Susan, You are so wonderful. This blow by blow is exactly what I like to here. You can read about the test but experience is far better to read about. I am sure this helps alot of "mom to be's" out there worried about the CVS.  Nothing is worse than the unknowing. Thank you for sharing such personal details. I will continue to pray for you two. Give your tummy a pat and tell him/her,  good job staying out of the way. Don't forget to rest!!!      P.S. I like the graphics of that needle size. Thanks, I almost fainted.
