Baby B Week 26

Ha I know that all I have been posting is weekly updates....I'm not trying to turn this into a baby blog. I just want to post more meaningful things. So I do have some posts in the works, no worries there!

This week we had another ultrasound. Here is a breakdown of our ultrasounds.

Week 8: Check to make sure everything was fine with the previous miscarriage.

Week 18: Find out what we are having.

***Think little buddy has a cyst on his kidney, scheduled for another ultrasound

Week 20: Follow up ultrasound.

***Think you have two ureters on one kidney.

Week 25: Follow up ultrasound.

***Back to thinking you have a cyst on your kidney. But this time instead of one cyst on one kidney you have lots on both kidneys.

Who really knows what that means. I liked the thoughts of the ultrasound doctor. She said these ultrasounds are great to have, but because we are not able to take an ultrasound of little buddy himself we have to just look at them as road maps on the next steps after he is born. At this point in time there is a good possibility that I will have another ultrasound about 34 weeks to see if they want to change their minds again...and for sure on little buddy himself when he gets here.

We'll see what the next few weeks have in store for us...aside from getting bigger! That is one thing that has been a constant!

Baby B Week 24

Baby B Week 23

Ha, it still seems as though I am basing this series on the fact that I am due on May 4th (although my doctor said to expect this guy anytime between April 23rd and the 4th). I was told today that I am measuring big and since my fluid levels are normal I am going to just put a disclaimer out there that I am between 23 and 25 weeks.

My appointment today was good, although it makes me a bit stressed. I got a chance to follow up with my doctor on my last ultra sound results. It seems, the way she was talking, that surgery may be inevitable for little buddy. I asked if it would be the kind of thing that we could wait a bit on or if he'd be a newborn. She said most likely if he does have surgery it will be as a newborn.

I'm glad that we know what is going on, and I think that I am still so blessed that it could always be much worse...but I am still a bit worried about everything. Crazy to think that a laid back mom could be stressing about something, but I am. I guess because only time will tell I will have to learn a lesson in patients.
