6 weeks left...and I tell you about her dilated ventricle.

Went to the dr. yesterday and baby girl is doing great.  She's weighing in at 4lbs 12oz. Just 4oz shy of 5lbs already! :)  She's measuring right on target. 

I didn't mention anything before because it's just not something I wanted to talk about.  At my 20 week OB visit, my GYN told me that she wanted me to go to the hospital to get antenatal testing done.  She said she saw that baby girl's lateral ventricle was slightly dilated.  It was measuring 9.5-9.9mm.  That's on the high side of normal.  Normal is considered under 10mm.  When I went for my follow up ultrasound, the doctor told me that they consider this mild ventriculomegaly.  So of course I started to freak out.  They asked me if I wanted an amnio and I of course said no!  There are way too many risks associated with amnios.  So since 20 weeks I've had to go to the hospital every month to check on the progress of baby girl and to check her lateral ventricle size.

We are happy to report that at 34 weeks her ventricle size has gone back down to normal and the hospital doesn't need to see me anymore.  Such a weight has been lifted and I can now really enjoy the last few weeks of my pregnancy.  :)

We can't wait to meet you baby girl xoxo.
