Well, it's been a little while. Sorry 'bout that! So much has happened it's getting hard to keep up anymore. We had our appointment with the high risk OB aka Maternal Fetal Medicine Dr. AND...we have officially been ruled OUT as a high risk! Whoo HOO! Our genetic testing was done via mother finger stick and the results came back. Our chances of having a child with trisomy 13, 18,or 21 (aka down syndrome) is 1:10,000, but our favorite part of this visit...the 20 minute sonogram viewed on a ginormous TV screen! We got to see the baby have the hiccups, do somersaults and suck it's thumb. We are SO in love!
Morning sickness... :/ I'd love to tell you that now that I'm sporting a baby bump that the morning sickness got it's pink slip and rode off into the sunset. NOT EVEN CLOSE! And now, the "all day" sickness has a new companion...introducing....INSOMNIA! I'm hoping that once Charlotte makes it back from Philadelphia, she'll be able to kick both of my undesired house mates to the curb!
Our next step will be our 17 week appointment. Dr. Kurian said that she would bust out the sono machine and try to determine if baby "Z" is a boy or a girl. She did warn us though, she's a terrible judge of gender and NOT to start painting the nursery based on her guess. We ARE hopeful that it will be an easy guess. If not, our next opportunity for a "gender shot" will be at 20 weeks by the sonographer. We will keep all of you posted. Love you all and thank you again for all the prayers and well wishes.
