baby lukas

[sleepless_mom]

Please pray super hard today for baby Lukas (now almost 24 weeks). My own blood karyotype should come back from Genzyme labs--as many of you know I'm praying really hard that somehow I also carry the supernumerary chromosomes that showed up in my amnio--the likelihood isn't that good, but I'm still holding onto a thread of hope. If not, I will be in the same painful situation of uncertainty, either until they can determine a known disorder from Lukas abnormal DNA or decide it's a de novo event (new) which will mean waiting until Lukas is born. De novo is the better option  in my mind since I can always pray that it isn't as horrible as what some of the diagnosed anomalies mean for Lukas and us. I don't know if they'll have me come in or just tell me over the phone. Probably depends on how bad the news is and if they think I'll have a breakdown.

I really need some good news tomorrow or I might be asking for meds (seriously). I still have to somehow tell my 4 year old, I can't even face telling him he has a baby brother on the way... it hurts to even think about it.
