No clouds in the sky

It's a beautiful Tuesday, and more importantly the hubby is home with me as it is his day off. I am so excited to get to spend time with him. I love him being around, he has such a spirit for life that it's infectious... I didn't have my daily morning cry yet this morning. I think it's cathartic to get all of my sorrow out early on. I received several emails this morning and was very pleased to have gotten them. It makes me feel that Penn is carrying on. He has inspired people to pursue new ideas that will improve healthcare, and I am so very please by it.

Brad and I are not going to actively share this, but we got our results back from our genetic testing and both of us carry a mutation on the MTHFR. They're opposite mutations, but we each have one which increases our risk of giving life to a child with a congenital heart defect absent even of Down Syndrome. We will be getting fetal echo done when I am 18 weeks. I am only 7 weeks 2 days right now, so it's a ways away. I will be on November 27 at 1pm in Austin getting tested for the nuchal translucency screen.

I spoke with my doctor about the supplementation of the progesterone and because I am showing no signs right now of potential miscarriage, he is not going to supplement me. If he did, he would try to get me to 20-25 level. I was 12 with Penn. So, we'll see what the tests reveal.
