We got our Harmony test results back and all is well with Baby Oleo, no genetic abnormalities.
Woo Hoo, what a relief. You gotta love 24 year old eggs!! Thank you anonymous 24 year old egg donor!
We also found out that Baby Oleo is a....... GIRL!
That's right, a girl. I was absolutely 100% positive she was a boy so that shows you how much I know. The Hubby has resigned himself to a house full of women.
I told Frostina she was going to have a baby sister and she replied by laughing and running away from me. She really has no idea what's going on and what's to come.
So now I figure we can't call her Baby Oleo here since Oleo sounds like a boys name. So I guess we'll go with Baby Olea. I considered Olina but it sounds too much like Olean which is that stuff in fat free food that makes you poop if you eat too much of it. So that's out.
Now we have to figure out what to call her in real life. I can't find our baby name book so I guess I'll have to get another one. Wow, we're picking names for another baby. There were so many days when I never thought we would be here again.
Come on Baby Olea, please be born alive and healthy.
Dealing with the loss of a child is never easy, but it's even more difficult when you are an expat living far from home. Life will never be "normal" again and so now the challenge is to find my new normal. I am now back in the USA and the proud parent of two daughters, born using two different egg donors. "Frostina" and "Olea" are the loves of my life and I feel so grateful for the amazing women who donated their eggs and made my family possible.
How exciting! Another beautiful daughter on the way!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another girl!
ReplyDeleteHA! Frostina's reaction was the same as when I told Gracie her little sister is on the way. She now looks at me with severe concern at the size of my belly. ha! :)
ReplyDeleteI meant to say, Congrats! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I know you'll pick the perfect name for your little beauty. (And you can buy her big sister Bruce Coville's Snoring Beauty if you want some hilarious ideas of what NOT to name your princess.)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI've had 3 kids, and was wrong each time about the gender.(First time I told everyone, and was really definite bragging about my "maternal intuition". Second time I told most people, but was a little less braggy. Third time I kept a little quieter!)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
