24 Weeks

Here are some new pictures from today at 24 weeks. I have a rash from the pregnancy and I dont know if you will be able to tell, but it makes taking pictures not so fun. I also have new ultrasound pictures of the baby's face and ting-ting. I will scan them later but for now I just took pictures of them.....

So, alot has happened over the last couple weeks. I posted a blog about my ear infection, and after a few days my ear drum ruptured. It was painful. When I saw my ultrasound doctor yesterday, he recommended that I go see a ear, nose, and throat specialist. He also recommended that I go see a dermatologist since I caught ringworm from a little boy I know and its only become worse over the past 6 weeks. And if that wasn't enough to worry about, yesterday Jay and I found out that the baby's kidneys were larger than normal 4 weeks ago but the doctor and his nurses failed to tell us this until yesterday. Ugh. This is why I have new ultrasound pictures because the baby has to be monitored now, most likely for the rest of the pregnancy, but yesterday everything appeared to have gone back to normal. The doctor says its nothing to worry about now that the kidneys are no longer enlarged but if they get an abnormal reading again then someone might have to look at the baby after he is born. He also said that sometimes this abnormality is linked to down syndrome which raised my risk factor a little bit but I still have a 1 and 950 chance so thats not too bad. Jay is not worried at all, and I'm not too worried about it now that I talked to the doctor about it but it still pisses me off that we weren't told. Doctors are idiots.

On the bright side of things, we saw our baby again and this time he is so much bigger and chubbier. His face and body were so much more defined, it was amazing!! He looks perfect and thinking about his little hands and feet makes me want to cry. We will have another ultrasound at 28 weeks so there will be more pictures of him then. Yay!
