Not so great news..



Ok...so before I start I want to talk about my ultrasound pictures. The top two are in 3d and you can see Camryn's face and you can already tell she has her Daddy's big lips :) If you look at the third pic down you will see our little sunshine shooting us the finger...my guess is she really wanted to be left alone. The last picture is just the profile of her face. Now, on to the less exciting news. Friday the 18th, Andy and I went to the doctor for a normal check up and our doctor had us get an ultrasound to make sure my fluid levels were good. After our ultrasound we went in to see the doctor, which I actually saw the midwife that appointment because Dr. White was out of town. When she came in she told us that the ultrasound tech had found that our baby had an echogenic bowel which is a bright white spot in her large intestine. Of course like any normal parents would do...we got worried and started asking her questions. She just kept saying we don't know anything we will have to send you to a specialist. So we got an appointment set up for Wednesday the 23rd with Dr. Kirshon at Houston Perinatal Associates who specializes in high risk pregnancies. So yesterday we went and saw him and he looked at little Camryn and said that there is definitely an echogenic bowel which he basically explained is calcified meconium. He told us that there is a 10% chance she has cystic fibrosis, a small chance that it could be a bowel blockage and she would have to have part of her intestine removed when she is born and she would have to wear a bag to use the restroom in, and there is a 70 to 80% chance that it could end up being nothing. I know that 70 to 80% chance of it being nothing is awesome but I just cant stop thinking about that 10% chance. It has been kind of hard on me but Andy is helping me keep my head up. Of course I have been making the biggest mistake ever by reading online about everything we have found out and I just scare myself more. Nothing will be known for sure about little Camie's condition until she is born but we are praying for the best. We go back next Wednesday to both doctors and we will find out if it has gotten better, worse, or has stayed the same, once we know this then the percentages may change. To those of you who have called me in the past few days...I most likely haven't returned your calls and I am very sorry for that and hope you can understand. I appreciate everyone's concern but it is just hard for me to continually explain it multiple times when all it does is make me cry and worry. I am trying to keep my mind off of it because nothing can be done to change it we will just have to wait and see. Please keep our daughter in your prayers. Thanks!

And we're waiting and waiting and waiting.....

So not much has changed at all. We had another appointment with Dr White and Camryn's heartbeat was 156. Much higher than usual but nothing at all to worrry about. Now it has all become a waiting game. I feel like the weeks are passing so slowly now, its ridiculous! We offically have everything ready for her arrival. There is not one thing I would be worried about if she came in the next couple of weeks. Ok moving on...Andy's friends threw him a guys baby shower and it was called "Pistols and Pampers" All his buddies went out to his friend Billy's house and shot guns and enjoyed themselves. Each guest brought a box of pampers for Camryn so a big thanks to everyone who was a part of it. Camryn really appreciates Andy's friends because she now has a place to poo :) I look awful but wanted the out of towners to see my big belly!
