Pregnancy to parenting class

We signed up for an all day pregnancy to parenting class...in hopes that we would learn a few things that we didn't already know....we had heard from a lot of people that these classes were very boring so we weren't really looking forward to it. Maybe we are crazy, but we had a blast! We met some really funny people, our instructor was awesome, and we learned so many new things! Cody impressed me when it came time to change the baby dolls diaper and clothes...he did it with ease...he was a natural....haha! We really enjoyed getting to tour where we will be delivering! It is a new facility and so super nice! We even were lucky enough to see a new born baby boy while we were there. The breathing exercises were pretty comical! We all had to place a clip on our ear to create pain and leave it for 60 seconds...our coaches/husbands had to practice helping us get through the pain. The best part of the day was at the end when all the coaches/husbands had to massage the women! It is all becoming so real and we are so excited to say the least! We have taken our notes and mentally prepared ourselves for the big day... now we are just waiting for Livia to make her way into our world!

At 11 weeks our OB at the time noticed a thickened nuchal fold and suggested we do a genetic blood test. Honestly, we didn’t believe anything would be detected with our baby, we were just looking forward to finding out the gender so early. The results came back, and the screening detected a 76% predictive value for Trisomy 21. Definitely not something we ever expected. And the way it was presented to Cody and me made us leave the appointment scared, confused, and in denial of the results we had just been given. We cried, we were mad, we prayed and processed and prayed some more. We shared the results with our closest family and friends and just like us, they prayed over our baby daily. After t...
