Elena's first triumph and test (of Mom's patience)

We got the awaited call from U of M today. The tests from the amnio came back completely normal. This means that many of the most serious chromosomal abnormalities can be eliminated from the list of possible complications.

The call from U of M was one that we were both dreading and wishing would come sooner. Needless to say, we are very happy with the results and we continue to have a very positive outlook.

It is becoming increasingly clear that little Elena is going to give her parents a run for their money. She seems to be very headstrong (could this possibly come from her mother!?!?) and likes to kick. Hard. Today she sent Mom to the the Dr. with what felt like persistent and uncomfortable spasms. After a quicky ultrasound and tonal heart check, we found that Elena was positioned belly down across Mom's tum, kicking her way toward "the exit."

As she writes this, Mom is in bed, as ordered by Dr, hoping that "Kiki/Kicky" will find a more suitable position for BOTH of us. Luckily, nothing at all serious, but scary none the less. Do they make soccer shoes in size newborn?

Oh man, Sar!! We are all on this ride with you - thinking about you and your soon to be fam of three - and wishing everyone health and sanity :) I'm so glad that you finally got your amnio results and that it was such good news!!! Good for you for going to the doc when you didn't feel right. It's so scary, but you gotta take care of yourself and get checked out for piece of mind. Hang in there! We love you,
