Update on baby

Melissa • 💙 Harrison Quinn 1/26/16 💙
I thought I'd post an update on our baby. We saw the perinatal specialist and cardiologist and after another ultrasound and echocardiogram they said our baby has a cystic kidney, a hole in the heart (VSD) and a hemivertebra along with a single umbilical artery. While these problems wouldn't be super serious on their own, combined they aren't great. They said it could be VACTERL (don't google if you don't want to be depressed). They said everything else looks ok so far but with VACTERL if you look it up there can be other serious problems that they might not see until the baby is here. I'm devastated and super worried. I'm not even excited to be pregnant anymore and am dreading delivery and getting more bad news. I just wish my baby was healthy. Don't ever take your healthy baby for granted. Please keep me and baby in your thoughts.
