Thursday Anatomical Ultrasound

OK ladies! 

I decided on baking cupcakes to let everyone know the sex of the baby.  I have baked 24 pink and 24 blue......once we get done with the US and OB appointment, we are taking them to his lab and my family.  When they peel back the paper they will know what we are having.

But now I am worried.....I always worry going into to US and OB appointments, because I have so many health issues and some things have happened during this pregnancy that have made me antsy.  What if we get to the US and something is wrong with the baby.....or there isn't a HB?  I know I am not alone in feeling this way.........I get excited and start doing little things and then I begin to worry about the health and status of the baby.

I know I am being neurotic.....I just can't help it........

Deep cleansing breath.  Repeat to yourself "I am fine, my baby is fine" Deep cleansing breath!

The cupcakes sound cute and I have no doubt your appointment will go just fine. Hurry and go so you can come back and tell us all about it!

I'm sure I missed it at some point, but how far along are you? Sounds like you're like me. Worry constantly!! At the advice I received here, I rented a fetal heart doppler off the internet so I can listen to the fetus' heartbeat when ever I get worried. Let me tell you - it's been a huge weight off my shoulders.

Now, don't get me wrong, I still worry about other things that can go wrong. But that's one less thing. If it's going to be a while before you deliver, you might consider this. I went to babysheart.com and rent one for $20 a month.

Good luck Thursday. Remember to not worry so much, it's not good for your little one. And, really, all the worrying won't change anything anyway.. Oh - listen to me - I should take my own advice! LOL

Best wishes!

LOL I didn't want to get maternity pants cause I was afraid i would jinx it. Went in today and all is fine. Heartbeat sounds great. I am giving in to a baby shower in Ohio next month. I didn't want it for the same reason as the pants. Didn't want to jinx it.

I have mine on Thursday too.  And I'm right there with you on the anxiety!

Oh No! I just found out I am pregnant, and I am scared stiff. So I have the forseable future to feel this way then, eh?
Good luck and great idea on the cupcakes!
