I forgot to mention this in my previous post. I had the weirdest dream last night. It started when we were at the hospital after having the baby. They were about to discharge us when the nurse asked what we were going to clothe the baby in for the ride home. I completely forgot to bring an outfit! So they gave us something and we left. On the ride home I said to Dave, "OMG...we don't have anything for the baby! We don't have a crib, or even a changing pad. We don't even had diapers and neither one of us even knows how to change a diaper!" So the next day, I went to work (!!wha!!) and Dave stayed home and at some point I realized that I hadn't nursed the baby at all since we came home and there were no bottles since I hadn't pumped and no formula (and still no diapers...LOL). So by the time I got home from work, I was in a panic. Home was somewhere with a big stage (like a Theatre) and there were a bunch of people there. I ran down and got the baby (a boy) and he was standing up. I took him to a rocking chair and turned it the other way so that I could nurse. I had a million buttons on my shirt and I couldn't get them undone with just one hand, so the baby helped me! He finally nursed and then he stood up and said to everyone, "Milk is good!" with a thumbs up sign. Everyone was laughing and I woke up horrified and wanting to go out and buy diapers!
OMG...what does that all mean?

Inspired by Holly!
Okay woman...I am posting a blog and you were my inspiration to start this up again! LOL
Wow...it has been a reallllllly long time since I have updated here. Let's see...the last time I was around 5w. Now I am 12w3d!! This is further than I have ever gotten before with a pregnancy...by far. We had our 1st trimester screening last Monday and if we based the results on just the u/s our baby is perfect and normal and healthy and wiggly :-) Unfortunately I got a call on Friday that the results of everything combined (u/s, b/w, age, history) puts us at a much higher risk than a typical woman my age (1 in 62 chance of Down's to be exact). I was completely crushed. I cried off and on for the rest of the night, while Dave did his usual research and tried to reassure me that we shouldn't worry. Yeah right. He said that a 1 in 62 chance means that there is a 98.4% chance that it is normal. And he reminded me that we had seen a nose in the u/s (I found out that Down's babies don't usually have a nasal structure). And that the u/s showed us excellent results! So I am trying not to obsess and worry during every minute...but it is not easy.
Tomorrow we go in for the CVS. I am pretty nervous about the longggggggggggg needle that they are going to stick into my belly! More nervous about the results than I am about the risk of m/c. Of course I am somewhat worried about the risk of m/c...but my peri says that the chance of that happening is like 1 in 400. I was really hoping that they would be giving us preliminary results...but no...it will take probably 10 days :-( This is going to be worse than the 2ww!
So enough worry stuff! This has been a gorgeous weekend! Yesterday I went early and had my oil changed (they did it for free!), bought a cute maternity top at Target, stopped at my favorite farm stand a loaded up baby! All before 10:00 am! Dave took me to lunch at our favorite place for breakfast/lunch on the weekend :-) I had a cup of brocolli soup and a California BLT...yum. I can't believe how much Dave can eat...he had a large toasted blueberry muffin, an egg and cheese sandwich, a large side of corned beef hash (soooo good), and entire bowl of coleslaw that I couldn't eat! Yikes! We then had a rolicking trip to Home Depot and Walmart...LOL. Dave golfed with my bro Mark in the afternoon and I cleaned the house and then relaxed with a book :-) Today...I dunno. I am going to read some more this morning and I have to go grocery shopping. Maybe I will see if Dave will take a drive up north to stop in some antique shops. He probably won't go...but maybe I will go on my own!
Okay, I promise to you Holly that I will update more often! I think that my problem has been that I am on too many boards and it is hard to update in 7 different places! LOL
