I just wanted to see how you are doing! ?I feel like such a lurker lately because I just check from my phone at school and crash when I get home. ?I am feeling more hungry (hardly ate a thing for about two weeks) but with that comes sudden starving I-will-eat-my-hand and maybe puke feeling. ?It just comes out of nowhere! ?On the upside my breasts are less tender. ?I called the dr because I was scared but they said normal. ?Oh and I got a dopplar which I love!

What day did the dr say you are due? ?Mine has changed me to Oct 30 but I am staying a Tiny Turkey! ?Didn't you get moved up too?

NT scan tomorrow and I can't wait!

How are you feeling? ?Are you in full on maternity clothes? ?I have jeans but haven't made the switch otherwise. ?We still haven't told our families!?

My due date has also been moved to 10/30.  It was moved there pretty early on but I'm committed to the Tiny Turkeys and my u/s said 11/3, my OB is just stubborn and is sticking with LMP (whatever, I'm more stubborn, so there!).  I'm still trying to get my hands on a doppler.  One of my friends with a 6 month old said she had one or knew someone who had one, I have to get in touch with her and get it.  The OB had no trouble finding the HB on his doppler so I have good hope to be able to find it.  If that doesn't  pan out I'll just buy one! 

I still feel just has pukey if not more so, I can't wait until I feel better.  The break room is full of cake and my Easter basket is untouched because I have an aversion to sweets.  I really want some ham right now but I have to wait nearly another hour to get home and eat it.

I wear scrubs to work and so far, since they have an elastic waist-band and all, they still fit fine.  I have outgrown my tighter scrubs but with the post m/c weight gain I wasn't fitting in those too well anyway.  When I have to wear "regular" clothes, I am now leaning towards maternity clothes.  I tried to wear my normal jeans but the waistband cut into my stomach and made me sick so I just gave in and put on the maternity pants.  I tell you they are so comfortable, there is no going back!

Good luck with your NT scan.  My OB didn't even meantion doing one to me, but he doesn't seem too worried about anything in this pregnancy.  I'm only 27 and there are no concerns in my family history so I wouldn't have gotten one anyway.  It would be nice to see my baby again though.  You're lucky to get a good long look at your baby

Man I ONLY want sweets. ?All the freaking time. ?I feel like Buddy the Elf. ?But I cannot stand anything tomato based. ?No pasta which has always been my favorite!

I have the post m/c weight gain too. ?So my "fat pants" are what I have been wearing.

I am only 27 too and have no history but I figured that:

1. I love ultrasounds!

2. If there is a problem, I would like to be prepared

Okay, truth be told I just love me some ultrasounds.

?

I got the same doppler that is on Amazon but I got it through another company and there was a coupon for it so it was like $105 before shipping. ?If you are interested I will find that receipt so I can find the website. ?

So glad everything is going well. ?I just wish I could stop holding my breath!?

My OB doesn't believe in "unnecessary" ultrasounds, which is probably why he didn't meantion the NT scan.  He knew I would jump at the chance to see my baby.  Even though I told him I was nervous and it would put my mind at ease he just told me there was no reason to be nervous and he won't give me an u/s "just because I want one" boo, I don't like him anymore!

Yeah boo! ?I don't like him either! ?

Actually one thing I do like about my new dr (which sounds a lot like yours) is that he is not an alarmist. ?I am totally nervous and call all the time and his attitude is very much that everything is normal and stop worrying. ?I think for women like us, this is a good attitude to have. ?At first I thought it was a little insensitive, but we do not need people feeding our paranoia! ?I will let you know how it goes!

I do think that I am the crazy lady who calls every week with some wacky problem. ?Like my boobs hurt "less". ?I have a weird pain. ?Yeah. ?Crazy. ?Lady.?
