Another hurdle down...

Those all too familiar blood work tests are becoming more and more fun and from what I understand the Glucose one is the really fun one!
I got my latest test results back today for the AFP quad-screening and my nurse gave me a little scare when she called to give me the results. I missed her call and so she just left me a message. Well you have to understand this is what I'm used to hearing: "No news it good news!!" and when I got her message that she had my test results... my heart fell into my stomach ... and of course I didn't get her message until after 5 so I couldn't call her back yesterday. Golly that's probably why I didn't sleep well that night! And on top of that they aren't open every Friday... so I didn't know if I was gonna have to wait until Monday to get he result or not.
Well I called at 8:30 Friday morning, low and behold they were there and the nurse, Shannon answered the phone.
"Shannon it's Jennifer ... everything okay??? "
"Girl everything's fine ... the results all came back negative"

Okay big huge boulder was now lifting off my chest...everything's NEGATIVE. Whew!!
Okay so I know this is just a screening so its not 100% but it's at least a good sign for now. I always try to stay positive but there is always that little noise at the back of mind telling me "Well what if ..." or "Could still be ..."


ON ANOTHER NOTE:
I was thinking (I do a lot of that these days!)... my due date falls awfully close to my miscarriage last summer. Wouldn't that be something if the baby was born on that or around that day. One of my girlfriends, Amanda, said "Yep you never know that may be GOD's way of giving you a happy memory for that painful memory." Well I guess we'll just have to wait and see what GOD's plan is as we come closer to the time.
