Had my 12 week check-up today and everything is going GREAT! The baby's heart rate was 150 (no pictures this time either, they just did the doppler), my blood pressure was really good, and no weight gain.
Now for my appointment on Thursday.....the big one!!!! I didn't have this test last time so I am very nervous about it. It's at 11:00, so at least I don't have to sit and worry about it all day!
I hope to get some good pictures at that appointment, we'll see.
So, until Thursday.....
Oh, I have been researching some cameras on line so we are probably going to purchase one in the next few days and then I can actually get some pictures of The Face!

So glad that the baby is doing well. That is fantastic news!!
And, by the way, I remember now having this test done you are having done on Thursday. I don't know why I was drawing a blank on it. I believe it is a blood test and ultrasound. (I believe it looks as 3 different things if I am remembering correctly.) Welcome to the over 35 and pregnant club. Lots of extra fun tests they put you through that make you nervous. I would like to tell you not to worry, but you will until you know. But try to keep in mind it is just a routine test and the chances of anything being wrong are minimal. Also, with Kate the test showed me at high risk for birth defects and as you can clearly see, she is just great!
Let us know how it goes.

I had the "test". It's ultrasound and blood, as Gayle says. If it's the one I'm thinking of but for some reason I thought I did the test later, like around 16 weeks. US results are immediate, you have to wait a week or so for blood. It will tell you chances for some of the major genetic issues. It does suck, and the results are what they are. If your risk is elevated they'll talk to you about amnio and then you'll have to make a decision about that. Mine came back elevated for downs and I was able to do a subsequent blood test and additional US which helped bring the "odds" down to what would be normal for my (old) age. I didn't want to do amnio so this was a good alternative that helped put my mind at ease. Give me a call or drop an e-mail if you want to talk about it or have any questions
Sucks about the camera! However, your last e-mail had me cracking up. "cranky beeaaatch" tee hee.. Your appointment will be fine, think positive.
