Level II Ultrasound

We had our level II ultrasound and meeting with the genetic counselor today.
STILL a boy! =)
And they found no indications of any issues!! Woooo Hooo!!
They did suggest that we do the quad screen – we passed on this with the girls. We are going to do it, but since the ultrasound came back perfect I’m [...]

We know the gender!!!

It’s a BOY!!!
I can’t believe it. I made them check several times. I was SO sure it was a girl.
We’re so excited. =)
He is so cute! He has a big nose. Eeeee. I love it.
For some reason I can’t get my scanner to work, but I’ll try to post ultrasound pics when I can.

Quite the Pickle

I have to keep reminding myself that I was only trying for ONE baby and that this isn’t my fault.
Cause it’s embarrassing ya know.
Being an almost 30, almost college graduate, married, with THREE kids in less than two years, living at home and unable to afford day care.
I just can’t figure out how the heck [...]

It’s about time…

…that something went my way!
I had my OB appointment with Dr Scary on Friday. And she was anything but!
Those online reviews had me so freaked out that I made Hubby go with me. I went in armed with a list of questions that I was not going to leave until I had answered, and a [...]

Damn.

I was right.
The doctor today said that she is 80% sure that Lennon has Metopic Cranio and is sending her for a CT (which she will have to be sedated and intubated for) and a consult with a neuro surgeon before booking her for OPEN BRAIN SURGERY.
Um, fuck?
Cause we really needed something else.
Really.

Freak out equals…(updated- twice)

On a whim I checked Craig’s List today and found a 3 bdrm condo listed for $1150 in Riverside. It has hardwood floors. And a yard. And it’s huge. And beautiful. And not even in the ghetto.
So I applied for it.
My stomach hurts.
I have no idea how we would make it work – I think [...]

The good, the bad, and the…well…usual.

Earlier in the week I decided to google the doctor that I have been assigned to at my new hospital. This is what I found. There was also one review on another site that simply said “She lacks basic human compassion and empathy”. Um. Crap?
When I read this I immediately called over there and asked [...]

Ahhhh Freak Out! (think “old disco song”)

I haven’t been blogging lately and surprisingly, it’s not because I have nothing to say. It’s because I have way too much to say. I’m overwhelmed and I don’t know where to start.
Bullet points perhaps?
* Hubby is on the transplant list again. Last time he was on it  (this time last year) we were told that [...]
