A quick update before Julie takes the laptop home!

(Julie)
Another update...

Today at 5:30pm we received GREAT NEWS!!!  The Doctor called and said the preliminary results were in from the amniocentesis. The doctor said Claire is considered a "normal female"!  Yippee :)  The doctor said this means we aren't seeing signs of some of the more common chromosomal disorders. (These were only the preliminary results and over the next week we will receive the full results of the chromosomal panel testing). 

Check out the picture of the beautiful rainbow we all saw yesterday following the very emotionally trying day. Amanda snapped this picture while driving on I-40! It reminded us all of God's promise to us! Claire and Rebecca are in the palm of His hands!


Kathy Mitchell and her sister visited today and brought us some yummy gummy bears! (We've already broke into those!) Rebecca's friend Leslie Geisler has been a great comfort! Chip Simmons also stopped by last night to visit us. THANKS to EVERYONE for all your love, support, & prayers!! AND texts!! :)
