sorry i have not written in ages. being pregnant combined with moving across the country has been more than i thought to handle. the good news is that we are all snug in oregon. we got a wonderful 1BR to start us out. it is in a wonderful walkable neighborhood and the weather has been beautiful.
on tuesday we went to our 12 week ultrasound and really got to see our baby. it was amazing. baby was moving around like crazy. started out face down but eventually turned and gave us great pictures. tomorrow i go public and sunday i will officially be out of my first trimester. we got the results from our NT scan and they were wonderful. 1 in 4000 chance of Downs (down from 1 in 200 for a 25 year old) and a 1 in 10,000 chance of trisomy 18.
i am sturggling to drink more water. i just already have to pee so often that it is not pleasant. but i love my new doctor. i have been dealing with an insurance mess that i hope is cleared up by the idiot rep soon. gonna be over 700 a month for my cobra but i only need it for 6 or 7 more months. yeesh.
anyway things feel blessed and surreal and amazing over here. i am already showing and loving this baby so much. everyone thinks i am having a boy. i always wanted a boy for many years. it would be wonderful but i really don't care either way and for some reason i have a sneaking suspicion i am having a little girl. maybe it's the fact that my husband is convinced it might be a boy and i always thought i wanted a boy but feel perhaps i am meant to mother a little girl. i just can't wait to meet this little girl or boy. we will be able to find out in about 4-8 weeks. so exciting!
