I am pleased to report that Monday is doing great! We went in for a Combined Ultrasound & blood test yesterday as a screener for chromosomal diseases, and we actually got to see Monday! We're please to report that Monday has the required 2 arms and 2 legs, but that was about all we could tell. We got some photos of her that we may post up... all 2 inches of her. We could see her heart beating quickly and the occasional bounce and movement. What an experience that is. The first results of the test came out really positively. By my age, there is a 1 in 600 chance to have Downs, by the skin/neck measurement, we're at about 1 in 2600 chance to have Downs. We should hear back in a week about the blood work and then there is one more blood work test at 16 weeks. But as of today, Monday is perfect, and I finally got a good nights rest with the stress of this first benchmark behind us.
We then went straight from there to dinner with the Reeths! We chatted for a long time and Tim finally announced it when the wine came -- much to everyone's excitement. What a way to bring family together. We had a wonderful dinner and then left after several rounds of hugs. After we got in the car, Debbie called Tim in tears just to tell him that he's going to be a great Dad, which is true, but it still made our night.
We're now in the process of rolling the news out to the family. Tim is calling his brother's today, and I will call mine tonight... after that, the cat (or Monday in this case) is out of the bag. YAY!!!
