We got the call today from the specialist's office that the results of our test were great. Our odds of the baby having Down Syndrome went from 1 in 200 to 1 in 2,700 and the other two Trisomy disorders went to 1 in 5,700. Needless to say, we are thrilled! This is just a huge relief for us. Now we definitely don't need to worry about moving forward with an amniocentesis, thankfully. Our next ultrasound will be in approximately 4 weeks and we will hopefully find out the baby's gender. :)
Almost everyday Rich or I try to read a book to the baby. I am hoping this will stimulate the baby's brain and have him/her be interested in books. We will definitely read to our child every night before bed. I can't wait! I also play classical music for the baby everyday on my ride home from work. Sometimes I play jazz too. It may sound corny but I am completely in love with this baby already and want to expose him/her to everything that I can in this life. I can't wait to take my child to art museums, the library, the zoo, botanical gardens, farmers markets, traveling, etc. I want to show my baby everything.
My stomach is definitely starting to grow and I have outgrown most of my pants and shorts. I have had to move into maternity pants so that I can be comfortable. I didn't think I would have to do that this early but everyone grown differently. We just have 5 1/2 month's to go. It's already going by so fast. I really want to enjoy this pregnancy, especially since I am feeling so much better these days. I am just really tired and love to nap when I can but the nausea is pretty much gone. Rich has been absolutely fabulous, of course I knew he would be. He takes really good care of me and he is so excited to become a daddy. He is going to be the greatest dad. He already loves the baby so much too. This all makes me love him so much more then ever before. I am so lucky and so blessed!
