[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I try to keep up and ya’ll are flying through this board! So, let me try to catch up. First, I hope everyone had a great mother’s day!

Jin, word on the maternity pants. I have found a new love.

Poppy, I use our vitamix on a daily basis. I ADORE it.

LJ, I’m with you on the gagging. I had on an episode of NCIS on the other night – a gruesome scene on it even made me end up on the bathroom floor begging DH to change the channel. About your test – I know that must be hard. I’m sorry. I think I saw a posting on this forum somewhere that compared that testing to a pumpkin patch. This is the analogy they gave: “My advice is sure, let yourself be unnerved, but every time a fearful thought creeps in, imagine yourself in a pumpkin patch. There are 128 pumpkins. One of them has a billion dollars underneath it, 127 of them have a dollar. Which one do you think you'd get?”  I know it doesn’t help much, but I remember reading it before my NT results came back, and it seemed to somehow put me at ease.  And with the uncertainties in the actual testing procedures – it sounds like there are probably some errors that happened. I like how Pumpkin put in perspective too. One way or another, I’ll be thinking of you.

Pumpkin, I think my bump goes up and down on a normal basis – is that normal? BTW, I got that same listserv posting about the yard sale. I’m planning on going. Would love to try and meet up!

Peanut, glad to hear little peanut is doing well – I hope you feel better soon!

Raspberry – I would love to hear more about your travels – they sound fascinating. And congrats on the girl!

Nov. Interloper (Turkey) – so glad things worked out! I can’t imagine how much stress that is.

On my end, I think I need to start joining a prenatal yoga class – I think Jin, you mentioned you go to one?  And someone else mentioned brookland – I’d love to try one!  I had done some basic yoga pre-pregnancy, even attempted bikram at one point, but not much past downward dog.  I have started working out again, and even tried a few short runs. It makes me feel a little more like myself, which is nice.

About Memorial Day weekend – I’m heading home early from a trip b/c I think I may have to go into work on Monday. But, if not, I’d love to crash this party.

And…my exciting news! I’m at 19 weeks, 1 day, and I think this past Sunday I may have felt some movement – maybe digestion, who knows? But, when I woke up at 3am this morning to use the facilities – I’m pretty sure I felt something swimming in there!  Fingers crossed. If I don’t feel it again, I may attempt with a home Doppler, a friend gave me hers,  but I’m holding off for a few more days.
