Oh, the past few days have been a whirl wind of emotions. On the day we found out we were having a girl they also discovered an abnormality on her neck that they wanted us to have checked by a specialist. They prepared us for the worse and though her body is perfect and has been checked over by many professionals she for the most part is looking pretty perfect. What they found is some fluid on the back of her neck called a 'Systic Hygroma'. most likely she will be perfectly fine. It still makes me worry like crazy. I have never felt these emotions before, I feel so helpless. If there is a bigger problem there is nothing they or I can do. We are having her heart looked at at Primary Children's to make sure that everything is perfect and nothing has been affected by the 'Systic Hygroma' (I know that word scares me too). We are hopeful that she will be okay, I am also receiving an 'Amniocentisis' to rule out or confirm any type of syndrome she may or may not have. I really think everything will be fine, but I still worry so much about her and have never felt more love for her. As she and I go through these tests together I know it will only bring me closer to her and more peace of mind. Thanks for everyones support and concern we appreciate it and will keep you updated.

I hope everything is okay! It's so great to live in a time when we have all this technology to know all that we can about our unborn babies, but I think it also causes a lot of extra worry, too! I hope that you can be comforted and stay close to the Lord. It will all be okay! xx
I love your post title...It is true that a Mother's love cannot be compared to anything else. You keep going. For her and you! She will be perfect. Stay calm, stay healthy, stay faithful. You know she is comforting you in ways you cannot even fathom!
You guys are in our prayers!
I'll be thinking of you. Sorry, these things are so hard "the un-knowns". But you are right about going through it will bring you closer. Best of wishes to you.
Love,
Anne
I'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Keep us posted. Sometime the unknown or the "could be's" are the worst part. Don't forget to take care of yourself and you'll make it through.
Hey my best friend just went through this exact thing they told her that her little boy was likly to have downsyndrome. She opted out of the amniocentesis because of the complications it can cause but I just want to tell you that she had her baby last week and he is perfect. The fluid drained on it's own and he is perfect. Call me I would love to share her story with you.

I'll be praying for you and your little girl. Love you.
Sarah, I hope everything is okay! We are expecting a little boy in a couple of months and it was a "surprise" pregnancy! I was taking medication that "you're not suppose to get pregnant on" to control my RA when she was conceived and we went through a whirlwind of emotions. I had to take special drinks 3 times a day for 2 weeks to try to rid my body of it so that "hopefully" our little one would be okay. It was a scary time and although we've had our ultrasound and everything "looks good", there is always that chance. My prayers are with you and I know things always end up as they should. Hang in there!
You are in our thoughts and prayers!
