People always tell us that we would become complacent with our second and subsequent pregnancies. I guess our little Alfee could not let that happen and I must say, he has succeeded. His presence is very felt and there isn't a single day we don't think (worry) about him.
At first, there was some spotting and my gynaecologist labelled him as "threatened abortion". Then came a series of unstoppable morning sickness, unbearable bloatedness, loss of appetite and mysterious hives. Unfortunately, my condition has not been improving at all and I doubt I would ever enter the "honeymoon" period. Still, I entered my "nesting" period and started bought a bouncer and playgym for him.
Then came the Oscar Test results a few days after that, and put my nesting instincts in cold storage. We waited almost a month before we could do an amniocentesis procedure. And the results would only be ready in two weeks. We opted for PCR which consists only the results for common choromonal abnormalitites. Thank God, Alfee is so far normal and healthy. However, we still have to wait for the full report.
So much to worry for us and I am sure there will be more to come. I guess I am trying to get by each day, seeing each challenge as rainbow hurdles for me to jump over. Some require calculated moves while others are just leaps of faith.
