So we're ONE WEEK AWAY from the second trimester, and let me tell you how relieved I am!!
I've had my share of morning sickness, and yes it's terrible... like a month long flu! BUT that being said, I know that pregnancy is a miracle, and I couldn't be more happy that Rob and I have been blessed with it! I'm telling myself that the sicker I get, the healthier the baby is, because OBVIOUSLY my body is over producing hormones :D
We've booked our ultrasound for our IPS (Integrated Prenatal Screening) testing - IPS testing is a 2 part test, they take blood and do an U/S - it's a prenatal screen for neural tube defects like Spina Bifida and Downs Syndrome. We've been told by our doctor that the likelyhood that a young, healthy couple, with no family history of neural tube defects will screen positive is very small. But, the way I see it, it's a completely non-invasive procedure, and we get to see the baby! So, why not?!
Rob's been asking when we get to see pictures of the baby, so I think this will make the whole experience way more real for him. Up until now, all he's experienced is my whining about feeling tired, or sick! To see our baby on the U/S will be quite the experience for both of us!
To try and prepare, before I'm unable to move around as freely as I can now - we've bought the paint for the nursery! It's a beautiful minty green colour that we plan to add pink or blue to once the baby is born - yep, we're not finding out the sex!
Anyways, I'll try to be back to update you all on our progress, when there is some!
