Wonderful u/s nuchal screen! It's a boy?!
Hi ladies! Today was so exciting, and exhausting...first my sweet, loving, attentive DH forgot today was the day, although we've talked about it everyday, sometimes several times a day, for the last month. Not too long of a wait, horrible finger prick (small price to pay), and then the most beautiful baby I've ever seen! Nuchal space was 1.1, which is excellent, nasal bone was there, and the little guy was rolling and bouncing everywhere. I just wanted it to last forever. Technician said do you want to know the sex...we were like yes, but you really can't tell yet. She said yes I can ( I am also measuring a little big, 13 weeks 3 days, but I am 12 weeks 3 days) She showed up the straight up little spot, and said she was sure that is a boy. So...guess we will wonder if she is right and get confirmation in another month or so. I really didn't care, it was just marvelous to watch the baby move around 
Now if only my exhaustion and nausea would go away. I've been able to eat more lately, but then get an aftermath of indigestion.
I'm so glad to see so many ladies from TTCA35 here, and excited to see your progress

Great NT results! Congratulations!
I don't know about you, but it's after the stellar NT scan that finally I felt confident that LO was going to be OK. It was such a relief, and it's at that time that we finally told extended family and friends our good news. We still did all the other necessary testing, but confidence was pretty high that those would have equally good results.

Excellent news and good to know the little one was performing well for you!
Congrats!
I bet the tech is right. They can usually tell at this point especially if it's a boy....with my daughter, I saw absolutely nothing between her legs at the NT scan (although the tech didn't say anything), so I figured she was a girl. And I was right (granted I had a 50/50 shot either way lol).
