Ironically, as I hit the 12 week mark, the morning sickness has decided to make it's way to me. The last 3 mornings the need to run to the bathroom has literally woken me up-but at least it is pretty short lived and then I'm ok the rest of the day! Hopefully it's just a quick phase-but really I can't complain. I have for the most part felt pretty good-and I plan for it to continue this way!
Tomorrow we have our "First trimester screening"-something I fought against for several weeks. My way of thinking is this: IF we were to find out there was something wrong with the baby, such as Downs, it wouldn't change a thing. We would absolutely still go through with it, so why spend the next 6 months being stressed and upset, when there's really nothing we can do to change the outcome? Also, if this first "non-invasive" test comes back positive, even if it's a false positive, then I have to move on to something invasive such as amnio-which has the potential to HARM the baby!! I am a worrier, what can I say...but I have decided to go ahead and do the test, much to the relief of Dr. Werlin. I am told that we will probably be told the sex at this time, so at least that's one bright shiny spot in the whole ordeal!
I do have a belly pic to post, but my card reader is broken-so stay tuned!! I will try to get that up this week.
WE LOVE YOU DR. WERLIN!!

We love you!
I was so scared when we graduated from Dr. Werlins care! It is such a mixed bag of feelings...That staff is so caring, loving, and supportive. I can't wait for baby number #2....nothing like listening to the rolling stones during each exam to make a girl smile!
I am so happy for you guys!
