Lola, Poor little girl is gonna have 3 pretty protective big brothers!
How're you planning to tell the boys?
We are going to my parents for dinner, so we are gonna put balloons in a box and have them open it in front of everyone. That seemed like the easiest thing to do last minute.
Had the perinatology appt today. It went SO well! Had another ultrasound, met with the doc and a genetic counselor. She said the risk factors are pretty low for Down Syndrome and that its possible that the results were a false positive. Still did the MaterniT21 test and should have those results next week.
Also, we found out we are team PINK! We are going to suprise the fam/kids tonight and tell them. Cant wait!
Omg so excited for you! So glad to hear they think it was a false positive and that everything looks good! And congrats on having a girl! Let us know how your family reacts.

Yay for PINK!! And so happy your appointment went well!!
Need some good vibes for a friend of mine who is due a week after me. She's slightly dilated and her cervix is thinning. Dr put her on bed rest and gave a steroid shot to help the baby's lungs develop faster.
Aaaaand I've been having some sharp vaginal pains, lots of Braxton hicks right on top of each other, and what I think might have been a few actual contractions. I'm not too worried since everything has been low risk up til now, but all I have to compare to is my last pregnancy which was pretty much pain free. I have a midwife appt in the am which is fortunate!

thanks ladies!! my appointment was pretty smooth-- the midwife said to call if I get 6 BH an hour (which has been happening at least once pretty much every day, so I'll probably be calling in at some point this week) but basically said "that's normal for a second pregnancy." Not super helpful. But the baby's heart rate was fine and he's measuring about 34 weeks in size. Who knows when he'll come, but so far things look ok!
AFM- had my confirmation appt yesterday. Only one in there! Baby looks great and I am measuring exactly on target. Got to hear a healthy HB of 167 BPM, it was nice! Plus kiddo was in there and totally mesmerized by listening to the heartbeat, it was so cute! Go back in 3-4 weeks for a real appointment

I know! It's so close... yet so far!!! The last month is the most brutal!
PS - when are you going to start showing bumps, ladies??
Haha right now my bump looks like I ate 3 dinners. But I'm actually super excited to get my belly back, and can't wait to feel like little bugger mover around! But I'm only 11 weeks so still some time to go!
