When the results from my 18 week blood work came back, there was a problem.
There was a chance that our baby could have Spina Bifida. They did the blood work again, with the same results. The doctor then told us we had two options. We could have amniocentesis, or a Level 2 ultrasound. After discussing the complications that come with having amniocentesis, we opted for the Level 2 ultrasound. The doctor then told us that according to the results, we would have to decide what we wanted to do as far as continuing the pregnancy. When I informed him that I could NOT terminate, he said I might as well stop right there; do not continue to find further results. How could I do that!?! I still had over half my pregnancy to go. I could not carry that burden in the back of my mind for that long!
We were sent to Columbus then for the Level 2 ultrasound.
They measured every bone in her little body.
They said she was perfect, but the thought was always there...
Eighteen weeks later, we had her in our arms, and she was perfect!!!
Today, she is beautiful, smart, funny, and thoughtful.
In our eyes, she is perfect!
