Week 19

I went to the perinatology, or maternal fetal medicine, today. That's where I'd my "special" ultrasound (and no, it's not 3-d). The two buggers weren't too cooperative. They kept hiding their faces. The Doc said everything looks good, except for the head-to-limbs ratio is at the shorter end of the normal range. That is a soft-marker for down syndrome. And because they're identical (yes, my doc and this doc both agreed that they're identical and boys), they either both have down syndrome or don't have. I'll go back in 4 wks to check. I've decided not to do amniocentesis. PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS!
-pray that the babies will be healthy
-pray that the marker is just transient and it will go away the next time I go back
-pray for Preston and I to have strength and keep our faith in the Lord as we're going through all these.

As parents, you just want your children to be healthy. Thank you for all your prayers!
