Well that was a "chance" meeting that was meant to be. Funny sometimes what the universe sends us just when we need it. That's some pretty encouraging information and echos much of what a few others have been saying. Good to watch and see what is developing so that an expectant mother can be prepared and counseled beforehand if need be.
And of course you're still worried. This is where it starts and will never end for you and your child's lifetime together!

The amnio was an experience in itself and presented a whole other adventure for me, but did reassure me once the test results were back. However it was just one of the many conversations I would have with my daughter before she was born. I was watching the monitor and could see where they were inserting the needle. Darn curious baby started to move too closely to the needle so they had to pull it out and reinsert. I told her to be still and leave that thing alone!
After the second insertion, she did.

Good girl.

I also agree it would be best for you to have your mind put at rest so you can enjoy your pregnancy. Once most of our initial testing was done I was fairly laid back right up to her C-secton birth. I had one of the calmest, sweetest babies ever who loved to cuddle, napped for 3 hours at a time, and slept through the night at just 5 weeks.
It's about time you and your little baby girl started enjoying the "honeymoon" phase of your pregnancy. We'll all be waiting to hear what happens on Tuesday.

Thank you! I doubt they can get me into Wenatchee for an amino before the 28th (which is my next ultrasound) --so I might schedule it for May or something and cancel it if the heart issue has resolved by the ultrasound. Who knows? I think after all the crap I've been reading and how little sleep I'm getting--I will probably ask for it ASAP and just pray to God everything is okay.

Invest in some electric fencing and a "bull" strength charger. There are many websites on how to string the wire just so for different predators....it works and you can sit back and watch/hear her get zapped and laugh. Or, keep your birds locked up--OR get a pellet or BB rifle with a scope and when she even tries to get after your birds, pop her one. Just don't hit her eyes.

they are free ranging in the yard. they have a run and coop but I let them out when I am home. they stick pretty close to the buildings.
I do have electric fence on that side of the property with a good box, keep cows,pigs, and little mad mules inside. stud horses too although he doesnt need one. I have a .223 rifle... she is safe until she tries to attack something. They are responsible for keeping their dog home, I am not its babysitter. They are nice and will do something to keep her home...
I usually herd up the chickens and lock them up if I see wandering dogs, today was a no go though lol, they are tired of staying in due to this rotten dang rain. no cooperating today!!

I am so sorry for your loss and your troubles. I encourage everyone, not just the elderly, to seriously think about what they want to happen should they face a medical emergency. Too often healthcare workers with a patient that is no longer able to make their own decisions has to deal with a family that can't come to an agreement about what should be done. Often, even those closest to us may think we want more or less done than we actually want for ourselves.

There is this great, easy to use, packet that comes in 26 languages including a bilingual english/spanish format and braille that goes step by step through many of the decisions that occur when we are no longer able to make decisions for ourselves or are near death. The Hospice House here uses these forms, as do many hospice care services around the country. My husband and I have filled these out. To get one, go to http://www.agingwithdignity.org/five-wishes.php
 
RFF, hang in there girl.

Chicky, hang in there girl

Pips and peeps, my son is not DS but has a disability due to doctors telling me a Vbac is perfectly safe. My son was perfect until the birth and my uterus ruptured. As much as we wished they were normal, chidren with disabilities are gifts in one way or another. Your daughter is beautiful.

Anyone else out there, don't go with a vbac, please don't believe them.

Sorry....I guess you have to live here to appreciate what she is saying....I understand and AGREE 100% x 1,000. My only concern for you, is that hopefully your insurance will not question the referral and be stinky about it. GET OUT OF TOWN though...and I quote "To a real Hospital". Don't EVER have anything orthopedic done here locally....EVER. Go to at least Wenatchee.

It is a small town thing. We have quite a few quacks (no T-hi and Linda not ducks - I mean not good docs)...but there are a few good ones....but for anything that is serious...get out of town. I had to demand that a certain MD (yes a MD) do blood work on me. She then was going to prescribe me 3 perscriptions....1. Sleeping aid. 2. Anti-depressant. 3. Female "mood" enhancer

I knew what the problem was and she would not listen to me....I had done enough research...I was premenopausal....I finally found a female provider (in Chelan) who would listen and took proper tests and I feel great now. QUACKS....all QUACKS. Sorry T-Hi and Linda....don't get excited...not ducks again.

Hello love.
You and your family are in my prayers. Please know that we (on the EAst side) are thinking of you and your family. I wish there was something I could do to help. I want to cry

just reading your post. Blueduckling is very right....off to better hands....but sometimes it is so hard to let go. I am sorry you are having to go through all of this. You in pain makes my heart ache....I hate to see my friends hurt. I wish you and your family peace of heart and mind. I think, nowofdays, that EMTs and medical staff are a bit more considerate with allowing for loved ones to spend the time with their family as necessary.
God bless.
