Family Turmoil Continues
So I get a call from my mom Thursday afternoon. She tells me quickly that she needs a favor and that I needed to find out flights for about 5 combinations of days and that I needed to get her a cheap hotel. She told me Jenny was not doing well and that she needed to go out and purge Jenny's apartment of anything related to pregnancy and baby while Jenny and Jeff were out terminating the pregnancy. Oh, and by the way Jenny did not want me there as I might judge her. I got a little poed at both of them and informed her that was OK as I did not wish to be there while Jenny got her abortion. Mom told me that she could take care of her travel arrangement herself and hung up.
And then I find out from my other sister that Jenny had problems with her CVS and ended up getting an amnio also. She should have the results on Monday. I have yet to talk to Jenny about anything. I might "judge" her. I tried to talk to Lisa about what happened with mom but she blew me off. Lisa, the peacemaker, was refusing to get involved as always.
I did get to talk to my aunt Connie about all that is happening. It helped to talk to someone that did not judge me. If you want to judge me, my thoughts are that she should leave things to God and let things happen. If the baby dies in utero or at birth, then she will be prepared for that. If there is a miracle, then she will have the baby that we have all been looking forward to having as a part of our family.
So I guess things will be happening next week. Thank you to everyone that has left their supportive comments.

Coming into this late....I'm so sorry. My prayers for each one of you involved.
You know, as i'm thinking about this... it might help Jennie and hubby to "purge" everything about this pregnancy themselves. It's all a mourning process. It's not going to do them any good to come home to an empty house and pretend that this pregnancy never happened. Course, maybe that's their way of dealing with the guilt of killing a baby that *could* very well be perfect in every way. sigh... i'm still praying...
I am *so* sorry about what you and your family is going through right now ~ especially Jenny and her husband. I thought that genetic testing was only done after age 35 ... 30 still seems young to me? (I was 31 when I had Meredith.) Please keep us updated. I will say prayers. Sorry that I haven't been by your blog in a while ... I'm behind. :(
You hear too many stories about people who have that testing and are told that there is something wrong with their babies, only for them to carry them to term and find out that there is nothing wrong and the baby is perfect and you wonder what if you had listened to the doctors, what would you be missing. I am so sorry that your family is going through this, and my heart is with you all. Hang in there Amy. We may not always do the right things in life, but it is good to have family to lean on regardless. I am here for you if you want to talk. I do so understand! Hugs!!
Amy, I am coming to this WAY late...I totally run out of time to check all of my blogroll lately. I am SO, SO sorry that your family is going through all of this. Not only the upset of the baby's diagnosis, but the turmoil it has caused between everyone in the family. I'm assuming by now that some kind of decision has been reached, so I am praying that it was one that everyone can live with, deal with, and hopefully move on. I'm anxious to hear what has happened, and I will continue to pray for you all. Many hugs...
