The good news

Dr. Ang called.
He has good news.

The little one is healthy, with no down syndrome.
He is a baby boy. (:

I'm more thrilled to know that the little one's alright.
Momma's gonna continue protecting you.

Week 13

The ultrasound screen shows little love sleeping inside me.
I was filled with jitters, so afraid of going into the procedure room.

Hunz held my hands and showered hugs. It was comforting but I was still afraid.

My name was called out, he had to stay outside.
The LA hurts, but the introducer hurts worse.
My focus was on the little one; like guided by the sonographer, I kept focusing on him.
The biopsy hurt like crap.
I lost count of the samples taken.
I heard the consultant said "PCR" but I couldn't remember what it meant that instance.

Then, it was all over. I was out of the procedure suite, ready to be discharged.
Three days of complete rest in bed was there waiting.

Week 12

Dr. Ang called.
The OSCAR result was ready.
The little one was at high risk for down syndrome at birth.

My world crashed.
It was a roller coaster ride before deciding to have him stay.
And now this.

The first thing flashed across my head was if it was karma.
Karma for even harboring thoughts of erasing him from my life.

I cried.
My heart sank.
It felt so bad that I've never been so hurt before.

Hunz and I had two options.
A CVS test next week or Amniocentesis at 5 months.

We're going for the CVS.
It's easier now than later.
