The Adventures of the Vinton Family

Thursday, February 19, 2009

Baby Girl is apparently thriving in her home, we had a sonogram on Monday where they were estimating her to be 7lb, 15 oz, and I'm supposedly only 35 more weeks! That's still a couple more pounds she could gain before my due date of March 22nd. At that sonogram, there was some type of fetal anomoly showing up in her pelvic region, so Billy and I went to the hospital on Tuesday and had a Level II sonogram and met with a perionatologist. It looks like she has some type of ovarian cyst, it's not vascular, and not connected to any organs. All major organs are working just fine. Her head is measuring big (thanks honey!), as is her belly, but they are still proportionate to each other. She is currently measuring more like she's 38 gestaional weeks, instead of 35. In addition, my amniotic fluid index is at 29, which is very high. This explains why (1) I am huge, and (2) I am so uncomfortable.

I have another doctor's appointment on Monday, Feb 23rd where we will come up with a plan regarding delivery options and if/when I will be induced.

We are looking forward to 2009

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! It's hard to believe it's 2009, and the newest member of our family will be here in about 11 weeks. She still doesn't have a name (although it will be kept secret once she has one), but she does have a crib, thanks to Bo & Cody Youngblood. We decided to borrow one, and once Will is ready for big boy furniture, we will move his crib and furniture into her room.

January's home project will be getting her room in order. Billy gets to play with his miter saw by putting up a chair rail, and we are going to paint the upper portion a lighter green than what's in the room now. We'll move the rocking chair from Will's room into the baby's room. My parents gave me the rocking chair that was in my room, and we are contemplating painting it, and putting cushions in it for Will's room.

2008 was a great year for the Vintons! We got into the swing of being parents, found out we're going to be parents again, were able to sell our duplex without any complications, and found a home that we are very comfortable in.

We invite all of you to come and see our new home and visit our family!
