So I guess I will go ahead and get us started this morning.
How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was good, pretty uneventful. I lazed around a lot, I am still unfortunately battling this cold/post nasal drip thing which I just can't seem to shake. Thankfully today I do feel better but it seems to come and go so we'll see if later this week it returns!
I had my NT u/s this morning. The technician said everything looked good and there were no red flags based on the u/s. Of course we still need to wait for the blood test results (will get those Thursday) but so far so good :0) I didn't even ask for specific numbers. I don't want anything to obsess over, she said everything is okay so I am going with that. I get too anxious as it is, I know you all know what I mean!
Vandana, Did you get your blood tests rests yet for your NT scan?
Katie, I can't believe you all got your tree and are x-mas decorating already! That is awesome! We are so slow, we probably won't start for another two weeks.
I am starting to feel like I need to do some clothes shopping soon too, not yet maternity clothes but some elastic waists or something to accomodate my growing tummy. I have looked around a bit but can't find anything that looks nice and would work. I would love to just skip straight to maternity clothes, that seems easier!
Leanna's news is truly awful. I can't imagine what she is going through. I feel so terrible for her and her family. No one should have to go through that. I was feeling pretty good that I am so close to the end of the 1T but her story is a terrible reminder that we won't truly be out of the woods until that little one is safe and sound in our arms.
Kathy, Glad you have joined the chat and your m/s is not too bad! You know with my 1st pregnancy (when I miscarried) I had some 'weird' feelings that I have not had this time. The 1st time I started getting really, really bad anxiety (nearly feeling like panic attacks) when I was about 6 weeks along. I actually had anxiety so bad that I started documenting it so I could speak to the doctor about it. Then at 9 weeks we found out there was no hb and the baby had stopped growing. Would you believe the baby stopping growing at 6wks 2 days, EXACTLY the first day that I started recording these panic attack symptoms. I can't help but believe they are somehow related (my body was reacting to something going wrong with the baby or something like that). This time around I have had NO anxiety symptoms like that, which gives me a good feeling. Anyway, your backache story reminded me of that :0)
Katie, Good luck on your NT scan tomorrow. Give us an update as soon as you can!
Vandana, Even without specific numbers I am still sort of obsessing - the tech said that the NT was very thin (of course a good thing in terms of Down's) but then I start wondering what if it's TOO thin!!! How crazy am I??!?! Thank goodness I don't have those numbers, then I would be really obsessing...
I'm here - just super busy at work. It makes the days go by fast, but it is a little stressful too........The good news is I really don't care (it sounds bad, but oh well) If I did care about the work goings on - I would be extremely stressed and I don't need that!
Baby is good after my freak out yeaterday :) My doppler will be here tomorrow so I can "self-medicate" with a doppler check whenever I do that again.
My next appointment is in 2 weeks and my u/s is Jan 15. We are not finding out the sex even though my DH really wants to know. He'll survive.
Based on the OWT - it's a girl. ;0
Glad everyone is doing ok! I guess this is my last 1T chat because it's on to the 2T next week! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone!

Hi girls.
Our Thanksgiving was good.
Katie, I can't believe you all got your tree and are x-mas decorating already! That is awesome! We are so slow, we probably won't start for another two weeks.

Michelle,
Don't give me too much credit with the tree.
Good Morning Ladies!
Well, I made it through another week! The morning sickness is starting to kick in, though.

Hi ladies :).
I will start by saying how jealous I am that all of you had Thanksgiving.
Kathy, Glad you have joined the chat and your m/s is not too bad! You know with my 1st pregnancy (when I miscarried) I had some 'weird' feelings that I have not had this time. The 1st time I started getting really, really bad anxiety (nearly feeling like panic attacks) when I was about 6 weeks along.

Again, I have to vote that Michelle is the smartest one around here for not getting those numbers.
I'm here - just super busy at work. It makes the days go by fast, but it is a little stressful too........The good news is I really don't care (it sounds bad, but oh well) If I did care about the work goings on - I would be extremely stressed and I don't need that!
