In two short weeks, Baby A has grown to the size of a lemon. About three inches in length and weighs one ounce. The fatigue is starting to subside a little. I try to make the most of the times that I have energy.
House preparation projects are going well. Two of the three closets have been reconfigured, reorganized, and many items made their way to the donation center. House projects are on hold for a couple of weeks. Next up on the docket are the nursery which includes that closet and getting granite countertops in the kitchen.
Last week, I had another ultrasound and genetic testing. During the ultrasound, Baby A was super active doing flips and moving around. Heartbeat was around 152 bpm. Still measuring as a January 2020 baby. The genetic test I opted for was the non-invasive prenatal testing which tests chromosomes 13, 18, and 21. The test involves taking a couple of samples of my blood. The lab is able to separate the baby’s blood and my blood to test and compare them to see what the risk factors are. The results came back as low risk for anything negative to occur. With that information, I’m not going to proceed further with additional tests that could be done such as an amniocentesis or a placenta sample.
Yesterday, to celebrate the 4th of July and to let my colleagues know my news, I wore this shirt. It was fun to finally let the cat out of the bag.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday spending time with family and friends!
Hugs, C
