Thank you guys for the support! Baby looked good. Still had a hb at 161 and the NT scan looked perfect. Did the blood draw and they had to stick me twice. :/ She lost the vein the first time. Ugh.

I will upload pics when I can. I did not see a nub the whole time. The scan was over a half hour because the baby just would not cooperate and be in the right position. I had to move all over for her to get the few measurements she did. I will try to upload pics to see if anyone will guess in the u/s forum.

This is the only good skull photo I got. I'll post a profile shortly. But it wasn't a centered profile.. baby was turned away slightly and wouldn't cooperate.

They didn't slip up and say anything about gender for me! HOWEVER... she panned down the spine for us and I'm 90% sure I saw a perfectly vertical nub! And I know it wasn't the cord cuz I saw the cord along WITH the nub!

It was also awkward cuz the nurse explained everything she was measuring and why and what everything was and he second she hit the low spine and that nub was sticking straight up, she quickly measured something on the low spine and move away and was silent while she did it lol!

Called DH after and was like "did you see anything by chance" he was like "...I mean maybe.." I was like no really I'm trying to see if we saw the same thing.. he's like "ok yes I did... when she went down the spine and you could see tummy, cord, leg and then I saw something sticking up but I just kind thought it was the other leg.." I was like HA I know second legs and I know nubs.. I'm 99% sure that was a bright white nub!

So happy for everyone's scan today looking great!
I got another one today for reassurance at 17 weeks exactly. Immediately you could tell it was a girl. I'm relieved! But honestly not allowing myself to get super excited! I imagined this moment for so long and it's crazy how calm I am. The tech asked, "are you excited??" Ha, I was thinking, lady you have NO IDEA. I think she actually thought I was sad it was a girl I was so silent!
I think once the baby is here I'll actually let myself believe I'm getting my girl.
I feel guilty for receiving this gift when I know the pain others are experiencing.
And I also feel like as soon as I get excited it will be taken away. I know those thoughts aren't necessarily healthy but it is what it is.

Either way, I'm so grateful for you ladies. I'm excited to follow our pregnancy journeys together and hope we all have happy, healthy babies!
