330 ET anatomy scan! This will be our 3rd A/S bc little miss stubborn doesn't like to get off her belly to show off her heart vessels. FX for a cooperative baby and good news!
I have mine at 2:30 then my 20 week app. right after ! I keep having crazy dreams that my very un-shy little boy is suddenly a girl. But i doubt that will be the case.
I have my Gestational Diabetes class today where I learn the diet and how to test sugars. I'm really nervous. Then afterwards my regular Thursday butt stab (progesterone).
Not really baby related, but I just made my first ever chiropractor appointment for this afternoon. I am having so much pelvic pain already that even walking is uncomfortable. I'm nervous but SO hoping she can help it so that I can walk without a waddle!!
We had our anatomy scan this morning bright and early. Measuring 3 days ahead with all parts that are supposed to be there and appearing to be a very healthy baby!
We also turned into Team Blue and have lots of photos to stare at until our next U/S @ 28 weeks. Every old wives tale there is was wrong with me... there goes that!
Our diagnostic office that does the ultrasounds also does this thing called "Bellybaloo" where they email you the photos, so I'm pretty excited about that too. I'll deal with whatever spam it results in, for some digital shots.
Good vibes to everyone else out there with your appointments
OOOOHHHH so Happy! I had my a/s this morning and it went perfectly! We are thrilled to be expecting a little girl to add to our family and she is healthy and thriving feeling extremely relieved and my anxiety level has dropped significantly. Maybe I will finally get a good nights sleep tonight
Had our anatomy scan today and I am happy to report we have a very healthy 1 lb. baby! 20w2d and still a boy We did a sneak peak gender scan at 16 weeks and found out we were team blue, but I was anxious for today on several levels...our main prayer was to see a healthy, developing baby...we've had some bleeding on and off throughout so it been scary at times. After the tech looked at all the parts (ie heart, spine brain, other organs and bones, etc...) I asked her to peek and see if we were still team blue. She just laughed and said nothing had fallen off! And then as an added bonus, my momma and step dad surprised hubby and I and bought us a glider and ottoman for the nursery. It was such a generous, unexpected gift...I'm still in shock! I used a wooden rocking chair with both of my girls that was a family heirloom of sorts, but I am excited for a big plush chair this time around. I tested out several and even got to pick the custom upholstery. I'm feeling so blessed and spoiled today!
Baby looks great! She's still a stubborn little thing and it took a while to cooperate but there are no issues with her heart and we were reassured (for a 3rd time) that there is a girl in there!
Not that mine is a huge update or anything exciting but I had my class, which turned out to be a one-on-one with a nurse diabetic educator and a dietician. I feel like I'm on information overload. It's scary at first but after I saw how to do it, I'm not feeling as nervous. Thankfully, I had done weight watchers a few times and am a pro at reading labels, just not always following them.
And I had shot number 6, my butt hurts and is at the itching stage. Only 14 to go!
Awesome updates everyone! They are so much fun to read!
Our scan went well today! Baby is definitely a boy, and was actually grabbing at his penis during the ultrasound! It was pretty funny to see. We met with the genetic specialist after since our NT scan had a slight risk 8 weeks ago. Today they noticed a small spot on his heart and a bright spot in the top lining of his stomach. So I may have a follow-up ultrasound next week to look at that more closely.
Other than that, he looks and is measuring right on track at 20w5d and he weighs about 14oz! His little profile is so cute too!
@jmar2011, so sorry to hear about your stressful news. I hope you can find a way to relax a little until your next appt and I hope the next appt shows reassuring results. I can't imagine what you're going through.
A/S went great & we found out we are Team Pink!!! Im soo excited! We already have a little boy so this is perfect! I was so shocked that she said girl that I screamed no & started crying. The tech didn't know if I was happy or upset that it was a girl!
Re: Thursday Anatomy Scans and Appointments
For the record, I am guessing team pink so we'll see if my instincts are right!
Also, I tried to autoswype nervcited like it was a serious word. Herbivore came up.
Good luck to everyone!

My intuition was right on... I really had a feeling. I've been saying 'he' for weeks!
Other than that, baby looked great, measured about a week ahead of schedule. He's going to be a big guy!
We hopefully find out the sex today at 3:15 (Pacific time)! FX my bladder will hold with the 24 oz they want me to drink before I come in.
Congratulations @lest12 and @this2life! I'm glad your scans went well.
Good luck to the rest of you ladies; I can't wait to hear updates!
