Hi All,

Well, Monday is the 'big' day. I have an amnio scheduled for 10:00 monday morning and I will have to admit I am a bit nervous. I am not nervous about the procedure itself (after two heperan shots a day in the stomach for three months, one more isn't all that scarey to me), but I am nervous about the results. I know they do a level two sonogram before the amnio, and if all looks well they do the amnio, so I am just praying this baby looks good and all is going ok. Oddly, I never used to worry about birth defects or chromosome issues until my last miscarriage, when it was discovered that the baby had an extra #9 chromosome, now it seems to be all I can think about and sometimes wonder if it was wise for us to do this in the first place because of my age. I keep trying to remind myself that trisomy 9 is a very common occurance and that the likelyhood of another trisomy baby is no greater or lesser then before, but it isn't working....

Anyway, Please keep us in your prayers everyone.

Thanks for listening.
