I get to take him home πππ ***possible trigger***

Hello all August mommas! Today was the day we have been waiting for. We had our fetal echo done. 6 months ago, we lost our daughter to HLHS. For those of you who arenβt familiar, its a devastating heart condition where part of the heart chambers do not develop correctly. We had to hold our little girl in our arms as she passed away at 4 days old. We took home an empty car seat, why? Because we had NO idea our little girl was sick. It was missed at every ultrasound, and even when red flags came up, they were ignored. We found out something was wrong 5 minutes before we were being discharged home. 5 minutes. Her dad left the room to get the car seat and she never got to use it. By the time he came up, things had gone bad. She never made it home.... she was taken via ambulance to a childrenβs hospital where we were given the devastating news. Literally the hardest thing I will ever go through in my life. It has been a hard road. She would have been 6 months last week. We are now expecting a little boy, and we had to wait until 18 weeks to know if he had the same thing as his sister. Getting to 18 weeks felt like forever. But today, the same cardiologist who sat across from us 6 months ago and discussed the worst news of our lives with us, gave us the best news. Our son is heart healthy. I have been crying all day, finally, tears of happiness. Now barring all other obstacles, this little baby will get to come home. πππ
