Letters to Hannah #3

Dear Hannah,

We went swimming today. Your a little fish. It was such an amazing feeling to feel you 100% because the water made my tummy weightless. I love you so much. I'm glad we got to go!

Love Mummy

Letters to Hannah #2

Dear Hannah,
You are very active baby girl. I already know what music you like best and what you don't. You seem to really like Glee also. Your favourite song they cover is Keep Holding On. You seem to dance when this song is on. You like playing games with daddy to. You and daddy play hide and seek, you get excited when he blows on my stomach. You love daddy's kisses and rubs. You also love Brinn Brinn. She protects you and sleeps beside you on the bed. We love you Hannah!

Love Mummy, Daddy, Bella and Brinnley!

Letters to Hannah

Dear Hannah,
Today I am 19 weeks and 5 days gestation. I found out that you are a little girl. Daddy and I found out about a week ago that there was something wrong with you. A big word called Holoprosencephaly. Its a big long word but it means you aren't developing normally. Mummy's family doctor has helped hundreds of women while they are pregnant, but has never seen this. Hannah you are 1 out of every thousands of babies to have this condition. Between mummy's doctor and the research I have done you have a 3% chance of living. I am seeing a OBGYN and a team of people to help me and daddy understand how we can help you best. God made you the way you are for a reason, and little Hannah we just don't understand why. We love you Hannah, we have since we found out we were pregnant. You are God's precious gift to us and you are loved!

Love Mummy!

Cleft Lip

Yesterday  it was confirmed. Hannah has a cleft lip for sure. I have a few visible ultrasound pictures of it. As well as a visible picture of her brain. It was an emotional visit to the doctors, more because I am a visual learner so to see the ultrasound pictures of her face. She's perfect. She has 11 little finger's, 11 little toes, a perfect nubby nose, cleft lip, working heart and lungs. She's our little girl. We love you little ladybug! Your 30 weeks gestation and are fighting strong. We are climbing our own version of Mount Everest!
