Malia I have been praying for you all week. At my 20 week ultrasound they found a complication. I am informed by phone at 22 weeks 2 days before I had to go on a statewide teaching tour there was a complication. I was being sent to high risk pregnancy center. Malia you have a two vessel umbilical cord instead of three. I ask my Navy mid wife what this means? She says she does not know look it up on the internet. So I do at that moment my world came crashing in. A two vessel umbilical cord means you only have one artery in the umbilical cord instead of two. Possible birth defects spontaneous late term miscarriage, still birth, no bladder, no kidneys or only one, cleft lip, spinal bifida, downs syndrome, heart complications, and many other anomalies.
I have never been so scared in my whole life. I called every doctor to try to get in before my tour. I could not cancel so I just wanted to be seen first. I hit one closed door after another. I even spent half my day in the woman’s clinic hoping they would do another ultrasound and they would not. I had to leave town not knowing if you were ok. I guess I went into fight or flight mode. I just went through the motions of the day and went back to my room and cried. I have dreamed of my little girl for so long now. The thought of loosing you broke my heart. I have never been very religious, but I found that through this experience I asked Jesus to take the wheel more than once. While on my trip I set my appointment for when I got back. I was gone a total of two weeks without knowing your fait. I think those were the longest two weeks of my life.
I am happy to tell you my little angel you are perfectly healthy. My new doctor said you had a perfect weight, heart, kidneys, and bladder, show no signs of downs or any other anomalies. I have never cried so many happy tears of joy in my life. I could now embrace my pregnancy. I went shopping and bought you a cute little outfit. I also bought some new trendy maternity clothes. I am a proud mommy to be and you are my gift from GOD.
I Love You
