I have not been feeling the greatest and actually think I'm coming down with a little something. Says the woman who has barely had a stuffy nose in 5 years.
We had our NT scan on Friday. With the bleeding scare earlier in the week I was super nervous going in. Then Mother Nature had a hissy fit and with all the flooding Paul wasn't able to go. I didn't cry, at all, for real. I'm also never sarcastic.
Anywhos, the u/s tech was searching around and was very quiet, which was no big deal I wasn't in the mood to be talked at. But Squish was not moving at all so I very calmly mentioned that it was awfully quiet in there. The tech smiled at me and said not really then filled the room with the most amazing thing I have ever heard, Squish's heartbeat. It was the first time I had heard it and I didn't cry, at all, for real. I'm totally not welling now either.
Squish is definitely our child. A procrastinator who was not in the mood to do anything at the moment. He was not in the best position to get a measurement so the tech did some bouncing on my stomach, which Squish kicked back at but more in an irritated, can't you see I'm relaxing kind of way. She asked me to cough a few times to see if that would get him/her to move. I did and that's when we snapped this shot...
Head is to the right, 2 eyes & mouth. The hands are up by the cheeks. Reminiscent of this...
As if saying, "cough away woman. I will not move and for another 6 months you can't freaking make me".
Squish promptly rolled back over using my hip socket as a pillow, at least that's what the u/s tech said was causing my crazy hip pain and stayed there for the remaining 20 minutes. Kids only clocking in around an ounce so I don't know that I believe the pain is linked to the position yet. She said she got what she needed and I got a 30 minute u/s of the kid so all were happy in the end.
All in all looking good!Last week we also learned that I'm a Cystic Fibrosis carrier. So Paul will get tested this week. If he's a carrier we will see a genetic counselor. I believe even if he's a carrier there is only a 25% chance of the child actually having the disease. If he's not a carrier, no big deal. You need two carriers to have the actual disease. They also say it's becoming very rare for 2 carriers to actually marry. Usually I'm a research-aholic, this one I'm not touching until I have to.
