Got my results

Post by Cate »

Finally managed to get back on line no thanks to Tesco Broadband!!!
Hospital rang Monday I'm in the clear for the Downs bit of the test and the rest will follow by post in about a week or so but the midwife said really nothing to worry about just be happy. She than rang Paul and told him babies sex, he sat and smirked last night but to date hasn't told me or come home with a train set or a frock or paint!!! My brother said he will probably go out celebrate and forget what it is!!!
I cannot begin to express the relief I feel my headache has finally lifted and even Paul seems to have less furrows on his head than usual.
When I went to school in the afternoon to pick Jessie up I went in short jacket to show off the very small amount of weight I have put on!! I've been going around in a long coat for weeks now. I felt very liberated sadly noone noticed and asked me, will have to go out and buy dungerees or comedy smock.
I truly cannot remember feeling as good as this and Paul said in future when people say congratulations he can just accept it now no more snags WELL HOPEFULLY! The nagging doubts will probably not go away until it's born.
Nice weekend ahead taking Jess theatre on Saturday to see Annie.
Paul and Jessie off to Lapland Sunday, bought them both one size navy blue balaclavas today I'm sure Jess will be thrilled!!!
Anyway thats my news Hope all well with you Alicia and Paige Cate xx :D

Cate!

Brilliant news! Yipppeee! I'm am thrilled for you. Though, I must say your self control is amazing with your dh knowing the sex and you not demanding he tell you! Well done. I couldn't stand it, but then again I was always rummaging through my Mom's closet to see what Santa was bringing as well.

Dear Cate,

Just popped in from the other side as I was wondering how you were getting on. Am so pleased that the amnio came back normal - I kept glancing through the posts to see if you'd had the results - whata relief. See - we all told you you'd be ok.

I am the same as Paige - I could not wait to find out (and also went rooting for presents) - I bet your DH tells you. When the hosp phoned me I was so relieved I put the phone down and phoned my DH - then I had to call them back to find out the sex because I'd completely forgotten to ask!

enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. will you be haivng the baby at LWH? I had Jay there and could not fault them - the midwives and surgeons were so lovely (and my IVF consultant came to visit me too, so that was lovely - I still send in photos ofJay for the board!

stay relaxed, love Sally x

Cate,

So glad your amnio has come out well. It must be such a relief. I still have a week before we can get ours done. DH is really nervous, so hopefully it will put him at ease.

How can you stand not knowing if it is a girl or a boy? I would go crazy. I'm glad we know ours are boys, since I really wanted a girl. It has given me time to adjust and really embrace the idea.

Hello Alicia, Paige Shell and Sally,
Yes it is a relief knowing, everyone told me it would be okay but I am a great worrier and would have driven myself and everyone else bananas by next May. The baby will be born in LWH which is now on a different site from where I had Jessie 10 years ago.
I really don't mind not knowing as I have no preference anyway, Paul I think wanted to know to make it as real as possible after all this if this ?but that , what if? that I have been coming up with for the last however long!!!
The main thing now is not to get too carried away I have gone into full speed happy /Christmas /cleaning /buying /wrapping /planning mode and my Mum keeps saying I have to take it easy just the same which is quite true.
Anyway not too long to wait til Monday Alicia, how long after that for the results? I'll be thinking of you. Cate xxx

Cate,

Thanks - I think it will be 3 weeks for us for results. I don't know why so long - one would think they could get them out a little faster than that. So it is. I am convinced all is well, but DH is a little more worry prone, so hopefully the results will help him relax a bit.

Have a great holiday! Sounds like you have your work cut out for you.
