The Beginning
We my husband and I had been married 6 weeks when we first "tried" getting pregnant. Little did we know we were so fertile :-) On November 29th we found out we were pregnant. First month trying. We felt so blessed to have the ability to get pregnant and have a child. My mom and dad were in the process of adoption when they got pregnant with me.
The Waiting
Since we found out so early I waited patiently every day for that morning sickness to come. By week 9 still felt nothing and started to realize I probably wasnt going to get it. YEAH I was most worried about my AFP test. I am not sure why but it was something that just concerned me. I was totally releived when it came back negative and the lowest I could have scored 1 in 10,000. I never knew it would be the ultrasound I had to worry about.
The Ventricles
It was an awful day, the day we had our scan. They wouldnt let my huisband in the room with me until after most of the ultrasound was done. The tech wasnt very nice and it started to worry me, all his different expressions. He finally said I could go out get my husband and try to get the baby to wake up so we could finish the scan. He said just come back in whenever. TAKE YOU TIME, he said. That was weird to hear. I knew we were in a medical facilty with time limits on appointments. As we waited for almost 30 minutes I looked at my husband and said somethings not right. When the tech finally came back the radiologist was with him. I looked at he doctor with fear and asked whats wrong. He brought us back into the room and said "SO FAR the is one MAJOR ABNORMALITY with his BRAIN." I started to cry and freak out. I wanted to know more. Will he live? Will he be impaired? Is he ok? Crying and begging for answers the jerk said to me, "You know what I really need to just oay attention to the rest of the scan. We still have to see his heart and finad all his legs, arms, hands and feet." I laid there for thirty minutes crying while they finished. Even after he was inaccurate in telling me what was going on. Since then the outcome has been much more positive. We see a geneticist about evry 4-6 weeks. Baby Parker has remained stable and everything else is perfect. We continue to pray daily he will be ok at delivery. With a 90% chance all will be perfect we hope for the best. I am 30 weeks pregnant when I am writing this. All we do now is wait.
The Last Ultrasound
We went in on June 11th for our last ultrasound!!!! Baby Parekrs ventricles shruck from 12 down to 8. The doctors believes it is just how he developed and all will be well. Everything else looks PERFECT!! I cant beleive what a miracle God has blessed us with by healing our baby boy!

Those birth stories are always great to tell, LOL. I felt so proud of myself at the time, I hope you will have the same experience. I have to go to hospital this time, as they want to examine the baby when it is born. So hopefully I'll be on time. The baby hasn't turned yet, so it might even be a C-section this time.... A few months ago someone had her baby in the car, they had to close down the motorway!!! We'll at least everyone knows the baby is born LOL.
mariska - Saturday, 14 June
That's really sweet! And I am happy that now you enjoy the "normal" pregancy worries LOL such as delivery. I hope you will have just one like my first one. I had my baby at home (I do not think this is very common in the states) and our midwife was almost too late, as it all went very quickly. In the afternoon I was already up and chating downstairs on a "normal" chair with visitors.
Nov-mommy - Saturday, 14 June
Thats amazing news I'm so happy to hear that. I was praying for you as well! So how are you feeling?
mariska - Friday, 13 June
PERFECT!!!! really good news and now finally you can enjoy the remaining weeks. And that's man for you LOL always wanting attention. Has your baby turned? Mine not yet.....Againg enjoy and I am soooooooooo happy for you. Do you need more u/s or was this the last one? Don't forget to keep us posted.
kyliecogger - Friday, 13 June
That is fantastic- I bet you are breathing a whole lot easier. I am so happy for you. Now lets pray that everyone else gets the same good news. Keep me posted and take care. a
mariska - Thursday, 12 June
Hi there, are you ok?
kyliecogger - Thursday, 12 June
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
mariska - Wednesday, 11 June
Good luck, don't be nervous!! I'll be thinking of you.
Nov-mommy - Wednesday, 11 June
sorry it be awhile since i last responded, my aunt passed away. So i haven’t been on here much. How is your pregnancy going?
mariska - Wednesday, 11 June
I was so relieved it did not go up tremendously, the doctor was really relaxed and realistic as well. We are still not out of the woods, but we should not be really concerned either. Again they just do not know......I was really bad yesterday LOL I nearly fainted when we had to go in, but really it is not necessary!! My heart beat was so fast the dr. almost could not do the scan. So I said I'm so sorry.....to which the doctor said he fully understood my reaction and I was not doing it on purpose so there was no need to apologize, it was only then I calmed down, I am just a bit weird ;))Hope you are a lot tougher than me!! Keep strong and hope you will be getting some really good news!! Will be thinking of you!
kyliecogger - Wednesday, 11 June
This is my second, but your experience with the ultrasound people completely mirrored mine- they were horrible. I am also 26. Do you know what you are having? I am having a boy.
mariska - Tuesday, 10 June
Thanks for your support!! I have just updated the board. We ofcourse had hoped we would be below 10, but measurements have not gone up dramaticaly (12.4mm now at 29 weeks) and the brain is developping properly. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and hope you will get really good news!! I was really nervous and I could hardly breath.....but it wasn't necessary as no one was really worried, only me ;)). So hopefully this will help you a little bit 2morrow. Good luck and pls let me know how it went!

I actually do not care for my MIL either, but deep down even if her and my hubby are not close, it still matters. Family is family and you do not have to like all, but it is good to have them good and bad. Take care!
Grace33 - Tuesday, 10 June
As far as the MIL ? You probably will not care as far as comfort as much as you think. You will be going through so much, you will be distracted. Since you have your mom and sis, might be nice for your hubby to have support as well. It might be kind of special for him to have her there. Just a thought....
kyliecogger - Tuesday, 10 June
Hi you and I have a lot in common- both 26 and had an arse do the ultrasound. I was sent away twice with no explanation and when I returned the third time the specialist was with him. What were the measurements for you? were they unilateral or bilateral? My baby's were 10.2 but I only have one measurement but was told it was bilateral. When I saw my doctor he said that I was on the high end of normal but was not concerned. I had a nuchal translucency test at 13 weeks which put me in 1 in 34 000 for downs and 1 in 18 000 for the other one. Did you end up doing an amnio?
mariska - Sunday, 8 June
We feel exactly the seem and hoping that we will have nothing else but good news this tuesday ;)). Hiccups are so cute :) my first born had that all the time. I must say this litlle one is active only a few times a day. Up to a good week for the both of us!!
cyndrn - Saturday, 7 June
You are very welcome! Also, it can give you the heads up you might need to start him out with occupational,speech..ect therapy BEFORE he gets behind. I know I will be doing that for my new son. My 16yr old was in Easter Seals. They are the BEST!!
mariska - Thursday, 5 June
I'm first on the 10th!! Hope it will have decreased (who wouldn't....), hopefully that would help you somewhat the 11th ;)). Carolinee was up for an u/s today, haven't heard from her in 10 days, hope all is well with her as well.
mariska - Wednesday, 4 June
when do you have your next u/s?
Kikiea - Wednesday, 4 June
I was induced at 39 weeks for medical reasons. It was great and I would absolultely do it again! This was my first child and so I don't know if it's more painful.. but I will say that I had an epidural.. and that was also fabulous! They gave me the cervadil the night before and took it out first thing the next morning. As I stood up to go to the bathroom my water broke on its own and labor started... I took a shower and then was taken over to my L&D room where I breathed through contractions for about 2 hours until I could get the epi. I fully enjoyed my labor and delivery.. we sat around watching TV and napping just waiting for my body to do it's work... when I was finally at 10 cms.. I pushed for 45 minutes and out he came.. SCREAMING! LOL - He was here and wanted everyone to know it! It was fabulous... I'm telling you this because there are a lot of scary stories about being induced... but mine is not one of them. I agreed to induction because I figured I'd rather end up with an emergency c-section than risk my condition worsening... Good luck with your decision.. and feel to write me if you have questions!
mariska - Wednesday, 4 June
I am exactly the same about getting to know other experiences. I hope that everyone's baby turn out fine (meaning be able to enjoy live, play etc.). It is your first born, isn't it? Which probably makes it harder in some way (says a really freaked out me ;) ) We'll be thinking of you and will keep you posted from my side as well.
cjmc2577 - Wednesday, 4 June
i read your post about inducing i had to be induced for my other two kids and most likely again if i dont go before 38 weeks.
mariska - Monday, 2 June
our little one has measurements at 21+ weeks at 10.7 and at 22 weeks between 9.8 -11.3 (all measured on one day....) and at 24+ weeks it was between 11.3 and 11.8mm. Bloodresults and amnio were fine (1 little thing, but that has been tackled already). We are hoping that like others the measurements will start decreasing in the 3rd trimester. We have our u/s 10 june.....scary. By hearing all the stories I feel quite relaxed now. Pls let me know how yours went and good luck ofcourse.
