Had a doc appointment today & to my surprise I got to see my baby boy. The clinic I go to has started a new thing where you get a quick ultrasound every time. Where before unless you're high risk you only get 3 ultrasounds total but now you get to see em every time you don't get pics or anything but still pretty awesome :) his hb was 160 soo happy for a healthy baby boy :happydance: next time I have to drink the nasty sugary drink & also get a shot because i have negative blood type :(

Thats sooo amazing about getting to see him every time! I am so jealous tbh <3
 
Went to my first eye exam ever today . I am getting glasses in 7-10 days! The doctor told me he isnt sure if its the pregnancy changing my eyes but I opted for getting the glasses now since I wont get vision insurance after I deliver. So might as well get them now (for free) and not wear them if my vision changes after delivery. I dont think it will though because I felt my vision changing before I got preggers.


Work is getting extremely stressful and exhausting. I am just waiting for my hours to be cut and then it will be better, but first we have to hire someone who can cover for me.
 
Momwife- hope your asthma calms down. That must suck! :(

Jett- So exciting! I have a 3d ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday. It's elective and we're paying for it, but it's a great price and we're calling it my early birthday present :p

emicakess- I need glasses SO BAD! Lol. Sorry work is so stressful :hugs:

Hi all,
I know I haven't been very active for awhile but I've been super busy.
At our 20 weeks scan they asked us to come back so the cardiologist could look at bubs heart as it appeared the aorta was narrow. We had our follow up scan two days ago and was told that the leftside of bubs heart wasn't functioning properly. The aortic valve has some thickening and narrowing, the left ventricle is thickened and showing scar tissue and the mitrial valve is opening or closing properly allowing for blood regurgitation. The clinical name for our problems Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
On a scale of 1 to 10 of serious heart conditions we are a 10. Immediately after birth bubs will be transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit where she'll be stabilised for a few days before undergoing the first on at least 3 open heart surgeries. :cry:

I am so sorry you are going through this. I have a friend who's son has the same heart condition. It has not been an easy road for them, but he is a happy little one year old now. I still needs another surgery this year, but they will get through it.

Take care, and I know that there are many support groups online that can help you with any questions you may have.
 
Aussie - So sorry to hear your baby has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. I truly hope that all will go well with her surgeries once she is born and that she is able to live a relatively normal life. I hope you and your SO do not feel too discouraged as you begin this road ahead. :hugs:
