Update! Wiggly baby and a great NT scan! :)

The appointment went great and the doctor said that all of the measurements looked perfect! I won't have any official numbers or results for 6 weeks (blood test today, 2nd blood test in 4 weeks, then results available 2 weeks after that), but I am feeling pretty good with the measurement alone.

I also talked to the OB about the continued vomitting. She seemed surprised that the Zofran wasn't cutting it, but offered to try me on Reglan for a few weeks. She said I should be nearing the end of this anyway, but if I wanted to switch, she would try it. I just want to eat, so I told her I would be willing to try anything. Funny thing is, LO was measuring a few days ahead at 12w5d so apparently my lack of nutrition isn't hurting this little meatball one bit.

Speaking of our little one... we got to see LO bouncing around, moving his/her arms and legs, sucking his/her thumb. It was so absolutely amazing. It is really cool to see our baby finally looking like... well... a baby!!!

By far, the coolest appointment to date! Today, we are one day closer.

Yay! And I agree - the 12 week one is SO fun! It's amazing how developed they are so early.

I loved the nt scans for both of my girls, it was awesome seeing a baby (instead of the gummy bears looking baby from the 9 week u/s) and seeing how active they were : ). Glad to hear it went great!

Yay! How exciting that there is such a difference in the 12 week scan vs one just a few weeks earlier. Congrats! And I hope you're feeling better soon!

Awww!!! That's awesome! Congrats! What a cool picture of your little one. Amazing. We didn't do a 12 week scan, so that must have been so cool to see!!
