There are distinct moments in time when the world seems to pivot and life changes course in an instant, without any intention of your own. You're going casually about your way and then, BOOM; you're headed in a completely different direction. It happened the day I turned around in the train and saw my now husband for the very first time. It happened at a routine ultrasound during my first pregnancy, where we were supposed to learn our baby's gender - but were also unexpectedly given his diagnosis of a neural tube defect.
I know today could harbor one of those moments. This afternoon I am scheduled for my 20-week anatomy scan. My doctor will take an in-depth look at our babies via ultrasound, scanning for any signs of physical anomalies or other potential issues. Particularly because of our history, I am beyond anxious. But, instead of completely freaking out, I am relishing this moment in time before my appointment where everything is still OK. This morning, it's just me and my babies in the bliss of being pregnant and the happiness of good news so far.
