A huge wave of relief

At the end of August I had an amnio done to see if our little baby had the genetic disorder that Jeremy carries. Besides the amnio being scary in and of itself, the wait was horrific. Try keeping your mind busy and not wondering if your baby is going to live or not. Not cool.


BUT, when we got the call from the geneticist, they had good news! As far as their test shows (which is 99.something percent accurate) our baby is completely HEALTHY! In fact, this little guy (who we thought was a guy and genetics confirmed it) is apparently not even a CARRIER.


We are thrilled beyond belief. All of my wishes/desires/prayers have been answered. Sometimes I wonder why me? But, for now, I am just grateful. Very Grateful.

Geez Britni! This just made me teary all over again. I've been thinking about you a lot and hope you're feeling well. This new baby boy really does make me happy every time I think about him! Miss you and give those cute girls a big hug for me!
