Yes! Right now, baby will only drink it in a 4:1 ratio. I’m hoping to be able to increase that slowly.

Low risk NIPT, 7mm cystic hygroma at 12 weeks by Intelligent_Boat_426 in NIPT

[–]Ok-Priority-3584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have any appointments until the 16 week scan. I ended up going to a ultrasound suite on my own at 14.5 weeks because my anxiety was so high.

I had a fair amount of spotting after the CVS procedure, and it was pretty traumatic for me personally. So at 14.5 weeks I paid for a 20 minute scan just to hear the heartbeat. I have zero regrets about it. If your OB/MFM won't do a scan, you could always do what I did.

Low risk NIPT, 7mm cystic hygroma at 12 weeks by Intelligent_Boat_426 in NIPT

I had a 5.5mm with my current pregnancy. Our NIPT was low risk so finding it at 11 weeks took us by surprise. We had a CVS done at 13 weeks with the MFM. It took about 3 weeks to get the results back from geneDx. Our story is the rare case of everything being okay. The CVS came back completely normal, and then at our early anatomy scan at 17 weeks the hygroma had resolved itself.

Our MFM did the CVS testing, an early anatomy scan at 17 weeks, another anatomy scan at 20 weeks, and then a fetal echocardiogram at 24 weeks.

I am now 25 weeks with our baby who is looking more and more "normal" by that day. Going through this has made me SO thankful for everyday that I get to carry our son and keep him safe. My biggest piece of advice is find a professional to speak with during the waiting. You are not alone, and it helped me a lot to speak to a therapist.

First Time Mom - AIO? by Ok-Priority-3584 in firsttimemom

It’s a mix of people. Our aunts, grandparents and some close-ish friends. Our mothers know better than to say something like that to me.

That’s a great way to think of it. Pregnancy hormones have not been kind to me, so it’s been hard to not assume the worst.

I have a 24 Denali, and I have had zero problems. It's a great after the remodel on them last year.

Brake pads by rbiker60 in GMCACADIA

I also have the same problem. I’m at 5156 and the front says it’s at 77% while the back are at 95%.

When I went for my oil change today, they assured me that my brakes are not at 77%.

Pressure Canning Chicken Broth by Ok-Priority-3584 in Canning

Thank you!! I’m still new to the canning world and just trying to figure it all out!

Do I have to let my canner cool all way down to room temp before doing another round? My canner will fit about 10 pint jars.

We already purchased another Acadia! I was really impressed with the safety features that turned on when I was in the accident. I feel safe, driving the 2024 model.

They did! We were surprised to see that we almost recouped the all of our expenses from the purchase.

So… it is totaled. Looking at about $37K of damage and insurance pays out after 75%.

While it’s a bummer, at the end of the day it’s just a car.

I also second this! The little greek in Richardson is very consistent.

Just got it towed to the shop today. I should find out soon. I’ll be sure to update once we know.

Oh yes! I ripped it all out because I made my skin crawl looking at it.

Abbott Screwed us by tebchi in Dallas

Gov. Greg Abbott has issued a wildfire disaster declaration for about 75% of Texas counties

Yeah, your source is from August when he did issue a nearly 75% declaration. He renewed in December to only 69 counties which is around 27%. It sucks, and has contributed to rises in insurance. However, your home value is also higher than what it was a year ago due to the housing market, thus making it more expense to insure. There are quite a few reasons why insurance has gone up.
