well well well

Well, it's been an interesting month and a half, to say the least. We had a bit of a scare... when found out we were high risk for down syndrome. We didn't tell everyone, mostly because it was a very emotional and challenging time for Andy and I, and we needed to find out more about the health of our baby before we involved too many others. Also, because of the high risk, we needed to do an amnio. Though it was a stressful thing, Andy and I did our best to keep a positive attitude and trust that the Lord had our little peanut's life in His hands.
Last week we went in to do the amnio, and were told that we would get our results sometime this week. Yesterday I saw the missed call on my phone yesterday, and i felt my heart start slamming against my chest. I got Andy on the phone and we called the genetisist back to hear the news..."your baby is healthy and normal." HEALTY AND NORMAL!! sounded like diamonds and gold to me!!! Though we had all decided to be positive and had continued to hear "everything will be fine" from our families, i hadn't been able to let myself believe without proof that everything would be ok. Only I knew the fear i had.
But after talking to the doctor yesterday, I feel like the world looks different. I can look at baby stuff and feel truly excited! ( just started my registry on babies R Us!!) I can picture my little one running around the house naked, playing with the dog, actually being alive! it's pretty cool.
There was one other cool thing the doctor said when we were on the phone....he told us the sex. That's right!! But before i make it official and tell the world, who wants to guess???
