Ultrasound with baby #3

Yesterday we had our first ultra sound with the specialist.... During the ultrasound the geneticist who has been working on Luas case called with some information and a shortly after that the specialist doctor came in and said they believe they know what Lua had. Limb girdle muscular dystrophy. Which is a recessive disorder which means both parents have to have the mutation to pass it onto the child. That keeps us at having a 25% chance this baby has the same condition. And during the ultrasound there were some concerns about the baby's movement. Movement in the arms and wrists wasn't seen. The baby did move his legs a little at the end... So now with this new information they would like me to have an amnio test done to see if this baby has the same condition, and also I have to go to Milwaukee for a follow up ultrasound next week to check on the movement of the baby. Stress galore! The thought of it happening again is unbelievable. There is a bunch of things that need to be done to confirm lua had this disease but if they are able to then that means if we want to have any more kids we will always have a 25% chance of it happening again. Next week we should start to hear a little more on everything. But it seems now ill have to continue going to Milwaukee and who knows if ill be able to deliver at our local hospital or if it will become a forced csection in Milwaukee where the baby will be taken right away to be checked on... Who knows... Super awesome stuff..............


But pictures always help...
