He was moving all about, and still not rolling into profile, so the u/s tech started bouncing the detector onto my belly, quite forcefully, trying to get him to turn. Looked like he was getting whiplash to me.
We did end up getting a few nuchal readings, all within 'safe' range. We await the bloodwork for final call.
I am finally feeling better physically, but have let some other things (non baby related) stress and bum me out. I am trying to let go. Beanie deserves a stress-free environment!
Since I am not working f/t with this pregnancy, I wonder if Beanie will get enough talking to! Hopefully my neighbors don't think I am odd if I start talking to my belly throughout the day!
I can't believe it is 12 weeks already and that we still have soooo long to go. The baby is about 2 inches, crown to rump, and my lower abdomen is barely sticking out. It still seems surreal to me.

12 wks is WONDERFUL!!!!! I'm glad you had a good appointment and hope you continue to get good news!
I'm glad your feeling better but try not to let the stress get you down!
It's funny - I find myself thinking about things to say to the baby but I never actually say them. It's like I assume just because he's inside me he gets to read my thoughts or something! Yes, I am a little bit crazy!
Yay on 12 weeks!
Still surreal here too..... pregnancies after loss feel like FOREVER.
Hoping your next 26 weeks or so fly by. That is one cute little buddy in there!
YAY! Beautiful little baby. Much love
Grow Beanie grow!
It still boggles my mind how in 38 weeks a microscopic embryo can grow into an entire 6lb+ baby. I mean, obviously for mommas like us, 38 weeks feels like an eternity, but to think of the fact that Beanie is already 2 inches long and will likely (I am almost said hopefully, but it really is likely) grow 16 or more inches and get all the requisitie parts, etc. it is just amazing!
I remember at my 12 week ultrasound, seeing Isla for the first time, I was so blown away and madly in love. She refused to cooperate until her daddy came in the room, and then she immediately started bouncing around like a little frog. Funny how as she grew and I could feel her kick, she still seemed to get super excited at the sound of her daddy's voice.
I hope the stress doesn't bum you out too much. This is so simple, its almost sounds stupid, but I learned today that anxiety for the most part is just the by-product of thought, and our thoughts are just that, thoughts, and we control them. I think I always knew that but still struggled to gain control over my overwhelming thoughts, but today it really sunk in with me how much power I have over my anxiety. I learned to focus on the physical present to stop the thoughts, and it worked. I'm hoping to get better at it so I can better manage my stress/anxiety in a future pregnancy.
I'm so happy to hear that so far everything seems to be going well, and that, but for the work stress, you are staying relatively calm. Good work Momma!
Thinking about you and cheering on Beanie! xo
12 weeks is wonderful, and I'm glad you're feeling better, too. Beanie is beautiful!
I'm so excited. What a beautiful picture! Oh don't worry what people think, when you are pregnant you get to blame absolutely everything on hormones anyway. I used to talk to Skyler/Nemo in grocery stores, on the street, pretty much anywhere at any time of day. Sang to him too. As long as you rub your belly at the same time people get the hint. I did it before I was showing too, they probably thought I was nuts but meh whatever.
Congratulations on a wonderful scan. I'm so enjoying walking this path with you!
Very pleased that all is well with Beanie.

YAY!!! For 12 wks. Hang in there your doing great :D
Just think, only two more sets of 12 to go:)
So glad it is going better and that beanie is looking so great!
Stress...it's part of the journey. Just remember to enjoy the moments when you aren't feeling it, they are the ones you'll want to savor.
xxoo
Yay Beanie! And we're calling him "him" til proven otherwise? Looks like a little boy baby, I think...
xo
Much love to you! Beautiful little one...:)
Yay for 12 weeks! :)
Hey, I'm 33 weeks and it still doesn't feel real to me either!
xx
Yay! Grow baby grow!
Congrats on 12 weeks! That is a great milestone. When I was pg with A, I celebrated each week as a small victory. Glad to hear you are feeling better!
Glad you are feeling better and got a good scan! With twins, it took twice as long, and we both totally fell in love.
So glad things are going well! Thinking of you and your little one!
Hello Beanie!
Hurray for reaching 12 weeks! Hang in there and I say chatter away to the little one and don't worry about what the neighbors think.
Yay!! 12 weeks is awesome!
12 weeks! YAY! Time is moving so fast!
I am so very excited for you!!!!!
Thinking positive thoughts for you & Beanie!!
