We Need Your Prayers

The past few days have been a roller coaster of emotions for us. From elated to concern to scared.  

My ultrasound on Wednesday, showed some abnormalities in Carly's brain, but the Dr. didn't want us to be alarmed until we had another one yesterday in a different office with a better ultrasound machine. It showed the same, a slightly enlarged or swollen left ventrical & in addition it showed calcium on her heart. Seperately these two aren't major concerns but should be monitored, but together they should be examined more closely. We elected to do some testing, to get some more answers, which included an amniocentesis. I had it done yesterday as well. It takes up to 2 weeks for results.....it will feel like a LIFETIME!!!! This will tell us if there are any chromosome issues(it basically gives us a genetic make up of Carly) and they will also test the amniotic fluid for viruses and infections. The percentage is low that it could be something, but that percentage to Josh & I feels so much larger than it is. I am really starting to understand the love of a parent. We have prayed and will continue to pray for our little girl and ask that you please help us pray too! We want the very best for Carly and to be a happy, healty baby:)
