It's been an emotionally exhausting past few days. At Mondays ultrasounds we saw even more issues affecting baby "A" which lead the doctors to strongly believe she has a chromosomal abnormality calledTrisomy 13. Because they are identical twins we learned that means our other girl could be affected too, just presenting differently. On Wednesday we thought we had already had the worst news. Then we learned that if baby "A" does have Trisomy 13 there is a less than 1% chance our other daughter doesn't, especially since she is also presenting a cleft lip (a soft indicator for T13). There is so much complexity that comes in to play with gentics, but seeing illustrations ect., it was painfully easy to understand the odds not being in our favor. We will know more in the next few days/weeks. Working on regaining/holding on to a sense of peace. Thank you so much for your continued prayers. All of the love and support is encouraging. I know that there is a reason for all of this even if we don't understand. I keep praying for peace and trust even when things don't go the way that I planned. I have already seen God working in so many ways through this experience and have no doubt he is bringing people and relationships into my life in ways they would never have been before.
