So I said in my last post that I would update about Number Two's "condition" as soon as we had news. Well, we FINALLY got our news today.

Not only did the doctor not bother to come in and see us while we were there like we were told he would, he ALSO didn't even bother to call my OB and let her know the results. I've never actually met him, but I'm already so not impressed with this guy, and I have go back to see him here in a couple of weeks.

So anyway...according to my OB, Number Two has "a touch" of hydrocephalus (don't ask me what exactly she means by "a touch", I mean he/she either has it or not, right?). The precise terminology she used was "an increased lateral ventricle". What, exactly, does all of this mean? Beats me. I have yet to really have it broken down into plain and simple layman's terms. I mean, we already know a bit about this because we looked into it a little when the OB first told us there was possibly something wrong, but to me it's a bunch of medical mumbo-jumbo that just scares the crap out of me.

I'm going back up to Dayton on April 12, and I'll finally get to talk to the doctor himself for a consultation. We'll discuss the condition, and the severity of it in Number Two's case, as well as treatment options, and even whether or not I'll be able to deliver at the local hospital where Carter was born--according to my OB, depending on the severity, they may want to perform the corrective surgery immediately, and our local hospital isn't equipped for that. I'll likely also be getting regular ultrasounds to monitor the situation. With any luck, it will go away on its own before Number Two is born.

Chris will have to work that day, since he's on overtime for a while, and now it's mandatory overtime for his department. So he most likely won't be able to come to the appointment with me, which scares me even more. He really is my rock in times like this, he's so good at calming me down and easing my fears.

For now it's just more of the waiting game.

I didn't intend for this blog to be only or even mainly about Number Two, but for now that's just about all that's really going on in our lives. I'm really hoping for a "first word" post soon though.
