Hi, ladies. Time for me to write a real post for once in a while!

Sue -- I'm so happy to hear about your scan. I know you were really worried about the NUPP results (or whatever they're called in English, I forget!) and it's great to hear that they were well into the low risk zone. I know it's really difficult dealing with the spotting, but I think it's a good thing that it happened right before your scan -- you got to see for yourself that the spotting didn't mean bubs wasn't okay. Try to keep that in mind if it happens again -- but I know it's so hard to be positive sometimes.

Rozzie -- I think it's a really good thing that you have the doppler. I haven't started feeling regular movement yet, but when I bought mine I figured it will come to good use once I am feeling movement and maybe have one of those worried days where I don't feel as much. Since the lack of movement is so emotionally charged for you, I'm glad you have a way of putting your mind at ease. Exciting about your morphology scan in two days! Mine is in one week, and I'm getting really anxious, but in a good way! I can't wait to see what bubs looks like in week 20 and get some pictures to tuck away. I am waffling about asking them about the gender. DH still says no, as we decided that with Beiron, but this time I wonder if it could be a good thing to know; to help me bond with the baby, since I'm still in very robotic-medical-scientific mode about the pregnancy. But I have a feeling I'll just go with the flow and let DH steer me on this one.

Speaking of the U.S. election, I'm so stoked! I sent in my absentee ballot a few weeks ago (and since I say I'm stoked, I guess you know who I've voted for, or if you've looked at my blog ). DH and I are such political nerds that we've taken Wednesday morning off of work so that we can stay up and watch the incoming returns on CNN. The first polls close at midnight Swedish time I think, but things won't really start happening until the east coast starts rolling in at about 2 am our time. So I better take a nap tomorrow afternoon, but like I said, we took Wednesday morning off of work and all our coworkers think we're funny.

Katie -- there must be so many emotions for you right now. Anxious to meet your little girl, but maybe even a bit nervous? I would be! Imagine if you could go back to December and give yourself a big hug and tell her things will eventually be better. That's kind of what it's like for us, knowing that you've made it and will have your little baby soon.

Helen -- my web browser doesn't update the tickers properly, so yours said you were 7+5. That didn't sound right, so I refreshed and saw 9+3! Wow, things move fast! How are you feeling?

Lan -- Good luck with your move! Don't let it keep you from your new start to TTC; a close friend of mine who had a hard time getting pregnant told me once that everyone tries to wait for the "right time" in their life to have a baby, but that some of us know that it will never be the right time if you keep waiting for things to be perfect. I didn't fully understand her until after losing Beiron.

DH and I seem to be quite the opposite about sex. Normally we have very little of it, so TTC was a seriously concentrated and scheduled effort (not that we didn't have FUN, it's just that it had to be very planned). But when I'm pregnant we seem to want more of it than usual. Then again that might be because we're not allowed (the doc finally said no more until after the morphology scan). So even though I had a huge bleed and fairly painful cramps every time we had sex, it's kind of tough to stay away! And I am having some pretty vivid dreams... Although I've been having pretty vivid nightmares about babies and things as well, so I think there's a lot of emotions coming out in my dreams. A friend of mine who has had two super normal and uncomplicated pregnancies told me that she did actually bleed so much after sex once that the mattress got a huge stain, and the doctor told her that that was perfectly normal. So it's kind of crazy, how much bleeding they mean when they say you can bleed after sex.

Hmm, now people are coming in and asking me to work. Dangit. Guess I'll have to get back to you guys later!
