Hello, lovely ladies!!! I hope you all had a terrific holiday season! I was pretty lazy and don't feel a BIT guilty about it. As a teacher, my 2 weeks of yoga pants and no make-up ended today.
The ONE thing making me actually look forward to going back to school this week... my anatomy scan tomorrow!!! I'm so pumped- I haven't seen my LO since about 10 1/2 weeks. I've never had a 19 week ultrasound before. Cue the worries in the back of my PGAL brain fighting their way forward, reminding me of the sadness that has accompanied me as I've been that ultrasound room. NO MORE!! That room is now my happy place!!! (power of positive thinking) Besides praying, repeating the mantras, and reminding myself that the flutters I'm feeling are a great sign, my greatest defense against the worries... the AMAZINGLY SUPPORTIVE women here at PGAL!! You've gotten me through each milestone thus far with your positive energy and well wishes, and so I'm addicted!

Thanks, as always, in advance for your support as I count down the hours (14.5) until my appointment!!

UPDATE: Thank you for all the thoughts and well wishes!!
Our little girl got a healthy report from the ultrasound tech! 
It was amazing to see how detailed the scan gets with exploring all of the little body parts. She's measuring at about 11 ounces and at the 54th percentile. We did get to see her 3D, but even though mom's a photographer, she wasn't very cooperative for pictures! She had her face buried in the placenta and was completely snuggled up to it! If I can figure out how to put a picture up from my phone, I'll do that. Thanks again for thinking of us today- I feel truly blessed to have such a great support system here!
