This week we got to see the baby during an ultrasound and we took the blood test to check for chromosome issues such as down syndrome and Trisomy. The blood test will also reveal if we are having a boy or a girl. That will take about 10 days to come back. I had a gender reveal lunch planned for this Sunday but since the results won't be back..... Now we are just doing a cake at our upcoming fundraiser. Since this is our last one, I wanted to be surprised instead of surprising everyone else.
This week I can feel my energy slowly coming back. I don't feel as tired as I have been. I might actually get some things done now. Baby's room has been a storage room lately for all things Mended Little Hearts and Asher James Foundation. There are just two more things coming up and then that room might actually be cleaned out. Although I don't want to decorate the room until after 27 weeks. We lost Olivia at 27 weeks and found out about Asher's heart at 26 weeks so I just don't want to get carried away. It would be nice to start organizing it though.

It's been a very busy exhausting two weeks. I went to Washington D.C. during the 10 week period for the CHD Legislative Conference to advocate for more funding and data collection (I'll blog more on this trip on the home page). It was a very fun, motivating trip but I couldn't sleep comfortably so I was completely exhausted when I got home. The tiredness is not letting up at all. I wake up so tired. The morning sickness comes and goes. I am so ready for the 2nd trimester just to have some energy back. I am a very outgoing person that can get a lot done and never sits still but this first trimester has kicked my butt and it has taken everything I have to get anything done.
