Christopher’s Journey.

We had our Ultrasound scan today, which was because they couldn’t identify stuff with the baby the last time as Bean was too small. They picked up a few abnormalities - the ultrasound revealed that Bean had a cleft lip (with possible cleft palate); the right kidney was multi-cystic and would never function; club feet and a heart deformity. Basically these problems are not a problem on there own as they are all able to be fixed, but when you have 3 or 4 of them together it tends to point towards something more sinister. We were advised to have an amniocentesis, as soon as practical. We were booked in for the next day.

I don’t think I have ever cried so much in my life, not knowing what beholds the precious life I am carrying.
