No.....Lol I ain't having quadruplets! That would be a handful. I'm talking about the quad screening test which is blood work to check and see rather or not everythings fine with the baby.

Oh, thats wonderfull 4 would definately be a handful.
Talking about the genetic tests, my daughter in law chose not to have any genetic testing, just don't let them do the amniocentesis, bad bad test.
They usually don't unless older couple, down's syndrome in family or the other test comes out questionable.

Hey I got that quad screen test done last thursday and was told i'd probably know the results one week from then and it seems like it's taking forever. I just keep hoping and praying that they call me by tomorrow with good news....Letting me know that everything's fine.
