Testing My Ability

This pregnancy hasn't been easy.

I've been thrown through some loops in this one, especially with the appendix thing.

And considering I got an infection in two of the incision scars from that operation, it was more than I can handle while being 21 weeks pregnant and fighting the urge to waddle everywhere.

On top of all of that, I received news this week that my baby had a cyst on her brain. Typically called a choroid plexus cyst.

With worrying over that, the fate of my child and dealing with infections this week has truly tested my ability.

I'm happy to say both baby and I have pulled through.

After genetic counseling (where they ask if my husband and I were related!) and an in-depth sonogram, we are happy to report that the baby is fine and that the cyst should dissipate in 4-6 weeks.

(This is the part of the post where you picture me sighing a HUGE sigh of relief).

But of course after all of this, I'm exhausted.

Even though the weight of all of this has been lifted, I feel like I've been run over by a truck and dragged about three miles.

But my baby is fine and that's all that matters.

Thank goodness for that.

LoL we did our genetic counseling too... except when we got to the "are you related" questions, I said "yes" and then looked at them like they were nuts for not knowing this. I let them sweat it out for a minute or two and stumble on their words before I smiled sweetly and told them of course we weren't related. It was fun and I needed the laugh.

I sad to hear that you're having such a time. I'm sure it's great to hear that all should be fine in 4-6 weeks, but I also know the sigh of relief won't truly come until you get that clean sonogram. I'm praying for you all. Hang in there.
