Morgan I am so excited for you! This little bean is sticking around, mark my words!
 
I could only HOPE for a boy! DH wants a girl. And so do my mom and Gma. I guess a little princess would be fabulous too ;)

I think this is the best part, not knowing and just getting to daydream of that sweet little face! I can't wait to find out. It will be right before DH's bday (Thanksgiving day/Steelers!), since we will be on vacation. I will be 18 weeks by then. And then sometime during the winter, when I am about to burst, we will get a 3D. So baby will be nice and chunky by then, and we can use our sneak preview pic in baby shower invites. Lol if you can't tell I have this all down! I still feel 30 weeks preggo, it was not so long ago. I just can't believe God is gracious enough to bless us with another little bean so soon. Oh I am so thankful. Proud mama rant over :)

And thanks Emily I sure hope so!!

Great link to make a printable pregnancy calendar (make sure you pick that one).
Just printed mine for the fridge! :)

(and WOW, didn't know this. I am now in the 3rd month of pregnancy at 8 weeks, that is crazy! Lol good thing I was still TTC crazy for the first month!! ;))
 
definitely people have them done all the time. but in my case, if something happened or was wrong when baby was born, i'd never forgive myself if i had a ton of scans and always wonder if it could've been something like that. And they always do all kinds of things that can cause risks- they still do it. like vaccines and things- you know that's a huge debate too. We still do them, but i can't help being uneasy when i get the paper immediately afterward with possible reactions and under severe it says 'in rare cases can cause brain damage.'

so i just do the minimal just to be safe.

^Awwwwwwww so big! <3 <3 <3

I have a 9w1d scan on the 23rd.

Jeeeez girls we are just zooming right along aren't we?!?! :)
 
Welp, the way I see it is that the right doctor isn't going to let any mother do anything in excess of what's good for baby and mommy. In my case, after the loss of our first LO at 7 weeks, with a perfectly normal scan at 6 weeks but not finding out our baby was dead until the next scan 12 weeks there's no way I can sanely go until 12 weeks again. If i had known something was wrong, and I had found out earlier last time, DH and I would have a lot less time to "bond" with the baby and the pregnancy. An extra scan at 9+4 is worth it to us to not lose our minds thinking we are doomed to experience repeated early loss.

In cases like Morgan, she's bleeding and it's causing her a great amount of distress. There's been times when she's had trouble eating/sleeping and none if that is good for mommy or baby either. Shes already lost one full term baby this year and im sure that the thought of possibly losing another is terrifying to her. So, if peace of mind means an extra scan, oh well!

Rachel had had a handful of scans bc it took them quite some time to concieve their LO and she was in the care of a fertility specialist who confirmed the pregnancy and did scans and then she was handed off to her OB/GYN who does their own scans at the appropriate times. Being a nurse, I'm very hesitant to believe she would agree to anything beyond what she thinks is safe for her and her baby.

I'm a prenatal geneticist and have never issued/heard of/received a disclaimer at any scan with any kind of side effects or possibility of brain damage and I work directly with Yale New Haven Hospital whos Obstetrics team is one of the top rated in the country and who,I'm sure, would cover their buns from any kind of possible malpractice issue involving consequences of ultrasound.

To each their own.

Omgggg, look at that!!! So awesome, Rachel!!! Was the baby wiggling around at all?? I'm going with a little girl for you lady!! You must have been so happy to see how much s/he has grown!! Does DH get all crazy amazed by the changes?? My DH has no medical experience and it totally blows his mind to see stuff like that!!
 
Kara during our ultrasound today, you know where they change the setting to show the blue/red bloodflow? Well there was a little beating heart red and blue and DH just blurted "WOW! I just CAN't believe that!"

It was cute, he was genuinely amazed lol. It is so amazing what a difference a week can make. 2 weeks ago they couldn't see a thing, then last week a blob, and now a babe! So awesome. Def the coolest. thing. EVER! Lol.

And I like your explanation. I would def hope doc wouldn't expose us to things that could cause brain damage. There are low risks to everything. Gotta take some to live! :)

Haha!! Things like that are exactly what I'm talking about!! We've never got to the point where they switch over or seen any of the blood flow or 3D so we are SO excited for that!! My nephew was born with a cleft palate so well be having an extra detailed facial scan done, OMG I can't wait to see that little baby!!
 
He just sits there and smiles lol. In the wr, he loudly said, "what kind of dr is this??? This doesn't look like a normal office?!" Lmao We couldn't help but laugh bc the wr was full. So funny

Haha!! DH will always pretends he's the doctor when the doctor leave the room to let you undress. Always makes me laugh and lightens the mood!! :)
 
Lmao DH's are funny.. Mine opens every drawer and cabinet waiting for the doc like a 12 year old!!

Anyone having issues with being a raging b***h, then sobbing after, and happy 20 mins later? Lol my hormones are killing me. I feel so bad for him.

Like my road rage has been the worst, idiots driving recklessly around my bean. I am a flipper-offer. LOL
 
I couldn't tell if it was moving or not. My OB puts it on a big screen so it was like we were watching tv. I'm going back in 2 weeks for my 12 week scan but not doing a nt scan bc we talked about it and kinda decided it won't change the outcome for us. My OB reassured us too and said its really all about how we feel about the outcome. I'll have a 12 week scan, then 20 week for anatomy. See him every 4 weeks. DH has to get his blood checked for rh factor bc I'm a-
