Oh, speaking of roll call... yesterday we got back genetic test results that showed what went wrong with the baby. She had something called "22q11.2 deletion" -- a chromosome copying error that is almost as common as down syndrome. I'm feeling relieved, because I'd been worried that I'd caused the baby's problems with celiac-related nutritional problems, but if it's a genetic copying error, then it's not my fault.

If you're bored or curious, here's more info:
