Yaayyy molly soo happy for u...im sure u must b sooo relieved...cant wait for mine next wednesday...:wacko:

NIkki like rachel said ur old drs a dick...and so happy tht ur able to get a control on everything...relax and enjoy your pregnancy :flower:

Amanda too bad you're having a toough time dealing with this but as u have only said ur frend must surely b stressed out and not able to think straight..mayb u can just send her congratulations mess and mayb thtll remind her about u or she just wants and needs time by herself :flower:
 
Emily-No, they didn't offer me one. Maybe I should ask about it. I'd really like to see them again before the gender scan!
Thanks about the laboring at home too. I'm going to roll with the punches and see how my body handles carrying twins. I hope I'm able to do that though :)

Rachel-lol about eating the air. I have blueberry muffin mix...I might have to make some now! I barely ate anything yesterday bc I felt so bad. I'm feeling slightly better today and have a little bit of an appetite back, so I might as well take advantage of it!

Julie definitely ask. In California insurance companies usually offer since the chromosomal testing can be subsidized by the state. So I am not sure how it works where you live, but it is definitely worth asking about!
 
Julie I'm surprised your doc didn't mention it along with the first tri genetic screening. We opted out of both and I'm pretty sure neither were covered by my insurance. We have state insurance since we are both state employees. It's pretty good for the most part but not as good as others I've had in the past. When we went last week they gave us info on the second tri screening which is just bloodwork (quad screening) but we are undecided if we are going to do it.

On another food note...I just made red lobster cheddar biscuits....delicious. I am Betty Crocker today
 
Oh and someone (maybe Rachel?) asked if I was going to co-sleep.
We don't co-sleep, but we use a Pack n' Play and baby sleeps in the bassinet right next to me. Danny was in it for 4 or 5 months before he got too big for it and moved to the crib. It'll probably be the same for this one.

We got the crib built this weekend! We are *this* close to having the boy's room finished! Yay!
 
Julie- technically it was 20 weeks when I did gender. But since grandma was in town at 16.5 weeks I wanted to show her an ultrasound, so we did a private one and found out gender then.
 
Molly-yayyyy for a little baby!!

Rachel-lol!! You're on a roll girl!! Martha Stewart style!!

Just came home to my doppler and DH and I found what we think was baby fairly quickly! Does anyone else's read lower than what you think the hb really is?? I'm not worried bc i don't think it's the most high tech gadget lol but the hb was 130ish. Lower than what I would have expected but definitely different than mine, bc DH was taking my pulse at the same time.
 
Oh and Julie- I would definitely call...it's weird for them to not have at least offered you the NT scan and first trimester screen, I figured you had just opted out of it. They may not have mentioned bc sometimes they don't do it in the office. For my old OB and the OB I have to go to a division of the hospital for the scan/testing.
 
Okay-the 120-130 was not right. I googled and it said that's probably just bowel sounds or placenta or background and that's what the doppler defaults to :)

Sooooo I tried again for a minute and found a very different sound and the screen read 160-170...got it!! Hehe
 
Hey ladies, just wanted to pop in with the new ttc thread!

Trick or treat, Baby feet, Give me some chubby cheeks to eat
 
I opted out of all that testing when I was pregnant. I didn't want to know and worry about it for 6 months.. it's not like termination or anything was an option in our hearts or minds so we waited it out. :) To each their own!
 
I already told my doc I don't want anything that is invasive (amniocentesis, etc) and that it doesn't matter if they have down syndrome or something like that bc I wouldn't terminate anyway. I don't need them poking around in there, the babies will do that enough on their own! lol
 
I was offered an amino bc of the previous trisomy 16 and opted out too. I told her we will evaluate that after the first trimester screen, hopefully everything comes up clear!

Lol!! Four baby hand and feet!! Oh my!! That's just going to be so cool Julie! I can't even imagine feeling one baby yet!! So exciting!
 
Holy moly, I just logged in to my Countdown My Pregnancy and it says I am 26% of the way to my due date! I mean wow, over a quarter of the way there? And in 2 weeks (12 wks) I will be in my FOURTH month! WTF. As you all were saying, time really flies. Esp when you don't really "feel" pregnant yet (minus the ALL-DAY sickness, still :/). Can't wait to have my baby bump.. to feel those little jabs.. and to just get to hold my little bear all day at my desk, knowing he/she is safe and sound in their mama vessel! :)
 
I definitely miss being pregnant! Loved having little guy kicking me all day. COOLEST. THING. EVER.
 
Morgan can you link that countdown to pregnancy again?
 
Yeah, I'm sure having 2 of them kick I will never get any sleep! lol I will take the kicking and associated pains over ms anyday. I keep trying to read with the kids or even talk to the kids and I have to stop midsentence so I don't throw up. I am so thankful to be pregnant, but this part sucks! lol
 
Molly I'm not sure if you mean the actual countdown to pregnancy or the calendar, so here's both. So fun to play around with! :)

I don't think I would get tested either unless it was something awful. But I have to be pregnant first :haha:
