I'm not sure how many people are still here. This week I found out my baby heart stopped between Monday when I went to the OB and Wednesday when I went for a fetal echo with the cardiologist at 20 weeks. He had not 1 but 2 rare chromosome abnormalities. A small deletion and duplication. There aren't any with the combination documented anywhere. So we didn't know what to expect other than the possibilities that come with either the deletion or duplication. We didn't know it would be lethal. He had a hole in his heart which we were told could be fixed. At 18 weeks we found out his growth has slowed down all the sudden and both hands were not forming correctly. We were preparing ourselves for life with a baby that would need extra help. The specialist I was seeing kept saying a loss was highly possible. Thinking back I think she knew it was more than likely ending soon. We chose to not terminate and leave it in God's hands. In a few hours I will be induced into labor. My now 11 year daughter and 10 year old son are crushed. My husband of only 9 months doesn't have any children of his own. This was his first.
