No Change!

So today I had my last internal ultrasound – and all is good. Yippee!

Noddy is growing extremely well – already an estimated 4lbs 15 oz – less than one pound shy of Jemima’s final birth weight. With somewhere between 5 and 7 weeks to go ‘ouch’ is the word that springs to mind.

On the downside, still no change on the size of the cyst but I reviewed my genetic results with the doctors and they remain very unconcerned.  My risk of Downs Syndrome is 1 in 1,663 and the risk of Trisomy 18/13 is 1 in 9,161 – the two chromosomal disorders normally associated with choriod plexus cysts. I’m feeling somewhat relieved for the time being.

Next stop as far as trips to the specialist is concerned is on 8/24 for growth scan and cerclage removal!

So, upon hearing all is fine, and being told not to worry about pressure, or even contractions so much anymore, I took myself off to Babies R Us – something I’ve been longing to do for months.  The good news is that I was remarkably restrained and other than boring necessities came away with nothing.   Knowing Noddy already has a well stocked wardrobe, albeit it mainly white and 2nd hand at best, I left all the adorable little outfits in the store.

Tomorrow I’m going to hit the grocery store – I’m fed up with online shopping. And next week I may even brave Costco.

In the meantime, a busy morning has left me exhausted so I’m settling on to the sofa to watch Nights in Rodante.
