The news is so overwhelming!

This morning I woke up more scared than I have ever been in my entire life. Scared doesn't even begin to describe it. I laid in bed for at least an hour before my alarm went off. I couldn't sleep. I was up so much last night. I let the alarm go off a few times before I finally got up and got ready. I was so anxious, nervous...all sorts of scary feelings. I would randomly start shaking from the fear. Uncontrollably shaking. The moment we got in the car I started to cry. I tried my best not to cry but it didn't work. We set there in silence basically the entire car ride. Both of us were so nervous. We got there, checked in and waited a little bit before they called us back. As I laid on the table waiting for the ultrasound tech to come in I started to cry. I couldn't stop. I started shaking. It was a mess. I was a mess.

Our tech was so kind and warm. He was much better than the first tech we had when we received the news. He put the wand on my stomach and I could second baby. I thought I would know for sure if something was wrong, but I couldn't tell. He started taking measurements and he said that the Septated Cystic Hygroma had completely resolved. Now I know that some resolve and that baby still has issues but hearing that was great news. Our chances of a healthy baby have increased. After each measurement he would tell us the results and tell us what he was going. Everything came back normal. Baby measured within all the normal ranges. All the organs looked great. There were two hands, 10 fingers, 2 feet, 10 toes, the brain looked great and there was a nasal bone. It was all there and it all looked great. We got a clear photo of the sex too!

It's a boy!!!!!

A beautiful baby boy!


After talking with the doctor and going over all the results we all felt good about skipping the amnio. There is an opening for next week for an amnio and we scheduled it just in case the blood test results come back bad. I was feeling good though. Everything looked so good!!

The rest of the day seemed to take forever! Finally at 4pm Kate called. The blood test came back with the best results possible and also confirmed what the ultrasound said, it's a boy!! I cried so much. This time it was all good tears. I know we aren't out of the woods quite yet. We still have to do our level 2 ultrasound that will give us a better look at all the organs. We will know then. We do know what baby doesn't have Downs or any other kind of gene issue. I am so thrilled with the news we got today though. I will be holding onto that hope for as long as possible. Everything will be okay. Baby is a fighter!!!
