I haven't posted for two weeks, because we got some scary news when our doctor gave us the ultrasound results. They found a Choroid Plexus Cyst in our baby's head. It increases the odds that our baby could have Trisomy 18 (a chromosome abnormality). We had our level two ultrasound yesterday in the cities to look for abnormalities in the hands, heart, feet or head. Everything looked completely normal! The perinatologist said she would be surprised if a baby that looked as good as ours has trisomy 18 (the only way to be 100% sure the baby doesn't have trisomy 18 is to do an amnio, and I'm not interested). Also the cyst is gone (which it would go away regardless of if the baby had something wrong or not). So we're relieved and happy to know this. I didn't stress too much these last two weeks, because I was sure the baby was fine. The bonus is we have more baby pics from yesterday:
The baby has it's foot up next to it's nose in this picture:
The heart rate was 149 yesterday. I guess the lower heart rate could mean it's a boy, but a lot of people are telling me that it's a girl because of they way I'm carrying the bump. We're still just hoping for a healthy baby!
And of course belly pics. This first two are from 21 weeks 3 days:
This one is from yesterday, and yes I am wearing the same shirt (oh well):
