3Rd Trimester Blues and Surprise Girl

I've been feeling great 2nd trimestesr, but my first trimester I had a hard time dealing with the hormones and getting the blues and anxiety. Now i'm a week away from the 3rd trimester and it's back. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this in their third tri or am I just a weirdo? We also found out we're having a girl...not something I expected or really anticipated, so are there any general things people can tell me about girls....nice things, bad things, hard things? It sounds silly since I'm a girl but...raising a girl is...

First Trimester Screening

Mamas, I need some advice. I was 38 years old when I had my first baby. I avoided all prenatal testing except the level II ultrasound and preferred to keep my head in the sand just hoping that I would have a healthy baby, and thankfully I did. Now I will be 40 at my due date for baby #2 and I'm tossing around the idea of the first trimester screening... partly because it is non-invasive -- just and ultrasound and a finger prick. Here's my dilemma... I am not scheduled for the test until my 13th week, which means if further testing is...
