The Baby just completed nine weeks and we're off to week ten!
Unfortunately this week did not pass without incident. :-( It was
quite the rollercoaster. I had an episode of bleeding, but luckily this
happened right as I was heading to my first OB appointment. My doctor
was beyond phenomenal in calming my frayed nerves. And what started off
as a nerve-wracking appointment ended in all smiles as he showed me my
itty bitty baby on ultrasound. It's truly a miracle and I am so
thankful. I can't thank Dr. T enough for recommending Dr. Brown. So,
I've spent the last few days in bed taking it easy. Nurse Chip is on
the j-o-b as usual and is taking care of his mama. :-) Daddy-O has been a
trooper too and has happily humored my frequent grocery store run
requests for watermelon, watermelon and MORE WATERMELON!!! :-)
Next week I'm off to See Baby (www.seebaby.org)
for another ultrasound and a discussion with the doctor about first
trimester testing. Since I'm AMA (advanced maternal age) - a nice way
to say I'm an "old mama," they well probably recommend different tests
to make sure that everything is OK with the baby. I'm torn about this.
If any of you have gone through this (amniocentesis or CVS), please
share your experience with me.
So, thanks for all the love, concern and PRAYERS that you've sent my way. I truly appreciate it!
Love,
Tshombe
