This is me and Angela (Mike's sister). Today she is 19 weeks pregnant and I'm 27!On Monday, Mark (Angela's husband) sent out an email asking for everyones guesses on the sex of their baby. Their sonogram was yesterday (the 17th). We waited with anticipation for Mark to call or email letting us know boy or girl. The majority of us had voted girl :)
The call we received wasn't what we were expecting. Mark said the baby is a girl...but things didn't look right in the sonogram. The doctor told them that it looked like the bowels are the outside of her body, she has club feet, and her spine and heart look abnormal. These are all indications of Trisomy 13 (a chromosomal disorder). If this is what she has, the outlook isn't very hopeful. They have an appointment to meet with a specialist on Tuesday (the 23rd) at 1:15 pm. They'll do an amniocentesis and we're not sure what else.
Mark and Angela are both very strong in their faith. They know that God has a plan for this little girl...no matter if or how long she lives. They see her as God's gift to them and they are trusting for the future. Angela flys out tonight to be in Joelle's wedding. Please pray for her and Mark as they are apart this weekend...and as Angela will have to break the news to her friends.
Please help us cover Mark, Angela, and their precious little one in prayer!

We are definatly keeping them in our prayers.
We are praying, too. I can't imagine the fear they must be feeling.
