The final stretch

Our CVS is done and now we just have to wait.

I barely slept last night and when we got into the scan room today, I could see the baby right in front of the placenta, which made it unaccessible. Luckily we were given the option of a transvaginal CVS or waiting 2 weeks. The pain of waiting has been so hard so we opted for the vaginal route. They say there is a higher risk of miscarriage at 2% but evidence doesn't prove that. Our midwives and doctor were amazing, so caring and compassionate. I held Ellie's blanket through it since it is her due date after all. The test was like bad period pains but quick. The doctor got the sample out in one and it was quite a large sample she said (though it looked tiny!). So now we wait til Friday or Monday and pray really hard that this baby is the one.

In terms of baby, he/she is growing lovely and they are super active compared to their sister! The dr could barely measure them. I must have a built in mp3 player in my womb!
