I have been MIA

So aside from me being only able to bump at night due to work, I took an unannounced break from the board this week.  Following an initial good NT scan last Friday, on Tuesday I was informed that my blood work put me in the high risk category for Trisomy 21 (Down's Syndrome).  DH and I were devastated and opted for a CVS test, which was done yesterday.  We chose to receive the FISH results within 24 hours, which is an early screen that makes sure there are 2 copies of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, and the sex chromosome.  Well those results came back good...two pairs of everything just like there should be.  Phew thank God!  We won't have the full results for 9 more days, which will tell us how all the chromosomes are looking and if they are structurally correct, but for now we can breathe a sigh of relief.  The bonus is that we were told the sex chromosome is XX, so that means GIRL!  TEAM PINK!  I finally feel like there is something to be excited about with this pregnancy.  Being PGAL is hard enough as it is, but then add having been hospitalized for the flu a few weeks ago and then scary NT results, I have been an emotional wreck.  Which is why I needed to step back from the board.  But now that things are looking more promising, I plan to start contributing more.  I hope you ladies are all doing well!

  • Diana, I'm so happy for you!!!!  I'm sorry it's been a rough few weeks (I did notice your absence but I thought it was the sickness).  But I'm so glad that the test results came back better.  And YAY for a girl!  :)
