TeSt DaY...

Yesterday I had my C.V.S. test. (stands for Chorionic Villus Sampling) They take a sample of cells. It is always done early in the pregnancy. I have had it done with my two boys. I never had any complications but is still very scary. There is a small risk of miscarriage and limb deformities. My procedure was done transabdominally. They go through my belly with a huge needle. About 8 inches long and pretty thick. They do numb your skin but that is it. I prefer this way. They also do this vaginally and I really hate that. It still really hurts and is no fun. Everything went well. But is still very draining emotionally and physically. I just wanted to go home and get in bed. I will have my results back by Thursday. The one fun upside to all this is I get to find out the sex this early on. So I can't wait for that. Also lets all hope and pray for a healthy little babe!
