Today, 4 February 2014, I had my 14 week checkup with Tricia. No ultrasound today, only the doppler to listen to the heartbeat. Sounds good! Nice and strong. Next appointment: 4 March.
While at the doctor's office I asked if they had received the results of my genetic tests. I called Atlanta Maternal Fetal Medicine on 31 Jan, as I thought they would have had the results by then. They should have been in, but the Atlanta "Snowpocalypse 2014" completely shut down the city for 2 days. I was told they should be in the next day or two.
Tricia did not have the results yet, so I called again when I got home. I was hoping to get the big news with Blaine right there, but I only got the nurse's voicemail. I got a call back later (while at Target), and was told that I had good results - all my tests came back with very low risks for all the different tested chromosomal abnormalities. She then asked if I wanted to know the baby's gender. Uh, yes, please!... It's a little boy!
I went straight home and told Evan he was going to have a little brother. He is very happy with this news, and says he is going to let him play with his cars. He's going to be such a good big brother. Now I'll just have to find some way to keep my sanity with 3 boys ruling the house!
