We had another high level sonogram of Whitten last Tuesday to check on his sweet little brain! Everything looks awesome. When the ventricles are dilated to 1 cm, it is considered mild ventriculomegaly. I really don't know what that means, and I don't think the doc's have an explanation for it either...other than the fact that technology is so amazing now that they can see EVERYTHING!!! Obviously there has to be an "average" for different measurements, and it seems that they are finding more and more variations for what is considered an "average" measurement in some cases. If you ask me, this is one those cases! Anyway, Whitten's problem ventricle (left)has actually decreased in size!! It is now measuring .7 cm, which is not even boarderline anymore. Everything looks "beautiful" was the doctors response during the sonogram. BUT he said he still wants to see us every week until Whitt is born. WHAT!?! We are so thankful for great docs, but seriously!!! Of course we wouldn't hesitate for one second if we felt it was neccessary to pay another $1200 to our sonographer to make sure our sweet boy is healthy, but this seems a little overboard. I talked to my regular ob the next day, and he kind of seemed to think the same thing. So, we will see!
Big boy seems to be leveling out since the last sonogram 5 weeks ago. He was measuring a week a head, and now he's measuring right on track! But I think I'm still going to tell people he's measuring ahead....because I'm so stinkin' big! I'm for SURE as big or bigger than I was when I was full term with Coop! And we have about 5 1/2 weeks left! Mom and I think he may try to come early...or maybe that's just wishful thinking! Being big and pregnant in this crazy hot summer has been pretty eventful...umm, non-eventful might be a better word! It's just too hot to do anything!
So, for now we are excited for this great news! We sure are ready to meet Whitt-Bit!
