Sophie -- You are truly an inspiration. Your positive attitude is just amazing. I am praying for you.
Em -- Happy belated ANZAC day! It sounds like you've had some really scary moments with your father. I hope it's all smooth sailing from here forward.
Deb -- Congratulations... a girl!! That's great news. Like you, my fatigue and especially my morning sickness seem to want to go out with a bang. I was sick as a dog over the weekend but have been feeling better as of yesterday. Hopefully, we've all finally turned the corner to fun part of the pregnancy. I haven't started showing yet since the morning sickness has kept some weight off of me. I'm not as far along as you but don't know how much longer I'll be able to enjoy wearing my regular clothes. Maybe I'll get lucky for another month or two (fingers crossed).
Pincusion -- I'm glad your nuchal went well and that you won't have to pursue more invasive testing. I am so amazed by all of the stories on this board. So many of the women here have been through such trying situations and all seem to be so positive about their experiences, you included. It must have been very scary with your son and the issue with his lungs. It's great to hear that he's happy and healthy now. I hope the morphology comes back all clear on your little one.
Yesterday, we had our nuchal scan. I was also scheduled to see the doctor for a follow-up visit and was having a glucose tolerance test. I drank the sugar water on the way in to the appointment, knowing that they'd do the blood work after the scan. That was a bad idea!! The baby was on a sugar high throughout the scan and the technician couldn't get any measurements. We were just cracking up as the baby put on a show any aerobics teacher would envy!! It was hysterical. Finally, the technician suggested we have the blood drawn and go to the regular appointment and then come back for the scan. When we returned 40 minutes later, the baby had finally crashed but was sleeping on its head, completely upside down! I had to walk around, coughing for five minutes with the hopes that the baby would move into the needed position. Finally, we had cooperation. The technician was so patient throughout the whole ordeal. I have been thinking the last 10 weeks that we're having a girl but now, I truly believe it's a boy -- and he has every one of his father's traits!!
The technician indicated the measurements looked really good and for the first time since conceiving, I finally feel comfortable about this pregnancy. Yeah!All of my best to each of you.
