August 12,2008 Baby Scare

I had another appointment with the high-risk doctor for a scan. And what a nighmare that turned out to be. The doctor said that there were some small markers for Down's Syndrome showing up on our baby. We were told that he had a short nose bone and blood in his bowel.How upsetting this news was. And then the decision to have an amnio done. Which I had said in the beginning I would not have done. But now with the new news I was stressing out. So after crying and talking with Gary I decided that I could not go the rest of the pregnancy without knowing if our baby had Down's. Not that it would change our decision to keep the baby. We already loved the baby and would not think about ending the pregnancy.So I had the Amnio done and it was not as painful as I thought it was going to be, It was a very quick procedure. So then we have to wait till the end of the week for a preliminary test result.
