18 Weeks!!

This has been a week of downs and ups with emotion, worry and thinking!!! Last Thrusday I received a phone call to go in and see Dr. Voges for an update on my blood work. J-P and I went in and I was hit in the gut with, "There is a high possibility that your child has down's syndrome!"

Where does a parent go from there? You wait for the specialist to call you to let you know when your 3-D apt is in Moncton and you worry......you confide in those closest to you because your mind will completely drive you nuts with thinking and worrying. And if you are lucky, you have a wonderful husband who holds you while silent tears of hope and despair fall down your face......if you're even luckier you have a wonderful perfect child already at home that you follow around in awe to keep your mind busy.

We went to Moncton this past Tuesday and had a 1 hour session with Dr. Murphy who is wonderful!! She doesn't pussyfoot around anything and tells you that if she sees anything positive or negative, she will tell you right away.......she does not make you wait 2 to 4 weeks to see your regular doctor for results.....god love her!!!

The baby is fine! Perfect to say the least........it seems that my dates were off and that we didn't conceive when we thought we did. It seems so stupid now that that's all it was!! But that is what it was.......My due date is now September 11th instead of August 25th.

I'm relieved and so is Daddy!! I now have my appetite back, my sense of humour, my sex drive!! Everything is beautiful, including this child!!!
