I've been quiet since our scan, because.. well, I'm just plain nervous.
The scan was great last week, but it didn't tell us what we want/need to hear. I didn't have an OB appointment at the end of the week like we normally do; so I felt a bit lost. (That's how you know I've been spoilt with doctor appointments.)
I've heard that the genetic results can take anywhere from 5-9 days to come back, so we are hoping it's sometime this week. I'm so on edge, I can't let my phone out of my sight in fear of missing the call. I've had dreams where the results have gone both ways. I want to believe everything will be fine this time around, but part of me knows that anything can happen.
Whatever happens - it's week 13 now! I haven't been this pregnant since Georgia. :)
I've had some shocking back pain over the last few days, and lots of stretching and tightness. I sneak a listen to baby's heartbeat most days, and it's always reassuring. I can definitely tell that the placenta is in the way though, as it's quite often muffled behind all the other noises going on in there.
No puking or morning sickness, but I am finding it hard to find things I *want* to eat. Cravings are mostly salty things this time around. And my cats will not leave me alone - always up on my belly or in my lap.
Come on baby, we're all cheering you on.

Hang in there Aly.
Our younger cat (RiP) was much more interested in being on me while I was pregnant both times. They can tell.
Cats are darlings. I'm rooting for you!
Still crossing all my fingers and toes that everything is everything you hope for! 13 weeks, wow!!
I hope you get reassuring results--and soon!
