Ultrasound and Other Updates!
So...Jake and I went to my ultrasound appointment yesterday. It's was cool to see our little baby again. He/ she has my nose! It's amazing. We got quite a scare though when the radiologist told us that she saw a cyst on the baby's brain. She said she wasn't too concerned though because everything else looked normal. But of course I was scared and worried as much as I tried not to be. But I got a hold of my ob/gyn this morning and she spoke with the ultrasound doc and she gave me some reassurance. She said the baby has what is called a choroid plexus cyst (two of them) which are located in the non-thinking part of the baby's brain. She said the cysts are small which is awesome news because there is usually only cause for concern when the cyst is greater than 1cm. When the cysts are large there is a risk of the baby having Trisomy 18 or Edward's Syndrome. I asked her if the cysts could grow and she said they normally don't and in most cases it's just something the baby has from conception but doesn't cause any problems. Jake and I have an appointment with a genetic counselor on the 14th just to answer any other questions we might have and another ultrasound May 26th. I guess this is where I need to trust that God has a plan for us and even though speaking with my doc gave me some relief I still can't help but worrying a little. I just praise God that so far everything seems to be ok! It's been a pretty overwhleming 24 hours! We will put up ultrasound pics on sunday after we find out if our baby is a he or a she! Can't wait!
