We received positive news today about our pregnancy. I was at breakfast at La Madeline enjoying the Sunday paper and coffee waiting for my French Continental breakfast when Dana called my cell phone. She said with enthusiasim "Dr. Berry is here"! I was looking forward to a quiet morning reading the paper and enjoying my breakfast but duty called so I downed my breakfast and then rushed back to the hospital.

As I was walking briskley back to the hospital I was feeling calm about things and knew we were going to have good news today. As I entered the room Dr. Berry was sitting comfortably in the chair enjoying the company of Dana and two nurses. I apologized for being late and asked how things went today with the visit. With some passion in his voice he began telling us that he did not have high expectations about our situation at first, however that he was very encouraged of what the results of his examination were with Dana. He said that we now have a few more options available to us since Dana's cervix is still closed and that Miller's size and fluid levels looked great. He said that only 10% of women who experience what we have so far get to this point that provides them additional options that can increase the chances for a successful pregnancy.

We thanked him for this encouraging news and said we would wait to make any decision as to how to proceed until we discussed everything with Dr. Uribe. Stay tuned...the best is yet to come!

Thank you again for everything...especially the prayers.
