Microcephaly

My 11 week old son has just been diagnosed with microcephaly. No issues came up during my pregnancy or at his birth. His head just stopped growing and was picked up at his routine 8 week check up.
I’m struggling to take it all in. You wouldn’t notice there is anything wrong with him. He’s smiling, sleeping/feeding well, batting toys, kicking legs etc. In the middle of having tests to see what’s caused his small head. I’m feeling very anxious about what the future may hold. The doctor said he may have no issues or have developmental issues down the line. He is my second child, and I feel more anxious that I did with my first.
Would be great to get some advice or info from other parents who have gone/going through this.

@Plantlady28 how is you little one getting on? Have you managed to cope with your anxieties?
How is everyone else doing?
We had a month of chicke pox followed by tonsillitis...so not much fun ut otherwise the little devil is doing well. Spot on in every domain but speech is behind. We're still waiting for an SLT appointment.
