Random happy thought today

Today we went out to dinner to a Nepalese place called Namaste. On the drinks menu was a tea called chiya and it reminded me that I might soon have a little girl whose name could easily be shortened to sound similar. It made me smile anyway. I also went to give Janna's leg a quick pat to let her know I was thinking of her and Babby but she shoo'd me away because she felt sick.

In other news, we have scheduled the ultrasound for early January at 12 weeks old and we will get the blood test taken at the same time. We have also scheduled our first pregnancy based appointment at the hospital for about the same time.

Been a while

Been a while since my last post. Nothing much to report really. Had a couple of evenings where I was feeling down or in a bad mood but those seem to of passed. Babby's piggy bank has a few more dollars in it, which is always nice. I guess sometime after next week we should be thinking about getting the blood tests and ultrasound organised. And of course xmas is coming up quite fast too!

A Babby update

Babby is now at eight weeks and looks like a little like a cashew. Hands and feet should now have short fingers and toes, still growing longer and still totally webbed. Also at this point, Babby has a gigantic tail! Truly can't wait until Babby is old enough to tell the sex!

In other news, Janna's blood test results were all fine... we can confirm she does not have syphilis, HIV, or a range of other things. As expected, this blood test was indeed just for Janna's health. We discussed the Downs and Spina Bifida tests with our doctor and he filled out the relevant pathology and ultrasound request forms. Now we just need to wait until nine weeks for the blood test and eleven weeks for the ultrasound.

I had a strange dream about having a baby. I won't share it because it was quite strange, but I remember that I woke up after it and while going back to sleep I thought, "real life won't be like that dream, it'll be better", and I went back to sleep with a smile on my face.

So confusing!

Well apparently those blood tests we are waiting on are actually just to check Janna's health. We will have to get  another blood test later to check for Downs Syndrome and Spina Bifida. At least tomorrow morning we will be able to rest easier knowing about Janna's health. I just wish I was told what's what from the start.

Thinking happy thoughts

Feeling good today so I wanted to check in with the blog. Blood tests have been taken, although I am still confused about how far along we are, so we are waiting to hear about the results for those.

A happy thought today, matching mother and daughter clothes. So cute!
