Had the scan on Friday, all is well!! Measured at 10+6 so baby is due on 13th February 2010. Just as I had worked out. :)
It was absolutely magical seeing Baby B waving and kicking about. And at one point he turned and faced where the Sonographer was scanning and we could see the heartbeat fluttering away. So perfect. (No, we don't know that baby is a 'he', but I am NOT calling my baby 'it'!)
Then we had the fun of telling our siblings that evening. Everyone is sooo pleased for us, it's fabulous that they excitement isn't contained to just us any more!
We saw much of the family on Saturday. My Dad offered to buy us the cot when we are ready. Fantastic Dad! My Grandparents are thrilled they are going to be Great-Grandparents, and my Aunt that she is going to be a Great-Aunt. My Mum and sisters insisted on going into a few baby shops, and I have ended up with 2 maternity tops and 1 breats-feeding top for my birthday in August. And a My First Steiff Bear from my sisters and a t-shirt and little coat from my younger sister. And 3 sleepsuits, bibs and a little rattle from my Mum. Also, my Mum and younger sister have started knitting! Then from MIL, we collected one of Husband's t-shirts from when he was little, and his baby shawl that MIL knitted, which is beautiful. The t-shirt is important to Husband as his Dad brought it back form one of the oil rigs he was working on, and MIL said it's the only thing he brought back for the children. Very special. baby is already spoilt. And as we both get paid on Friday, I can finally buy something for baby! :) :) :)

Catch-up
I meant to keep this updated properly, oops!
We told my Dad as planned. :) He was very happy. Didn't say much, but then he rarely does. But he had a genuine, pleased smile, that I haven't seen in ages. He's great with babies and little ones, I can't wait to introduce him to ours!
My first scan appointment is coming up! Friday 24th!! A little bit scary, but mostly exciting! I really can't wait. The aching boobs, near constant sicky feelings and aversions to certain foods mean the disbelieving feelings have waned, but I don't think they will go completely until we actually hear that important heartbeat! And then we'll be able to tell everyone! :) Really looking forward to that!
Also to having a more definite EDD so I can start planning maternity leave! Work is really getting to me right now, it's so hot and uncomfortable in there, I always feel so much worse.
I also have an appointment with the Consultant on 4th August, so looking forward to seeing what they say. Then will see the MW at about 16 weeks, and have the next lot of tests. Speaking of, the bloods she did came back as a 'low blood count', so I am on iron tablets, but I don't think they are agreeing with my stomach/digestive system. I'll only have been on the for 4 days this evening, but if things haven't improved in a week, I think I will have to see if I can change them!
Husband seems to be less flappy than before, which is good. I can't wait to see him at the scan, when it becomes really real for both of us.
So, I will really try to keep this more updated! xx
