We Brunsons' Are A Special Bunch

Everyone is special, but the Brunson family appears extra special these days. Want to know why?

1) Every year only 1000 babies in the US are born with HLHS. For 2008 Ivy was one of them. Bummer.

2) Of those 1000 babies only a small percentage are born with other birth defects. Ivy is one of those babies too. Double bummer.

3)In pregnant women there is only a 1 percent chance that they will develop ICP (see previous post). Today I found out that I am part of that 1 percent. Triple bummer (at least poor Ivy isn't involved in this one!)

Isn't being special grand?!

My induction is now planned for thursday the 19th. Sorry to all those who guessed days after that for the birth, but for all of you who guessed before there is still a chance the baby could come on its own earlier. Do you know who guessed the 19th? Nobody!! I guess no one anticipated this change in events eh!!
