RESULTS! FINALLY!

We finally have our test results! First let me say that yes it is a girl!!! Jason wouldn't believe it until we had DNA proof. Well babe now you have your proof! It's a girl. We are being given the privilege to raise another angel. Our little girl has the same unbalanced chromosome as Aryn had. If you want the medical name it is partial trisome6 partial monosome3. This a familiar road to us. We don't consider this bad news. It is not what we hoped for, but we are at peace. The nervous feelings I have had for the last two weeks anticipating the results are finally gone. Now we know and we will take it one step at a time. We feel blessed and privilege to be trusted with such a special child again. We know how hard it is, but Aryn taught us many things. Just to name a few; we can do anything with the Lords help, he has a divine plan, and our challenges in life truly make us better. How could we be anything but grateful. I think the hardest part is the knowledge that her life will not be as long. So, here we go again. Oh, to add to the irony, the baby is due in February. What is it with that month and my family? Crazy!

OHH BABY

Since I never update my blog I dout anyone will see this. Still maybe it will help me a little. We are expecting. Given our history it is always a little scary at first for us. I have miscarried twice since Geoff. I am 16 weeks now. On Friday we went and had an amnio done. Yes, they stuck a 6 in. long needle into my belly. I did not look. Jason just watched on the screen to make sure they didn't poke our little nugget. Five weeks ago we had an ultrasound that showed extra fluid behind the babys neck. Of course they had a fancy name for it. It is a huge marker for cromosome abnormalities. So we assumed we were having another trisome6 baby. We are very much at peace with this although I was a little surprised. Aryn was the best two years of our life, so how could we complain. The ultrasound on Friday went very well. The baby looked great. She (yes I said she) was growing great, had a strong heart, the fluid behind the neck was gone, aminotic fluid was great, overall she looked like a perfectly healthy baby. They did notice a little bright spot on her heart. It doesn't mean much. The doc says they always go away it is just a minor marker for chromosome abnormalities. At the end he says there is probably a 50/50 chance here for a tri 6 baby. We just have to wait 10 days for the test results to come back. Ahhh 10 days. I am going crazy. I am happy with either outcome, but I just want to know. In the mean time I am happy to know we are having a girl. Jason says we have to wait to get the test back before he'll believe it. I say it fits our pattern; girl, boy, girl, boy, girl. So the waiting game begins. I asked them to give the results to Jason. I would rather him tell me the results instead of me telling him. He thinks it's great and I hope he doesn't tourcher me with it.
