Need to fix my mistake, the umbillical cord is suppose to have 2 arteries and one vein. Sorry I had it backwards. Anyways, after some research on the internet we found some good news and some bad. But that is to be expected. A lot of the good news is that she will be fine and there will be no complications. A few of the bad things are: low birth weight, premature birth, difficulties during birth (ending with a c-section), there is just so much information out there that is it hard not to worry. But since my doctor knows about it and they plan on ultrasounds every month and probably more tests throughout the rest of my pregnancy, I am going to try and keep a positive attitude. I will try to keep this updated with any new news that I get.

22 weeks again

I forgot to add that I can feel her moving now. I just thought it was gas at first, but she was very insistent. It is a weird feeling now that I know it is her. She moves a lot. I swear she is doing cartwheels and backflips sometimes. It will be interesting once she can really pack a punch and a kick. I probably won't find it as funny. Oh well. I know she is a mover, everytime I go to the doctor they check her heartbeat and they have trouble pinning her down just to get it. She's just feisty like her mom.

22 weeks

I know it has been awhile since I have updated this. Sorry about that. Everything is going pretty well. I had my 20 week ultra sound done about 2 weeks ago. I found out it's a girl! They couldn't see her very well so I had another ultra sound done again today. She looks absolutely beautiful. They did find a problem though. She looks fine, but there is a problem with the umbillical cord. A normal one has 3 vessals, 2 veins and 1 artery. The problem with mine is that it only has 2 vessals. One vein and one artery. I haven't done the research yet so I am not positive the effects this can have on her. The doctor said it is something they have to watch so I am going to have an ultrasound done once a month to make sure she is still growing and developing appropriately. Right now she looks good, she weighs 1lb 2oz. I will post more information as I get it. For now I am going to post all of her ultra sound pictures starting with her super early ones. So enjoy and know that I have only 4 mos to go!
