Alex, I know you probably hear from so many families, but I’m hoping you’ll take a moment to hear ours. 💙
We’re expecting our second little boy, and even though we just had our anatomy scan, we’re still waiting on answers. They weren’t able to get adequate views of his heart, spine, and side profile, so we’ve been referred to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist for another ultrasound next month. We’re praying everything is okay, but the uncertainty is scary. Especially since the doctors brought up even the slightest possibility that our baby might have heart and or spinal defects. As parents, we cannot help but see the cost of all the medical treatments and/or surgeries he may need just in his first few weeks of life.
I’ve also had my fair share of illnesses and this pregnancy has also been high-risk. We’re already struggling financially primarily stemming from medical debt, and we have a lot going on at home with other members of our family suffering with an incurable illness (st4 small cell carcinoma), so preparing for another baby has felt extremely overwhelming.
I’m not expecting anyone to fix our situation, but I would be incredibly grateful if you and Babylist would consider helping us clear our registry. Even if it were only the bassinet and diaper bag, those two things would take such a huge weight off our shoulders. And if that’s not possible, even sharing our story would mean more than you know.
I know there are so many families who need help, and I don’t take for granted that we’re even able to ask. I just wanted to be honest about where we are and how much this would mean to our family.
Thank you for creating a movement that gives families like ours a little hope. 💙
