no more "full frontal" :)

Ok...this is for my dad. from now on, the belly shots will be done with my shirt covering my belly. My dad asked me, when I first started putting the belly shots on my blog if I would be doing that through the whole pregnancy. The look on his face told me he didn't think it would be quite as cool as some people think it is. So dad...I will do the rest of them "covered" up. :)

So in my last post I said I was going to the perinatologist on Friday...my appointment was actually today. No, I didn't forget it today, I just had the days mixed up on my last post. So we went bright and early this morning. I had another, longer ultrasound (thank goodness my bladder didn't have to be full for this one!) basically to check the baby's anatomy, etc. Every thing looks great, and right on schedule. (side note...nothing 'fell' off, so I guess we are officially having a boy ;)

So the first thing the doctor said is that he 100% recomended a c-section. This, I was already planning for, so I am really ok with that. He told me that he takes care of many moms that have other serious health problems. (like brain tumors, head bleeds, breast cancer, etc.) He said that it would be his recomendation that I do whatever I need to, to preserve my eye/vision. He said that he didn't think it would be such a problem (at least in this stage of my pregnancy) to get an injection/have surgery if it ment keeping more of my vision. He said that the baby would not be harmed by the medication, and he recommends that I get the shot if I need it. He also said, if we were further along, say 34,35 weeks...it would be a different story and they would probably just deliver the baby and then do the injection.

He is going to send his opinion to the OB doc, and Dr. Jordan (eye doc) and let them both know what he thinks. Now, I am not sure that Dr. Jordan would risk it, in fact, I think he would be VERY hesitant to do it. But just knowing that it would be ok if things got worse, or started affecting my left eye...I do have some options other than just letting my vision go. So all in all, a very good visit!

Totally O.T. we got our car seat/stroller. Man, it's a good thing we both have college degrees, those things are so stinkin hard to put together/figure out. Still haven't figured out the cup holder. Oh well! :)
