August 21,2008 Final Amnio Results

Amnio Results

We got our preliminary test results back from the Amnio today. August 14,2008. They were normal. What a relief. But we still have to wait another week till the final results come back. But they said they were expecting them to also be normal since the first test was normal.

August 14,2008 OB Appointment

My next OB appointment. we were able to hear the baby's heartbeat on the Doppler this time. And everything sounded great. I was told to ome back in 4 weeks.

August 12,2008 Baby Scare

I had another appointment with the high-risk doctor for a scan. And what a nighmare that turned out to be. The doctor said that there were some small markers for Down's Syndrome showing up on our baby. We were told that he had a short nose bone and blood in his bowel.How upsetting this news was. And then the decision to have an amnio done. Which I had said in the beginning I would not have done. But now with the new news I was stressing out. So after crying and talking with Gary I decided that I could not go the rest of the pregnancy without knowing if our baby had Down's. Not that it would change our decision to keep the baby. We already loved the baby and would not think about ending the pregnancy.So I had the Amnio done and it was not as painful as I thought it was going to be, It was a very quick procedure. So then we have to wait till the end of the week for a preliminary test result.

Sunday August 3, 2008

My husband had been trying to decide about a job in Raleigh, NC for the past week. And we finally made the decision to move to Raleigh so he could take the job. So the stress of moving begins. House looking was the worst. we have 3 dogs and trying to find a place that has a fence is a nightmare.

July 24, 2008 First Time seeing New OB Doctor

Saw my new OB for the first time. She did the normal blood pressure, weight and talked about any problems I was having. She also tried to listen to our baby's heartbeat on the Doppler but could not find it. Which scared me. She ended up doing an ultrasound to make sure everything was ok with the baby. And thankfully the baby was fine. And you could see all 4 chambers of the heart.
