Today I had my ultrasound to make sure everything was ok and get the clearance to fly to Florida for the month..I took my oldest niece Kalena with me because she wanted to see the babies on the screen..we got up early and headed to the docs and then checked in and went down to the imaging department for the ultrasound before I saw Dr. Hansen.
When i first checked in the tech said "so you're here to check the cysts right?"
Um, what cysts?
"Oh we found some cysts on the babies brains on the last ultrasound, isnt that why youre here?"
Um, no, I never knew anything about any cysts..
She told me to sit tight and then she'd bring me back..can I tell you that was the longest 5 minutes ever..
I didn't know what was going on. Finally we went back and being as nervous as I already get prior to ultrasounds, I was even more nervous and sick to my stomach. I didnt know what she was talking about, when she came in, I asked her to explain what she was talking about and she said there were cysts on the babies brains and we were checking if they were growing. When I asked what happens if they've grown, she said sometimes it can mean there's a chromosome disorder..
.WTF??
Um ok, I was on the verge of tears and she kind of looked at me when I was questiong her like she shouldn't have opened her mouth. When she started scanning the babies I was shaking so bad. My poor niece had no clue what was going on. I asked her if she could just scan their brains first and we started with Baby A..
As she scrolled the baby, I saw the heart fluttering and felt a little better and then when she scanned the brain she showed me that the cysts were gone!!..thank God..she then measured the rest of him and everything looked perfect..
Then, we went to baby B and again, all the anxiety built up again but thankfully, the cysts had dissolved as well and everything looked perfect on him..I was so on edge after that but also at ease. if that makes any sense. Both babies are 1lb 9oz and 10 inches long..they are measuring 24weeks and 4 days so about 5 days ahead of schedule..heart rates were 138 and 147 :)
They weren't very active. I think they were still sleeping. After a good 45 minutes of watching my babies, I met with my doc and told him about the ultrasound and he was so mad the technician had mentioned anything..he said he didn't say anything to me because the cysts didn't concern him and he had figured they would dissolve...stupid tech about made me crap my pants. He cleared me to go to florida..but not as long as I had hoped. I was hoping to come back to Utah on September 21st, but he said that was too long and I needed to be back on the 14th...:( I'll take it though. I'm just happy I got clearance to go. I'll just miss one game on the 18th..other than that everything looked great..we've decided to name them Moni and Ray baby A is Ray and baby B is Moni..Ray is elated. He seriously is so happy, so that makes me happy.
We have been teaching Toa their names and he calls them Way and MoMo..close enough.
They're growing so big..my belly is getting huge. If this pregnancy is anything like Toa's, my stomach got HUMUNGOUS the last few months, and I have a feeling it's going to do just that again.. it's already so heavy. I'm waddling already and I have a hard time sleeping because I'm so uncomfortable. It feels like someone kicked me in the crotch constantly and the pressure feels like I'm 9 months pregnant. I'm measuring almost 35 weeks for a singleton pregnancy, good gracious, I can't imagine how much bigger I'm going to get so I'm hoping they're good size boys so I can take them home with me on time! Its crazy to think theyll be here in 12 to 13 weeks..
We are also so lucky that Ray will be able to be here for the birth :) I love the Dolphins..they told him don't worry about anything and when i'ts time they'll put him on a plane home..that makes me so happy he can be here for a few days! Im so excited to go spend a month together before we become the Feinga 5..
.I know Ray has been lonely and misses Toa, so it will be nice to be together.
I just know I'll be having a hard time when it's time to go back to Utah.
