    How far along are you? 
    19 weeks. Still can't believe I am almost halfway done. 
    How big is baby? 
    A mango
    Appointments this week?
    Nope, not until next week - anatomy scan on Wednesday. Alternating between excitement and fear for that appointment. 
    Symptoms?
    Nausea is much better so I think I am going to try going off the diclegis again this week and see what happens. Also (TMI Warning!) started getting a lot more discharge in the past week or so. It's still clear/white as it was before, there is just more of it. It freaked me out at first but it seems normal (according to Dr. Google). Anyone else?
    Rant/Rave/Questions?
    Rant - I just want this pregnancy to feel real. I am really struggling lately.
    Question - has anyone had family (other than their partner) come with them to the anatomy scan? My mom knows I am super scared and she wants to come, along with my husband. I asked my OB's office and they said I can bring whoever I want (their ultrasound room is pretty big). I really want her there, but I am scared that we will get bad news and it will upset her. However, this is somewhat irrational, because even if we were to get bad news, I would tell her immediately anyway. What do people think?
    GTKY: What was your favorite subject in school?
    Math all the way. I loved math as a kid, and I was in math league in high school - I was a pretty big nerd :) In college I majored in Finance/minored in Math. I love logic and rules and formulas. Probably why I am not a fan of pregnancy and all of these unknowns.

    @kitkat8387 I have been having crazy amounts of discharge this whole pregnancy. I don't remember it being this much with DS, but yes, it is normal. Also, I say bring your mom! We took my boys to our elective sex ultrasound. Do you have a reason to believe something may be wrong? Or is it just an irrational fear? Honestly, if having your mom there makes you more comfortable, I say bring her.

    @KirstinH88 just an irrational fear due to my anxiety. Everything so far has looked great. Thanks for the advice!

    How big is baby? square box of tissues

    Appointments this week? Had one yesterday, hence the last post.  I went through with the amnio.  The sequential screen came back with a 1/10 chance of Down Syndrome.  The QNatal came back with a 1/10000 chance.  I wasn't comfortable with the huge difference between the tests and needed something definitive so I can stop worrying and start planning if needed.

    Symptoms? Just peeing myself when I cough.  Hopefully this thing will be on it's way out sooner than later.  I'd like to be healthy for my birthday.

    Rant/Rave/Questions? I think it's insane that more than half the tests I've gone through have a 10 day turnaround for results.  I have to wonder if that's like an industry standard.

    GTKY: What was your favorite subject in school?  I had a really cool law class in high school where we watched movies twice a week.  I also had a non-traditional gym class I loved where we went hiking, biking, and canoeing for half the semester, then played team building games the rest of the semester.

    @kitkat8387 One thought I have for you - have you asked your husband?  I have a friend that included her mom in everything and afterwards her husband said he felt useless because her mom "stood in" for him.  Since your starting a family together it would be nice to get his feedback.  If he's comfortable with her being there, I say go for it.  The more support the better.

    @pammasu0909 that is great advice. I did ask him and he's happy for her to come. His parents are not very involved in our lives and I think he appreciates that my mom is so interested and will be so much help when we have this baby. I think I'm going to have her come after thinking about it some more. It will be a fun way for her to connect with the baby before it's born, and if anything were to be wrong, I would tell her immediately after the appointment anyway.

    @pammasu0909 I'm also super jealous of your non- traditional gym class in school!! We didn't have anything like that and it made me HATE gym because I wasn't athletic (in the competitive sports sense). Took me years as an adult to realize I love being outdoors and exploring, just not competing!
