[ultrasound 18w3d]There's Baby C, alive and kickin'. We had our big ultrasound Friday, and because my dad is here visiting, he got to go with us (what a surprise for a first-time grandpa, huh?). The baby is measuring great and has all of its parts -- two arms, two legs, one head, etc. The heartbeat was 136 and the baby weighed 10 ounces, about the weight of a full soda can.
My doctor said the ultrasound tech did see two small cysts near the baby's brain, a condition called choroid plexus cysts that has a weak connection to chromosomal abnormalities. After doing a little research, it looks like the cysts most frequently go away by themselves before the baby is even born. My doctor said it's not anything to worry about, but he's sending us to a specialist for another ultrasound just to be sure. I was a bit disheartened by all of this, but trust that the Lord will take care of it. And prayers are always welcome.
All in all, everything is going well. I feel pretty good and have enjoyed having a few days off of work to visit with my dad. There are a few more ultrasound pics here. Also, this is what I currently look like (after gaining 11 pounds so far).
