Baby Update

Last week we had another visit to this high risk ob office. 
We had the sono and echo of baby's heart and then met with the Dr.
The calcifications still showed up in the liver and had not changed in number or size. They also showed up in the bowel again, although in the third trimester that is considered a relatively normal finding. So from here on out we will be focusing on the spots in the liver.
Baby's heart and brain still looked clear and absolutely normal.
Baby measured in the 32nd percentile which is perfect for my size. They also want to continue to closely moniter head circumference. I guess if it starts to not grow proportionately with the baby then there would be a concern that the brain was not developing. Baby's head circumference was measuring perfect last week. 
After consulting with the Dr and all of the negative test results we got, Negative on downs syndrome, trisomy 13 and trisomy 18. And negative for cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis and parvoviurs, we were given a much more positive potential outcome. They said that we have ruled out the major things that these calcifications usually show up in. She did say there could be a chance that it may be something extremely rare but it would be just that, a very rare chance. 
So my heart is able to rest a bit easier knowing that our sweet baby is growing on track and nothing new has developed. It is such a blessing to get to see this sweet little baby on the sono every 4 weeks and my heart is overflowing with love already. 
We will go back the second week of March for another sono and echo and growth check. 
As of right now baby is moving around like crazy and those little kicks and rolls fill my heart with such joy. Never have I appreciated them more. 
So right now we will rejoice in the positive. My prayer is for peace for myself and Josh and that we are able to use this story (however it ends up) to glorify our creator.
