13 weeks

I have been so busy the last few days it has been hard to update.
Yesterday took my car in for an oil change, fix the tone ring and to do the brakes and ended up being $1275 lighter :(
I was so hoping to pay off my credit card debt this month with FIL still being here, but guess that is out the window now.  Plus FIL informed me that we will not receive the rent from him except only after his social security and veterns money goes in.  I am starting to wonder if he lost his job and wonder how if he can't afford to pay us $500 a month how he will be able to rent a studio next month for $600 a month.

Today was my 2nd try for the NT scan.  The went good. We had a much better tech this time. Unfortunately the baby still didn't want to co-operate much (despite me drinking two bottles of orange juice) so we were there for over an hour. At first he/she just wanted to lie on its belly so she got one measurement that way, but they needed to get 3. Then he was lying on his back, but his chin was too far down she said. Anyways she took 3 measurements ranging from 1.55 to 2 something. But then afterwards she comes back and says the measurement is 1.6 so I guess a few of the measurements she threw out because the baby wasn't perfect. The baby also measured 12w6d so only 1 day off so I was happy with that.

Only things I didn't like is she wouldn't look for the SCH since it wasn't written on the order sheet - need to complain to my doctor about that because it has now been 2 weeks since it was last measured and that was at the ER and I never heard the measurements. Also after the bloodwork I asked when I would find out the results and the woman said not until after the 2nd bloodwork which has to be done between September 20 and October something so I was pissed about that because last time the bloodwork was bad that hugely increased my risk and looking back it was the first sign ds's placenta was failing so I really want to know the results and individual values. I care more about that then about the stupid risk calculation that they do since the numbers can tell you more information and was the only reason why I wanted to do the NT scan.

Tomorrow we are finally going to get the bed we brought on Sunday, then have dd's 6 month WIC reassessment appt.  Planning to tell them about the pregnancy so hopefully we will get more checks to cover the food costs since money is very tight right now with dh no longer working and in school fulltime.

As for the bleeding/spotting, yesterday was my last day using the crinone.  The bleeding has died down from the last few days where I would fill a pad a day to now just mucusly red/brown discharge when I wipe so I don't know what to think.  Really hope this is just the SCH bleeding itself out and not that it is growing larger.
