Waiting is the Hardest Part

Yesterday we went in for our anatomy scan and at the time I thought everything went great. Our tech was super friendly and talkative, she showed us our baby at the end and sent us home with 2 profile photos.

3 hours later I got a call from my doctor asking if the tech had went over anything with us and if I had a minute to talk. She explained that they found 3 abnormalities with baby, 1) potential club feet 2) light spots on baby’s brain and 3) light spots on baby’s heart. She said that by themselves these things are not generally a concern but since there are 3 of them they are soft markers for a genetic condition and would like me to follow up with a specialist.

That was a lot of information to take in over the phone. My stomach dropped and I couldn’t even get the words out to my husband who was sitting beside me wondering what the hell I had just heard. I’ve been a mess for the past day and I’m trying to keep my mind busy until I get that phone call and get my appointment. It’s all scary and unknown. The only thing that I do know is that no matter how this plays out we will love this baby unconditionally 🖤

We are keeping this quiet from friends and family until we know for certain what is going on. But I just needed some place to let it out. Thanks for reading this 🖤
