Everything's Peachy

We made a very difficult decision and decided not to do the amniocentesis. No matter what the result, we were not going to terminate the pregnancy anyway, so there was no use in taking the risk and hurting Baby Koehl. Instead, we took a blood test called the Triple Screen Test. It tests for the levels of three substances in the blood that can help doctors identify a fetus at risk for certain birth defects such as neural tube defects like spina bifida or chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome. We got the results and everything is NORMAL! Woo hoo! YEEHAA! We are looking up and looking forward to our super-duper ultrasound in two weeks where we will find out if it's a boy or a girl. Any bets?!?!
