Congrats P4P So pleased for you. I have my 12 week scan tomorrow at 13 weeks - sooooo nervous
Good luck mum23boys, hope it goes well.
Congrats P4P!
Had dinner with a friend tonight that really made me think. She's in her mid thirties and has been dating a guy for about a year but he's not being clear with his feelings and it's stressing her out. She kinda needs to know if he's the one she'll marry and have babies with etc. Clock ticking and all that. Just made me think how amazingly lucky I am to have a wonderful husband and two adorable and above all healthy little boys. I'm feeling now that either gender would be fine :)
PS my first scan is on Thurs morning - fingers crossed all's well
Hi ladies! Thanks for the congrats. We got a call from the doctor and it appears our little girl has a spot on her heart. We have to go for a level II ultrasound in Thursday. Apparently they are soft markers for Downs but since my other tests were clear they aren't too concerned. I think everything will be fine but I'm still completely worried now :-( keep us in your prayers.
congrats p4p hope it's revealed that it's nothing adn you don't worry too much.
weather here actually hit 75 in January it is pretty freakin insane and supposed to be another day like it tomorrow and then back to 30s Thurs. lol. Poor weatherman doesn't know what's going on.
I don't have any scans or anything to worry about so just me and the weather lol
Will be thinking of you! Hope all is ok and that you had a good day off!!Quote:

P4p I'm so pleased you're getting your girl! And I hope wee joelle is ok, good luck with the scan.
Mum23 I hope everything goes well for you today, you deserve some good news.
Hope everything is healthy for you too weezie. Any anyone else I've missed out.
You'll all know that my wee one passed away two weeks ago. I'm utterly devastated and in limbo now waiting for it to be passed. I want as natural a "birth" as possible, like I gave my boys and am hoping it will happen at home without the need for medical intervention. I feel bereft just now, but we will try again. At the moment the thought of going back on LE is utterly soul-destroying, part of me is tempted to say to hell with it and see what we're destined for. Like so many others here I wish I had this baby back, boy or girl, but I'm sure once I've had a chance to grieve and accept my loss I'll feel more able to face another sway attempt. This is the worst time of my life, the worst grief I've ever experienced. I hope none of you have to endure this. I'll try to keep up with you all and am hoping all your dreams come true.
Lots of love,
Emmy. X
Huge congrats on your little girl P4P....I am sure she will be just fine and as hard as it must be try not to worry too much. As the doctors say all your other tests were clear so I am sure she is completely healthy.
Best of luck with your scan mum23...will be exciting to see the little bean!
Emmyroo I am sure this must be an absolutely traumatic time for you. I can scarily imagine what you are going through. I did have bleeding and cramping in the 7th week and really thought I was losing the baby so I have a tiny idea of how you feel. I hope the baby passes naturally very soon so you can grieve, start a fresh and get on with life. The limbo must be very difficult. Thinking of you and hoping it all happens in the next few days.
p4p congrats that's lovely news, thinking of you follwoing your update I know a lot of ladies who have these type of concerns and in the end it's come in all clear hope that's the case for you xx
emmyroo- so sorry hoping you don't have to wait much longer. a friend who lost hers said it was about 2 weeks. hoping for emotional and physical peace for you- hugs-
Goodluck! Hope all is well!!Quote:

I really tried to write everyone down so hopefully I didn't miss anyone.
Mum23boys and Weezie - Sending many :pray: your way for a perfect scan!
So my level II ultrasound is tomorrow at 1:30pm EST. I have been reading up on the echogenic cardiac focus that they found and it appears that it really is nothing to worry about especially if there are no other markers for Downs. From what I read it only increases the chances of DS by 1% if there are no other markers. I think I can live with that. My daughter will be perfect no matter what.
Hi ladies all went well at the scan - Ive popped some pics on my other thread - no nub shots - i thought there was in one pic but looking at it more and having others look it looks far too high up - all in all what matters is bubs is healthy :-) I watched the screen for a good 15 mins but no clues at all.
Aww mum I am so happy to hear that your bubs is doing well in there! Bubs was active huh? I love to see them moving all around. My little lady was bringing her hands up to her face and bouncing around the whole day yesterday. The tech kept saying, "aww look at her little hands".Quote:

Anytime P4P!!! So glad you got your daughter, I feel like I am living vicariously though you ladies with baby girls hehe.Quote:

Hi, ladies! :wave: I'm so sorry to have been MIA all this time, but I have a really rough last few months. My first trimester was terrible, and then I got hit with illness THREE times within the last 6 weeks or so. I've had bacterial bronchitis and two awful sinus colds. :sigh: I am SO wiped out, but I wanted to come back here and check in with all you lovely ladies. I just tried to catch up on 10+ pages of conversation here that I've missed. Wow, a lot has happened while I've been away!
Well, I need to get the kids down for a nap now, so I'll be back later to post some more. Just wanted to pop in and say hi in the meantime! :)
Well I had another ultrasound yesterday (as I had some bad abdominal pains over the weekend and thought I might miscarry but it all settled down now but wanted to check everything is okay) and tech confirmed baby is a girl! She pointed out labia and three white lines. I thought baby was a girl. I'm having real problems believing it even though I have seen the evidence. Will wait until after 20 week ultrasound to announce to family and friends though. Just in case. I mentioned this to tech and she said, baby wasn't changing into a boy. Lol. Just got to come up with a girl name now. It's harder then I thought.
Yay Violet! We knew it was a girl from your nub shot. Well we had a good inclination that is. Sorry about the cramping but :running: about the pink news! I don't blame you for waiting. I find myself second guessing the potty shot I was given yesterday. I am pretty sure it is a girl though because every time she got a shot of the legs I looked between and there was no visible boy bits. And she checked a lot of different angles. Just the pic she gave us wasn't very clear.Quote:

I will update you ladies on Joelle's heart tomorrow.Quote:

Oh Emmy, I'm so sorry. This sounds very tough. Keep us updated, I hope things move along for you quickly. Big hugs! XXXQuote:

Emmy - I am just getting news of this now, as I have been pretty sick and absent from the boards for awhile. I am so, so sorry for your loss. :( I'm praying for peace and comfort for you. (((hugs)))
Congratulations to all the ladies with PINK news we've been having on the boards lately! I am so very happy for you all! :cheer:
cvd - I read about all the name drama you had going on (I'm so sorry about that! How annoying!) but I think it all worked out in the end because, in my opinion, Hudson is a fabulous name. And it goes really well with your DS1's name, too. :agree:
P4P - I'm praying your little girl's heart is totally fine and that the spot is nothing to worry about. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, please keep us updated!
And a big HELLO to everyone else! ;)
Again, I'm so sorry for being away from the boards so much lately. I have just been so, so sick (my whole family has). This winter season is really kicking our butts. We are constantly sick, which is so odd for us, as we're usually a fairly healthy family. Ugh. I'm finally feeling a bit better now, but I am PRAYING we don't get hit with yet another cold or flu.
As for the twins, they're doing great! :) Still a boy and a girl, although I crazily ask at *every* appointment if they don't mind checking to make sure the girl is still a girl. :rolleyes: LOL! I've literally had 5 different techs confirm girl for me, and yet I'm only 95% believing them. I'm crazy, I know. ;)
Oh, and we've also chosen names! They will be Logan and Ava. Still deciding on middle names, though.
And lastly, I had the coolest u/s tech at my last appointment. The place I go to just got brand new, very fancy u/s machines, and she was having fun playing around with all the different 3D options and gave me some really, really cool images! I wanted to share my favorite one with you guys. Unfortunately, the babies did not want to show their little faces AT ALL this time, but I still thought this shot was pretty remarkable. Ava is on the left, and Logan is on the right (putting his hand on his sister's head!)

Wow Sweetpea! That pic is amazing!!!
Sorry you have been so ill, hopefully that is it for a long time! XX
Sorry you were feeling so sick, glad you're better! And thanks :) we really love the name Hudson as well :) That picture is AMAZING, wow definitely a really fancy u/s machine! Love the names you have chosen as well, Ava was on my list if for some reason we decided not to go with Aubree hehe! Take care!Quote:

Absolutely no views of nub so we won't know gender until 25/3 at the next scan.

Violet - that's great news!
Sweetpea- hope you are feeling better now.
Maple yes I really feel that my little Joelle will be perfectly fine. I slept like a baby last night despite my doctor's appointment being today. It was just like Monday night before the anatomy scan. Didn't have one bit of anxiety as if I knew I was going to hear girl. Today I know they will tell me she is fine. How long before you find out the gender of the babies? I'm so excited for you!Quote:

I have to call and schedule my 3D/4D for Joelle but that will all have to wait until after my appointment today. Thanks for the prayers because they go a LONG way. Try to stay away from those germs sweetpea, lol. It seems that EVERYONE is getting sick during this time. Uggh I just can't wait until our spring/summer hits.Quote:
