This and That

I finally called the doctor's office regarding the results of the NT scan. The nurse told she has a "no news is good news" policy but I had been told, specifically, to expect a call so I worried for 2 weeks for nothing. Oh well. The only thing that matters is that the baby looked good. Someone pointed out that because the results of such a test are not positive/negative, it is odd to have that policy for that particular test but digress...

Today I bought two pairs of maternity pants from Old Navy. Ordinarily I despise Old Navy and think their clothes are crap, but in this instance the sale prices were decent and I was able to locate 2 pairs of pants that fit. The 4 pounds I had gained has miraculously disappeared, much to my delight. It seems like though my belly is growing, the rest of me is not. I'm glad for that! All this to say, I fit into the smaller size I was sporting pre-pregnancy but I purchased 1 size up as a precaution so that I could get my money's worth. My middle name should've been "cheap" because that is exactly what I am!

What A Difference A Few Days Make!

I was still on the fence about getting the NT scan as of this morning but by the time I got around to showering it was a mere 3 hours prior to the appointment and since they are so hard to come by, I felt it would be inconsiderate and unprofessional to cancel so close to the appointment. I also chalked it up to another chance to see the Puerto Rican Jumping Bean.

Here is a picture of the baby sucking its thumb (it is more obvious on the hard copy):



Here is a picture of it waving:



Here is a picture of it kicking its feet:



The Puerto Rican Jumping Bean still vaguely resembled an alien just last Wednesday so it is miraculous to me how quickly it is looking like a "real" baby!

P.S. Can everyone please cross their fingers it doesn't get my nose? That would not be cute! Rob has a much better nose!

Nuchal Translucency Screening

Did you moms out there do the NT scan? I am really torn and need to decide by Monday because that is when I am scheduled to do it. Obviously I wouldn't be terminating if anything shows up, but my doctor said it is good to be prepared for what may happen during and after birth.

I would really, really appreciate your thoughts on this. I am literally on the fence about 60/40.
