I was just sitting here thinking, "Now how can I help them have another baby if things don't work out?" Although, I'll be honest, every kid w/Down Syndrome I've ever seen has been awesome! So, either way it would have been okay...well, at least in my opinion!<BR/><BR/>I totally feel you on the no testing thing. Who cares what your kid is like...who couldn't love their own child, regardless of imperfections? Those little things are what make them so perfect! I think that's so cool that Ava had the little ear thing! I love those little things like that that you pass on. TJ has my fingers, and even though they're not the prettiest fingers in the world, it overjoys me that I will always know he got those from me! Again, I have NO idea what God's plan for you is, but it couldn't have been sheer coincidence that all three abnormalities came up at the same time with Ava. I just know he has a wonderful plan in mind for you guys, and the fact that you are so strong during all of this says that you are the perfect people to do such wonderful things!Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05369978641581682398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1117684365327303272005-06-01T23:52:00.000-04:002005-06-01T23:52:00.000-04:00Wow. I'm surprised you found out the genetic results so fast. I'm glad you got at least some answers. Do you think it's possible that you are looking for a reason to blame yourself so that if there is another pregnancy you can do something differently to prevent another tragedy? I'm probably way off base, but I thought I would throw that out there as a possibility.

You two are very strong people. To have gone through what the two of you have been through and to still be there for eachother stronger then even, Is amazing. <BR/><BR/>I feel the same way you do in not getting tested while pregnant with both my kids. To me it didn't matter the out come. I would still love them no matter what. <BR/><BR/>You are a strong women and thank you for sharing your results with us.

You both experienced the worst tragedy possible. I hope and pray everyday for you both that God will bless you next time with a healthy baby.I was going to also say a happy baby, but what baby would not be happy with you and Mark by her side.<BR/>Hugs and Kisses<BR/>XOXOXOxoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1117662412476849232005-06-01T17:46:00.000-04:002005-06-01T17:46:00.000-04:00My brother and his wife had a little girl named Eva Marie who was born with only half of her heart (and Down’s Syndrome). She only lived a few days, and I don’t believe my brother ever did recover from it.<BR/><BR/> It’s been almost 20 years now, but she will never be forgotten and the short moment we had her moved us all deeply. <BR/><BR/> I know you’ve heard the phrase “you are in my thoughts and prayers” a million times, but here it is again.methatiamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05774940594022381758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1117651513752112742005-06-01T14:45:00.000-04:002005-06-01T14:45:00.000-04:00I have been (mostly silently) following your life for awhile.<BR/><BR/>You are an incredibly inspiring woman, Karla.Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12948437349896481960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1117645353820774802005-06-01T13:02:00.000-04:002005-06-01T13:02:00.000-04:00I agree with your DR. you and Mark handled this trauma with such grace and love for eachother and AVA. <BR/><BR/>I am glad to hear that the genetic testing was fine. I agree with your feelings on not getting testing done I dont think I will either. <BR/><BR/>Thank You for sharing your results with us.TBGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04706763719847053772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1117642493860871282005-06-01T12:14:00.000-04:002005-06-01T12:14:00.000-04:00Oh,Karla; I can't believe how strong you and Mark are.
