My (wonderful) doctor called me tonight and gave us some news we've been edgy about receiving and anxious to know... the genetic testing on our baby came back. She was a girl. She had Trisomy 13. We are reassured by this news, because it means probably my other three losses (and Henry's scary start) were caused by my low progesterone, which can be fixed. We're no more likely to lose another baby than we were before, because this is not something that is more likely to happen again. We are blessed with the knowledge that our baby was a girl (which also means Daddy has a 100% accuracy track record on guessing baby's sex from the first ultrasound!) And it is healing for us to give her a name.
Her name is Violet Emmaline. We can't wait to meet her some day, and call her by her name.
