when I think of that, of making new friends, I think..."But I like my friends, and I don't need any new ones." Of course the ideal would be for all my friends to decide at the same time to have kids. (A problem, since some aren't even married or dating). Or at least just a few. Or one? I have one friend trying but she's in Springfield. Better than nothing!
I don't want to ditch my friends just cause they don't have kids, but I'm sure I'll want to be able to talk and share things with people who know where I'm coming from.
Well, those are hardly real problems to worry about! I'm kind of trying to just push it from my mind.

Oh, I agree, I don't want to ditch my current friends but they are SO busy, we only get together every couple of months. One is in London right now until the fall, than will be back and forth from florida all winter working. The other is in her last year of residentcy, so also works a lot of hours.
I'm hoping Heather7476 from the boards here will get pregnant at the same time as me, she only lives about 30 minutes from me! She has one daughter and has been trying for another child for a while, so hopefully, we will get pregnant about the same time!

Eh, my best friend lives much, much further than them, so it all seems relative I guess. My friends are definitely all in different stages as well. Most of them are still living the single party life, we're all grad students. The friends I have who want kids will all be moving soon anyway. So I don't really have a choice.

Make sure you're kids have friends from an early age. I know two different people who didn't seek friends for their kids (they were older than all the 'young' mothers) and both those kids had MAJOR social problems. When they went to pre-school they didn't know how to cope with kids or play. So if and when the time comes get them with other babies to play.

That's true for dogs too. You have to make sure they socialize.

I don't think they scan unless you have a scanner that can do negatives (and those are EXPENSIVE), but who knows, you might! I would love to see the pictures too!! I totally feel for you because as I've said before, I will have no patience waiting to know the sex of my baby. Good luck!!!

They just CAN'T reschedule this appt, that would be cruel! LOL!!
I know Rachel emailed me a copy of her ultrasound a while back so I think you can scan them in but then again, I'm not a good computer person!! They should give you a regular, black and white picture. Whenever I go in for u/s they print off a bunch of them for my file!

Oh see, they do ultrasounds differently in real life than I remember, or they show on TV. Never mind (wanders off whistling innocently).
