We were informed when he was 17 weeks of gestation if we wanted to terminate. They had offered us that chance two times before then due to weird testing and lab results. We said hell no everytime. Intersex never scared us. Mosiacism esp intersex genetic mosiacism, is not scary, what to us was scary is how some pending parents chose to deal with it. We're very pro-choice but his chromosomes being mixed was no reason for us to terminate him, it was not a reason for us to make that choice for ourselves. Zwerg's a most wanted child and was always going to have a family gender nuetral name from the moment we found out we were pregnant.
We were warned he has a higher than normal risk of testicular cancer. None so far and no hypospadia at birth. We watch him carefully and get him checked frequently by his pediatrician. His pee-pee looks normal and seems to function. He may be sterile as well and that's fine with us, he and his partner of whatever gender can always adopt if they want kids. He will be fully evaluated by the geneticist again when he's 7 and then again at puberty he goes back to geneticist.
Lindsay IS normal, to us and we love him even when he does dress in drag and demands Princesses as well as toolboxes:)
I'm 4'10" and dad is 6'2", he will likely be average height. My own father was only 5'2" tho so his diminutive stature may not be a problem as he has a high likelyhood of it being wholly genetic and no one in my family is over 5'8" (unlike hsi dad's side which averages 5'8"(for female) to 6'7" (for males).
