Lori, I apologize. I did not intend for my words to cause you incontinence. May you find serenity in your life.

wow. and I thought you didn’t have a sense of humor. I laughed until I thought I would pee. especially your graph and the part about Han Solo frozen in carbonite, complete with a link so I could refresh my memory as to what Han Solo frozen in carbonite actually looks like. I will never look at nuchal translucency the same way again.

So glad to hear that everything is going well. We've been hoping and praying for you.
We thought our son went from looking like a blob, to a teddy graham, finally to alfred hitchcock. (There was a crazy profile ultrasound, luckily he bears no resemblence when we finally saw him).
Congrats and best wishes!!

Maria,

Loved your post. As the mother of an amazing daughter with Down syndrome, it is sometimes hard to accept that people actually terminate based on a trisomy diagnosis. In any case, I was 1 in 7,691-God works in mysterious ways and trumps science ;)

I am glad to see that the baby is healthy.Best of luck

So happy to see your baby will be healthy, but for your readers info...there are many support sites for trisomy 13 & 18 support. With the early screening, many opt to terminate, yet the families who do have children who are survivors with these syndromes tell of the many blessings these kids bring.

You're calling your wife ". . .a generic 33-year-old woman. . .?

For shame.

If she were generic, she wouldn't be a phenomenal nurse, fantastic wife and great mother!

Congratulations to the three, er, four of you. Our best for an uneventful pregnancy and birth.

Yaaaaaaaaaaay! Congratulations!

So did you get a guess at the gender? Both times I asked my peri at the 12-week u/s and he pretended I was twisting his arm, then immediately blurting out that it was a boy. :)
