Plop goes the other shoe....

'Member how I said this pregnancy has been so easy? and that I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop?   well, looks like it has.

I had a dr.'s appt this morning.  The hubs didn't come with me because I thought it'd be a pretty routine appt. Listen to the heartbeat, measure the belly, ask questions, etc.  So after the usual routine, the dr. says, 'ok, so you had an ultra sound last week and uhm... well, there are a couple of things that I'm somewhat concerned about.'

OH crap! She found out about my Dr. Pepper addiction (yah, I'm so just like that girl on 'Baby Mama'! )

But that wasn't it. It was something else.  One issue concerned me, the other the baby.

According to the dr. the issue with me is that my cervix is measuring small/short & she was worried that I might go into pre-term labor.  I reminded her that that was the same case with the kiddo, but she said that this time, it's smaller/shorter than before - putting me at  a higher risk.  Seriously, I don't want to be put on bed rest or be considered 'high risk pregnancy', but if I have to, then so be it.  For my sake and the baby's.

The issue with the baby was his measurements.  She said that his head size is not proportioned to his body.  I asked her to clarify, and she started with - -"Well, it's not something to really cause alarm yet...but we need to monitor his growth.  His head is too big for his body."  

She promptly scheduled me for another ultrasound next month.  Ya, a whole month of not knowing.  But she wants to let a month go by so that hopefully his body will grow to match his head size.

She tried to reassure me that it could be nothing at all to worry about.  "After all," she said," Asian babies tend to have big heads."  ohhhh-kaaaay, but still. I'm worried.  Worst case scenario, there may be fluid in the baby's brain. God, I hope not.

Please keep us in your prayers.  I can't worry about this too much because I don't want to jeopardize my health & thus have it affect the baby.  I hope the dr. is right & he JUST has a big head. 

I'll keep you all updated if there are any changes.
