Before we left the doctors wanted me to do the genetic screener again, that high of a number caused them to think that there might have been some lab error and that perhaps it was a misread of my blood sample. So I went in and had another draw. They called me with new test results while we were in the LAX airport getting ready to fly to London. The results showed not much change, instead of a 16, it was a 12. So less, but still abnormally high with no real explanation yet. Still disappointed, and still very unsettled we went on our trip.
We left LA and flew to London, on the longest flight of my life, 11 hours. Being pregnant I had to get up and "walk the aisles" every couple hours while was harder than you would think, but we made it. It was squishy and uncomfortable, and I am so paying for an upgraded seat if I ever fly over 5 hours again :) We then flew from London to Barcelona where we had a hotel for the night and then boarded our cruise ship the next day. As we were making our travels on this day we started to see the same people on our flights, from Utah to LA, from LA to London, and started to connect that all these people had found the same deal we did and were going to be on our cruise. There were 2 other couples around our same age and many older couples. We started to chat and because good friends with 2 of the couples and in fact spent almost everyday of our cruise with one of them or both of them. It was fun to have some new friends on our trip.
I will spare the trip details because this is about Harper and not necessarily our trip to Europe (maybe a future post).
