24 weeks 3 days

The more pregnant I get the worse I get at writing on this blog. I'll try to do better!

My new favorite pregnancy symptom is getting overheated. There are times that I feel like I'm going to explode I'm so hot. It's like I have a personal heater inside.

We went to the doctor on Tuesday for our regular 24 week check up. The ultrasound technician couldn't see the heart well enough at the last appointment so she wanted to check it again now that Smudgy's a little bigger. The heart looked great, no problems there. There was a white spot below the heart that she wanted checked more closely so she said she was going to take a picture and send it to my doctor. Greg was concerned but I felt pretty calm about it, she didn't seem alarmed at all.

Then we went in for our appointment which happened to be with a midwife this month. She was the absolute worst at being calming. She started talking about cardiologists and specialists. It was the last thing we needed. She made us an appointment with a perinatal specialist but we couldn't go until Thursday. It was the longest 48 hours ever!

We went to see the specialist on Thursday morning. A nurse was doing an ultrasound for the doctor to look at and he came in in the middle of it to tell us that he'd been watching from his office and that everything was fine. We immediately felt better. Turns out that Smudgy has a hemangioma on his liver. Apparently it's very common and doesn't mean anything. He said he sees about one a month. So....yeah! Crisis averted. On the very positive side, we have now had a specialist looking at Smudgy's everything including organs and everything looks great!
