So yesterday KC and I had to take the day off to have the CVS testing done on the baby to check for any genetic defects. CVS is just like an amnio except that there's not enough amniotic fluid to take so they have to take cells from the placenta. Depending on where the placenta determines how they perform the procedure, abdominally or through the cervix. I got lucky this time and had to go the cervix route (I'm joking.....this was worse)!!! Poor KC had nail marks embedded in his hand because I was holding it so tight. Anyway, now I have to lay around w/almost no activity until tomorrow. I can't pick Erin up (or anything over 10 pounds) and have to limit exercise for the next few days. So far I'm feeling ok, pretty sore but the major cramping has gone away. Sleeping yesterday really helped! We should find out the results in about 8-10 calendar days.
Please keep your fingers crossed that everything turns out ok!
Since they do the procedure using an ultrasound, I got more pictures of our little bean!!! YAY! As of now, I'm about 12 weeks along. One more week until I'm in my 2nd trimester and (hopefully) this exhaustion goes away!
