48 hours post-amnio

so, we got back from Vancover yesterday. here's the recap of our visit to BC Women's Hospital:

8:45am I checked into registration
9:00am Had a detailed ultrasound by a very good technician who was kind enough to tell me each step/each view she was looking at. The scan was normal.

10:30am Met with a genetic counsellor. It was a fairly short visit since the scan was normal. He was very personable and we just answered some questions about our family history.

break for a walk/lunch

12:45pm. Check back in and meet with a nurse to sign consent forms for amnio. A bit scary. Yes, I know the risks thank you (.5% chance of miscarriage).

1:15pm. Amnio procedure. A great nurse, u/s tech and a very kind doctor. It did pinch (okay hurt a bit). But I'm okay and I seem to be fine 48 hours post amnio.

The results will be here in about 2 weeks. Hoping and praying for good news.
