...that's it. all that is left until we meet Ms. Finnian. 15 more weeks. It has gone by so fast and neither one of us can believe it! We're extremely excited but nervous at the same time! We have so much left to do to get ready and up until recently, it felt like we had so much time to get it done. Now, not so much and we're starting to get a little panicky! Time to get out the to-do list and start crossing things off! :)
Our 24 week doctor's appointment went well...all the routine check up stuff and a review of my health, labs, etc up to this point. Got the paperwork to do ANOTHER glucose test at 28 weeks...the flat soda-like drink was okay the first time but by time #3 I'm getting a little tired of it. They're also going to be testing my liver since in my first set of labs it showed that it was a little fatty. The doctor said that was normal for women that are slightly overweight and should be fine, they're just monitoring it. Apparently I have a chubby liver. :) The joke around the house now is everything is the fault of my chubby liver. We are out of milk...blame it on the chubby liver. The toilet paper roll didn't get replaced...chubby livers fault again. For whatever reason it makes us laugh. :)
The marker showing the single echogenic foci which could indicate downs syndrome was still there in the follow up ultrasound that we had and the doctor is referring us to the Maternal/Fetal medicine office in Eugene where we went for the sequential screening (genetic testing) at 13 weeks. The doctor said the results of our sequential screening were perfect indicating no genetic problems so this little marker that keeps appearing will likely mean nothing but she wants us to go to the experts for a more thorough ultrasound just to be sure. We should be hearing from the office some time this week and making our appointment so we'll keep everyone posted!
It's been a fun couple weeks of baby showers for us!
Weekend before last we were in San Diego where my mom, bff Carmen and "sister" Christy planned a really great day for us! There was tons of tasty food, lots of laughs, some games and a beautiful cake as our gift from Shanna. On our short trip to San Diego, it was awesome to have so many people we love in one place helping us celebrate the upcoming arrival of our little baby girl. :) Our Oregon baby shower was this weekend and it was a wonderful afternoon of friends and family! Jen's mom Barb, sister Andi and my sister Kelly did an awesome job on food, activities, decorations and cake! Everyone had a great time and it was so nice to be surrounded by the people that mean so much to us! The guests at both showers spoiled us with so many gifts and Jen and I both feel really lucky and very blessed. Our little Finn is going to be the best dressed new born ever! Thanks everyone for your thoughtful presents!
That's it for now I think...stay tuned for updates on our ultrasound results and more info on our adventures towards parenthood!
