Okay, I just realized I never blogged about our worries for my precious little boys health!! OMG, how could I have missed that one??
So, at our second Ultrasound the doctor noticed that there were some measurements that were on the high side of average in the brain. They wanted to take another look to see what was up so four weeks later I had another ultrasound. They saw that the measurements had gone up to just over what is in the "normal" range. They told me that it was probably nothing, but we would rather be safe than sorry so they scheduled me to see a specialist to see what he thought of the situation.
The parts of the brain that were measuring large were the ventricals. The doctor told me that normal goes up to 10mm and Rex measured at 10.5mm. Hardly a huge margin, but enough to make this momma worry her brains out for 2 weeks while I was waiting for my appointment. There were all kinds of scary words floating around and I avoided google to keep my sanity.
I had a huge group of wonderful people praying for me and my baby. Luckily the Lord has blessed us with a healthy and rambunctious baby!
When we went to the specialist appointment we had almost an hour of watching my baby move around while they took their measurements and then the specialist came in and told me that my son is fine! They measurements in the brain have actually gone down. The doctor said that they aren't sure why, but it's okay for those numbers to flucuate and they aren't concerned unless the see steady increases that could indicate a blockage of some sort. He also said that if they were able to set the standard of norms today that a measurement of 11 or 12mm for that particular part in the brain would be fine, but since 10 had already been set it's not something that is easy to change.
Now that everyone is completely up to date I'd love to take this time to say, I HAVE A NORMAL HEALTHY BABY GROWING IN MY TUMMY!!!! I'm thrilled to be able to say that, so thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers.
