Here I am again. Nothing to show! And yes, I am still sick. I get this question a lot. The first trimester has not been any fun so far and I am counting down the days until it is over...and praying that the "morning sickness" goes with it!
Another bummer of the first trimester: no hair dye! This is pretty shallow I realize BUT my 10 year high school reunion is coming up. In fact, I am headed to my hair stylist on the day of the reunion, which happens to be exactly 12 weeks! And I cannot wait to have some new hair!
Here's a dilemma: when I go back to my next OB appointment on the 1st, they will want to know if we want to do an early blood test for birth defects that will make the next test in the next trimester more accurate. The doctor said it is covered by insurance but knowing mine, it won't cover all of it. And it's not like the results will change anything for us, you know? So what should we do?
In other news, my super athlete husband ran his first half-marathon at White Rock Lake yesterday. Go honey, go! He is going to run a full marathon there in December. Here is a pic of us in the Dallas Arboretum after the race:
And Mamaw and Papaw Barclay joined us!

Is the test you're talking about the nucletranslucency (or triple screen)? We had that one at 12 weeks, & it involves a sonogram & blood work to check for chromosomal abnormalities. It's always fun to get an extra sonogram, & we thought it would be good to know early if there was anything wrong so we'd have more time to prepare ourselves & research it, even though it wouldn't change anything about whether to continue the pregnancy.
We didn't do any tests...for us, it didn't change the end factor, but of course the choice is yours. I'm adding your blog to mine, so I can stay up to date :-) See you soon!!!
I wonder why it won't let you follow my blog. FYI--I cancelled my myspace account, so facebook and blogspot are where I'm at.
