April 5th and 6th

April 5th and 6th were two agonizing days. The Genetic counselor called me on April 5th with a partial amnio result which almost drove me to pulling hair. Apparently, my AFP value is a little high and there's a question about the spina bifida ... they had to send it to UCLA for a retest. I didn't sleep much that night and was literally climbing the walls by April 6th. By April 6th around 2 PM, I got tired waiting and called the G.C. who was suppose to call me first. To make a long story short, the AFP value came back "Normal", the spina bifida test was "Negative" and she said everything across the board came back "Normal". One more big 'thank you' to 'Big Boss' upstairs.

I first thought that I was going to have a girl then later boy because of how my tummy is shaping up ... well, first instinct apparently is always right. We're all happy that our little sweetie will be alright, now I just have to eat right, exercise, etc.

I've been 'outed' at work ... finally let the cat out of the bag. Everyone was very happy of course except for those who'll have to 'really work their arse off' when I go on maternity leave.

My nephews wedding was this weekend ... and yes, everybody was very very surprised about our little bundle of joy. Most asked if we've had our amnio ... what would they have said if I hadn't? I'm quite sure that my pregnancy would have been a 'fodder' for certain people gossip mill... some things never change I guess.

Off to more happier things ... I'm naming our little girl, Priscilla. Either my husband comes up with a middle name or I'm doing it ... I was sort of playing with 'Bea' and 'Bailey'.

Overall, I'm immensely 'thankful' for everything and 'Big Boss Upstairs' knows that.
