Stress Has Gone Away!!!

I have kept some of the pregnancy experience on the down low but I am finally ready to share my thoughts!! At 12 weeks I went in for my tri-screen ultrasound to check for any signs of down syndrome or any other concerns that there may be! I did the ulrasound mainly because I wanted to see how he was developing! After my screen I was called into my doctors office because they found some markers on the baby that were linked to downs. They drew some blood from me and as expected it came back saying I had a 1 in 30 chance of having a baby with downs. At my 20 week ultrasound they found another marker on his heart called a EIF that is also linked to downs. I decided to go and see a specialist to find out what I could and he told me that the baby looked ok, however, there was still fluid on his neck (more than normal) However, not enough. He then said I was still a high risk because of my other test results. Another ultrasound at my regular OB was done again and I was told the spot on his heart was still there and the fluid was getting bigger..... Can I just say what a nightmare this was becoming! I was prepared to raise whatever child I was given, down syndrome or no down syndrome and it would not make a difference. Over the past several weeks I have researched all I could about down syndrome and learned what I could! Josh and I decided that we were going to do the amnio, well I decided for us! I had my appointment on Wednesday and they took the necessary fluid to send to the lab..... Today I got the call saying that everything was just fine! For the last 29 weeks I have been a wreck on the inside! We miscarried about 2 years ago and from the get go with this little guy I have not felt great and I have had my fair share of appointments so I was beginning to feel very stressed! For the first time in months I am finally able to smile and be excited and not have to worry about waiting for answers!! We have them and now we can concentrate on getting him here safe and sound!!! Thank you to those who knew for your multiple prayers and words of encouragement!! They meant so much to us!!

Beautiful Boy!!

Here are some great shots from my appointment today!! Look how handsome his little face is! I cannot believe how much he looks like Josh! His head is measuring about 2 weeks ahead, no cause for concern... And they say he weighs about 3 pounds!! WOW!! Slow down there baby boy! As you can see with most of my other photos he loves his hands! I was not supposed to have a 3d ultrasound today but the nurse switched it up on me!! Happy day!!!

28 Weeks and Counting!!

Here we are at 28 weeks, or 29 by the way he is measuring!! Just thought I would give you all a belly shot!! I really need to have someone start taking these for me!!
I am sure these next several weeks he is going to get much bigger!! I will enjoy being small while it lasts!! However, I do not feel so small!! My belly button still has not popped out which is great!! He is still moving like crazy which is great!! I have another ultrasound on Wednesday so there will be some new pictures to post!!

My Fear Came True!!!

Well it finally happened.... I always wondered what it would be like and now I know!! I know what it is like to be driving and throw up!!! I was not able to pull off the side of the road because of traffic, so I grabbed a grocery bag and the rest is history! The only bad part was there was a small hole, lukcy for me it was not a lot! Also lucky I was on my way to work and I had extra scrubs there!! What a great morning!!!

Halloween and Other Happenings!

Hannah Montana graced us with her presence last night for the Halloween festivities!! However, by the end of the night the wig was not such a big hit! Hailey loved her costume! We went out to dinner with Jim and Robin and then came home and I took Hailey trick or treating! Josh has been battling a cold so he got candy duty! We had a great time!!

I had another ultrasound on Wednesday but they are unable to figure out why there has been so much pain on my right side! It may just be where he is choosing to lay! He is quite the active little guy! With such a little personality already! I do have pictures from my drs visit that I will post once I get them scanned! My doctor called to go over results with me on some things we have been monitoring with him and I asked him how big he was, he said he is now a whopping 1 pound 14 ounces!! He is getting big!!

Last Tuesday night it began snowing and snowed until Thursday evening!! We got about 15 inches at our house! Nothing like getting a halloween costume just to have it covered by a big jacket!! Oh well, we do not mind the snow!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!!
