I still haven't heard from the dr on the genetic test results. A bit annoyed but not worried. Sometimes I think her nurse just forgets or is to busy to do things like call. I thought they said 7 to 10 days but I actually wrote down 7 to 14 days which we are at the end of that time frame. So I guess they figure to just wait and let us know at our next monthly appointment which is Thursday. Whatever. I'm not worried. The sonogram measurements were in great shape. Besides, I read that 5% of test results will come back indicating that something is wrong when really there isn't. And I've had several people tell me that they had not so good results and their baby turned out okay. With my luck, that will be our case. But you know what, that is okay. I know the Lord above will not give us anything we cannot handle. Either way, this is our baby and will love him/her no matter what!
I am amazed though at how many dr's there suddenly are in this world. Everyone has an opinion on what to do, what to eat, how to workout, how I will feel, etc. Talk about annoying. I let most things go in one ear and out the other. I do enjoy hearing about how other women felt in their pregnancy but cannot stand being told how I will feel or what I will experience. Especially by men. Like they know, ha! No two pregnancy's are the same, and just because you felt some way doesn't mean I will. It is amazing how opinionated people are. I made a comment once about not going to drink a glass of red wine during the pregnancy and immediately was told, "oh but it's okay." " You can have a glass of red wine a night if you want to." Ya, that may be so and okay for you to do. But for me, I'd rather not. It's not worth a risk and my personal decision. I've been told by friends who have gone through this that it only gets worse once the baby is born. Everyone turns into baby care do's and dont's specialists. Oh the joys.
We are on the road to accumulating bedroom furniture and decor! My sister in law is a bargain shopper and bless her for that. She has found us awesome deals on a crib, changing table, and rocking/glider chair! I've also found the rocking horse I want and have ordered it. And have found the bear to sit on the rocking horse and have purchased it. Oh and a cute little bear that attaches to the crib and makes a sound like the womb on Craigslist. So at this point, we've just gotta finish getting the last few heavy things out of the room. Once we get a confirmation on baby Plemons' being a boy, I will decide on final colors and paint the room then will finish with the remaining decor. I have to tell you, if you are pregnant and don't have the book, baby bargains, it's a must have. I'm learning what is a waste of money, what is okay to buy cheap, and what need to spend money on. It's my pregnancy bible to purchasing the necessary things!
I'm fixing to need to starting buying bigger clothes. Timing is bad with christmas being here so if anyone out there has some hand me downs that would be awesome! Heck I'll even buy from you. I just can't justify spending a lot of money on clothes I don't plan to wear for long. I'd really like to go to the goodwill store but am having a personal battle with myself. I feel embarrassed pulling in the parking lot driving the car I do. It makes me feel like I am taking away from those that really need to shop there and that everyone there will look at me that way. Dumb I know, but a personal battle. So again, I will gladly take hand me downs!!
Stay tuned for more. Thursday is our next appointment and should have some new info to share!
