About a week later, our genetic counselor called to give us the good news that the full amnio results were back and everything was "normal." Another sigh. We were scheduled for an ultrasound to check out our little guy on February 17, 2011.
As this date approached, I was excited and so very nervous. One of my new worries was hydrocephalus setting in. It seems that the longer fluid is pressing on the brain, the more brain damage occurs. I felt him moving and we were both growing. I just wondered what was happening in that tiny brain of his.
Each day brought worries, but I was enjoying my pregnancy again. It is all so amazing. I was seeing signs everywhere. Passing a church one day, I read what they had posted on their sign: "Worry does not take away tomorrow's sorrows. It only takes away today's strength." My new motto (well, most of the time!)
I continued to reach out to people: family, friends, strangers, people of faith, etc. I found comfort from each of them.
