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!!!!!!!

this is great news! Your patience has paid-off and your time has come... no one deserves this blessing more than you! Everyone is thrilled for you!

I heard on the news today that Celine Dion is finally pregnant after many many years of trying through IVF and ICSI... she finally got her wish and is expecting in May 2010... it always makes me happy when a fellow "infertile" finally gets pregnant!

Congrats Amanda!
