Chromosomes <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today we are scheduled to have an amniocentesis done to specifically see if Little Browne has Down Syndrome. This is something they worry more about in women that are 35 and older so we knew it going in, but it\u2019s still slightly stressful. There is a slight chance Annie won\u2019t have to have an amnio (which is where they stick a needle through the belly into the uterus to retrieve amniotic fluid) if the doctor explains that this other test, a normal blood test offers the same high accuracy.<\/p>\n

This other blood test is relatively new I guess, you can\u2019t get it everywhere\u2026but we\u2019re heading up to the beautiful oasis known as Salinas\u2026which is Spanish for \u201cArmpit\u201d (just kidding, calm down everyone). Anyways\u2026it may take up to a week to find out the results so I\u2019m not sure just how much info we\u2019ll actually come home with. Our first priority is to get through the amnio, although the chances are less than 5%, if the sack does not seal itself back up after the needle is pulled out\u2026we could lose the baby.<\/p>\n

The only reason I am sharing these things is because that\u2019s what this blog is for\u2026it\u2019s the happenings (the good, the bad, and the slightly traumatic) that we want to share because some of you might have gone through these experiences so you can make us feel better and we can then help others after our experience. One thing we\u2019ve discovered, as with the miscarriage we had in December 2011, is that people aren\u2019t talking about these things enough. Life is hard sometimes, we go through things we classify as \u201cpersonal\u201d, and I say bullshit to all of it.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re all on this journey together and a lot of this stuff should be shared and discussed. Well, it appears I\u2019m rambling again so I\u2019m going to stop so I can go get ready to drive my lovely wife to the Armpit\u2026uh\u2026Salinas that is. We will report back via the blog when we have information and on Facebook. A selfish moment for myself\u2026I\u2019d love it if you would share this blog or the Little Browne Facebook page with anyone you know that would be interested in having these life\/baby\/parenting discussions over time.<\/p>\n

Cheers, and Happy Friday (also International Ding Dong Day)!!<\/p>\n
