Our girls, living with Propionic Acidemia

I wrote some articles about Jenna and Lauren that you can read. Jenna (at age 6) and Lauren (at age 4), Fall 2005 (page 10) and October 2002 (page 2 & 3).
When I had my 20 week ultrasound in November, we were told that we were going to have a baby boy. We were thrilled since we knew the baby was also unaffected by Propionic Acidemia, which our 2 girls have. Our joy was short-lived because we received a call from our geneticist that the ultrasound markers showed some anomalies. This second ultrasound (left) ruled out the suspicion that the baby had any such markers. A sigh of relief, to say the least.
