Six weeks today!

Only three sleeps until the first scan. This has been the most excruciating wait of all – there is so much still to know before we can relax. Will there be a heartbeat? One embryo or two? Is everything looking OK? It’s just plain nerve-wracking.

Bean is starting to feel sick as well as completely exhausted – I think this is a Very Good Sign but I don’t think she agrees!

It’s hard to actually feel connected to this, when all we have to go on is a line on a stick (um, actually many lines on many sticks) and the doctor’s word. I am really looking forward to seeing something different on the wang-cam. The fuzzy grainy black and white image of bean’s retroverted uterus is so familiar – it will be very cool if there is a tiny pulsing blob in there.

It’s a very strange time in a few ways. There are decisions to be made, about pre-natal testing and where to book in for the birth and whether to find out the sex and we’ve even got back into the Great Name Debate. But we can’t decide on anything because we don’t want to get too invested until we know that things are looking good. It’s limbo.

We’ll definitely update again on Monday with the results of the scan. Fingers crossed and breath held all across the interweb please!
