Wantbaby, I had mine done, but I told my Ob straight up that I would not be having any further testing should anything show up. In all honesty I only had the scan done so I could get another sneak peek at Cookie but she didn't need to know that.
For us, even if something was wrong it wouldn't have changed a thing, but I wasn't going to miss out!
If you guys are referring to the blue "Bounty Bags", you get a Mother-to-be one at the Ob visits, a birth one (I think it's either at the hospital or at the follow up Ob visit 6 wks later) and then there's a 3rd one ( A boy or girl one I think) that you get a voucher for in the second bag and I think you take the voucher to Target to collect it. That being said though, when I got mine back in September my Ob said there was word that the supply company was talking about phasing them out, so maybe that's what they've done? Hope not! I want my goodies!!! A tip though, when you are a little further along go to Toys R Us/Babies R Us and register witht heir Baby Registry for your baby shower. It's free to do and the goodie bag I got from them was totally awesome!!!
Love it! I have my daily fix of double choc ice creame drowned... I mean drizzled in chocolate topping and some nights DH will say "are you sure you should be having that every day?" and I just say "Oh it's not for me, Cookie asked for it specifically!" and he just looks at me and shakes his head. So now some days I'll have it while he's at work instead hehehehehe.
Good for you on standing your ground and being a right cow! A woman after my own heart!
Well girls, as soon as I had finished my last post I went into my bedroom to do my back exercises and crashed out for 3-and-a-half hours! I still feel like I could go another 4 but feel pretty good. It was that really deep sleep too, cause it felt like I was only out for 5 mins. It's a little disconcerting cause I left all the doors and windows open, and didn't even hear the postman come but hey, what can I do right?
Well had best get going, I had every intention of getting stuff done around the house today. I have a weird craving for a McChicken burger (ever tried them with no mayo and then drizzled with maccas sweet & sour sauce? Delish!) and then we start our Antenatal classes tonight! I have already been exposed to birthing videos at school & uni with some courses I did, and I sat with my bestie through both of her labours, so that doesn't phase me at all but it will be interesting to see the reactions of horror on the faces of some of the others in the room! (I have a really bad habit of bursting into giggles at the most inappropriate moments, hope I can hold it together if they do!) Not to mention DH, whilst he has been to a birth before, he has still kinda been in denial, even up til now, that we are physically going to have a baby here soon, whether he's ready or not. Every time I try to broach anything to do with the subject of the baby, or the nursery, or the birth etc he's like "it's way too early, we've got ages yet" so I think tonight will be a huuuge wake up call that he'd better get his butt into gear
Anyway sorry about my rambling, hope you all have a great afternoon!
