My nephew has a one of a kind heart. Not only did he have two severe heart defects that were repaired when he was 6 months old but his electrical system was written about in a medical journal. He was in heart failure the first 6 months of his life. He’s 20 years old and in college to be a pediatric cardiologist like the one that saved him. You would never know he has a special heart-he will have to eventually have a pacemaker and seems the cardiologist every year but he lives a normal life. Just a little story that having a baby with a heart problem can have a happy ending. :)
Yes! Lifting you and baby up that you both remain healthy and baby continues to develop in complete and wonderfully-made perfection. In Jesus’ name, amen!
Listen, we sacrificed our bodies to eat cookies every day until that baby got in you and we are READY to eat the cookies so baby-roni stays healthy when he/she is out too. You ask, you shall receive. Let me get out my chocolate chip recipe now. 🍪🍪🍪- seriously though, always praying for you guys, I have faith that baby will be healthy, happy, and adorable.
I don't deserve y'all 🥺thank you so much for being so sweet and supporting us! I wish I didn't have to call for more cookies but you're right, it's what we need 💙
My son has a severe heart defect and has had two heart surgeries so far. He'll be 1 years old on Saturday. He is doing well! We found out about his heart at my 20 week anatomy scan, so I can relate to how terrifying it is to hear news like that. I found it very comforting to hear that I wasn't alone in having my world rocked. You're not alone. 💕
I had some really bad (life changing) news at my week 20 anatomy scan. Hope everything turns out okay for you and the baby gets born happy and healthy!
I’m a Lupus mom on Plaquenil as well, and went through the same pregnancy angst you are right now. All the talk of heart issues scared the crap out of us too, but we have two healthy strapping young men to show for it. God’s got your back, and He’s got that baby’s back too. What you focus on expands, so try not to focus like mad on the scariest parts. Keep the faith. You’re going to be a beautiful family of three one day soon! ❤️🙏👍
I am 16w5d pregnant and I have SLE. It's comforting to see someone with a platform discuss some of the issues and concerns people with lupus deal with in pregnancy and in general. I have many of the same worries with my pregnancy and watching your video today made me just burst into tears.. and I don't mean that in a bad way. I guess I just feel like sometimes no one understands.. I am praying for a normal anatomy scan for myself in a few weeks and watching this video has made me hopeful! So thank you! Praying for your sweet baby as well as mine that everything will be wonderful and normal going forward. Lots of love💕
Oh mama, this is indeed more than you bargained for! After having my son, no matter how hokey it sounds, I really believe our Littles chose us to be their parents-your sweet little cherub chose you to be their mama & papa no matter the struggles. Lean deeply into eachother & have all the feelings, even if sad or hard, and even if briefly, you deserve to feel it all❤️I’m sending you so much love & holding the positive energy in my heart even when you can’t-you’re not alone & your little one is so loved✨👼🏼🙏🏽
I just feel in the deepest pit of my soul that this baby is going to be perfectly perfect. I have faith that he/she will be healthy. I refuse to think otherwise. 💙💜💙
I know so many people from far and wide are praying for that sweet baby. I know that I’ll be praying for your strength. Baby is LITERALLY giving Grant fist bumps like, “Don’t worry guys, it’s all good.” Your dress is giving me beautiful Terrazzo vibes. You both are prepared, you are strong, you have overcome so many obstacles, and the blessing that will begin at the end of this journey will be the greatest you’ve ever known. Sending SO much love to you!!
Prayers going straight up for a smooth continued pregnancy and delivery, peace and Gods will be done for y’all ♥️You have an incredibly strong husband by your side! So glad you have that not only in happy times but in trying times!! Truly a blessing y’all have each other for these moments!
You should download the Abridge app for your doctor appointments, it’s a way to record your appointments and not miss what the doctor says and you can share with Grant if he can’t be there. They have worked with a ton of specialists and families who visit doctors often to get an accurate dialog as possible with all of the medical terms. Also, praying for you guys just remember everything is already planned out and you are strong enough to handle everything that comes your way
Keeping you in my prayers! I know how hard it is not to worry about your baby and even more so after all you’ve been through to get here. I will pray that these next 7 weeks go by fast and all goes well.
I was praying for you, Grant and the baby while watching. I’m so glad your mindset is faith over fear although I know that can be so hard. Your Dad was right about focusing on the 75% chance of great news! Continued prayers for you and your sweet family.
My sister went through the same thing with one of her twins, she received news about possible heart problems... I can totally see how it can be consuming, it worried all of us, but thankfully they both came out healthy and strong. They are going to be 4 this year! I’m continuing to pray for you and baby R, as Grant mentioned (Aw! 🥰).
Praying for all 3 of you!! I know you and Grant can handle anything that comes your way, and I’m sure baby is going to inherit that quality too. 😊 There’s still a great chance that everything will be just fine. Also, I have a friend who was born with a hole in her heart and had multiple open-heart surgeries through the first 5 years or so of her life. She’s 30 now and living her best life with no issues! I’ll be making more cookies this week and will have some in y’all’s honour! ❤️🍪
We’re pregnant together! I’m 27 weeks now but I’ve been feeling baby since 16-17 weeks too! And my hubby felt him that early too! It was so exciting! I’m so glad you got to experience that too!
You’ve really internalized all of the information and communicate it so well in these videos. We will all think positively and pray hard for your little one, who is still being knit together in there. Sending love to you guys. Education can lessen fear, and You’re going into this so so educated and as prepared as possible. 💜💜
I’m very happy to see that you are trying to be positive! I hope that you can be vigilant and catch any possible changes really early! You two are amazing and I have full trust that you can help your baby no matter what! I look at you and I see my parents, my mom who always knew what I have and how to help me! You are already such an amazing mother and thank you so much for updating us!
I am praying for you and your beautiful baby. I understand high risk pregnancy. I almost lost my youngest son at 18 weeks when I went into actual labor. God bless us with the best doctor who save my baby and I made it to 36 weeks on full bed rest. God bless you stay strong. I am eating tons of cookies and more! God bless.
LeighAnn my heart aches for you and Grant. Although you got "bad" news, I celebrate that you WILL have a perfectly formed baby! I am so glad that you allowed yourself to have a day of grief, but you pulled yourself together and allowed HOPE to remain. My prayer is that you have an uneventful finish to your pregnancy and a beautiful, uneventful birth. Praying for you and Grant! Also, without giving anything away, have you picked a name for Baby?
Love and hugs to you both from a long-term viewer. I hope you feel comfort and hope during this uncertain time, knowing that you take good care of yourself.
Prayers that everything turns out ok. Make sure you check your pulse first as a baseline so you know what your pulse rate is when checking baby’s heart rate on Doppler. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference except baby’s heart rate is higher
Sending you lots of love and positive vibes. I know the stressful/scary feeling of having to wait and see with pregnancy. Not having control over the situation is never easy. Glad you have so many supportive people in your life.
You have SO many good people praying and meditating and manifesting and eating cookies for you, Grant, and baby💗💙 you and baby will be so healthy and happy I believe in this!! Sending all of the prayers to you all❤️💖💙
Many prayers for you momma. I had a high risk pregnancy too and I totally know how you feel about the worry. You try so hard not to think about it but it's so hard. My baby is now 11 years old and very healthy. You are amazing and so is that sweet little baby!
I will certainly be making some cookies in the next few days. Im sorry youre going through such a worrying time with hose possibilities but I'm glad that your baby is healthy and you're able to feel him/her!
It makes my heart so happy how much in 23 years things have advanced. I was high-risk 23 years ago with my daughter and so many of the things that you are saying are the same but there are so many new things like being able to have a Doppler at home is so exciting, I love when science and education with all the advancements are doing something so good you know. Just remember at the end of this you will have a full book of watching your baby grow inside of you and it’s a really cool thing to have, that being said I totally feel you talking about your fears and being afraid of buying things but just remember you went through hell and back conceiving this baby, please try to enjoy every moment of it and that includes a baby shower and buying your first pair of the most adorable booties. Please don’t let your fears stop you from having the enjoyment that you deserve. We are here for you and we will stand by you with all of your decisions, I adore you so much and I’m rooting for you guys from the very beginning. I know everything I’m saying makes you want to say but what if... and there is nothing anyone can say to take those fears away but you have awesome doctors, a loving husband, a supportive family and not to mention every single one of us that are here to support you every step and that alone is so awesome & a gift from God.
I have complete confidence that your little one is going to be healthy, happy and just the cutest, sweetest thing. I'm still going to be eating the cookies and praying the prayers, of course. You just keep thinking positively. We all love you guys so much and are standing by you to give you strength. 💙 My boyfriend is in Dallas for work. I'll have to tell him to go to Rodeo Goat for lunch before they head back to Houston. Do they have parking for a big art handling truck? Lol Not many places do.
You got this momma! Going to the high risk OB is always nerve wracking of you know you are in the best hands, but it's also high risk so that's meh. I see a high risk OB constantly for my issues during my pregnancy and I'm a few days behind you. Just keep fist bumping little cookie monster, listening to the best sound in the world, and be positive :) You two are the most positive and wholesome couples I've seen on RUclips and are already great parents to little cookie monster. Keeping you up in prayers!
Oooooh what a gorgeous little face! That NOSE!! 🥰🥰🥰 Baby R is in my prayers, as are you and Grant, but I have every confidence that (s)he will be perfectly healthy. 💜💙
Keeping you in my thoughts ❤️ I went through IVF just a tad before you, am 23 weeks today and can so relate, I really hope everything will turn out perfectly!
Eating all of the cookies and sending every positive prayer and energy your way! Baby has the best parents and doctors available and all of the good news is the icing on the cake! More doctors visits is a positive really, you'll get to see baby grow stronger and stronger each week! Sending so much love to you! 💙🍪
Praying for you and your fam!! God didn't bring you this far to leave you! He's got this! SN: I'm so glad I found you again! I used to watch you years ago, and so excited to see this today!
My son have heart problems and we took him to a specialist and they said he would grow out of it. 16 years later I call him the jolly green giant because he is much taller than me and almost taller than my husband so things can always work out don’t stress about it too much.
It's so hard when you don't fully know what will happen. At our 20 week scan, they thought they saw that the baby was missing their CSP, which is part of their brain. We were left to spiral for three days, thinking our baby was going to die, and then had a second ultrasound, to clear it. Four doctors said it looked like the brain was actually fine, but we won't fully know until he's born, or that's my opinion anyway. I remember wishing it was a heart problem because atleast there's an option for a heart transplant, but not a brain transplant! Please keep being hopeful, going forwards, and buying for baby, because you guys deserve this happiness, and it would be so wasted if baby is fine, and you had lost this opportunity of joy. ❤
You're in my thoughts. I pray that everything will be okay. I ate some cookies whilst watching this. Positive thoughts all the way every day. Thinking of you both 💓xx
Best wishes to you and know everything will be okay. My mom has lupus and had a hard time getting pregnant with me and she had the same scary scenario told to her and I was fine and now am in my late 20s and than she went on to have my younger brother and had to think of the same scary scenarios and he came out perfectly, a month premature, but he no complications and got to come home on time.
Feeling baby move is crazy! I’m 28w and feels like baby is breakdancing lol. Also about the weather, where I live we’re currently getting a snow storm lol. Good ol Canada
I really looking forward to watching but can’t right now. All I know is you need support from your homies and we’re here for you! Eating cookies tonight! ❤️
Ok, does me telling you sad stuff make you sad or grateful its not as bad for you? If the former ... skip this comment. But I went through menopause last summer and at age 56 with no guy prospects in site, having a family is out of the question. Which was fine my entire life until I fell in love for the first time 7 years ago with a non-reciprocating party. NOW I want a loving fam b\c damn, being in love feels GREAT, but alas! Yes I'm twice divorced but those were lessons for me that I have to be in love or it just doesn't work. And yes, during my 2nd marriage I miscarried at 3 months and the lesson was I wasn't afraid of motherhood. So again, as I 've mentioned before, I am living vicariously through you, Leighann. Thank you for sharing your life.
Fellow IVF patient here- transfer next week! Did your RE warn you of any additional risks knowing you had lupus or was the first you had heard of it? I ask because I have an auto immune myself and nothing brought up
Healthy baby, healthy mom. We are tall too. Watch out .my oldest son grown @ 6"6. He was a "toddler" at birth. None of his baby clothes fit. They had no idea 😄🤗
I was 42 when I was pregnant with my only child. We had some test results indicate that there was a 25% chance that something was wrong with the baby. I was scared to death for days. Try to remember that if the weatherman reported a 25% chance of rain you probably wouldn’t take an umbrella. Praying that all goes well.
Imagine this: it’s fall, you and Grant are home and introducing Babyroni to Luna and your family. Babyroni is perfect with 10 fingers and 10 toes, a precious face, and the best new baby smell. It’s a beautiful, cozy fall day and you think back on all the ups and downs that led to this moment and smile at your baby because they’re in your arms and none of the challenges matter anymore. The first positive test that didn’t work out, the hyper-stimulation, the pain (in the butt!) of taking shots everyday, and now this. Because all of the time, energy, emotion, blood, sweat, and tears were all worth it. ♥️♥️ you’ve got this mama. We’re all here rooting for you ♥️
😭😭😭 thank you so much for this. im barely holding my tears in reading everyone's comments and this is just too kind and thoughtful. I'm so grateful for your support 💙
As a mama with lupus, taking plaquenil, and just went through all the neonatal lupus testing and precautions (& all the extra doctors and appointments) sending you all the prayers and positive vibes! Our happy healthy babe is turning one in July with no heart issues 💕 hopefully your little one is also just trying to prepare you for the teenage years 😘
I’m a mom (to 5 kiddos) with Lupus as well. I was on plaquenil (and steroids) for years as well. All of my kids are fine. And I had scares while pregnant as well. My youngest is 12 now. I’m sure everything will be fine. I will be praying for you guys.
I have the lupus antibodies and after 3 heart healthy kids, my 4th was diagnosed with complete heart block at 22 weeks, she had a pacemaker placed at 3 months. She just turned 3 and is THRIVING! I'd love to share our story with you, mama ❤️
wonderful beauiful . I know two kids born w heart issues both had many surgeries for blockages and such One is 11 now doing great has sibling now other 5yr mid child does well too.
Just remember that doctors have to tell high risk patients all the possibilities. And possibilities are not the same as probabilities! Baby will be fine! I admire the way you work through the possibility of bad news.
My sister-in-laws baby had the craziest scenario with her heart! She was 1 in 3 cases. They discovered the issue because her HR was 250! She had heart failure and they did have to shock her at birth (there are a lot details) My sister in law went to a 4-6 dr appts/week for the last 3 months of her pregnancy. The baby today is perfectly healthy now. It was an absolute miracle. I have faith that your baby will be good! Keep your heads high and keep praying! I’ll be praying too!
thank you so much for sharing this story with me! its so encouraging to hear from everyone with great outcomes after hard pregnancies. im so glad your SIL's baby is healthy!
Grant is so steady, and calm, and positive. Cross bridges as you get there, kind of a guy. What a blessing to have him in your corner! All the best to baby- you are going to come out of this JUST FINE.
My Joe is very much like your Grant. Having a partner that is so calm and level headed truly helps keep me grounded and feeling safe. I am the worrier in our relationship. I also feel so lucky to have him by my side. I have been disabled since 2014, he’s been my rock. It’s been a lot. I couldn’t have gotten through all of this without him. Marriage/life isn’t easy at times. Stress and worry isn’t easy to endure alone, having someone by our side to support us moving forward is such a blessing. Grant is going to be an absolutely wonderful dad, and you are going to be a great mother.
I’m going to pass on a Nelson Mandela quote that really speaks to me: “May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” Choose the crib. Decorate the nursery. You’re surrounded by love and support. 💛
I had high risk pregnancy being 38 years old and having Sjogrens with my 12 year old, and you will love seeing that sweet baby so much. Make sure you get DVD's if they do that for you.
@@AmandaandlolaNL we are I remember when Luna into our lives and Leighann found her back in Houston after house purchase. Luna had both my daughter and my own heart at first site esp adjusting to little backyard.
I never comment but I’ve been watching you for years and just wanted to tell you my heart felt every bit of this. My daughter was born at 27 weeks and I had those same thoughts about how can I buy anything for her when I don’t know if she’ll even come home and thankfully she did come home💛 I am praying so hard for you guys. A verse that I hold dear to my heart is “prepare your fields for his blessings” Gods got this. I’m so happy you have an amazing support system!
My aunt has Sjogren's and my cousin had heart block. She had a pacemaker placed at 3 days old, and she is a healthy, active 7 year old now! Keeping my fingers crossed for good outcomes 🤞🤞🤞

love that story !
@@MonibooFinebean Thank you. He is his mama’s (and his Aunt’s) pride and joy 😊
That’s interesting - I also was born with a really complex heart defect and I’m studying premedicine as well! ♥️ all the best to him!
Wow what an awesome story
Prayer warriors unite! Lifting you in prayer sweet friend!

@@leighannsays cookies on the oven, baby-roni is going to rock this and come out healthy and happy
Same thought here. Still eating cookies! Thinking positive, sending light. 💚
Okay this comment made me bawl, I love this community 🥰
AMEN! All the cookies for baby-roni!

Positive thoughts can move mountains. We're all sending good vibes to the three of you 💗
There is so much they can do now a days. I know that first hand! The monitor will help you! Hearing that heartbeat every day can be very reassuring!
Many prayers for you momma. I had a high risk pregnancy too and I totally know how you feel about the worry. You try so hard not to think about it but it's so hard. My baby is now 11 years old and very healthy. You are amazing and so is that sweet little baby!

We are here for you and we will stand by you with all of your decisions, I adore you so much and I’m rooting for you guys from the very beginning. I know everything I’m saying makes you want to say but what if... and there is nothing anyone can say to take those fears away but you have awesome doctors, a loving husband, a supportive family and not to mention every single one of us that are here to support you every step and that alone is so awesome & a gift from God.
I have complete confidence that your little one is going to be healthy, happy and just the cutest, sweetest thing. I'm still going to be eating the cookies and praying the prayers, of course. You just keep thinking positively. We all love you guys so much and are standing by you to give you strength. 💙
My boyfriend is in Dallas for work. I'll have to tell him to go to Rodeo Goat for lunch before they head back to Houston. Do they have parking for a big art handling truck? Lol Not many places do.
You got this momma! Going to the high risk OB is always nerve wracking of you know you are in the best hands, but it's also high risk so that's meh. I see a high risk OB constantly for my issues during my pregnancy and I'm a few days behind you. Just keep fist bumping little cookie monster, listening to the best sound in the world, and be positive :) You two are the most positive and wholesome couples I've seen on RUclips and are already great parents to little cookie monster. Keeping you up in prayers!
Oooooh what a gorgeous little face! That NOSE!! 🥰🥰🥰 Baby R is in my prayers, as are you and Grant, but I have every confidence that (s)he will be perfectly healthy. 💜💙
Keeping you in my thoughts ❤️ I went through IVF just a tad before you, am 23 weeks today and can so relate, I really hope everything will turn out perfectly!
Sending so much love and healthy energy to sweet baby!! And extra cookies like y’all deserve ❤️❤️
Keeping you in my thoughts. All you can do is be positive and cherish every moment. ❤️
Sorry to hear this Leigh Ann, do your best to give it to god xxxxx
I know it must be scary, but I have confidence baby will be just fine. 💕 Sending so much love. 🍪🍪🍪
Eating all of the cookies and sending every positive prayer and energy your way! Baby has the best parents and doctors available and all of the good news is the icing on the cake! More doctors visits is a positive really, you'll get to see baby grow stronger and stronger each week! Sending so much love to you! 💙🍪
Dad advice can be pretty solid 💜
Praying for you and your fam!! God didn't bring you this far to leave you! He's got this! SN: I'm so glad I found you again! I used to watch you years ago, and so excited to see this today!
My son have heart problems and we took him to a specialist and they said he would grow out of it. 16 years later I call him the jolly green giant because he is much taller than me and almost taller than my husband so things can always work out don’t stress about it too much.
Just try to remember it hasn't happened yet. Your baby is happy and healthy right now. That's what is important.
It's so hard when you don't fully know what will happen. At our 20 week scan, they thought they saw that the baby was missing their CSP, which is part of their brain. We were left to spiral for three days, thinking our baby was going to die, and then had a second ultrasound, to clear it. Four doctors said it looked like the brain was actually fine, but we won't fully know until he's born, or that's my opinion anyway. I remember wishing it was a heart problem because atleast there's an option for a heart transplant, but not a brain transplant!
Please keep being hopeful, going forwards, and buying for baby, because you guys deserve this happiness, and it would be so wasted if baby is fine, and you had lost this opportunity of joy. ❤
Praying right along with you! Keep the faith! ❤❤❤❤❤
Praying for you both and baby.
Do all of it. Buy the crib, do it all.
Praying for you friend!!💚💜💚💜
Going to get cookies tonight. Sending so many prayers for you and baby.
Praying for your sweet family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're in my thoughts. I pray that everything will be okay. I ate some cookies whilst watching this. Positive thoughts all the way every day. Thinking of you both 💓xx
Best wishes to you and know everything will be okay. My mom has lupus and had a hard time getting pregnant with me and she had the same scary scenario told to her and I was fine and now am in my late 20s and than she went on to have my younger brother and had to think of the same scary scenarios and he came out perfectly, a month premature, but he no complications and got to come home on time.
Still the cutest baby I’ve ever seen. Lucky I bought cookies this week, will definitely be eating some for y’all
I wish you a healthy pregnancy & birth. Hope everything works out well ! Sending you positive vibes :)
Feeling baby move is crazy! I’m 28w and feels like baby is breakdancing lol. Also about the weather, where I live we’re currently getting a snow storm lol. Good ol Canada
Praying for my favorite fam ❤️
The devil is a liar and he preys on your fear!! God will protect you! He is almighty! Praying for you and baby!
I really looking forward to watching but can’t right now. All I know is you need support from your homies and we’re here for you! Eating cookies tonight! ❤️
I am praying for you! ❤️
So many prayers!
I'll be praying for you guys 💜
I am praying for y’all. It is hard enough having Lupus. I have SLE Lupus and it is hard
Sending so much love and support your way! 💜💜💜
You are glowing ✨✨✨
Just ate a cookie! 🍪 ❤️ Keeping baby and your family in my prayers!
Ok, does me telling you sad stuff make you sad or grateful its not as bad for you? If the former ... skip this comment. But I went through menopause last summer and at age 56 with no guy prospects in site, having a family is out of the question. Which was fine my entire life until I fell in love for the first time 7 years ago with a non-reciprocating party. NOW I want a loving fam b\c damn, being in love feels GREAT, but alas! Yes I'm twice divorced but those were lessons for me that I have to be in love or it just doesn't work. And yes, during my 2nd marriage I miscarried at 3 months and the lesson was I wasn't afraid of motherhood. So again, as I 've mentioned before, I am living vicariously through you, Leighann. Thank you for sharing your life.
Fellow IVF patient here- transfer next week! Did your RE warn you of any additional risks knowing you had lupus or was the first you had heard of it? I ask because I have an auto immune myself and nothing brought up
Healthy baby, healthy mom. We are tall too. Watch out .my oldest son grown @ 6"6. He was a "toddler" at birth. None of his baby clothes fit. They had no idea 😄🤗
I was 42 when I was pregnant with my only child. We had some test results indicate that there was a 25% chance that something was wrong with the baby. I was scared to death for days. Try to remember that if the weatherman reported a 25% chance of rain you probably wouldn’t take an umbrella. Praying that all goes well.
That's such a good way of looking at it!
I love this perspective. 💜🥰
This was so perfect! I hope Leigh Ann sees this perspective
Beautiful way to look at it
THIS IS SO GOOD
Long time viewer and never commented. Lifting you up in prayers. This baby is a fighter and strong!
thank you so much! I believe this baby will make it through this.
@@leighannsays absolutely!!! Be strong, you guys are amazing parents, you’ll have an amazing baby. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Imagine this: it’s fall, you and Grant are home and introducing Babyroni to Luna and your family. Babyroni is perfect with 10 fingers and 10 toes, a precious face, and the best new baby smell. It’s a beautiful, cozy fall day and you think back on all the ups and downs that led to this moment and smile at your baby because they’re in your arms and none of the challenges matter anymore. The first positive test that didn’t work out, the hyper-stimulation, the pain (in the butt!) of taking shots everyday, and now this. Because all of the time, energy, emotion, blood, sweat, and tears were all worth it. ♥️♥️ you’ve got this mama. We’re all here rooting for you ♥️
😭😭😭 thank you so much for this. im barely holding my tears in reading everyone's comments and this is just too kind and thoughtful. I'm so grateful for your support 💙
This is so perfect 😍
THIS IS EVERYTHING!!
Best 👏🏻 comment 👏🏻 ever 👏🏻 😭🥰🥰🥰
this is not even my baby and I am bawling over this comment at 7 am 😭😭 this is so sweet
As a mama with lupus, taking plaquenil, and just went through all the neonatal lupus testing and precautions (& all the extra doctors and appointments) sending you all the prayers and positive vibes! Our happy healthy babe is turning one in July with no heart issues 💕 hopefully your little one is also just trying to prepare you for the teenage years 😘
I’m a mom (to 5 kiddos) with Lupus as well. I was on plaquenil (and steroids) for years as well. All of my kids are fine. And I had scares while pregnant as well. My youngest is 12 now. I’m sure everything will be fine. I will be praying for you guys.
I have the lupus antibodies and after 3 heart healthy kids, my 4th was diagnosed with complete heart block at 22 weeks, she had a pacemaker placed at 3 months. She just turned 3 and is THRIVING! I'd love to share our story with you, mama ❤️
thank you so much for sharing this with me! I'm so glad she is thriving and you've had so many healthy babies! 💙
@@leighannsays I also wanted to say, I had a fifth baby and was on plaq from the beginning and she was born heart healthy 💜
wonderful beauiful . I know two kids born w heart issues both had many surgeries for blockages and such One is 11 now doing great has sibling now other 5yr mid child does well too.
My 2nd daughter is the same! Just commented up thread, happy to share my experiences with you Leigh Ann!
Just remember that doctors have to tell high risk patients all the possibilities. And possibilities are not the same as probabilities! Baby will be fine! I admire the way you work through the possibility of bad news.
My sister-in-laws baby had the craziest scenario with her heart! She was 1 in 3 cases. They discovered the issue because her HR was 250! She had heart failure and they did have to shock her at birth (there are a lot details) My sister in law went to a 4-6 dr appts/week for the last 3 months of her pregnancy. The baby today is perfectly healthy now. It was an absolute miracle. I have faith that your baby will be good! Keep your heads high and keep praying! I’ll be praying too!
thank you so much for sharing this story with me! its so encouraging to hear from everyone with great outcomes after hard pregnancies. im so glad your SIL's baby is healthy!
Grant is so steady, and calm, and positive. Cross bridges as you get there, kind of a guy. What a blessing to have him in your corner! All the best to baby- you are going to come out of this JUST FINE.
yes he is chilllax guy jelp her ground
So true ❤️ we all need this energy in our lives!
I'm so lucky it to have him 😭💙
I imagine its part his personality and part education given his job. They are blessed 🙌
My Joe is very much like your Grant. Having a partner that is so calm and level headed truly helps keep me grounded and feeling safe. I am the worrier in our relationship. I also feel so lucky to have him by my side.
I have been disabled since 2014, he’s been my rock. It’s been a lot. I couldn’t have gotten through all of this without him. Marriage/life isn’t easy at times. Stress and worry isn’t easy to endure alone, having someone by our side to support us moving forward is such a blessing.
Grant is going to be an absolutely wonderful dad, and you are going to be a great mother.
I’m going to pass on a Nelson Mandela quote that really speaks to me:
“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”
Choose the crib. Decorate the nursery. You’re surrounded by love and support. 💛
Amazingly said
I’m a special needs mom, and this quote speaks volumes!🤍
Beautiful!
YES AND YES AND YES!!!!
This is so beautiful 😭💗
Perks of more ultrasounds are seeing that cutie patootie more 😘
thats what my sister said too 💙
I had high risk pregnancy being 38 years old and having Sjogrens with my 12 year old, and you will love seeing that sweet baby so much. Make sure you get DVD's if they do that for you.
Exactly!
Luna starting our family meeting in the dining room that bark meant “cookie people hustle we need the cookies cause we are a one - huddle up people”
awww that is exactly what she meant 🥰🍪
@@leighannsays she gets us. We are her people
@@AmandaandlolaNL we are I remember when Luna into our lives and Leighann found her back in Houston after house purchase. Luna had both my daughter and my own heart at first site esp adjusting to little backyard.
I never comment but I’ve been watching you for years and just wanted to tell you my heart felt every bit of this. My daughter was born at 27 weeks and I had those same thoughts about how can I buy anything for her when I don’t know if she’ll even come home and thankfully she did come home💛 I am praying so hard for you guys. A verse that I hold dear to my heart is “prepare your fields for his blessings” Gods got this. I’m so happy you have an amazing support system!
My aunt has Sjogren's and my cousin had heart block. She had a pacemaker placed at 3 days old, and she is a healthy, active 7 year old now! Keeping my fingers crossed for good outcomes 🤞🤞🤞
thank you so much for sharing this with me!! positive stories are so encouraging especially right now ❤️
I’ve had mine since I was 8 days old and I’m a healthy 30 year old woman hoping to start my own family one day too!
