Hi ladies! I'm so MIA. I'm in the van riding back to CT today.
Not much on my agenda for the weekend. MH is going to a bachelor party on Saturday night. I told him to make sure he has enough singles for the strip club because no one likes the cheap guy at the strip club. I am officially the old, pregnant wife. Haha!

Nothing new and exciting here. I had an appointment yesterday and got to hear LO's heartbeat. However, I never asked what it was since DS was with me ( we had his 15 month appointment right before mine) and I had to keep him still. I'll try to remember to break out the doppler this weekend at some point so I can see what the heartbeat is.
I have no motivation to work today, which sucks because I have a ton on my plate. Le sigh.

WTH. I had a couple bites of lunch and had to run to the bathroom. Which I didn't make. I got to the kitchen sink at least. I thought I was past this stage. Grr. And I'm soooo hungry! How did you ladies do it?!

I have approximately two hours of work left and then the weekend and THEN my NT scan. Is it normal to be nervous about NT scan if I already have my Materniti21 results? When will this anxiety go away? I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing about it and I am sick of myself and want to enjoy pregnancy.
My agenda for this weekend: hang out with visiting extended family (to be fair that's a lot of the weekend), take dog to vet, barre class on Sunday evening. I'm also participating in the Parenting decluttering challenge so need to tackle medicine cabinets and linens!
legalbeagle I got my Verifi results yesterday, and honestly, that was the biggest relief, knowing the baby did not have DS. But I was still a little nervous before the NT scan this AM and now that both were good I feel like this is actually a real thing. The waiting is the worst, though! Sounds like you have a busy weekend to keep your mind off of it all
legalbeagle, I wouldn't worry too much about the NT scan. My OB office doesn't even do the NT scan if you do the NIPT (MaterniT21, Verifi, Counsyl, etc) bloodwork, because it is so much more accurate.

legalbeagle, the worrying never goes away. You just learn to cope better. You spend the whole time TTC worrying about getting pregnant, then you get KU & you spend the next 40 weeks worrying about whether or not the baby is okay, then its born and you worry about them some more.
I had an OB appointment today & got to hear the HB so, woohoo! Next appointment is in 4 weeks and that's the anatomy scan. It seems crazy to already be at that point.
I'm struggling to find a maternity swimsuit and it's so frustrating. It's like if you are anything over a size Medium it's impossible to find anything that fits & doesn't make you look like a beached whale.
The hospital released me yesterday afternoon, sending me off with a pair of crutches that I am terrible at using. The first order of business when we got back was a shower, which I took while sitting on an upturned plastic trash can to stay off my sprained ankle. Super fun! Today I've just been sleeping/vegging on the couch between doses of tylenol.
Obviously I'm planning a quiet weekend. I'm so glad to hear that we've had a few great results on NT scans and genetic screening bloodwork! Congrats on the good appointments, kaydee0402, sdgal, Lucy, and emilie! legalbeagle, I hope everything goes perfectly at your appointment on Monday.
Yesterday was the first day DH said he noticed changes in my tummy area. There's a definite beginnings of something happening there, though I think it's like someone else mentioned, a redistribution of stomach fat, but I'll take it. Lazy weekend planned for us, lunch with friends and maybe some yardwork.
Morning D16! Early start in my house. Why 5:30 am is DS wake up time on the weekends only I have no idea.
Enjoying my iced decaf and bagel. Today is clean my dirty house day. My kid loved his donut, practically stuffed his face. And he keeps waving at everybody.

I just bought a tankini top from old navy. I'm hoping I can still wear my old bottoms.

@cahistoryteacher "redistribution of stomach fat" is my new favorite phrase. So appropriate for our collective bumps!
Thanks for all the love and reassurance ladies. I promise post-Monday at 10am you'll see a new and improved legal beagle!
Well today just became a lot easier for me. Extended family is going outlet shopping for the day. They asked if I wanted to go, but I can think of nothing less that I'd like to do. So DH is doing soccer/lunch with DS (we trade weekends on this responsibility) and I am doing laundry and looking at girl clothes in the Hanna Andersson catalogue -- normally I just blow right by that section. Decluttering challenge will commence as soon as I'm done with eyeing the catalogue.
