Menu Monday

Posting a bit earlier...at this point I know it's only me reading my blog. LOL I just wish I had more time to keep up with the blogger world. I just don't. Maybe after this baby is born. =0)

At an ultrasound a few weeks ago they informed me they suspect that our baby has Down Syndrome. To rule this out- this coming week we go through a round of tests to see what we can determine. I refused an amnio so they will have to determine what they can with a level 2 ultrasound and a fetal echo. It is all in God's hands and we are honestly not worried. We are excited to see our little one this Tuesday AND see what gender baby is! 18 weeks will be plenty far enough along to determine gender. *wink*

I'm reading too Amy! :) I am sorry, I sent you that e-mail forever ago and then my e-mail went wacky so don't think I was ignoring you. ;) It's all fixed now, so I will try to get a minute to drop you a line.

I also wanted to tell you that my dearest friend was told that her baby almost 100 percent had Downs (she also refused the amnio), and when their daughter Grace was born she was 100 percent perfect! She was their largest and most healthy, vibrant child and still is! We will continue to cover you and your baby in prayers. I would love for you to have a girl and you'll be all evened out. :)

I pop in and read, too! Do be aware that 'they' often make mistakes, but God never does. If Baby is born with Down's, s/he will sure be a delightful blessing, too. I simply love being with people who have Down's Syndrome. They are the most loving folks around! Chances are, though, that they are wrong. There are MANY false positives in those early tests.

Blessings!
