But I’m So Good At It July 26, 2006
There are two things that I’m pretty darn good at, worrying and being impatient. It’s just how I’m built. Dan is always telling me that I don’t need to worry. My reply is always “yes, I do.” Not that I like to, but that’s how it is.
My ultra-screen results aren’t back yet, and it’s making me antsy. I had the bloodwork done with my nuchal translucency appointment a week from yesterday. This feels like an eternity to wait for the results. Especially since I was told that they would take a week.
My anxiousness over the situation is showing up in my dreams. Last night I dreamt of two not so pleasant things: not being able to find the heartbeat with the doppler and of a second trimester delivery/loss. It was horrible.
The other thing adding to the mix is the fact that we’re closing on our house tomorrow. TOMORROW! Oh my goodness. It’s beyond insane to me, and it’s making me nervous.
So, yeah. I’m a big ball of nerves for the moment. Hopefully things will get better soon. I would love to get some wonderfully relieving test results back soon and then have a smooth closing tomorrow. That would definitely help.
There is one big milestone that’s helping right now, though. I’m 13w3d today. Now, there are multiple ways to calculate the trimesters, but if you go by the gestational method (40 weeks of gestation divided by 3) then today is the start of the second trimester for me. I really feel like I need pinched. I have officially made it out of the first trimester. Unreal.
So, I’m hanging onto that while waiting (ever so impatiently) for the other stuff. Hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow I will be a homeowner with test results in hand. We shall see.

happy second trimester!
Yay for hitting those milestones, Amanda. Keep it up!
It is so hard not to worry…but second trimester! YAY! Congrats on closing on the house, very exciting.
A memorable day for two wonderful reasons–congrats on both milestones!
I am a natural worrier, too. As always, though, it’s easier to be rational when you’re an outside observer, and so I hope you’ll find some comfort in all the comments reassuring you that the house closing will go smoothly and so will the rest of your pregnancy, even though both are such huge events and thus understandably anxiety-inducing. Fingers are crossed for you all over the country (or maybe the world). I hope the test results come back promptly, that they’re heartening, and that they offer you the kind of comfort and relief that will allow you to relish the pregnancy like you so very much deserve to do!
Congratulations on reaching the second trimester. I hope tomorrow goes smoothly with the house and I hope you get your results today.
Congrats on entering the second semester =) I hope you hear good test results back ASAP and yay! for the new house.
I think you will start to feel better after closing and the test results come back. How could you not be stressing out? I think men are just better at suppressing their emotions. It probably helps that they aren’t surging with hormones either.
Best of luck with the closing and NT results! And congrats on a huge milestone–hope you’ll be able to breathe a little easier in the days & weeks to come!
Wow, congrats on the second trimester! I will keep praying everything continues to move along smoothly on all fronts.
Hey, since you’re in the second trimester, are we allowed to use the p word now?
Good luck with the closing, FREAKIN’ YAY! on being second trimester, and I hope you get those results asap to help calm some of your worries!
Good God tomorrow’s a big one, eh? Congratulations, good luck and those bastards better give you the results.
I know it is against the laws of nature not to worry. I hope you are not plagued by many more bad dreams! Congratulations on the “graduation” to 2nd trimester and the house! WOW! Thats a lot for one week!
As far as milestones go you’re hitting the jackpot, congrats on the house and the whole leaving the first tri behind. Hopefully you’ll hear real soon about the test results waiting sucks big hairy ones and worry is a natural thing you’d be weird if you didn’t. good luck and again Congratulations very happy today is a goody for you :)
hey, good luck on the closing and, of course and much more importantly, the test results. Sorry about the crappy dreams. I hope today brought you relief on both fronts.
Wow, congrats on the second trimester. I’ll have to move you on my blogroll! I hope the move went well, and that your results are back soon, with no issues.
A homeowner, test results and being finished with the first trimester!! It’s almost too much. I hope you’re going to celebrate in some kind of fun way.
Girl - you are good! I’m as crazy as you so I totally relate. You have all of us cheering from you from bloggyland ;)
It seems that everyone is going through nail-biting waiting and anxiety right now!! I have been having some crazy dreams too, but fortunately none that are really negative or scary. Hang in there!!
Congratulations on all of your good news and the new house…it’s beautiful!! What an exciting day for you!
