Pregnancy Update 21 weeks

I had my 21 week appointment today. Everything is still going great. I did have a little scare while I was at Disney World. My doctor called me personally (never a good sign) to tell me they found something on my ultrasound. They found a Choroid plexus cyst on the baby's brain. Apparently it can be a marker for some chromosone issues. My doctor told me that everything else looked PERFECT on the ultrasound and she doubts anything is actually wrong, but they want to be sure. So the day after I got back I went to see a specialtist and had a level 2 ultrasound. The cyst must have shrunk (which I was told it might or even disappear) because it wasn't something the specialist gave any real concern. I was told again that they are definitly sure it is a girl. After I was told everything is fine (I was given a less than .5-1% chance that it could lead to something) I was able to enjoy the new ultrasound. The baby was yawning which I had never seen that before. She was also grabbing her toes with her fingers. I thought it was cute.

Today's appointment was uneventful. I guess they probably will be until I get towards the end. I am still measuring 1 week ahead. Nothing else to report. So I guess this was very boring to read people - sorry!

Glad to hear that the scare turned out to be nothing terribly serious. Hope everything continues to go smoothly for you & the little one!

By the way, those pics make me want to go to a Disney resort, and I don't even have kids. It looks like it was an awesome vacation!
