hey every one,
Hope you are all doing well. i went to my GP today and got all my
results back from the scan and bloods and every thing is fine, i have a
1 in 22,478 chance that this baby has downs syndrome so i think thats
pretty good odds.

I'm in a bit of a funny state of mind at the moment. Over the weekend i
was on cloud 9 knowing that every thing is alright with this bub so far
and now today i feel guilty as hell that i'm feeling happy. Here i am
still grieving the loss of 2 babies in the past 8 months and yet over
the moon that this pregnancy seems to be going so well. I don't know,
just a few mixed emotions i guess. Pregnancy hormones not helping
either.

Well, as the tital says i have found out some thing that i think is
rather interesting. Where i live we have alot of big refinaries. There
is one place called QAL. Apparently about 5years after they started up
(which was a while ago) they payed out 4 families that had given birth
to children with no sculls (anencephaly) and told the people to move
away and never speak of it again. Well, by the sounds of it some one
has spoken about it and its now going around where my husband works
(Boyne Smelta). The people that this happened to obviously blammed the
enviroment that they were working in ect and the company must have had
some reason to believe that this was the cause other wise they wouldn't
have payed them out. i want to try to find out more but i don't know
where to start looking. i will see if neil can find any thing else out
from work and then go from there. I just thought that it was strange
that some thing that is so rare happened to 4 families all working at
the same place and they all got a pay out because of it.

My kids are being feral so i had better go sort them out and i'll try
to get back on soon to reply to Lea's and Vanessa's posts. If i don't
get back on tonight please don't hold it against me, it just means that
i have passed out from exhaustion. take care every one, talk soon.

love liz xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
