Ultrasound today

We have a level-2 ultrasound scheduled for this morning. It should be incredible to see how God's handiwork is taking place in Sandra!

Because we are old, there is an increased risk for chromosomal disorders with this child. That is what drives this more intense ultrasound today. Based on the nuchal translucency test we had performed, we were told that our risk for Downs' Syndrome with our new child is increased from 1 in 270 (the average of women over the age of 35) to 1 in 42.

But I put no faith in odds-makers.

This pregnancy was never supposed to happen, according to odds-makers. Once again, we are reminded that God alone is the giver of life, and He does as He pleases. Miracles happen every day. And if He sees fit to bless us with a child with Downs' or any other issue, so be it...Blessed be the name of the Lord! If that is the case, it is exactly what is best for us.

So, I'll post more, and hopefully pictures when I return. More as it happens...
