A loaded post...

Last month we did the silly quad screen for the baby because I didn't want to do the 20 week ultrasound so we figured we'd do a blood test to check for problems. Well it came back that the baby might have Downs Syndrome. We learned that going to a specialist would only tell us if the baby had a 20% chance without an amniocentesis then we weren't going to do it. The prenatal care and delivery will be the same for a DS baby but after the baby is born it will be much different then a normal baby. So with all of this we decided that we weren't going to bother with it and not even worry. A 5% chance is not going to get me up in arms, right? So I've read a bunch of books and will look forward to a DS baby or not. We havn't decided if we are going to get a regular ultrasound or not. I am leaning to not getting it because we have to pay a lot for it. Other news...the moles are ok. No cancer! The semester is winding down and after today Brandon only has one final then we get to see him for 3 weeks!! Woo Hoo!!
