Well I said I wouldnt start a journal till I got through the first tri.
I decided today I would start as I had a scan this morning and all is well - I think I finally feel like this is going to happen.
My name is Lisa and I joined B&B in the TTC section at the start of December 07 and I was very lucky to get my BFP in February 08.
This will be my second baby - my first, Emily, is 13yrs old and will be 14 by the time this one is born. "YOU? A 13 yr old? But you dont look old enough?" I hear you cry!!!
I'm now 33 and my husband and I are excited about having our first together. He's an amazing step-dad and he'll be a wonderful father.
Soooooo, bringing you upto date. Things have gone pretty smoothly so far *she touches some wood* and I pray that will continue to be the case. Minor nausea, major boobage, low level nervous breakdowns and high velocity farts.
I am 13 weeks and 1 day by my EDD but the scan today put me at 13+5 - that means I'm due between 13th and 17th October. Just as we planned it!!! Well not quite to the day but we wanted a baby as soon after September as possible. That fit well with work (we are both in education so we'll be off for the summer, back to work for a week or so then off again for maternity leave!) and the child being older in the year at school has advantages too.
Right I'll stop waffling....
Todays scan was fab - OH was a tad disappointed when the tech said she thought it was a girl and TBH so was I but as cheesy as it is, so long as its healthy and happy I dont mind if its not got a willy. NT measurement was 1.9mm which I am reliably informed is very good.
Today I vow to enjoy my pregnancy from this moment forth......

I'm dying to start a journal, but like you won't do it til I've hit 12 weeks. Hope you enjoy it!! Can't wait to hear your stories as you go along. Good luck x x
We have a 3D/4D scan booked in 3 weeks time to establish the sex so I aske him if he thought we should still go. If they hadnt said anything yesterday, then we'd be going so thats one way to look at it. Another way is its not actually that long until my 20 week scan (no date yet but roughly) and they will probably be able to see then if Harry (or Harriet!) bean cooperates - and that doesnt cost anything!!!
I'm really undecided what to do for the best. I want him to decide as he's always saying that he doesnt know why I ask his opinion on anything as if I disagree we'll do it my way anyway!!!
Part of me wants this sorted ASAP - if its a girl then he'll just have to get over it (God I make him sound awful and he's the perfect husband - my friends often remark if they didnt know him as a rugby playing 6 foot mans man, they'd swear he was gay) and we can start getting excited again.
Like most women, I've worried my way through the first tri and he made me promise to start to enjoy being pregnant after the scan - I really want to and I think I will but this little cloud of him sulking about the possibility of it not being a boy is pissing me off.
I have belly ache today and I'm starting with a cold. Emily starts a weeks run in an opera on tuesday so its mental driving miles to reharsals etc and I cant be arsed - fortunately OH is really happy to take her and stay even though you sit there till 10pm most nights. So he's a good guy really - esp when you think her biological father can even be arsed to ring her.....
I really need the Sex and The City movie to hurry up and come out!!
Right brain emptied.....(doesnt hold much eh???!).....for now...
