I have officially made my son feeling grossed-out. For about the past week and a half I have been feeling movement within my tummy and I have discussed this with Chris. For a kid who once enjoyed watching my moving belly every night is now grossed-out by the very thought of an actual tiny being living inside of me.

I even got his friends talking to my belly over the phone … hehe.

I’ve been talking about the amniocentesis with John over the weekend and he doesn’t want me to do it. He is looking forward to this baby so much that anything that even has the slightest chance of a miscarriage, he doesn’t want me doing. An amniocentesis has a 5% chance of miscarriage when done in the 15th-17th week, or about 1 out of 200 pregnancies. I’m already considered at high risk, and at first I was all for having this procedure done. Now I don’t know what I’m going to do. My next appointment is on Monday, and I’ll have ended my 13th week. My doctor has a lot of convincing to do and my final decision will be made then.

Until later …
