16 weeks

I feel like I've been this big for months!! At least I've stayed like this and not gotten progressively bigger. I would be huge! Things have been pretty boring. That's a good thing. I feel the baby on occasion but I'm still pretty early. We can't seem to pin down the name for the baby. We have never had this problem before. Maybe we've been out of baby naming practice for so long. Anyway I have my anatomy scan in 3 weeks so that will be fun. I just can't wait for summer break so I can sleep in. 

15 weeks

I'm 15 weeks and it seems to be going so fast. I'm feeling pretty good aside from the regular sleeping disturbances. I have felt the baby a little more this week. I have an appointment tomorrow and I'll see when we will do the big ultrasound. So it's been a pretty good week. 

NT scan

What an ordeal!!!!! So last Wednesday I had the first trimester screening that calculates your risks for Down syndrome and other chromosome problems. During the ultrasound they couldn't see the nasal bone which is a marker for downs. Then the blood work came back with increased risks. I was stressed for sure. I went back for a repeat ultrasound. I talked to the high risk dr and she said that my blood work came back normal and the one test that was causing problems was taken too early. So my risk went down right then. She had me get another ultrasound and the tech found the nasal bone right away. Things are looking so much better and I'm no longer high risk for chromosome issues. Just incase I got a test that will say for sure and we will know what the gender is 100%. We have a pretty good idea though. 

14 weeks

I'm 14 weeks and feeling pretty good. I feel baby once in a while but not that much. I'm not growing that much in the tummy. I still listen to the baby every day and will do so until I feel regular movement. Not much to report until my ultrasound.
