Mamas of Babies With Cystic Fibrosis

Destynie
I wanted to share our story in hopes of getting other mamas in a post together about Cystic Fibrosis, so we all know we aren't alone! :) 
So, at our 20 week anatomy ultrasound, the technician said she saw something a little off and wanted to check on it in four weeks. Me being me, I brushed it off thinking he was measuring too big or small. So, four weeks later we go back to my OB's office so they can take another look at him. My OB comes in after the ultrasound and tells me that they found what appear to be bright spots (ecogenic) on his bowel and that it could be either a marker for Cystic Fibrosis, a marker for Down Syndrome, or it could be nothing. My husband and I were both tested as carriers for CF, and we both received positive results. I also had my blood tested to rule out Down Syndrome, which we were able to do. Fast forward a few weeks, we were able to meet with a geneticist who told us that our son actually has more of a chance of having CF than not. She recommended an amniocentesis (which we had done that day) to confirm the diagnosis. So, today we are waiting on the results which should be here by the end of the week. In my heart, I know he has CF. But that doesn't change how much we love and can't wait to meet this little man! My whole life is going to be devoted to taking care of him (and of course his future siblings). I can't wait to be a mama to a perfectly special little boy 💙
