there was 20 years between DD and DS2, so we were quite excited as well - just 2-3 years between DS2 and this baby, so not such a huge gap!

Hooorayyy!! DH is getting chinese takeaway for tea! Yummmmmmmmmmmm

Well, ladies, I am back...

The scan was good - the MW was happy with everything and thought that Cub's measurements were about right for the dates. She took us through all the body parts, which was cool... there was a brilliant moment when the hands were up like a boxer and you could almost see a proper face. The pics we actually got weren't that great but the experience of the scan was memorable enough. Really happy that everything is where it should be

Now the moment of truth we're expecting a daughter but as you ladies will know I don't like all that girly prissy stuff so I guess I'll have to start my own team :rolleyes: Hmmm, maybe lilac or 'javan dawn' like the nursery?! :cool:

We're not telling anyone but my mum so you ladies are in on the secret We daren't tell DH's parents or we'll be drowning in frills and dolls before we know it!

The trip to the hospital didn't end that well though. I went to have some blood tests for anaemia etc and I collapsed afterwards I've had similar experience only twice before in my life - due to sudden low blood pressure. It's fine, but horrible at the time. Was v embarrassing as about 5 nurses, a crash team and 2 porters with a gurney arrived on the scene (by which point I was lying down and feeling much better - had stopped sweating buckets) DH was dispatched for sugar. Am feeling fine now, just a bit washed out. Thank god no-one had to pick me up or anything like they had to last time - I weigh a ton, it is so embarrassing.

Anyway, spose I better get myself a nice cuppa and put me feet up

Looking forward to hearing all the other scan stories

*hugs* ML!! And I thought I was bad.. Funny you mentioned feeling "washed out" - I couldn't stop yawning once I'd gotten over the clammy faint feeling earlier. Had to tell the midwife she wasn't boring me!

Incidentially, just in case anyone didn't know (I didn't until this afternoon), if feeling faint you should lie on your left side. I didn't think it would make any difference but it really did to me this afternoon (tried me on my back, then my right then my left). Apparently the recovery position is always to your left - I didn't think it made a difference (it is 10 years since I did a first aid course tho'!).

Congrats on team javan dawn

Yey - congrats on team lilac/lemon/violet(:D).

We only told MIL we were having a girl - no-one else! Big mistake, within a matter of hours she'd been out and bought every bit of pink/lacey tat a baby could ever need! :eek:

congratz on your girlie ML ... im the same as you with the girlie things but i love buying pink for zoe (not only that but she tells me off if i dont :rotfl:) her room is fushia pink her bed is pink the lot but it is completely restricted to her room nothing else is pink in the house i dont own a single pink item of clothes i actually hate pink but it makes her happy ... but expect everyone to buy you pink x
