**WARNING** This post is entirely pregnancy related. Skip it if you need to!!
We got the results from the 12 week NT scan. The tech said they want the fold to be less than 3.5 and ours was less than 1 so that is great! At age 25, the risk of having a baby with Down syndrome is 1 in 1250. Our babies risk with the scan and combined blood tests is 1 in 2500. So we are not having the amniocentesis. Not that I would have anyway with my history of miscarriage.
I'm done with the PIO shots and I just switched from heparin to lovenox so I'm down to 1 shot a day. I still take a huge amount of pills though and they all make me gag. Now that I feel like things are more normal and this might actually work, I thought I would start posting some updates and belly shots. Someday I may want to go back and look at these. I probably won't do every week because I'm just to lazy to post that much. Please keep in mind I had a belly before this started so I know I look more pregnant than I should. Oh well!

Baby’s Size: Baby Beavers is the size of a peach!
Weight Gain/Loss: down 1.5 lbs from pre pregnancy weight.

Maternity Clothes: Already wearing maternity jeans, but I needed those before I got pregnant. I'm glad to have an excuse to wear them. Still wearing regular shirts, but big ones and wraps with tank tops.
Symptoms: Ever since the cruise I’ve been sick. I don’t throw up, but I feel bad and I don’t want to eat! Not eating is a big deal for me, I can always eat.
Foods I’m Loving: Apples & Peanut Butter, it's about the only thing I've eaten that I don't feel sick after.
Foods I’m Hating: Meat, Vegetables, anything healthy, candy and sweets.
Sleep: I sleep about 10 hours, but I wake up a lot and have to go to the bathroom 3 or 4 times.
Movement: Still too early.
Gender: We find out the day before Thanksgiving. 3 weeks from today!
What I Miss: Not feeling sick.
What I’m Looking Forward To: Finding out the gender
Milestones: 12 week NT scan, chances of downs or other trisomy were very low
Emotions: Surprised that pregnancy is so hard, but still over the moon excited.

I'm with you - so happy to be pregnant, but I feel sick every day! Even now at 21 weeks I still feel bad a couple of times a day, although not as horrible as I did the first trimester. I also have no desire for meat, either - and I've never been a vegetarian of any kind!
