Moopers’s Weblog

This week we’ve had the luxury of being able to focus on other things this past week.  L’s been feeling so much better, and we have been getting used to the idea of expecting babies.  Finishing off the first trimester and knowing that the odds of success are, at this point, “overwhelmingly in our favor” (to quote one of our books) has put as more at ease.  It hasn’t been the only thing we think or talk about.

However in 2 days we have the nuchal translucency screening, and a separate ultrasound, too, so it’s back on the front burner.

I’m still stoked; looking forward to hanging out with friends, having a beer and watching all our screaming kids play together.

We’ve pretty much decided that amnio will be the way to go.  We’re going to expect the best and minimize the risks of something bad happening.  We’ll also request the most experienced doctor to do the procedure in a month or so.
