We are still having a girl!  Yay!  It also revealed that the baby has a “single umbilical artery” defect, which is most likely nothing, but of course, could lead to a billion other things too.  I’m not too terribly worried about it as long as my doctor keeps me monitored with ultrasounds and NST’s after 30 weeks.  Babies are supposed to have an umbilical cord that has 2 arteries and one vein, but instead this one has 1 artery and one vein.  It occurs in 1% of all pregnancies, so the odds should have been in my favor, but this time I’m that 1%.

I have to keep reiterating how much Wyandotte Hospital sucks donkey ass.  I had my appointment with Dr. Borke’s perinatology clinic for the level 2 ultrasound.  He has gone to sharing an office with other outpatient things, and the ultrasound tech was less than friendly.  I am so glad I am not having this child there!!!  His ultrasound machine was sub-par.  The images were blurry, and the television screen you watch it on was blurry and blocky looking.  I am SOOO glad I got my ultrasound last week.  The images can’t even compare.  If I had to of relied on what I got today, I would have come out of there extraordinarly disappointed.  It didn’t used to be like this.  It used to be a very nice, quiet office.  I’ve had numerous ultrasounds with him, as well as amnio’s!

Anyhow, i’ll find out eventually that hopefully everything measured ok.  The tech said the artery was the only concern, but of course, they can’t tell you everything.  Hopefully my doc will have the results by time my appointment comes, two weeks from today.
