Hey girlies - it was scan day today 13w1d...
Wow how emtional was i?? It was perfect. Right size, shape heartbeat fluttering away. Moving around when prodded.
I was sooo scared that nothing would be there when they put the scan on my tummy. (pics will be uploaded when i get home as at work at the moment)
The measurements came back as precisely my due date 9th feb.
4 photos, one where it is sticking out it's tongue as well.....
So there is something there and i am not imagining things. Hubby was so excited watching it, and seeing it move around, he was on a high about it. Prob the most excited i have seen him - but i think with men they have to offically see something there to believe it, esp with me having had no symptoms either... if i had my head down the bowl of the toilet then it might be another matter.
The consultant came to see me as i was IVF they like to say hello and make sure i am OK, but he decided that there was no need for him in my case as it all seems to be going along swimmingly and was happy to be midwife led from now on.
The nucal fold (?) test was done too, but the fluid under the neck was minimal so the scan lady said it looked good on that front too for us!
So now we have offically gone "public" Hubby has told his best mate, blokes being blokes he sent a pic of the scan photo and reply was "great" nothing more said /asked - quite funny!! Hmommy know exactly how you feel, i just wanted those extra two weeks to see the scan confirm all is ok - as the thought of having told people then if the worst did happen having to tell them again it all fell through just filled me with dread.. The two weeks will zoom by....
So now i still feel wierd saying "I'm pregnant" as always hoped i would be able to say it - but always prepared myself for not ever saying it!
In full blown maternity clothes now... all old clothes packed away so it makes it easier to see what does actually fit me rather than no, no, no, sort of.....
Wanting hubby to put them in the loft as won't be needing them for at least 6/7 months... esp as the majority of them are work clothes so will get them out after baby born ro gauge how the weight loss is going as i'm determined to be able to to wear all the same clothes as before... woman on a mission!!!
So now just got to wait until next midwife appt end of this month, then 20 week scan end of September 26th... Then we have to decide whether to find out the sex or not - think i want to wait and see what it is, will make the birth more exciting.
My sister seems to think it's a girl as she reckons boys give you more MS.. as cause i had nothing it's got to be a girl.
I think hubby thinks and hopes it a boy so he can get the boy trained up for triathlons so they can train together - the child will not have a say in the matter as far as hubby is concerned!!!
I'm right there with you, I'm loving my belly 
I feel comfort knowing that my cervix is closed shut and my babies are that much safer
