Just a little thread to keep the people interested informed about the SON baby. :-) I'm 13 weeks along and due on April 8th. I had the new genetic testing (MaterniT21) done because I'm over 35. It's just a simple blood draw, that's less invasive than an amnio. Luckily, is well on that front.

You can also find out the gender of the baby with this new test. I'm having a boy. I'm a little nervous about that, since I guess being a woman I just feel like I have more of a sense of how to parent a girl, but I guess I'll figure it out.

Thanks to the people who've asked about how I'm feeling and who have wished us well. I really appreciate it. I'm feeling pretty good now that I'm out of the first trimester. Still a little tired, but I was lucky and didn't have terrible morning sickness. Mostly what I'm hoping for is things to stay uneventful for the next six months.

If anyone has name ideas, I'm open to suggestions. Right now, Elijah is in the running.

Crying. Seriously. Congrats!!

Wow, so much drama! I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that, but like you and Rachel Davis said, all's that ends well!

Did we ever determine a name for the whipper snapper?

Wow, that was a lot more suspense and drama than anything on daytime TV (that should only happen on TV and in the movies)! I'm glad that you and the baby are alright. Congratulations! May the rest be drama-free from now on.

After all that, I can't believe that you still took the time out to check in here with us. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that. Kudos for letting a student in with you for as long as you did. That's going to help another mother and baby down the line.

OMG, that WAS bringing the drama a little too close, wasn't it? But thank God you and the baby are doing okay now!

Congrats, Julia, and keep us updated as best as you can! Oh, and watch out for Heather and Nina!

Wow, congrats Julia! You are such a strong person.

Hey, the baby sure did make a soapy entrance!

Thanks everyone! I will write more detailed responses soon, but I just wanted to thank everyone for the support. I emailed Toups a picture, so he can post it in here. I couldn't figure out how to do it. I'm probably just over tired, but other than that, all is well.

Wow that's dramatic. I'm glad for a happy ending...and relieved.

Here's the baby! Thanks for sharing with us, Julia.

Too cute!

Beautiful!!!

Good head of hair on this guy

Can we de-SORAS GH's Spencer so we can cast the SON Baby? He's way more charismatic and besides, he could use the money for his college fund?
