Even if I do spend more time on Sorority Life (not Farmville) than any healthy person should.
Well, our little girl is doing fine! After two visits to the perinatal specialist, we received 9 ultrasounds (3 face, 6 various-heart, spine, arm covering face)and the reassurance that all organs are fine, the cyst is regressing, and there is no reason to think we will have anything other than a healthy baby. They did offer to do an amniocentesis to double check for any chromosomal abnormalities, but the risk of that was bigger than the risk of Downs or Trisomy 18, and what difference would it make? So I can be a bigger, stressful, neurotic wreck than I already am? F**k that noise. We declined, and from what I feel she is not only healthy, but possibly going to be an athlete.
I've had 2 baby showers thrown for me in the past week. One by two of my girlfriends from college, and one by my friends from work. We have sooo many baby things and I just feel really lucky and blessed. I have a wonderful social group here and even though I have so many wonderful friends in Florida, who I've known for ten years or more, I am really going to miss my friends here.
Lastly, we have been simultaneously trying to pack and get ready for this weekend's yard sale. Also, dog sitting Max again for a couple of days. Hence, the house is crowded and messy. Hopefully, that'll change when we get some of these items moved, but since we are also selling furniture, it'll probably be even crazier.
I finally did a writing assignment tonight. That has to be the longest I've gone since starting the freelancing. And with no other income, that is unacceptable. Trying to get back on track is hard, but important.

Don't Panic :)
Oooo I absolutely love Douglas Adams.
Today is another appointment at the doctor's. Our original plan was to try and get another ultrasound. Turns out, they don't have the tech there on Thursdays at 10:30 am.
That is really inconsequential now. Late yesterday afternoon I received a call from our main OB doctor. She said while looking over the ultrasounds, she noticed our baby had a choroid plexus cyst. So now, in addition to our regularly scheduled visit, she also has a specialist for us. When we go in, she'll go over it more, and we can set up an appointment.
It's a little stressful because I did some reading on the subject, and it all reads the same: CPCs are either nothing to worry about, or they're an indication of something really serious, as in physically, or even result in stillborn. Hence the title for today's blog. Al just keeps telling me that there's no point in worrying until we hear from the professionals, and try to keep upbeat, and I'm trying to do that.
