Good News!

Today Shelly and I got a very welcomed letter in the mail from our Doctor's office. As we referred to in our post last week, we had some common tests taken to determine if our soon-to-be bundle of joy was subject to a few specific birth defects. Those tests included a screen for Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida and Trisomy 18. Well, we are thrilled to announce everything came back negative! It was definitely a wonderful way to start the day.

Other than that, Shelly and I have started to narrow down a theme for our nursery, including paint colors, a crib and other furniture. With how fast Thanksgiving has come and gone and with Christmas right around the corner, its amazing to think how close May 8th is getting. Speaking of which, I guess that means our little one is due exactly 5 months from today! Score!

Congrats on the good news! Shel, you look awesome - I think you should start the Snickers & Ice Cream diet now so you can enjoy yourself after the weeks/months of nausea. Love you!

We're thrilled with this great news! Keep that baby bump growing! Deb

Hey Shel, while the baby has had little effect on your bump, I think the baby has a greater effect on me, my stomach has grown by at least 3 inches since the announcement of your
pregnancy. BUMMER! Joe
