Man this child is really growing now....I am actually bigger then what I look like in the pic (or at least I feel that way LOL) Its so hard to believe his due date is only 9 weeks away!!! I finally got to meet the doc that will be doing my c-section and I am totally impressed. I am going to stop seeing the midwife and only see him now.....He has a wild sense of humor and I know he will make me feel at ease on the table. 

We have gathered up just about everything we need, except for the crib and diapers. Other then that we are set with all the basic stuff.

Both doctors offices called today to tell me the CF test was NEGITIVE!!!!!!

Wooohoooooo *runs around doing the happy dance*

Well this was the best I could do to get a pic of kidlet LOL ..I had to use the web cam.....dang scanner still wont work :(

Its a pic of the head and hands....but kinda hard to see.

Kidlet and I had an appointment yesterday with the specialist. We are now 18w3d along.  During the ultrasound, they told me they found the bowel to be "bright"....*sigh*....This is a possible sign for cystic fibrosis.  I had blood work done to see if I was a carrier. If the test comes back negitive, kidlet is in the clear for CF. IF it comes back possitive, Tommy will then have to have the blood test done to see if he is also a carrier.  If he isnt, kidlet, again is in the clear, but if we are both carriers, oy.........I tried to track down my old docs from 15 years ago and that was a dead end....I then started to think that they prolly did that test then and maybe I was negitive as a carrier, it could be possible that, that is why I have never heard of the test before?!

I really do believe in my heart that the docs are just blowing smoke.....when I see kidlet dancing around during the ultrasounds, I just know everything is fine. The heart sounds so strong and the movements are so cool to watch. I cant post the latest pics as my scanner has decided to take a crap :( but they are awesome. One pic is of the head with its lil tiny hand next to it, looks likes its waving (or as my son said, mom kidlets just paracticing his/her middle finger skills LOL)

One of the pics is rather a lil trippy looking....its like you can see another face looking at you.....its really freaky!!!

Both the docs in the room kept trying to push the amnio test in my face.....man how many times do you have to say NO before they will get it threw thier head????? We are going to love this baby no matter what...so why should I risk the chance of a miscarrage???? 

I hope to have the CF results back next week. So I need to beg ya all to please keep kidlet in your thoughts....


(gonna x-post this to my main journal)

Just in case anyone was wondering, yes I am still alive :)

Things have been a lil hectic, Doc's have implanted the thought of us having a Downs baby firmly in our heads.  Now please no, "oh i'm sorry" stuff. Its all cool.  I have refused to have any further tests done. I have had the ultrasound and the blood work and they both say there is a VERY HIGH chance that the baby does have downs. I am just going to continue with the ultrasounds to keep an eye on the kidlet. They will send me to another specialist when I am farther along to check on the babies heart. The major thing that they are concerned about is the buildup on the kidlet's neck, it looks huge.

Other then that I am doing great. I really do think its a girl!!! This pregnancy is so diff then it was with the boys. Heartburn, morning sickness, hickups all the time LOL and I have lost weight (but that is normal for me when I am pregnant)

I finally talked Tommy outta naming the baby Harley if its a girl...he is "allowing" me to drop the R and name her Haley, which is totally cool with me, as I LOVE that name.

Well time to go eat....again LOL
