Hi Everyone-
Just wanted to update everyone with what's going on...My friend said I do not post enough...Peggy, that is a shoutout to you ;)
I had a doctor appointment last week and when the doctor reviewed the ultrasound, she found a couple things:
1. I have a low level of amniotic fluid (she said it's just a little low) I'm going in again Tuesday for another ultrasound and they'll measure it again.
2. There is a white spot on the baby's heart. The doctor said it's very common in asian babies...sometimes it will go away on its own and sometimes it won't. It can be a marker for down syndrome, but since my down syndrome test came back negative, she said it's very unlikely for it to be DS. Gavin also measured in the normal range, and there were no other markers that could indicate DS. We'll be going to UW Medical Center for an ultrasound. They still have to call me to set that appointment up.
3. Lastly, my placenta is by the cervix. My doctor said in 90% of cases, as you get bigger, the placenta will move up and be fine. So in 10 weeks I'll go back for another ultrasound.
She told me not to worry and they'll keep an eye on Gavin to make sure everything is alright. I believe God will take care of Gavin and he'll be just fine. Please just keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
On to the good stuff. I feel Gavin moving quite a bit :) It's the craziest feeling. I've been able to feel him move for about 2-3 weeks now. He started out a swimmer (just felt like someone swimming inside my belly). Now he's a MMA fighter. It's full on kicks and punches. He cracks me up.
He's still not wanting me to eat the foods I crave!!!!!!!!! I want pizza, french fries, hamburgers, and McDonalds chicken nuggets. Well, anytime I eat that stuff I get REALLY sick...so that's no fun. He does like watermelon and cheese and crackers, so I guess that's nice :)
Well, I think that's it for now! I will post again after I find out the results from my ultrasound.
Please keep Gavin in your prayers. Love and miss everyone!
