What I Expected...

I had my follow up with my OB today. As usual, he was his concerned yet 'chill' self. I didn't have any major physical concerns so that made the appointment pretty quick. I asked about the bruise in the vein on the top of my wrist, I know - silly, but it's still bugging me. It's not infected or anything just pretty sensitive still. I am able to feel the cysts on my ovaries but they're not causing pain, just a small annoyance and he expects them to be back to normal in less than 6 weeks. He lifted all physical 'restrictions' and just requested that we wait one maybe two cycles before trying again. Ugh. My heart is screaming "I shouldn't be having to try again!" It doesn't help that my attitude is cruddy today.

Not that it matters now, but I did ask about the actual numbers that the MFM doc came up with after figuring my age, scan results and blood test results. My risk for T21 went from 1 in 420 to 1 in 660 and for T18 it went from 1 in something to <1 in 10,000. He also had the pathology results and there were no revelations of anything that we didn't already know, a normal pregnancy except for that pesky no beating heart thing.

On the upside, nothing went wrong with the procedure and I'm healing fine so before too long, I should be back to normal. What ever that means these days.

On a totally unrelated note, the kids have been pretty funny lately and coming up with some off the wall stuff. First, the other night we were driving home and Karleigh asked "Hey, what do kangaroos eat?" Before I could answer her, I hear Rylan answer : "kangarootbeer!" Funny little guy but he often keeps those little things to himself. Then yesterday, Karleigh looked at me and said "Mom? What if some day some girl asks Rylan to marry her? Like she just walks up to us and looks at me and says 'move over, this is my boy now!' all snotty. What do you think about that? That would be sad huh?" I said, well, some day that might kind of happen and Rylan will probably get married. She looked at me and said "well, then let's never go to the park again. I love him." Silly girl! It's a blessing to have them and be totally thankful for them but at the same time it makes what I'm missing all the more crystal clear.
