46XY

We finally got the results of the amnio. They came back as 46XY, normal boy!!!! So at least as far as chromosomes go, everything is fine. The reason it took so long is they kept looking and growing the cells because something was supposed to be wrong and nothing was. Thank you so much for all the prayers!!!!! We have the 20 week ultrasound in a couple weeks where they will look for any abnormalities the amnio didn't pick up, but anything they find at this point should be fixable with surgery.

I'm relieved and exited, but I think I'm still mentally in shock. I was waiting to hear WHAT was wrong, I wouldn't let myself even hope that it would come out alright. So, it's all still sinking in. It has been a long 9 weeks, waiting and worrying. I still have to wrap my brain around that fact that it's all going to be okay. I hadn't even been able to pray that the baby would be healthy-- they kids did, they would pray that the baby would live and by healthy-- I just kept praying that we would have the strength and support to get through whatever trial Heavenly Father was sending us.

Wow, it still doesn't feel real. I asked the nurse 4 times when she called if they were really sure. I feel like I'm in one of those snowglobes and everything was shaken up like crazy and it's just starting to settle again.

Thank you again for all the prayers and love.
