It's Going to Be a Long Week and a Half

The appointment with the fetal-maternal specialist is scheduled for the 22nd, 4 days before my baby shower. The nurse really wouldn't give me any details other than it will include an ultrasound and a meeting with a genetics counselor. She said it should last around 2-3 hours. I'm just hoping that the appointment will lead to an answer because I can't imagine being able to keep it together at the shower without knowing. I can barely keep it together right now. I bounce back-and-forth between thinking "everything is going to be ok" to "worst-case scenario". It's mentally exhausting. I would give anything for a week long vacation were I could just stay in my pajamas all day and hang out on the couch with my dog and the remote.

It's So unfair that you have to go through all this. I'm just hoping that you can find something to distract yourself until then!

Fingers crossed for you - we're all pulling for a good outcome!

Thinking positive thoughts... one of which being, maybe you COULD take a week-long vacation (or, uh, maybe you just really don't feel good this week, hint hint??) and stay in your pajamas... although I doubt that would help with keeping your mind off of things. I'm sure you'll get at least some answers from the appointment, and be able to make some decisions from there. Hang in there!!

I can't believe you have to wait so long! I know how hard the waiting is - I'm praying for nothing but good news.
