Good News!

Great news everyone! Today we had another ultrasound with a perinatologist (spelling??) and the cists on the kid's brain are gone! WAHOO!!! that is really quite helpful, since that means she is not at an increased risk for a genetic defect. but don't worry. some lame Genetics Counselor came in to talk to us and started saying all this crap about how our baby has a 1 in 600 (that's like 2/10's of 1 percent, in case you were wondering) chance of having Trisomy 18 ("Do you know what that is??" is what she said in her most condescending-I'm-talking-to-a-5-year-old tone) and if little Emily did have Trisomy 18 then she would be severely deformed and only live for a few hours. "but as of right now the ultrasound doesn't show any deformities at all so hopefully she will be fine." Nice. then why did you even bring it up lady?? Anyway, if you hadn't noticed, I was super bugged after our little chat. but the bottom line is that Emily is doing great and we are way excited!! Thanks for your fasting and prayers everyone. We really appreciate it.
