We have decided to forgo any extra testing to screen for any early birth defects since neither of us have any family history of any problems. We would not even consider any other options other than to deliver the baby no matter what they found so we did not see the point in taking on any extra anxiety about the baby. Just like finding out the gender, we will love what God gives us, no matter the package. That said we are of course praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby!
Danielle has been keeping track of her blood sugar as per doctors orders due to her history of "borderline diabetes". Unfortunately it has been a little high so she has been prescribed Glyburide to combat that. The doctor will be monitoring her progress weekly to follow the results.
The nursery is also on our mind and we have decided to transform the office, or the "DBacks room", into our baby's bedroom. I will need to find a place to showcase my collection, and it will take some rearranging and some painting, but I'm looking forward to making our little one's room the best room in the house. If I know Danielle it will definately involve Tweety and the color yellow! I'm sure I can find a Tweety baseball stencil somewhere....or maybe just a yellow D-Backs logo....

We didn't do all the screening with our two either - same reason as you. It's everyone's personal decision whether to do it or not, but I felt like this baby was ours no matter what, so why do it. Too many false positive tests that I've heard of too.
