Here's a quick and dirty post tonight to bring you all up to speed (sorry, I'm tired).

All good things tonight.  Friday we went to have a biophysical profile done - essentially a hopped up sonogram.  At the previous two sonograms, the baby's head was measuring about 24 weeks in size.  This time, 26 weeks.  Honestly, we were hoping for more, but we're truly thankful there's progress being made.  We are moving in the right direction.

This afternoon Shawna received a phone call from the PA at our fetal maternal specialist's office.  She had some additional results to share with us from the amniocentesis tests.  We knew the 13th, 18th, and 21st chromosomes had checked out okay - today we found out that all 46 chromosomes are accounted for and appear normal.  Thank you Lord!

The lab is now going to proceed with the next round of testing.  They are looking for Miller Dieker syndrome.  We're praying that is clear as well.

We meet again with the OB on Wednesday, and hopefully he's talked with the fetal maternal and come up with a plan for birth.  The last few days have been a great stride, and we believe things will continue that way.
