what is a picture worth?

I haven't written in ages, basically because I've been in constant terror that I was about to miscarry. I've had almost no pregnancy symptoms, and, in the UK, you have to wait till 13 weeks for the scan. I thought the TWW was bad, but this?!?

So, taking the money *can* buy you happiness route, we paid for a private scan today and, amazingly, there was a live moving foetus on the screen, perfectly sized for 10 weeks, waving at us, and with a strong heartbeat. We were all so scared, but, now, well, WOW!


 

A Baby

Well, the scan shows that Ripley is definately pregnant. It was amazing to see the little precious thing, and hear it's heartbeat. The doc said it looked perfect. I'll scan the pictures later & put them here for all to see. We are so over the moon & excited, it hasn't really sunk in properly yet. WOW!!!

Scan

Ripley is going for a scan tomorrow. She is having to pay for it though as she can't wait for another 3 weeks for a 13 week scan. She hasn't been feeling any symptons for the past 2 weeks and she's worried there's nothing there. Let's hope she's wrong. The scan is in the morning. I'll post something tomorrow if I'm able.

Ripley is now 8 & a half weeks pregnant!!! WOW!! It's been a hard few weeks tho, she is so worried she'll miscarry, but I'm trying to keep her positive. She's off for a weeks conference in Italy. I hope she'll be OK. She's going to inform me of her progress everyday, & if anything goes wrong she'll get the next flight home. It's so nerve racking, & we can't wait until she has her 12 weeks scan, it's frustrating we have to wait so long, but there's not much else we can do.
