The Results!!

I sat all day at my desk waiting for the call to come in, but no call came. I harassed the doctor's office twice hoping to hear that results had come in. No results. I resigned myself to the fact that I would probably be waiting until tomorrow....maybe longer....until I found out the fate of my babies. I had waited this long, after all. What's a few more days, right?

I got home at 5:15. I had missed their call by 14 minutes. The phone was dead. I let it charge for about 1/2 hour and called; holding my breath to hear what the message said. The nurse said she would wait until 6:00, specifically to get my call. I called her at 5:53.

I'm still having difficulty wrapping my head around the news I received.

I'm having difficulty forming a complete thought or sentence.

I'm wondering how well I'm going to sleep tonight.

A month and a half of pure torture waiting to find out how these precious two little beings forming in my womb are doing. But admist the torture, a strange sense of calm and peace about the whole thing (once the initial shock and despair had passed).

My babies (which are definitively two girls) have NO SIGNS OF ANY CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITY WHATSOEVER. None.

The nurse said she's not sure how to explain the growth that was there initially, but is no longer present.

But I know why. Because as I said earlier....those babies have the Great Physician in their corner and I had I don't know how many people out there praying for me, loving me and supporting me. People that I know and love dearly....and people whom I have never even met.

I have never felt such an enormous sense of relief; of happiness; of joy. I have been through quite a few difficulties in my life; but I don't think many have matched the fear of the unknown where these precious little girls are concerned.

It's a miracle....plain and simple. There is no other explanation.

I'm having a little party here....join me, won't you? Because my babies are A.O.K.

You all are amazing, wonderful people and I will never in a lifetime be able to show my gratitude to everyone.

Stay tuned over the next six months. There's still plenty of adventure to come....I'm sure of it!
