First, congrats on your little girl Mummy!!!
I'm sorry I've been MIA too! It's been so crazy with everything going on - holidays, school, work... just crazy!
Anyways, I am about 19wks today, I think. We finally announced on Sunday, my oldest son's birthday! My son was so super excited and the pictures were super cute.
In pregnancy news, I had my Quad screen drawn a few weeks ago and received the call that it was positive for risk Trisomy 18. Baby is 1:49 risk ratio for Trisomy 18. I am being referred to Maternal Fetal Medicine. They're getting me in on Thursday for an US and if warranted an amniocentesis. I am hoping they entered my dates in wrong or something. Dh's older brother died when he was 6mons old from a heart defect and very well could have been a T18 baby.
I am trying not to worry, I am aware that the Quad screen results have many false positives. I just can't believe this. How wanted this little man is, how we finally have found peace with our family and how crushed my son will be {whole family of course}. I just am the 'what if' person and 'prepare for the worst'.
Thanks for reading ��
