This whole pregnancy process is a bit new to me. It's a bit strange, for when you step back and take a look at it, you're basically stepping into a completely new phase without much control. You can't control when the baby cries, when the baby sleeps, when it decides that it's going to scream for an hour straight. (I know, there are things you can do...but at the end of the day, you only have so much control) You can't exactly put in requests for a certain type of baby--you just get whatever pops out, and you deal with it.
They do all sorts of screenings for all sorts of diseases, and while these tests, from what little I know, aren't 100% accurate, they do produce all sorts of anxiety and stress while you're waiting for them to come back. Unfortunately, you can't request that a baby not have some sort of disorder or disease...you just have to hope. And wait.
All of our screenings came back normal. <Whew> I can't tell you how relieved I was to hear that message on the answering machine. All is well, for now. Thanks be to God.
