vent - frustrating day including first-tri scan
Today is my birthday, but I knew going in it wasn't going to be fabulous because a) its a Monday. b) DH is traveling, so I'm solo parenting c) DH would not be at the NT scan, which sucks.
Our morning started out great (with a treasure hunt for flowers DH and DS got for me) until DS and I both had a meltdown getting him into the car, which made us a bit later than I wanted to be, plus the traffic was extra bad, so I was late to work. Apparently my meltdown was a sign of things to come - apparently I am extra emotional today, tearing up when someone mentions my birthday, asks about my plans, seeing the baby, etc.
Had the NT scan at the hospital/specialist today. Had to fill out a ton of paperwork, got into the room a bit late (when don't Dr.s offices run late?) and she immediately noted that the baby was too big for the screening. yup, upper threshold is 80, baby is measuring at 87 (I'm at 13w5d now). Generally they looked around, everything looked ok, but no confirmation on anything. I did get some pictures to take home and email to DH, which was a consolation. Teared up while talking to DH while driving back to work for a 4pm meeting. I am a mess!
I so want to just go home and go to bed. My parents are coming over to make us dinner, so hopefully I can lean on them to assist with bedtime, etc. I am so done with my day though and I need a drink!
