Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

Everything is going to be great! Hopefully your LO is more cooperative than mine. He moved and moved and moved and the sonographer had the hardest time getting pics! Then, when she needed shots of his spine, he was so exhausted he fell asleep on his back and wouldn't move for anything... She had me rollover to my side, get up on my hands and knees, get up and walk around, drink cold water... nothin. He was knocked out asleep, just like mommy does! Hehe!

That is sooo funny!!! Yeah I'm hoping LO is cooperative! I want it to just go smoothly! I'm sure everything will be fine but I can't help but worry because it's just HOW I AM!!
So cute that the baby exhausted himself and fell asleep hehehe.
 
What time is your scan??? Can you believe you made it this far already? Remember at 13 weeks it felt like sooooo far away???
 
I just had my scan and just like bubsmom the baby was moving great at first then fell asleep in a bad position we tried everything to get it going again but nothing. She said that they will schedule me for another one and hopefully it will be more cooperative, I don't mind the extra scan though :)
 
Grich - Did you find out the sex, or are you staying team yellow???
 
Oh my goodness I would be SOOSOO exited if my scan was tomorrow, we don't get to find out the sex here :( last time we paid to get an extra scan but we have just bought a house and moving in 3 weeks with so much to buy. I'm gutted I so want to just know.

Bubsmom17 I would go with a name that has meaning to you, so long as you like it, it's always going to be special.

I'm also a real worrier I just want to know things are ok with baby, or what they can tell you, I guess you don't really know until they are born :(
 
Ack, I can't believe these babies can be so uncooperative, lol!! Thank goodness Baby Bun cooperated this morning. I hold in my hand a sealed envelope containing the gender results of our baby to be delivered to the bakery for tomorrow's cake cutting! So tempting to take a peek but I won't. It'll be more fun to cut into the cake surprised. :) 29 more hours!!
 
I got the results of my scan and my genetic blood test results! I have a perfectly healthy baby! Baby has choroid plexus cysts like Danny did, but since the anatomy and blood results look excellent, no need to worry. :) So happy right now!

Let me know if you don't know what choroid plexus cysts are. I'm sure some of you do, though.
 
Basically they are little cysts that form in the portion of the brain that makes spinal fluid. The cysts themselves are benign, but can be a soft marker for Trisomy 18, or Edwards Syndrome. They have to tell you about them because there is a soft link to chromosomal abnormalities, but since there was no other indication of such issue, the cysts are nothing to worry about.

Sometimes parents hear "cysts" and "brain" and freak out (like we did with Danny), but if you really evaluate the actual chances of something being wrong, it is really negligible. Te geneticist even told me some people have them their whole lives and never even know about them.

1pm Central Time!!! OMG i know I can't believe almost 7 weeks have flown by. They seemed to have crawled at one point now they are flying by like it's nothing. ACK!!! hahaha

I don't know what the cyst thing is. of course I can google it! lol
 
So I really have to share this wacky dream with someone. Hopefully it will make someone laugh, because I have been laughing about it all day.

So in my dream DH and I lived next door to some guy I worked with (In real life this guy doesn't exist). Well we walk home together and he starts whining that he really wants a blow j*b. For some reason I felt bad for him, so I was like, sure why not? So I do it.

Then later on I'm talking to my DH, and I was like, "Oh yeah, I gave so-and-so a blow j*b." And he was like, "Why did you that??? Why would you do that? That guy? Really???" Then I started to feel really bad, like it suddenly hit me that that wasn't a cool thing to do, and how awkward it would be since we lived next door to each other. AND in my dream it turns out this guy used to bully DH, just to add insult to injury.

Meanwhile, we are having a cooking competition at our house, and I have to like, break open a sh*t load of clams, and I have a huge of stack of salmon that I have to fillet! I had to just keep filleting and filleting an filleting! LOL!!! I have never filleted a fish in my life!!!

WTF???
 
lolol bubs...that's so wacky! do you have the desire to eat some fish now? Haha! ;)
also, thanks for explaining the cysts! Idk, either. I bet you feel fine about it since like you said danny had them and we all know he's more than perfect. What a character, haha. I want a girl, but hearing his stories makes me ok with having a rambunctious little man! :p
As for names, I agree with others...francesco or james!

Garden and angel, so excited for the scan results. Don't leave us hanging too long ;)

afm, the 48 hr migraine (second one in a week! I'm over it :mad: ) seems to be subsiding. After multiple tylenol doses, lots of soup, and a cappuchino, heh. Have an appt wed at 2pm est, and today I become an avocado!

Oh quickly a silly story. My friend is obsessed with pregnancy and pregnant women (she hadn't had any if her own yet, she's just always been like this lol). Anyway, she keeps track of my pregnancy almost more than I do...and said to her fiance yesterday, "lesley will be 4 months tomorrow!!!" And her fiance responds, "oh, that's nice. A quarter of the way there..."
Uhhhh :O !!!!!! lol I certainly hope I am not preg for 16 months! Haha
 
Ahaha! One quarter of the way there... No one would want to get pregnant if it lasted that long!

Maybe I was dreaming of fish cuz I bought Danny a goldfish. Or cuz I want sushi so bad... Sigh...
 
Bubs, dreams are driving me insane, too. The other night I was dreaming something really stupid (can't even remember what it was now), and it woke me at about 4am, so I went to pee hoping that I'd wake up enough so that when I went back to sleep I'd dream something else. NO! That dumb dream kept on until 7am when I finally woke up for good! UGH.
 
lol Bubs...crazy!

babymonkey - certainly hope it doesn't last 16 months!! lol. Gender reveal isn't until 6pm PST so I'll post it asap but will be late tomorrow... :(

I've had the craziest dreams too...and I can't seem to sleep between 1-3am! And then when DD wakes at 7, I'm exhausted! UGH.
 
haha garden, of course we are not a priority to tell...enjoy your reveal gathering and let us know when you have time. I am just trying to emphasize my excitement for you :D
 
Bubs, that is so funny I had a good laugh at the part where you were freaking out because maybe what you did was not cool. :haha:

I have had many a strange dream. I seem to be fighting a lot of wars and battles though, not sure why. :shrug: One time I was going to fight this war with the cast from harry potter at my parents house. They were all on brooms and right as our enemy pulled up in boats on the lake, in wooden armor?? I freaked out cause my cat was dying at the vet and I couldn't be there because of the stupid war. So I pleaded with the wooden armor people to let me go save my cat and asked for money to help pay for it. they gave me money I went on my way and I pretty sure my cat lived. Then it morphed into me going to some town in a space ship to help save these werewolf people......its so confusing. I think maybe I should stop reading and watching movies before bed.

Anywho I have a midwife app. on Wed. at 2pm, get to hear the heartbeat, so pumped!! Then hopefully we can schedule our scan after that and find out the sex!!! trying to calm down and relax instead of freak out, hopefully some Florence will help.
 
Pregnancy dreams are no joke! So many mornings I just wake up like very confused...
 
haha garden, of course we are not a priority to tell...enjoy your reveal gathering and let us know when you have time. I am just trying to emphasize my excitement for you :D

Lol, I know! I'm bummed I have to wait ALL DAY LONG to find out!! I want to know NOW!! The envelope with the gender is in my car....tempting! And I'm picking up the cake at 11am tomorrow, tempting!! Lol. Oh and the lady who took the order for a cake didn't seem to understand the point of a gender reveal being a surprise even though I kept telling her I didn't want to know. I'm pretty sure she wrote the color frosting to be used on my receipt and handed it to me. I didn't look, I just folded it uo and stuffed it in my wallet. But all of it is so tempting!!!!
