Fish will you have results of your scan the same day? Here in Canada I would prob have to wait a few days :s

My heart breaks for Northern. The amnio she had wasn't to determine if there was a problem... it was to determine if the baby had a genetic issue. It would be important to know if there was a chromosomal abnormality since they want more children.

The results of her ultrasound showed a more than double increase in fluid in the ventricles in the baby's brain as well as fluid in the abdomen and heart abnormalities. All of these combined means this baby wouldn't have a good outcome. A small amount of brain swelling can be overcome but when the swelling is basically 250% what normal should be then it is almost certain the baby would have brain damage due to the swelling during development. Hopefully during the autopsy they will find the reason for these abnormalities (most likely an infection of some kind) however they may never know they reason this happened.

I think she made the best decision for herself and her family with the information that she had. I feel so bad for her that she is doubting herself however, given the amnio results and what doctors are telling her I think that is normal to a certain extent. She had two separate ultrasounds that showed the same abnormalities. I can't imagine the pain she is in and I am so thankful every day that I haven't had to be in that position.

Mrs P, very cute announcement! I can't take credit for it, I found the idea online somewhere!

Wantingpink, awesome cakes, that karate one looks HUGE could probably feed two army's of little boys! You're very talented!

This is the project I'm working on today, for my dining room.....

I'm making 3 of them and my hip and foot still hurt a lot so it might take a while to complete this task but I'll update with my pic when they are finally done! I'm just so excited to get thing put together in this house, I only have 3 things hanging on the wall TOTAL in my entire house and we have been here for a year and a half. I'm scared to hang things because I'm a perfectionist and if they aren't perfectly centered or level it drives me nuts! I'm not good at getting things level or centered so I just haven't done it. My walls are so bare, I just have to force myself to do it.

I too had terrible headaches with my DD1! Not with DD2 our this pregnancy, but hopefully that is a good sign for you D!

Love all your cute outfits WAG! I'm so ready to have some boy clothes in my house!!

The bellies are looking lovely, mine still hasn't popped yet...I took awhile to show with my girls too and never got very big but I still thought being my 3rd I'd have a big ol belly by now! Lol... Oh well ill take it, at least I can feel him now so I know he is there! Here is my 19 week pic...

Hey wag specialist will do scan she'll tell us what she can then but as northerns found thou I don't know if it will be cut and dry or an answer maybe just more wait and see ;-(

[fish2012]

Wanting I totally agree with you she made a very brave but very right choice Evelyn was very sick, what I meant was if you don't have an answer it raises questions the death of our twin makes me worry every second for the health of this baby ;-(. You question everything when they can't give a reason I didn't know they would do an autopsy hopefully that will provide an answer and some peace

Ugh posting from my phone and my pic is sideways! Sorry ill try and fix it when I get back to work since I'm obviously not having any luck atm! Lol

[Wanting-a-girl]

All these cute bellies, I can't wait to get mine! I'm like you 4giffins, I just don't look pg yet! For me it's frustrating because I'm chunking up but not popping out, I looked sooooo pg by this time with all my other 3. Right now people who don't know yet might think I've been eating donuts and pizza everyday (I sort of have been for the last few days lol)
