Oh my goodness, how scary. I am so sorry y'all are having to deal with this. Big, huge hugs and I will definitely keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers. Keep your positive attitude and that beautiful smile on your face!
How scary. I don't have anything else to add - I think everyone has said it, but I just want you know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Hugs to you. I can't imagine the emotions you are feeling. I will be thinking positive thoughts for you and LO. Please let us know if we can do anything and we are here for you.
I was hoping you would get a simple answer with an easy fix today. I am so sorry you are going through this. The unknown is worse than knowing, IMO. At least with knowledge can come a plan. I hope you get better answers next week. Please know we are all here for you! Hugs!!

I just got home to see this. I'm so very sorry this is happening. Being in limbo sucks so much, because your mind is just constantly going. I am praying hard that this turns out to be something simple and easily resolved. I think that telling your mom might be ok. You can lean on her and not have to be the strong one for a moment and that's ok.I'm here for you however you need. Even it's just a bad day and you want to catch lunch. I did both sets of our genetic testing thru Children's and they were really wonderful. Not sure where they have you going. Awh hon, this is just so hard.
I'm so sorry to hear things didn't go the way you hoped and that you have to go through such a stressful and scary time. I'll definitely be thinking of you and nugget often and hoping for the best outcome possible. Biggest creepiest Internet hugs to you my dear!

Trixi I am so sorry to hear that you are having to go through this and that you weren't able to get any definitive answers today. You and your LO wil be in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that you are able to get some answers soon. Lots of hugs momma.
xanthepants, they have us going to the Pediatric Radiology department at the UofM for the MRI.
We did tell just our parents last night, but we kept it simple. My mom of course wanted to be all huggy and wanted to know how I was. I had to tell her to stop when she started tearing up... I can't deal with her emotions. I'm honestly not in a place to have to comfort her and I know that's not what she meant to do, but I am not all weepy about it, so I can't have her getting that way, I know that sounds cold and callous. I just don't have enough information yet... and honestly I'm a "lets face this head on" kind of person with most things, and she is the same way in most ways, but much more emotional about things overall than I typically am. She thankfully listened to me and pulled it together right away.
Of course when I told her I was going to the UofM, she was like "well I wish you were going to Mayo instead..." and something about how the U "has had issues lately". Whatever that means. I told her the doctors I am seeing at the hospital here are all related to the UofM network, so I'm going to trust that the university also knows what they're talking about right now.
H's parents took it well, as I figured they would. They know that we just need more information before we draw any conclusions.
Trixi, I am so sorry. The unknown can be so scary. It sounds like the doctors are moving forward on figuring out what it is and how best to help nugget. It is amazing what doctors can do today before the baby is even born, if that ends up being necessary.
You are an amazing mom! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Oh Trixi, I am so sorry to hear all of this is happening to the baby and you. Hoping that it is nothing and you are able to get better answers and pictures at your next appointment. Praying for you and your family!
After two years of TTC, our beautiful twins came to us through IVF with ICSI. Our Beautiful Twins, Adam and Addison were born on June 27, 2012 after 19 weeks on bed rest and lots of scares of mommy and daddy.
We said a sad goodbye to our Angel baby in January of 2013- BFP 12/5/2012 EDD 8/06/2013 = MMC 12/31
Baby #3 is on the way! EDD: July 14, 2015!
I'm so so sorry I really hope you are able to get some answers soon. It must be awful not knowing. fwiw, 2 of my friends had babies (one of them is 2 now, the other just turned 1 today) that both needed open heart surgery as soon as they were born. They did amazing and both are doing awesome now. Hopefully everything will be ok with your Nugget though that you won't have to worry about a surgery. Sending tons of hugs to you!
