Ashley - you definitely need a scan to see how the baby is developing. I would go crazy if I didnt get a scan by 8 weeks. I would just try and call until they finally give in and let you in.
afm, dh and I will officially start ttc. We actually are pretty disappointed that we missed it last month. We should've put in more effort. Anyways, I didnt care much about ttc and was leanign more toward ntnp, but I really would like a sibling for Zachary since I have witnessed some sad moments. My youngest sister, 2.5 years old is soo attached to Zachary whenever she sees him and cries hysterically when he leaves. That is a result of being an only child (I say that because all of us are full grown, she is like an only child now) and have no siblings around your age. I dont want Zachary to go through the same thing.
