We had another ultrasound today to do the nuchal transparency scan to look out for any congenital defects. The space was measuring smaller this week than it did last week, which is good. The baby was not really cooperating though; last week it wouldn't stop moving and this week it was napping for sure.
We did get to see the baby wave at us, so that was fun. And I think that's a little foot down there, too. That's our last ultrasound until December. It's going to be strange not having one every two weeks. I think we'll really be itching to see it come December. And yes, I realize that I'm calling our baby an it, but I really don't want to type he/she every time. So it it is.
They drew blood so we will get the results of that back in a week or so to find out if there are any genetic abnormalities. I'm not really sure how they figure that out from my blood, but they are definitely smarter than I am.
The baby is the size of a large plum now.
I'm still feeling pretty good. Tired as usual, but still no other symptoms. I haven't noticed a change yet from not taking the progesterone and estrogen, so hopefully I won't. It is so nice to not have to do those shots anymore. Too bad I still have to do the belly shots, but oh well. I'm happy to be at 12 weeks. I'm feeling much less anxious about the whole thing.
