Amnio Results are in

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!!!!!!!
