So week 26 has been exciting! I had a Dr. appointment yesterday and everything is looking great. Some of you may know that the last couple of weeks have been very hard on us. During my ultrasound at 18 weeks they noticed what are called choroid plexus cysts in our baby's brain. The cysts are common, but they can lead to severe problems like down syndrome or trisomoy 18. So of course we were very scared and anxious. We were sent through a couple of ultrasounds since then to monitor the cysts, and I was given the option to do an amnio (which I am glad I declined). We also told that some babies out grow the cysts around week 24. My last ultrasound was at 24 weeks, and yesterday my midwife told me that the ultrasound showed that our baby no longer has these cysts. We prayed about this told whole time, and it is such a blessing that she is going to be ok. So, I will continue to pray and thank God for our baby's health.
In other news this week, she has been moving around a lot more. Last night I was able to sit and watch her move around in my belly. I can't believe how active she is! As you can see in the picture I am growing a lot quicker than I realized. Today a stranger asked if I was due within the next month or if I was having twins! Geeze I must be getting huge!!
