When you've come to terms with the idea that you're not having children, you've reassessed your life goals, felt relieved that you're comfortable with your selfish lifestyle, sleeping in; life just throws you a curly one.

OB Day

Met our OB today. What a lovely guy. And he is only 10 minutes away and the clinic has parking - all very convenient!
Unexpectedly he did a quick ultrasound of my tummy, and lo and behold: a little baby with a tiny heartbeat. What a pleasant surprise! It still doesn't feel real, but that has got to make it more tangible.
Next week I do a blood test, then the following week the ultrasound for the combined screening for abnormalities. Apparently these days, you can have the amnio or CVS on the same day. That is very efficient indeed, that way you get the results pronto (if need be) and you can quickly move on to the next phase.
I won't relax until we get the all clear, 1/1000 diagnosis. *sigh*
