Hun maybe you should check to see if youll have your scan booked for you or you have to book it yourself? I know here i had to get my notes from m/w then book my own appointments for scans

My doc referred me and within 3 weeks i had a m/w call and i went for my booking in appt!!

Do some researching hun you might be able to get one sooner!!

Yea, i told DH and he said to just call the hospital back and ask what i can expect from it, because if i do get a scan that day, he'd like to know so he can take time off work to come as well. i think i will call and ask that tomorrow. i'm sure they get a lot of calls like that anyway...lol

i sure hope it's a scan day! i'm in total limbo here wondering and hoping baby bean is ok and growing!

hang in there sweet pea....I know its a bit at the moment...but Im sure that everything will be fine!
But I do understand how you feel! Until you have that scan, you cannot relax and keep your mind at peace!
Im thinking of ya sweety!

Guess what everyone!!! I found out my cousin is pregnant! WOW! I never knew, she is quite far along now and due in August of this year!! My grandma told me when i told her my news. My cousin is having a baby boy! I'm so pleased for her and we will have LOs around the same age (4 months apart)! cool!

Tomorrow morning i have an OB orientation at the base clinic (not the same clinic that i will be going to) i am really not sure what will all happen tomorrow, but i think it's just going to talk about what my insurance will be able to cover offbase at the other clinic etc. Of course this is the clinic all my records are kept so that too i suppose. Maybe it'll be something more, i don't know...but in any case it's SOMETHING. Can't wait!

Hope your appointment goes well sweetie

Congrats to your cousin I hope your appointment goes well xx

The Orientation today was great! It was just like a class at the base clinic, they handed all of us books and a pregnancy calendar and all sorts of little brochures and things...even a toothbrush LOL. Lots of different speakers covering all sorts of pregnancy issues and such. Signed up for a couple of the classes they offer too, it was awesome very informative.

There was quite a few ladies there (which the speakers said was unusual, usually there are only 3-4 ladies who get pregnant a month, but we had about 10 in the class!) and omg get this...one of them was a friend of mine!! Crazy! i had no idea she was pregnant and vice versa, both of us were 'keeping it a secret for a while' well so much for that i guess! So i have a preggy buddy here she's about 2 weeks behind me, awesome!

Also, 8 weeks today so took a belly pic!

Hey hon... this might be super jumping the gun but have you guys thought of any names?

Ahhh names...at this point peanut is going to be born nameless LOL. DH and i are just totally blank on names! It's so hard for me to pick a name without seeing the child...know what i mean? Heck, it took me 2 days to name my dog when i got him!!!! I don't know what we're gonna do about names except that the middle name will be japanese (DH likes Yoshi for a boy... which i might consider because my grandma was named Yoshiko, and i do miss her dearly!)

I really don't know! i am going to have to ask for ideas on names!!!! I keep thinking of some then i think "do i want to say that name everyday for the rest of my life? hmmm"

that is cool. Yeah, a Japanese middle name would be nice since you have yours too and it is good to keep culture and things. Yoshi and Yoshiko are both nice.

I am just so excited to see your first scan pics! As long as the baby is healthy, who cares if you got to call them "it" for a while!
