Amnio results FINALLY in...
So after almost 3 weeks, I finally got my full amnio results back... The baby is completely fine and they found no chromosomal abnormalities within the testing... I am so relieved... This has been the worst wait ever! The only thing that has kept me going is being able to feel him everyday kicking/punching/moving inside me... That helped reassure me that he was alive and must be healthy if he's moving around so much... Apparently downs babies don't move much and the mother feels very little activity... Monster Kwan definitely is letting mommy know he's in there alive and growing every single day... He was especially active yesterday morning and hubby was able to feel his strong kicks for the first time... He had felt a faint one a few weeks ago, but I think yesterday's actually kind of freaked him out! =P~ He said it was weird... Imagine how I feel! Early in the AM and late in the PM is when he's most active. Let's hope he doesn't continue that trend once he's in this world!
I am slowly beginning to feel as though Monster Kwan is going to be here soon... I have four months left, but I'm sure it'll be here in no time... I am trying to set up the nursery, but all I do is look and look and can't decide. We finally bought a bed frame for the mattress in the guest room... It's been over two years since we bought our townhouse and the mattress had still been sitting on the floor. Yes, I know - ghetto! But now we have a nice new bed frame all ready for when my mom comes to visit after the baby is born... Next on the agenda is painting the nursery. With the thousands of color choices out there, I am so indecisive. I figure while I'm at it I'm going to repaint the master bedroom too. A nice new coat of paint in a refreshing color will give our room a new look for this next chapter in our lives...
The baby furniture is another project in itself... There are so many products out there that it is overwhelming... Everyone with a baby gives me their two cents, which I appreciate, but makes my head spin at the same time... I feel like I'm entering another world consumed with babies and parenthood. Everyone has an opinion about the other about how they're raising their kids or doing or not doing something right... I hate listening to it sometimes. Just because you already have a kid doesn't make your way right. Every kid is different so every parent's experience and methods will differ. Why is the baby not walking yet? Why is she not breastfeeding? It's all so judgemental. But I guess that's just how it is... I am now entering into another world...
