The baby is beautifully and perfectly formed. There were no structural or soft tissue markers that indicated a chromosome disorder. Specifically the doctor was pleased to see straight and outstretched fingers on both hands, an indicator that virtually always points to a healthy baby (Trisomy 18 babies always have clenched fists, among many other possible problems).
This is still not a formal diagnosis, but the doctor was confident that no other investigation was necessary.
We also found out the baby's gender.
It's a GIRL!!!!
Her name is Anneliese
We're so happy. It'll be an entirely new experience for us after four boys. Please continue to pray for the pregnancy; our due date is March 20.
Also please forgive us for not calling everyone personally. Too many people to call and sore throats make it difficult.
