I am so glad I did the "speedy" version of the amnio. We got our results today after only 4 days!! Our baby is perfectly healthy!!!! Now, these results are only 93% accurate vs. standard version that is 99.9%, so they will notify me with those results in 2 weeks time. However, given that our baby only had an 8% chance of trisonomy 21 to begin with, I am satisfied that all is well. We would have loved our baby no matter what, but I am so happy we chose amnio. I feel like a million lbs have been lifted off my shoulders. I cried and cried at work when I got the phone call. It was just such a relief. And, it is team blue for us!! A beautiful, healthy baby boy!!! Debbie, you were right again my friend!!
Warren and I were talking today about what a long journey this has been. In all honesty, without the support I found here I think I would have given up. So many of you gave me the courage and strength to keep going. For those of you that are struggling still, I am here to tell you I am living proof that it can and does happen. And it's all worth it! I am so grateful to all of you for holding my hand through all of this. It's been 2 years and 5 losses and although I will always mourn the babies I lost, I am so very happy I didn't listen to what some others told me and give up. In January I will be holding my little man in my arms. XOXO Amanda...now, off to shop blue!!!!!!!
