Update *do not read if you can't take the sad* **long** UPDATED in original post. *final update 8/9*
Our NT scan was Monday. We lost Baby B. They aren't sure quite when, but sometime between 9-11 weeks. The measurement on Baby A is 6.9. Double the risk limit. We then sat down with the genetic counselor. After talking with her, we opted to do a CVS that day. We went and got lunch and then had the CVS. We actually had the head of Maternal Fetal Medicine and our MFM in the room because of the situation and placement of the placenta. The head of MFM did a lot of scans, both vaginally and abdominally. They took 94 pictures of Baby A. The baby wasn't very cooperative, so even with all of those pictures, they didn't get everything they hoped. So now we wait. It will be up to four weeks for full results, with some results trickling in possibly earlier. The doctors are not hopeful. The BEST case scenario is that Baby A has a major heart defect. The odds are not good. I could lose baby at any time. The odds of baby making it to term are less than 15%, the odds of there being nothing wrong with Baby A are less than 1%. We left the hospital 7 hours after getting there on Monday.
Even though I know this is not my fault. Even though there is nothing I could have done to prevent this. I blame myself. I know it is not my fault, but I do. I feel like I should have protected my babies better. I feel like I should have known something was going wrong. DH and I are a wreck. We are mourning the loss of Baby B. We are terrified of what may be wrong and what may happen with Baby A. We didn't go to work Monday or Tuesday. We both are back to work since yesterday if only for the distraction. I have my 12 week OB appointment this afternoon. I'm terrified. I want to remain hopeful, but I can't seem to bring myself to. I know we most likely won't get any answers today, but I'm also afraid that at any moment we could lose Baby A. Baby A had a wonderful heart rate of 184 and was punching and kicking up a storm on Monday. But we could still lose baby at any moment.
I think I'm just rambling at this point. If you made it through all of this, thank you.
UPDATE
We got the call we were afraid of. Baby A has trisomy 13. I don't really have anything else to add other then to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
8/9 UPDATE
We love our babies with all that we are. The diagnosis for Baby A is crushing. We don't want our baby only to have a short life of suffering, if they even have a chance at life at all.
I am having a D&E on Tuesday. Thank you all for your kind words, they really mean the world to us.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
