20 week Ultra Sound - Initial Diagnosis (5.27.09)

We had our 20 week ultra sound yesterday and unfortunately, even after going in with very positive thoughts we received the news that our baby has a major heart defect along with an electrical problem of the heart. As you can imagine we are so completely devastated. We met with our cardiologist after the appointment and because we were in such shock we didn't full comprehend all of the results so we are meeting with her again tomorrow to better understand what is wrong.  From what we do understand, the likelihood of our baby making it to birth is very unlikely.

I think the initial "shock" of the news is finally going away. Dan and I have both found that sharing the news with our families and now our friends has helped us to continue to move forward. We also decided to find out what we are having.....we are having a girl !!
