Hi ladies! So, the appointment went very well...we were back in our city by mid afternoon as opposed to 8:30pm last time, and i was smiling the whole train ride basically 
They did the NT scan, and even though i know its not super accurate, they said everything looks good. The heart rate was 144. And they also told me that I'm measuring a full week ahead...not sure what to think about that one since I know when I ovulated (and I O a couple days later than the average, so if anything, I though I'd be a little shy of 13 weeks when they measured) but just so, so happy baby is growing!!! It was a near perfect day, but one not so good thing...they kept my weird little Chinese medical book (which had my first US pic tucked into it) and I meant to get it back from the nurse before we left, but totally forgot. I'm thinking of asking them to mail the stuff to me. I was planning to make a little scrapbook of our baby's international adventure, so I really wanted to include it!
hope&faith, great to see you back posting on this thread! It's when I feel really tired or sick that I'm not on here either. I love coming on and chatting, but I just end up being so darn tired that I can barely do the basics around the house before curling up in bed! Hope the fatigue and dizziness go away soon for you!
Oh, and I know this a long post, but one more thing...because it's pretty cute, IMO I told my kindergarten students about the baby a couple days ago (some parents had somehow figured it out, so I wanted the news to just come directly from me, instead of through school gossip). I found a story called "Our Teacher's Having a Baby" and in it, a student puts a sticker on the teacher's belly (lol, over the shirt) as a gift for the baby and the rest of the class follows suit. So I let my kids do it, and they all came up one by one and very gently put a sticker on my tummy and gave me the sweetest, most careful hug (I had told them that the baby is about the size of a peach, and they were blown away by that!) I put the stickers on a piece of paper when I got home, and will add it to the scrapbook. We also had them vote on whether they thought it would be a boy or girl...15 said girl, 4 said boy, and they were all very adamant that their guess was the right one! I promised I would send an email and a picture from Canada to let them know in December. Then they all drew a picture of me (and some made me with a see-through tummy and a baby showing inside, which cracked me up!) and then they also drew what they thought the baby would look like. The pictures are equal parts adorable and hilarious! My students this year have been a bit of a handful a lot of the time, but they melted my heart this week. I had a hard time not crying, and I realized just how much I'll miss them when I move home. Anyway, I'm really being a chatterbox today!
