We received our amnio results and we are having a baby girl. Her name is Grace. My OBGYN called late this afternoon with the results. Everything looks perfect.
What I didn't expect was the rush of tears that followed. Excitement, relief that everything was okay, and now guilt. I don't really know why I feel guilty about the test results. I guess because of our situation. Life is so funny. I wanted the test, so that I wouldn't worry and now I feel guilty because I am relieved that the test results are "normal." Emotions are funny things.
Emma shared in the excitement today. I don't know if she understood totally what we were celebrating, but she had fun anyway...
...And to Hayden...I am sorry your dream didn't come true, but I bet Grace will LOVE you even more than Emma.

So wonderful to hear that Grace is doing well. I think your feelings (especially with the pregnancy hormones in there as well) are perfectly normal. After all much as we adore our children it isn't as if you'd really choose that extra chromosome would you - it is just that it comes as part of a particular package and after a while you have trouble telling where it ends and begins - but it does present challenges and no parent actually wants for their child to have to face additional challenges. Good luck!
Congrats! I used to nanny for a family that had four kids and two of them were Emma and Grace! Sisters are so much fun!
