Hi all!

| Just some moose from our trip to Jackson. |
So I posted this to Facebook already as well but thought I'd just elaborate a bit more on here. I got a call today from the doctor with my blood test results. They were early so obviously my mind was racing thinking this could go any direction. "Maybe they're calling early because it's negative. Or maybe it's because it was clearly normal...ugh!" So of course I called, shaking, feeling numb-ready to receive any results. After the initial shock from last week hearing there might be a chance that my baby boy was not going to be as healthy as we thought, I had accepted that no matter what, he was going to be my little boy and I would love him forever. Surprisingly, I stayed away from the internet in order to not further freak myself out, only to look earlier today and actual found some really encouraging information about children with Downs. Like I said, i was prepared for anything at this point so I was happy that instead of freaking out, it had quite the adverse affect and I actually felt ok. But as it turns out my test results ARE NORMAL! No infections, the chance of Downs was 1 in 22,000, a couple of other things but I don't remember...sometimes doctors give too much information and I can only handle so much so fast, but all was well. I still have the genetic testing that I am waiting on and that will determine the chances of Cystic Fibrosis and whether I am a carrier or not. I will update again when we hear more about that, but for now, it was nice to have some good news, and the trip to Jackson we took over the weekend definitely helped us both decompress and come back with a more positive perspective.
