Anatomy Scan!

Well.. Today was my long awaited anatomy ultrasound! Most mommy's look forward to this ultrasound, to find out the gender of their unborn baby. We however, already knew we were having a little baby boy, so I looked forward to seeing his growth, making sure the bleed hadn't come back & to check on the ' unknown' in my uterus.

First and for most- my baby boy is growing quite well! Most 19 week baby's weigh 9-10oz... where as Jai, he weighs 13! LOL he is still measuring almost a week early ( today 20w1d ).  All of his little organs were perfect, even his fingers, toes, & nose! :) I was so happy to hear that he is doing well. Also, i found out why today- that im only feeling slight movement on my sides( not in the front of my belly). My placenta is in the front, so it's a cushion for his jabs and kicks! Maybe as he gets stronger i'll feel them better(hopefully).

As for my bleed-.. what bleed? ;) it is still healed!! THANK you LORD!

&& the 'Unkown'... well i know that it is not a cyst, that it is a solid mass of some type.( so i shouldn't worry about it popping.) Today it did appear that there was blood flow to it,or through it. It's really hard to explain, because even the tech herself, couldn't explain it well. She still does not know what it is. But we do know that it is not effecting Jai in the least. So as long as it stays this way, that is all that matters to me. They are going to continue to follow & check this 'unknown' for the next visit and then send me over to NOLA or Mobile to see a maternal fetal specialist. The 'unknown' did grow slightly, but not enough to cause a fuss.

I was suppose to see my doctor after to talk about this specialist, and also ask him about my bed rest/activity level-- but he had to leave for a delivery & surgery. So he wouldn't be back for hours. They told me he will review my chart when he returns and if he wants to see me sooner then my already scheduled appointment, then he'll call.  Next appointment we will be doing another ultrasound to again check this unknown && go from there.

Thank you everyone for continuing to pray for us! I will keep everyone posted!!

oh.. PS i will post ultrasound picture soon!
