Hi ladies (and the SO's here, too)
So I definitely am still here but I'm always on mobile and I hate commenting on mobile, so I'm more of a lurker who posts occasionally.
Crazy ass week resulting in an emergency trip to L&D with contractions coming every 2-3 minutes. Most terrifying time of my life but luckily my cervix was closed and they subsided. No clue what caused them.
We had our A/S that I was terrified of because although we know our baby boy has T18, we didn't know how it had affected him. If we didn't know about the diagnosis, this would be a horrible visit... but we took this one as a success.
The originally deformed arms seem to just be a deformed wrist that is bent inward toward the forearm. Heart abnormality turned out to be one ventricle is wider than the other so one side is working overtime. I was too distracted to get the medical name so I haven't between able to Dr. Google as usual. Lastly, two choroid plexus cysts on the brain. Those are extremely common with T18 babies (and even some healthy babies) and typically resolve themselves by late pregnancy.
The amazing sonographer gave us 3d pictures of our perfect baby and I was blown away that he looked like a baby. He looks completely perfect. His tiny chin is another common thing with T18 babies, but I think it just adds to his cuteness
For those of you reading and commenting
on the blog... thank you. It means so much. If you're comfortable enough leaving your sn, that would be helpful for me to put a name to the... name? If not, doesn't matter... I am just happy to be able to share our story and hopefully inspire/help others. Hopefully one day on a larger scale than a blog!
