Good News

Other good news to share is that Meghan is officially in her 19th week as of this morning. She is almost halfway through the pregnancy. It is truly unbelievable. We received the results of the quadruple screen yesterday and they were all negative. This is the blood test that tells us if Meghan is a carrier for cystic fibrosis. Since she is not, then we do not have to worry abotu this with any of the future children we decide to have! The screen also confirmed that this fetus does not have Down Syndrome, Trisomy 18, or and neural tube defects. We're looking at one healthy fetus so far!! Not that I ever doubted it... but there may be someone else we all know who has been a little nervous about the health of our little one... that person shall remain nameless.

I was thinking about the in utero pictures I posted the other day. Amazing that we tink we can detect features of the baby in the face that look like us, and yet we can't discriminate between the fetus' penis or vagina. Obviously our observations about the facial features are confabulations!
