@SupernovaJ: Congrats on your girl!

@LovelyPlum: That is the plan! I'm not going to peek. I'm pretty committed to the surprise! I'm excited for this afternoon, just seeing baby. I hope it's going to stay still for the scan! I'm feeling lots of wiggles this morning!

@PEAPIE: Lol I have been sitting here all day stalking the board waiting for your baby's gender to be revealed when I saw your last post. I'm like WTH and went back to read, and I must have missed when you said you were having a gender reveal party tomorrow!! How exciting!

I had my ob check in today, and everything looks great! The little miss was looking super cute with her legs folded in a yoga position

my next appointment is already on the list--anatomy scan on dec 9! but I also got my glucose test scheduled, for dec 31. fun way to end the year, eh?

@PEAPIE: Congratulations on your boy! I really hope that you had fun at your party!

@nana87: aww, yay. Glad she's doing well. I think my glucose challenge will be right after Christmas-they don't do it until 26 weeks at my office. But still, ugh.

@CharityAnne: it will be so soon! Excited for you

@CharityAnne: it will be here before you know it!

@nana87: glad you had a good appt and baby girl is doing well!

@LovelyPlum: @jhd: @nana87: Thanks ladies! Now I can't stop thinking about names! We have some work to do!

@megz06: that's wonderful! Both that you and baby boy are doing so well, but also it is so so nice to have a doctor who cares! I didn't really appreciate that before, but I get so tense before appointments that it's such a relief to hear the dr say positive things above and beyond the "everything is healthy" kind of comments. My dr said my baby girl is cute, and as silly as it is that means a lot to reassure me that things are going well lol

@PEAPIE: @megz06: hooray for boys!!! Wow this month has TONS of boys!

@megz06: Oh Boy! Another boy! I think boys will be fun! Glad your experience was better!

@nana87: @jhd: Thanks, ladies. It did make it that much better to have a good u/s experience. We were so miserable during our first two. She would just take her measurements and that was it. This time around, they explained what they were measuring, why they measure it, and what it does (and if it looked normal). It was fantastic to get to see that little heart beating in there as well. Our other u/s tech was always so exasperated when we asked to see the heart, like it was some big chore, and that didn't sit well with me, so MUCH better this time.

@luckypenny: @LovelyPlum: @PEAPIE: Thank you! I really thought it was going to be a little girl, lol. All the WB laides are having girls, so it's fun to go back and forth between the boards. Hopefully some TG ladies will even out our boards!

@gilmoregirl: Haha glad to hear he is still a little boy! They usually don't change the date if you are measuring within a week, but it isn't a bad idea to entertain the idea of having a March baby. I find myself thinking this could be an end of March baby since I am measuring about 5 days ahead, and he could come early. Crazy!

@gilmoregirl: yay, glad to hear that your little boy is still a boy And I understand the panic about baby coming in March...I recently realized that I actually need to think about that possibility, and I am very, very freaked out by it. I measured over a week ahead at this last u/s, but I really don't think that could be accurate at all, because I have measured on time every other measurement. I'm pretty sure I just have a really long little one.

@HazelEyes: so glad that it went well. I can't believe we're in to January appointments already. 2014 is almost here!!

@LovelyPlum: You're so good at this!

@LovelyPlum: Me too. I totally understand and respect that.

@megz06: right there with you, chica. I'll be in the third tri the week after New Year's, and from there, it's game on. Aah!!

By the way, stay warm! I hear it's freezing right now in your neck of the woods.

Just got back from a very, very long anatomy scan! Everything is most likely completely fine, but the two doctors we saw while we were there were a little concerned about her kidneys: one looks like it's a little larger than the other. They want to get a clearer view next week (I have a follow up scan scheduled now for 12/16), but they thought it might either be a) nothing--in some views it looked borderline normal, b) that baby needed to empty her bladder, in which case everything is also normal, or c) that there might be a slight obstruction. I asked about the worst case scenario and the doctor said there really wasn't any, it usually clears itself up in the womb but they just want to keep an eye on it...Of course I'm worried though!

@luckypenny: thanks! It really does seem like everything will be fine--I've been googling and it looks like worst case scenario would be conditions that are manageable with treatment. It would be much, much worse if they were worried about both kidneys instead of just one. What scares me though is that in my sil's second pregnancy, they found a fatal problem with the baby's kidneys at her 18 week scan and she lost the pregnancy...I know that this isn't as serious but it's just such a scary coincidence...
