Nuchal Scan and 12-Week Ultrasound Pics!

This morning, we had our NT scan - a scan to assess indicator's for Down's Syndrome, notably the nasal bone and the nuchal fold measurement. Thankfully, it went great! Nasal bone was present, and the nuchal thickness was 1.3, which the tech said was thin and a great number. Waiting for bloodwork confirmation next week, but I feel confident with the results!

The NT scan is always a no-brainer for me because a.) I like to be informed, and b.) it's an extra ultrasound and chance to see my little one! Yes, please! It always shocks me how much they change from the first ultrasound to the 12-week ultrasound. Check it out:

And then this morning:


Holy baby! Aww, look at its cute little feet! Such cute pictures. Now, for those of you who subscribe to the whole nub theory, guess away!

12 Weeks: Our Little Plum!


How far along: 12 weeks
Net weight gain/loss: 2 pounds
Maternity clothes: No, though my pants are noticeably less comfortable the further into the day we get...
Stretch marks: no
Belly button: still innie
Sleep: all day, every day if it were possible!
Baby movement: not just yet
Gender: finding out 5/17, though hoping to get a sneak peek into the nub theory at my NT scan this morning!
Food cravings: strawberries, grapes, and lots of fresh fruit - same as with Ava. And still, Gardetto's! YUM!
Food aversions: red meat, sugar, some veggies - and more from day to day :(
What I miss: watching the scale go down, or at least remain the same!
Looking forward to: Finding out the gender of the baby! 
Best moment this week: There was one day this week I was able to go without Zofran!!! That's a FIRST. It gave me hope I may eventually feel better!
Milestones: NT Scan this morning - ultrasound pics and other such news to come later!
