Preliminary Results are back = ) Very good news!

What a stressful morning waiting for the phone call!! I am very happy to share that our preliminary FISH results look good!! No evidence of chromosomal issues for downs & trisomy 13 & 18.  And it confirmed we are having a boy!  I am so happy but it is also hard for me to express because I am feeling so drained from all the stress the last few weeks.  I called my parents and my dad answered -- he said he was initially worried because my voice sounded so tired!  I have to say I feel like a ton of bricks have been lifted off my shoulders!! The full report should be back in 7-10 days.  There could still be something concerning that comes back but the FISH test covers the most common issues.

I am going to try to take a break from worrying but it will be hard! I will be worrying about everything else especially the single artery umbilical cord.  I have another OB appt in 2 weeks where I plan on talking to him more about this, and asking for additional monitoring.  I am also hoping to hear back at that point on the Antibody testing, which if it is abnormal may require additional monitoring too.  I will not complain if I get more ultrasounds than normal as I love seeing my little boy!

Thank you for the positive thoughts & comments! I appreciate them very much!!
