12 Week Checkup

Friday was our 12 week checkup for the baby. We decided to do the early Down Syndrome test which meant another peek at the baby. I still have to wait on the blood test but everything looked normal with the ultrasound. Mom was able to join me for the appointment. Her first time to an ultrasound and I'm sure she enjoyed the chance to see grandbaby #9. The baby was kicking and stretching and letting that heart beat at 171/bpm. Even though the Dr. visit went well, I had another scare a few days earlier. Steve had been on travel all last week so on Wednesday, I went with a co-worker to pick up a take out order. I couldn't have been in the car more than 15 minutes with him. On Thursday, he calls from home to say, "Oh by the way, I was diagnosed with chicken pox." When was the last time, you heard of a 30+ year old adult say such a thing. Luckily, I had chicken pox as a child but the Dr. says I could have lost my immunity. While at the Dr., I also learned that I'm not immune to German measles. Heaven help me if I run into someone with the measles. I might just strangle them.
