Jessica,
congratulations! I hope and pray that every thing goes well for you
and your baby(lima bean). I like that nick name. With my little jelly
bean when they did the ulta sound I was only 8 weeks and 2 days. All
they could see for the head was that it was starting to curve the
full skull and brain had not finnished developing. From what I know
the skull and brain are sill developing. My dr said that I will not
need a nother ultra sound till I am 16-20 weeks. I would like one
every time till I know that the baby is not anencephaly. I pray every
night that jelly bean will be fine. I will pray for you and your lima
bean that evry thing goes well.

Leo's mom Molly

was today. We did do an ultrasound, because I have PCOS as well as
everything else going on, so the only way to tell how far along I am
is through an ultrasound. My little lima bean was to small to see
anything really, except for a strong heartbeat. My doctor told me
that the chances of this baby having anencephaly were accutally lower
then the chance Faith had. It helps that I have had a healthy child
before I lost Faith. I was told that its a 1 in 100 chance to have
another baby with it. Taking the 4mg of FA reduced that chance by
75%, leaving a .25% chance of the baby having it. I know its a tiny
number, but I still worry. I'm being sent to a speaclist at 12 ( I'm
7weeks right now.) for a full Level 2 ultrasound to check everything
they can. Heres to two healthy babies come April and May next year!
