But beside the normal stuff at the week 20 ultrasound, the doctor saw a bright white spot on the heart, known in medical terms as an EIF. In the end my doctor that had been on holidays at the time the ultrasound was taken, told me that for our piece of mind we could do the blood test for Down syndrome that is non invasive. So if you are reading this, know that the white spot, without any other symptoms, is just that, a bright spot and your chances of having a healthy baby are very high. I believe we have come a long way and nowadays they can identify a lot of abnormalities early on in pregnancy, but I also think there are so many things that doctors cannot see and say for sure when they talk about babies.

It is the anxiety that comes with your child being sick. When you are awake in the middle of the night with a sick child, you just think that the worse will happen and that it will never end. And as I write this I have the same worried feeling in my stomach and even though I am aware that kids go though stomach bugs all the time, I still can’t shake this feeling. But in the same time, I know that next time it happens, I will know exactly what and how to deal with it.

So happy to finally be able to share the fact that our family is growing and that as of March next year, Luca will be a big brother. I always knew I wanted two kids, maybe because I come from a family with two kids, but it has always seemed like the family I always pictured for myself. Also from my experience with Luca, newborns are not the easiest all the time and if I think of the lack of sleep then I can start picturing some not so nice moments for us… All in all, we are looking forward to life as a family of four since we know we are living the best years of our lives.
