Hi Everyone, I would love to join the group as well. I'm 30 years old and this is my first pregnancy. My due date is the 1st March and we are really excited. So far we are on team yellow - but curiousity is slowly driving me crazy and I might find out (if my OH lets me lol)

I had my 20weeks scan and am over the moon that everything seems in perfect order after a little scare during my NT scan.

Congratulations to all the other March Mummies! I look forward chatting to you all during the next few months

Welcome zuko1970 and cleopatra Hope everyone had a lovely weekend xx

I did, thank you and hope you did too!

Despite it being cold, rainy/sleeting/snowy most of the time I had a wonderful weekend and to top it off, I went out with a girlfriend yesterday afternoon to indulge in dessert for lunch: pumpkin lava cake. Mmm! It's sooo good but they only have it on the menu during the fall.

PS: Welcome to all the newcomers and glad to hear things are going well for you all!

Ooooo Pumpkin Lava Cake sounds delicious!! I dont think I have ever actually ate pumpkin...maybe when I was younger but I dont remember the taste. Is it a bit like butternut squash or carrot? xx

Pumpkin's like butternut squash, but the cake definitely has a 'carrot cake' type of flavor about it, with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg etc. Then there's the caramel, and the ice cream, and the whipped cream....Utterly decadent!

hey guys!! we're on team blue!!! hows everyone doing???

Huge Congrats from me as well!!!

I have been through some rather bad days. After our anomaly scan on wednesday I was anticipating the results from my doctor on Friday, but never once did I think anything would/ could be wrong. Turns out our little guy has a cyst in his brain - which in itself is apparently not a big deal at all. Yet the words cyst and brain don't go well together.

Those cysts are considered soft markers for Trisomie 18/ 21. The radiologist however said since anything else is perfectly fine (and there are other soft markers such as heart anomalies that speak a lot clearer) and often those cysts are just a part of normal cell growth and will disappear around before week 30. Needless to say I was still freaked out over the weekend. My doctor called me again yesterday to reassure everything is fine and they hate having to tell people this since in most cases it worries people for no reason - but it is their guidelines. Bottom line is the fact that my triple test came back with a well below average risk makes it very unlikely that anything is wrong. Sigh....I am just calming down now. Kinda emotionally exhausted.

Awwww hun, hope everything is ok with baby and you arent too stressed, that must be horrible for you

Aww Julchen, I'm sorry to hear that. In the other cases where I have heard about this, usuallly nothing is wrong at all. I hope that's just the case with you and your LO!

Things are...ok here. OH is job hunting, and we are hoping against hope that he gets the job he applied for at Sprint since they have excellent benefits and he will be allowed to insure me even though we aren't married. So Fingers XD that he gets it. Actually, fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes and teeth crossed. We need him to find work soon!
