The catch is one in our household is vegetarian (not vegan, eggs and cheese okay) and I would love something Asian (not sushi or Indian- we get those a lot).
Update
Ordered Kinaree and I'm going to be honest it was pretty disappointing. I'll take one of these other recs next time. Thanks guys.
We had our Nuchal Translucency ultrasound at 13+3 yesterday and got a call today with the following information.
Nuchal fold 3.3mm
Hypoplastic nasal bone- small or absent
I am 35 years old.
She said on the phone we are just above the normal threshold for the nuchal fold- normal would be less than 3mm.
She also said it's unusual that the tech listed the hypoplastic nasal bone as it's not normally detectable at 13 weeks. She indicated it's possibly less accurate because of the early stage.
She said the nuchal fold could be indicative of chromosomal abnormalities but because it's just above the threshold it may be more likely to indicate a cardiac abnormality. She said the hypoplastic nasal bone can be an indicator of chromosomal abnormalities.
We've just been crying on and off all day. We haven't got our NIPT back and don't go for the second round of the blood draw for another week, with results not likely before two weeks from now.
Tell me anything. Tell me your story. Tell me it'll be okay or it won't be. I just can't stop spinning. We don't have family support and are middle income- we make enough that we don't qualify for additional assistance but not enough that we don't worry. I struggled with PPD with our first child. I don't know how to do this.

I will have been working for a year and 3 months between my two maternity leaves, but because I only work 12 hours a week I'm looking at accruing about 600 hours, give or take, by the time I apply. My employer does not offer maternity benefits- so I'm only trying to meet the ei requirements.
From what I can see on Canada.ca the required hours are dependant on region and employment rates, but I can't see the actual requirements broken down by region. There is a range of requirements between 420-700 hours. I will very likely have enough for the low end but I'm not likely to get more than the high 500s or low 600s.
Anyone been in the same boat or know what to expect? On Vancouver Island.
