So it took a little while, but we finally have some answers. It turns out that my little girl had Osteogenesis Imperfecta II. Which is a fancy way of saying that she had Brittle Bone Disease Type II. It happens once in every 100,000 births, and it looks like it was just an unlucky fluke for us. It is always fatal, which is a little reassuring since we know now that there wasn't anything that we could do. People say that, but you always second-guess. We don't know if that puts us at any higher risk for a baby with one of the other three types of the disease. That will be determined after we meet with a geneticist. I don't know if C and I will have to go through any genetic testing, or if the doctor will just know the answer. And in case I didn't say it before, she was beautiful and perfect.
