oops sorry....

:) he he, so it has been brought to my attention that i left some information out of my last blog..:) i got all excited about him showing of his...."gender" that i forgot about the whole reason for my appointment... that black spot on his brain..:) well as it turns out there are 2 things it could be, #1 and most dangerous is trisomy 16. which is ALWAYS FATAL....(yeah don't stress out right??) but according to my blood work i have a 1 in 54,000 chance of having a trisomy 16 baby... and i guess one of the signs of trisomy 16 is the baby's hands are always fisted, for some reason the baby doesn't ever open its fists, and well, the ultra sound technician got pictures of his little hand wide open and waving at us, so... that only leaves possibility #2, which is a choroid plexus cyst. basically the part of the brain (in the choroid plexus go figure..) that makes cerebrospinal fluid, basically his brain is making more fluid then his little tubes can handle, and as he grows bigger (usually by week 26) the cyst has resolved itself. they said there are very rare cases where they do autopsy's on 80 and 90 year old people who have led a very healthy long happy normal life who have been found to have choroid plexus cysts, the cyst does not affect brain development, or motor functions or anything. even if it doesn't disappear, he'll never know its there. so yeah, after much prayer and thought Cory and i both feel that he is strong and he is healthy, and that there is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with this tiny we man, except that he may be the next dragon warrior, I'm telling you this kids a kung-fu master!


so yes all is well, baby and i are doing great! he kicks like a champ! and we are so excited to get him here safe and sound. :) i do have a dermatology appointment tomorrow, for those who have seen me lately and know i look like i recently had my wisdom teeth removed from my right side only...(FYI my wisdom teeth were removed in 2001....) it looks worse then it is. its very painful and itches A LOT, but the redness and swelling makes it look worse.. so hopefully tomorrow I'll be getting some cream or anti-something-or-others to make the redness/swelling/itching go away..:) we'll see. wish me luck! love you all!
