New meaning to the Two Week Wait 😬

All of us know the exciting feeling of the two week wait. Excitement, anxiousness, giddy. Then you see those two lines (as faint as that second one might be) and your life changes forever. Well, 17 weeks later that two week wait means something much different to us. In two weeks we will be finding out whether our little boy has Cystic Fibrosis. I chose to have an amniocentesis after finding out my husband and I both carry the gene. For anyone questioning whether or not to get one done, I will say this: it hurts, and it may not be as easy as they say. It took 2 doctors, 2 needles, and 20 minutes to get done, all while feeling everything. But, it’s worth it to know for sure if your child has any defects or genetic issues. Whether you choose to continue your pregnancy or not is up to you, but it will help you become better prepared no matter the situation.

Now during this lovely new sense of the “two week wait”, my husband and I have tested positive for Covid. Nothing during this pregnancy has been easy. From the year long wait to get a positive test after a miscarriage, to the horrible morning sickness, to finding out we are both CF carriers, to having a traumatic amniocentesis (by no fault of the doctor should I add), to being told he also might have a blocked bowel (which can also be a sign of CF), to now quarentining while Covid positive away from our families while awaiting our amnio results. What a time 2020 has been 🙄🙄
