Commings and Goings

Well the chickens have gone, seems they didn't last long here. We did enjoy the eggs a lot but there was just too much poo in the garden. We were able to give them away to fiends which was nice and got a lot of the initial money back thanks to eBay!

That's the goings now the coming. Kathy's Pregnant again, yippee. Due date is sometime in January, Kathy would know the exact date. We are of course over the moon but not surprisingly a little apprehensive. We have been put back under our previous antenatal consultant, a really lovely lady who was a blessing the first time and is already again now, and have completed several scans already to see if there are any 'abnormalities'.

Prior to Kathy getting pregnant again we had been genetically screened to assess he probability of another problem like Summers. The result is that yes there is a higher risk but its still less than 1% especially with the Folic acid extras Kathy's taken. (She particularly enjoyed the slight slimming side effects these gave not that she needed it!!)

So we have 1 scan left in 4 weeks and every things seems fine so far. The last scan was particularly good as we took Summer with us. It was great to see the consultant see her for the first time (except for Day 1). Summer was smiling and blowing kisses, doing all her tricks right on que!

As for Summer she is doing great. getting stronger and cleverer every day. so much more than we had hoped for. I was reading something a week ago about another family in a similar position. They summed it up very well. "We would never have chosen this path but knowing what we know now about God we would never change it"
