So....we had our NT scan today! They had told me to drink 16oz of water on the way to the office, and then it was 1/2 hour before they took me, so...you ladies know what THAT felt like! But the little one is in there, with a great HB, and this was the first time he/she really looked human!!! We got some nice profile shots, and then he/she turned to face us with his/her arms up by the face. It was cute--in a clingon-looking sort of way! Anyway, the NT measurement was perfect--.8mm--and the doctor told me he wanted to bump up my due date by FIVE days, which I protested b/c there's no way. That would have meant that I o'ed on day 5 of my cycle. Um, no. DH wasn't even IN TOWN on day 5. Hee hee. Anyway, we compromised b/c he said measurements depend on how stretched out or curled up the baby is, and mine was wiggly. So...I thought 12w1day, he thought 12w6day, so we went with 12w3day. Which moves my EDD to Christmas Eve!
This might just feel a little more real now. Although it's still wild that there's something in me that looks so human, and moves, and I can neither feel nor see him or her! We have a hospital tour next week, and I think maybe now I will start to relax a bit.
Hope you ladies are having a good day! I know I am!

Congrats, Wendy!
I'm so glad your NT scan went so well Wendy!
Hello Wendy,
I am beyond happy that everything was looking so good for you and your little baby! I hope you enjoy touring the hospital. Yay for the great scan!!!!
Wendy,
I'm glad you got such good results! That must have been a relief - and it's so cool to be able to see the baby in more detail. :-) Enjoy that tour next week!

Wendy,
I'm glad you had such a great scan!! I know when I first saw the baby and it looked like a baby, with little arms and legs, and not a little blob, it definitely felt more real for me.
