I told you I was a novice blogger, but even I admit that 6 weeks between posts is a bit much!
Last time I posted I was 6 weeks pregnant, and every time I thought about posting, I couldn't face it as it felt like I was going to jinx this pregnancy. Well, since then I had a scan at 7 weeks 4 days, and one last Thursday at 11 weeks, 1 day, and everything was fine! My husband and I were too amazed at seeing the baby somersault and the definition of the head and arms, that we forgot to be emotional and neither of us cried! It wasn't until we got outside that our emotions came out! We're so relieved and are now allowing ourselves to be excited. Although I'm finding it slightly hard to deal with the 3 friends that I've told as they are so excited and I feel that I need to temper their excitement by not being so excited! Sounds silly doesn't it, but I suppose I'm still trying to protect myself.
Afterwards we talked to the doc and he suggested booking in for the NT test (Nuchal Transluceny - which is a scan and a blood test which detects Down Syndrome and other physical abnormalities). We agreed, I booked the appointments without really thinking about it. I had the blood test yesterday, the scan's booked for Friday, and then I think we get the results. Now I'm worried about what will happen if we get a bad result. After having 2 babies removed from me, I don't think I could make the decision to get rid of this baby. And I'm worried that my husband may not feel the same way as me. I know I should talk to him, but I'm worried about what he would say.
Anyway, that's all for now.

I know what you mean. We are at the same stage (as you know), and we are also going to do the nuchal fold test - I have no idea what we will do if given a bad result. I just don't think I could terminate either after having so many babies taken from me.
After this 12 week scan, I think we can allow ourselves to get a little excited. I pray it goes well for all of us.
