Wedding Woes

Fetal Echo tomorrow

Blah. I am 50% okay and 50% freaking out, which I suppose is a good balance. I think it will be hard seeing the baby for the first time since the NT. I'm sortof living my life believing that everything will be just fine, but I have these moments of "oh God, what if it's something awful." At least we'll know, I guess.

This is pretty much the end of the line in terms of testing. We have 2 genetic tests still out at the lab (4-6 week turnaround time), but both are for things so rare that they're barely registering as a concern.

My doctor says at this point we have very little to worry about. The genetic counselors, on the other hand, are like even if all the tests come up fine it's probably something we just haven't thought of yet. Genetic counselors kindof suck.

In other news, I'm trying to teach Herbert to "kiss the baby." So far it only works if I have a treat on my stomach, but I think with a couple more days of practice we'll have it down.

    My stupid pants still fit fine, even right out of the dryer. I think I would enjoy not showing more if I didn't irrationally take it as a sign that the baby isn't growing enough. I do think I've been feeling tiny kicks off and on for the last 3 days or so, so that's a little comforting.

    Good luck tomorrow!!  I'll be thinking of you.

    I wish my regular pants had fit a little longer than they did when I was KU.  I hated fighting with the Bella Band every day, but it was the only way to keep pants on my body. The rubber band trick never worked for me...I had to go straight to maternity pants.

    Yay! I can't wait to hear the GOOD results!

    I'm happy your regular clothes are still fitting. I found pants so uncomfortable, I wore dresses a lot of the time. Even maternity pants would fall down all the time.

    I'm with conn on the straight-to-maternity-pants thing.  I wish I could have worn regular pants much longer than I did.

    Sending thoughts and prayers your way.  I hope all goes well - - the fetal echo is amazing and awesome to watch.  :)

    Maternity pants are THE awesome.  No buttons, snaps or zippers.   I wish I could still wear them.
