Nuchal Scan

So far so good.  Baby is doing fine from what I could tell.

I lost 1.2 pounds overnight.  No, I am not trying to lose weight.  It is just a side effect of a high protein diet.

7 more weeks until the anatomy scan.  I don't want to know the baby's gender until it is born.  With all the technology used to get me pregnant I want something in good in this pregnancy to be a surprise.


The reason why no photos are given out at this scan is because too many ladies were just booking the scan to get photos and didn't go through with the blood work and second scan.  Yes, they ruined it for the rest of us.  The tech said as she was leaving the room that I could take a photo of the still that she left up on the screen.  So glad I brought my tablet with me.  I send J a photo of our baby as soon as I got home.

So if you don't want to see the baby turn your head now because I'm going to post a photo of the still left on the screen.

Not the best picture but hey it is a picture and I know that the baby is quite alive for today at least.

Testing

Tomorrow is the Nuchal Translucency Scan and I turn in a jug of pee.  What an exciting life I live.  I get to collect all my urine for 24 hours and bring it in to the lab.  Yay me!  Look everyone I can pee!

I won't be posting photos from the scan as they had me sign a paper stating that I know they won't be giving me photos.  Boo!

I doubt if I plead with them I'll get a photo.  I doubt  I can guilt them into a photo either when I tell them J is deployed.  It is an Army hospital, they've heard it all.

Still weigh the same.  After weighing myself I weighed the cat.  He has gained 0.4 pounds and now weighs 15.8 pounds.  So no worries about him not eating enough while J is gone!

Still having some nausea.  Still having fatigue though I think some of it might be from boredom.  The cat just can't communicate as well as my husband so I get bored.

That is my update at 13 weeks 2 days.
