NT scan, 11w2d

I had my NT scan this week. I was pretty nervous for it. The babies heart rate was 161. He/She was very lazy! for the 25 minutes, with shaking, me sitting up and laying back down, it still wouldn't hardly move. About 3 different times the baby kicked a foot or two, did a little wiggle, or put its hand up to its head as if it was saying, "just leave me alone already!". Very different than what Jack was, he was always wiggling, turning, the pictures we had of him of this week were 4 different crazy positions, we didn't get many good pics of this one! Good news was my NT measurement was 1.3 (she rounded up a tad, it was 1.26 and 1.27) they like 3 measurements, but baby wouldn't move! It needed to be face up or face down, but it was just comfy laying on its side :). Here are some pictures!

Face looking up, you can see 2 eyes, nose and hand to head!

10 WEEKS!

Yay I'm 10 weeks, still can't hear the hb because of my backward tilted uterus. It makes me nervous and I pray everything is still okay! I went to Potter Park Zoo and Grand Ledge with the husband and Jack the other day. It was a lot of walking, hot outside and I don't think I drank enough water. When the day was done, and we started to drive home, I definately had some irritability in my uterus, hopefully just that not contractions yes. It subsided after about 20 minutes. I have my ultrasound next week friday, at 11weeks, or 11 weeks 2 days (haven't fully heard my which due date they are for sure going with at my OB). I will be making sure that they check my cervical length again. Previously it was 3.5-4cm...closer to the 3.5 side....so I pray its still there! that will have been 3 weeks ago!
