Well, that was unexpected.
Laura is pregnant again.
Yes, this really was unexpected. More than a surprise, really.
Something more akin to…. well, maybe not shock, but definitely close enough to it.
The baby is due in the middle of August, which, because all of the other kids have come out late, means this baby should come towards the end of August.
There are new tests now, blood work taken from the mother and completely non-invasive to the fetus that can tell if there are chances of a whole host of problems. It used to be a sampling of the amniotic fluid was taken to figure out this stuff, but now the blood draw is… well, I don’t know exactly, but suffice to say there is a lot more to be learned from a simple blood draw.
Bottom line is everything looks good. While there are risks, as there are with any pregnancy, they are minimal according to the blood work. Laura is 44 years old now, which comes with a different set of complications, so having the blood work come out as good as it has is a big relief.
So yeah…. pregnant.
Surprise!
