Its a girl



We got some great news this morning - ITS A GIRL!!!!  we are so thrilled and excited and i'm having visions of pink ruffly things all over my house (at least until she becomes a tom-boy).



 The ultrasound showed some abnormalities and we have been referred up to UCSF to get a Level 2 ultrasound and work with a fetal therapy team.  The ultrasound from this morning appears to show the stomach developing in the chest - which is called Diaphragmatic Hernia.

We should be in San Fran within the week to see the doctors and hopefully know a lot more then.  Any range of possibilities at this point - from a misread ultrasound to self-correction to emergency surgery (while pregnant or after delivery).  

We are overwhelmed and scared and just trying to focus on things one step at a time - right now that means the next appointment. 

Prayers are great.  Please feel free to call or email, just don't be offended if you don't get an update right away.

Love
Lisa, Luke and Dillan
