A whole lot of somethings

Ahhh- It's been a busy week.

Where do we start? Hmmm? OK, here it goes. My OB called with our genetic results and our little bub had 46 normal XX chromosomes. She would have been baby girl number 3. Duane's hope for a blue bundle is fading with all this estrogen floating around here.

It's really good news. However, there wasn't enough tissue left to test for CHARGE Syndrome. Zoey had this. It's rare(1 in 10,000 births) and recurrence is even rarer(1% on average). So I feel confident about trying this again.

We're waiting to get more healthy(lose about 20 pounds for me, cut caffeine, heal from the D&C procedure) and then we're going to be on our knees praying to God that he blesses us with another healthy pregnancy and baby. I don't think our hearts can endure anymore heartache.


Kenzie spiked a fever early Thursday morning(of about 103 degrees at first) and it got higher by Friday(104.9 at one point, rectally). We took her to her doctor on Friday and she sent us home with little suggestions since her ears looked perfect and she had no real symptoms. She did give us her personal cell phone number, though.

Her fever broke yesterday. Finally. And soon after she broke out in a rash all over her trunk and a bit on her face. I called the doctor and was told that she is relieved to tell me that McKenzie had Roseola. She's no longer contagious and her rash should fade over the next few days. Fun.

Kenzie has been pretty cute through her illness. Each time we ask her "Where's so and so's belly?"- she MUST rip so and so's shirt up enough to expose the belly button to point to it. Simply adorable and a tad inapppropriate.

She's also doing quite well with a spoon, fork, spork. We'll end with a video-
