Shelby's Life and Whatnot

Where did the time go?

It's hard to believe, but tomorrow I'm going to be 35 years old (or in Hillary's terms, as of tomorrow I'll have 35 years of experience). Where did the time go? I really don't feel old. At the ob's office on Thursday I was instructed to make a genetic counseling appointment due to AMA, which stands for Advanced Maternal Age. After that appointment and some preliminary tests I've had done, we will then get to decide if we want to have an amniocentesis or not, since that's offered to every mother of AMA. We've decided to see what the geneticist and test results say before making that decision--not an easy one to be sure. The good news is that I have a lot of wacky health issues but no known genetic diseases in my family tree, and while Kevin is missing one grandparent branch, there don't seem to be any genetic issues on his side either. My gut instinct is that everything is A-OK with the baby though. So that's a good thing!
