I'm finally at my own computer now, so I can make a new post!

We did have our ultrasound last Friday, and I do have pictures to post, but not in this post, mainly because my computer doesn't have a CD drive for the disc the images are on, and I haven't gotten around to emailing them from Chris's computer yet.

On Tuesday, just as I was about to leave for work, I got a phone call from my midwife. I knew something wasn't right straight off the bat, because I've seen her for all of this pregnancy as well as Carter's, and in all this time, not once has she ever called me personally. She told me that they had the results from our ultrasound, and that from that ultrasound, there appears to be fluid on the baby's brain. She also said that the facility that did this ultrasound doesn't have the best equipment and also doesn't perform OB ultrasounds very often, so not a lot of experience either. She said there have been many instances where it looks like there's something "wrong" on the ultrasound done there, and they'll refer the mama to a specialist, only to have it turn out to thankfully be nothing, just an error. Hopefully that will be the case for us... We're going up to Dayton tomorrow to see a specialist for a level two ultrasound, and he'll see what's going on and discuss the results with us immediately, so we won't have to wait around worrying too much.

Now, Chris and I have been looking into this (mostly Chris...I freak out every time I try!). As far as we can tell, even if there IS fluid on baby's brain, it shouldn't be too big of a deal. It's not life-threatening. A lot of the time when babies have fluid on their brain, it "cures" itself before birth, and if not, there is a simple surgical procedure which can be done to "fix" it. Essentially, no big deal. We'll deal with whatever happens and do the very best we can for our babies.

So...no ultrasound pictures this post. Potential fluid on brain. Another ultrasound tomorrow to check. More to come later.
