This afternoon, I got a call from my nurse. Dan's test results had finally come back. He is NOT a carrier of cystic fibrosis, which means that our child has no chance of getting it. Had he been a carrier (like I am) our baby would have had a 25 percent chance of being diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Now, it's not something we even have to worry about. I'm relieved, happy and so excited.
A few minutes after getting the great news, I got some more (on a smaller level). My work did a United Way fundraiser. We could buy chances at two days off or one day off. I spent $7 and put in $6 chances in the two-days off bucket and two in the other one. Well, I won. I get two extra days off to use in the next six months, which of course means I can take a few more days of maternity leave.
Baby Richardt is due in early March. Follow the pregnancy from start to finish.
