I wanted to quickly update you on our combined test results from our NT scan. I know that you were on the edge of your seats…
Downs: 1 in 5,000
Trisomy 18: 1 in 10,000
We couldn’t be happier with these results. The good news keeps rolling in!
In a previous post, I blogged about how I’m “all in” with this baby and the first of such events are happening this weekend.
My parents are hosting an engagement party for my brother and his finance on Saturday. This is the first of many major life events this year, and I am so excited. Shelby’s belly is slowly growing (not to mention BOOOOBS!!!), and she’s beginning to actually look pregnant! It’s stunning.
We’ve been officially out of the closet this week, and it’s going to be awesome not having to explain why Shelby isn’t drinking. For the first time in our lives, we’ll be at a party where I can say:
“Why yes, we are pregnant, and couldn’t be happier!”
If this is a dream, I never want to wake up.
After 5 years, we still walk the path of infertility. 7 IUI's, 1 miscarriage, 1 IVF and tens of thousands of dollars later we find ourselves pregnant. The path is still not clear, but we take it one step at a time.

Very good news about the baby Rockstar. Glad you guys can stop making random excuses for not drinking or eating the soft cheese!

That’s very exciting! My wife is at 16 weeks and just had the test done last week, so we are waiting for the results.
I’ve been looking for other dad-type blogs when I found yours. (I’m a soon-to-be first time dad as well)
Congrats on the pregnancy!
