Good morning!

I woke up at 6am today, still smiling and i looked at the scan straight away. Its a lovely idea to take a picture of u both with the scan pic. I think i will copy that idea and have our dog in the picture too!
We are going to tell our close friends today and then it doesnt really matter who finds out after that. I want to tell the world
I saw the heartbeat straight away but DH didnt and the lady had to point it out to him. He didnt cry. I asked him afterwards if he felt like crying but he said he didnt, he felt relieved.
I might buy a little something now, like vests or a baby grow. We go away on friday and there is a mothercare in preston so we are going there! I wont buy big things until after 20 weeks. MIL said she would like to buy the pram, so thats brilliant!

When we were ttc and seeing a fertility specialist i had a scan to check my ovaries. My bladder was so full, i thought i would pee myself! And i had to wait for ages to be seen, it was torture! Thats why yesterday i didnt drink loads and just sipped a bottle of water. My bladder was full but it felt ok, i wasnt dying for the toilet like last time. But i got asked to empty my bladder so next scan i will just sip water again and see what happens.

3 days to your scan! What time is your scan?

Another day closer to your scsn!!
How u feeling? Xxx

I had a rubbish day yest, ms wise, but bit better today so far. I'm extra tired (& apparently grumpy!) today. I got a new sickness pills prescription using my maternity card, & cried that I have something that says maternity!! (I was back in car, not in pharmacist, you'll be relived to know!)

I'm feeling 50% excited & 50% anxious about Sat. I will be so happy if everything is ok, especially as its 12 weeks so we can tell everyone. If they put my due date back, does that mean I'm not allowed to buy anything as its not 12 weeks? I can't imagine they will, but you never know, ESP as I'll be 12 weeks exactly.

How are you? Still smiling? How did telling your friends go? Have you managed to upload your scan pic?

Hope you have a lovely weekend away! xxx

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Sorry ms is still bad for u.

I feel the same about my next scan. It is still a worry because now we have told people. Our friends are very happy and excited! I keep wanting to tell more and more people! But im going to wait until after my next scan now & then i will hopefully know how far along i am and i can update my ticker.
I will try to post my scan pic tonight. Im just starting work now.
I dont think your dd will get put back but if it does & u see a healthy baby then id just tell everyone anyway.

[MrsBroodyPant]

Its your scan TOMORROW! Xxx

 

[Pansy]

I know! I can't believe it! I'm feeling even more nervous now. Do they ask you any questions? Am i meant to know anything? Is it just a sonographer, rather than a doctor? Do you have any tips? I'd love more than one photo, but don't think I should at £10 each. Better to spend the extra £10 on baby.

I've been feeling odd things in my abdomen these past few days. Kind of mix between stretchy pain day after you've done sit ups & stomache ache, but not like I've experienced before. I hope it's just growing/moving pains & not something wrong. It's not getting any worse, so I think it's ok.

Did you watch the Big Reunion shows? I'm just watching the last one now (it's passed my bedtime nowadays when it's live) It's all taking me back to my youth!! If I wasn't pregnant I think I'd want to go to one of the concerts.

Hope you have a relaxing, bonding weekend away. Will you have Internet? I'll tell you about my scan anyway, so you can read it when you can. xxx

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Hi,

I still havent put my scan pic on but i will when i get chance.
Im just about to do an Easter party at work before we go away & relax! I will have internet. What time is your scan?
Its just a sonographer who did mine & only asked me how far along i thought i was. My tip would be to enjoy it!!! And buy the pics if u want, but yours are rather expensive.
Ive been feeling a few twinges & my mum thinks its just stretching etc..try not to worry unless it is painful.
I havent watched the big reunion but heard it is good! I love all types of music. Its amazing how it can remind u of something or someone or take u back to a certain time.

After your scan, what are your Easter weekend plans?
Xxx

 

[Pansy]

My scan's at 14:50 - the day is going to go so slowly waiting for it! It's about the time now, & today has lasted forever!

Straight after, if all goes well, we'll pop into Bath to buy something for baby. Then on Easter Sun we're going to my parents for lunch & visiting DH's sister & family in afternoon (we were invited for tea but I can't cope with eating & travelling with in eve). DH works bank hols so no plans for Mon. Actually, there a Daffodil Fayre at nearby village, so we might go to that when he comes home at 3.

Hope your party was fun! xxx

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

When my scan was at 1pm the morning was long. This next scan is 10.30am so a little easier.
The party went well...egg hunts & bingo & egg&spoon races with 30 children! Im tired now lol
I know your scan will be totally fine but i understand the worry.
Im just having fish & chips now before setting off.
I hope your evening goes quickly.

There is my little baby all curled up with chin on its chest. You can really see its face quite well and it looks like its got a french mushtash lol.
I LOVE it xxx

 

[Pansy]

Aww, sooooo cute! Your LO does look v cosy in there, must've been fast asleep or just far too comfy! I can't believe how much more detail you can see now they are 11/12 weeks, compared to my 9 week one. I really hope I get a beautiful pic like that tomorrow too (although maybe uncurled!)

I'm so jealous of you eating fish & chips - I used to love that! My evening should go quickly, I'll be asleep shortly after 9! Then I've just got to get through most of tomorrow!

Have a lovely weekend! xxxx

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Its TODAY!

Try to keep busy to pass the time quicker! I know everything will be fine, but good luck anyway. Please let me know as soon as u can afterwards.
I will be thinking about u!!!

Im excited for u xxx

 

[Pansy]

Thank you

Time is going sooooo slowly! We are leaving at 1:15, so not long now. I think this has been the longest morning ever! I didn't sleep well, not cos I was thinking about the scan, just cos I kept waking up, so i feel like I've been waiting since 3am. I listened to "I knew I loved you before I met you" & it made me cry again. I really hope everything is alright. I keep telling myself I've had no bleeding, no change in symptoms since last scan, it should be fine, but I worry still.

How's your hotel? Hope you're having fun. xxx

 

[Pansy]

All ok & beautiful! Will post more later. xxx

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Brilliant xxx

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Im soo happy for u!
Cant wait to hear all about it!

Our hotel is lovely & the bed is very big & comfy.
We went to mothercare this morning & DH got really into it looking at prams & cots. We have been for a walk along blackpool front & the sun came out, it was quite nice actually. We plan on going to mamas & papas tomorrow as that is nearby too and then head to The Lakes for sunday lunch.
Update me when u get chance

He or she is so beautiful! I can't believe how different the pic is from my last one. We got 6 different pics for our £10, so it didn't seem so expensive. I can't decide which is my favourite to put in my frame.

When they measured him, they found he was 6.5cm, so my due date has been moved by 6 days - I'm now due 6th Oct & will be 13 weeks tmr! I'm pretty sure my dates are right, so I think my baby must be big! But that's the date they use from now on, so less time to wait for my 20 week scan!

It was all very quick, we were out within 30 mins & hada bold test too. My other blood test results were fine & I'm rhesus +ve (or whatever the ok one is), so it's all good. Baby took a few mins to get in the right position, but he was stretched out & very wriggly throughout! I will see if I can upload a pic in a min.

We bought him a present afterwards - a Miffy comforter & some little yellow booties. So cute!

Glad your having such a good time & enjoying the baby shops! (Will M&Ps be open on Easter Sun?)
