right away. And for the rest, we kinda let them know when we meet them or talk to them post 12 weeks. And that's only with those who are very close or we meet them almost everyday. As for the social media, I'm not making any announcement there until the baby comes, because If some one from there is really important, we would have told them by now. Also, we don't want to deal with questions on what do you think it'll be or what are the names you have shortlisted, etc. Because, the first time when me and hubby will tell the name to some one else, it'll be to the baby. We haven't even told our parents yet about that.

I couldn't stop crying as I looked at the u/s pictures in the waiting room after the scan. So happy!!
The ultrasound did take a lot of time - looks like the baby is awake only in the evenings and night and doesn't like to be disturbed during sleep. I had to walk around for almost 1.5 hrs to get the baby moving and get the measurements. I still couldnt get a peak at the gender. The techs here are very careful in not showing any obvious shots. But, overall, it went really well.
