Re: Sunday Randoms
We have to go to church today, and then I'm really hoping for some mama time. I want to go to kohls, and I want/need/deserve a nap.
Also LO is waking up soaking wet -- all three layers -- every morning. We even went up to size 3 diapers for night, and this morning was the worst yet. We've been using a pack of target diapers the past few night. I think tonight we'll switch back to Pampers to see what happens.
With DS2, we put a cloth diaper cover over a sposie to catch any leaks. Probably cheaper than the two-diaper option.
LO has a choroid plexus cyst on his brain with OB said is fairly common and usually resolves on its own, but they are offering me the MarteniT21 test to check for any chromosomal abnormalities. There have been no other indicators to make them believe that is the case but they want me to take the test anyway.
They also saw something called an amniotic band. It's when part of the cervix fuses together and forms threads or a sheet that the baby could possible get tangled in. However the OB didn't seem to concerned and said the baby is large enough at this point where it would not cause any damage.
I am going back in three weeks to see if these issues have resolved.
Lastly, I've had TWO indeterminate TB tests. The OB left the decision up to me whether or not I want to have a chest X-ray done but he suggested wating until after the baby is born. I spoke to an infectious disease specialist and he seems to think I was exposed at some point but since I am not exhibiting any symptoms it's best to leave it alone for now. If I want a chest X-ray after I give birth we can discuss the option then.
Other than that mess of information everything is else fine. Trying not to stress about anything until blood test results and follow up ultrasound in a few weeks.
Eta if you need more support or have specific questions, please don't hesitate to start a new thread. We're here for you mama!
Daylight savings was too bad for us. A woke up at 12 but was able to fall back to sleep cuddling with his little stuffed monkey, Walter. He woke up at 5 - his usual wake up is around 6-6:30 so I just brought him to my bed and we slept for another hour before getting up for the day. It may be time for a nap now he's getting a little cranky!
We're stuck inside most of the day. NYC Marathon is today and they run right down our street so we will be watching from our windows!
The flu has hit our house. DH, DS1 and I have it. My SIL picked up DS2 and DD so hopefully they don't get it.
DS1 threw up all over the bed and it soaked through the waterproof matress pad and on to the mattress. Anyone have any tips on how to save the mattress? TIA
DD woke at her normal time which is now too early. I hope she adjusts soon, otherwise i won't be getting my morning quiet time before work.
@kella0708 I'm glad your doc has calmed you. T&Ps that your next appt goes well.
I'm also upset that DH is getting an extra coffee.
I'm hoping the snow will start soon. It has been odd that Halloween came and went and there's been no snow. I'm ready!
I hope everyone have a great Sunday!
I'm so happy to have time to contribute to the board again. I hope I can keep it up! Stupid work.
I just deposited LO in the jumperoo. Maybe he'll jump himself to sleep.
I know you're supposed to do whatever while they nap but can we just not today?
