Hi All -

Just a quickie update -

Had the scan this morning. All is well with our little one. Measuring 1.71 cm and heart rate of 176, saw the little arm & leg buds, head and of course heartbeat flickering away! DH was grinning from ear to ear!

Dr said it is about the size (and shape) of a gummy bear now - so DH has his new nickname for her/him... he said, I hope it's a red one, that's my favorite! ;) He was so cute.

I will post pics later, gotta scan them in.

Hugs to all --- thanks for all your support - you girls are the bestest!

Congratulations Rachel and your DH on the birth of little Ruby - we know you're busy, but hope you know we are thinking of you.

Hope - aaawww how sweet - little gummy bear - glad the scan went well.

Steph - your nibblet looks fine and dandy - loving the scan piccie. I have one of those fibroids too - like you they are justing keeping an eye on it just in case it affects the birthing channel

Carolyn - great to see you - how have you been - work is getting much better - I'm just counting the days til mat leave.

ICSI - fingers crossed for you and that those pills have worked wonders for DH swimmers - YOU GO SWIMMERS!!

sorry just a quickie - need to eat - having Mir's favourite tonight - potatoes!!

:) that's so funny - i went to Target today, looking for Cinnamon drops (you know, those that are wrapped in clear red paper) and I found gummy bears in the candy isle. I almost bought them! I told DH about it later and he said, NO! don't buy 'em!! I said, why? He said because they'll get old and gross one day and we'll have to throw them out and I will want to keep them anyway! How sweet & silly is that?

Oh, and you'd asked if I'm done with RE - yup - I "graduated" today. No appts for 2 weeks - May 2 is my first with my OB.

Btw, I never did find the stupid cinnamon drops. Anybody know where I can find a bag of just those? I found starlight peppermints, butterscotch, and a mixed bag, but none with just cinnamon. :roll:

Steph - what an awesome pic of your little turtle princess!!! I am sure things will be fine with her. I'm so happy for you. And not much longer for hell, right?? :) yay! I am predicting a Halloween baby for you - Oct 31!!

It's Mia's not Mir's...I figured I'd point that out since Mia is too good for us to be here any more :wink:

Good to know you have that same fibroid, well not good but good to know someone else in this situation. Is it actually IN your cervix or near it? I just have never hear of them in the cervix before. I knew I had em in my uterus. ARGH!

Gotta run to bed now :(
I love my job I love my job I love my job

You mean like red hots??? like these? http://www.wilton.com/store/site/produc ... 01B9372B88

I say google it if that isn't what you are looking for :D

Woo...gradumanated you have to the OB (that is my Yoda impression fer ya haha). Is it your regular OB? So exciting huh :)

I'm hoping for a Halloween baby, that is for sure...I'd just really love anything in October really....in fact I think my grandfather's bday was the 26th...or is it the 28th? I'd have to check as I don't have mhy family tree on this new puter yet....that would be cool too :)

OMG my dog is too funny. Napoleon just circled and circled on top his bed then plopped with such gusto that he let out the UMPF as he hit the ground haha...SOOOOO dramatic haha

Ok now really off to bed!
