Lucky 21 - And the FISH


We doubled down on 21 and won. Check out the Celebration.



Paco passed the FISH test. He is beating one animal after another. Easily.

The FISH Basketball Court. Paco is off camera.


A baby without Down syndrome will have two fluorescent signals corresponding to their two number 21 chromosomes. A person with trisomy 21 will have three fluorescent signals corresponding to their three number 21 chromosomes.

Paco has two number 21 chromosomes! Win number one.

And then came the FISH testing.

A typical FISH analysis will tell you how many 13, 18, 21, X and Y chromosomes. These are the chromosomes that can result in trisomies for humans.

Paco only has two of each - so he is a winner across the board. He swept the competition.

Christy has claimed that his prize will be a Gold Fish.

She says "You beat the Fish - You get a Fish."

Does this mean we're back to a carefree, easy pregnancy or are we still wracked with worry?

We still have another week to wait for the full report, but we are looking VERY good for now.

I am busy emailing clinic's getting information for our next transfer. We realize that our eggs are degrading fast.

I am worried more about our biological clock right now than I am about Paco. Paco clearly knows how to take care of himself.

I See Pregnant Women....And Small Children

Since we are talking about other blogs that inspire a post I will point to Xbox4NappyRash: The seventh sense in which he talks about developing a 7th sense - the ability to see infertile people. I got it a little different - I See Pregnant Women....And Small Children. When I was a small child I would go to the beach and see other small children. Others like me to play with in the sand. Then as I got a little bit older I became interested in the basketball court near the beach and was aware of the other basketball players that where on the court. As a got still older, I became aware of the girls in the bikini's at the beach. All of a sudden they were everywhere - and they were the only ones on the beach. Recently, when I go to the beach I see Pregnant Women....And Small Children all over the place. I constantly have to work hard not to step on them as they play in the surf. These young families are new to the beach. They have never been there before now - yet now they are all of the...

Mr. Inspiring

Check it out! Someone thinks that I am inspiring. Really! go to Our Surrogacy Adventure and read how I inspired her post, but notice that I didn't inspire her enough to be added to her blogroll. This is what I am talking about when I say that we meet new friends on our adventure. This would be a prime example. Take note, if you women that are reading my blog want me to post more that is how you get it done - stroke my ego. Men really are that simple. Now here is my response to the heart of her post - why do I blog? This is the point when almost everyone says "so that friends and family can follow our journey". That's not me. I want my family to be able to enjoy the excitement of our new addition and don't want to take them on the rollercoaster ride with us. They are really supportive, but we have to go through enough already without taking our entourage with us every step of the way. We just want to give them the happy days. So then, who is the audience that I wa...

Lost and Found and Connections Abound

I just got listed as a new blog by Mel at Lost and Found and Connections Abound. For those of you coming to my site for the first time here is a quick summary. I am an Intended father writing about surrogacy from the straight males perspective.  It seems weird to need to add the word straight when describing myself, but all the male blogs that I can find on Surrogacy seem to be from a gay males perspective.  Christy and I have been working on the baby project for around 2 years with many highs and lows. We are currently building our team for a new run. This time around we expect to have two surrogates at the same time which will help make it an exciting ride for everyone. This is the background for our story. Please read some of my posts and feel free to ask me some questions.
