Taylor Update! Appt on 08/06/08. 6ounces@17weeks4days

I had my anatomy appointment where they do a very detailed ultrasound to make sure everything looks good. Over all my little Taylor passed with flying colors. The only thing they noticed was that she has a umbilical chord disorder called SUA (single umbilical artery). Which basically means normally when an umbilical cord develops, it forms three vessels: two arteries and one vein, while little Taylor's only has formed two vessels: one vein and one artery. The most common problem is low birth weight and early delivery. So on the bright side this means that almost every time I go to the doctor I will get an ultrasound scan in order to make sure that Taylor is getting enough of what she needs from her umbilical cord to grow into a healthly little baby and growing at a normal rate...this is usually not an issue until towards the last month of pregnancy when the baby starts needing more food and nutrients. But all that to say I have complete faith that Taylor will be a healthy little baby and according to my doctor she looks completely healthy and she is in the 32%. So keep up the good work little one because mama loves you so... much and prays for you everyday! I can't wait to see you and hold you in my arms!

A side note: Almost every time I get an ultrasound Taylor is sleeping and wants us to leave her alone but on Wednesday we must have caught her during play time because she was kicking, moving her arms, turning, rolling, opening her mouth and I could honestly say it looked like she was waving a couple times it was so...neat to see her moving around like =).

Random side note: Ok so all this time I thought I wanted to go with pink and brown for my nursery colors but I can't find any bedding that I like in those colors, so I've started looking and the more I look the further from pink I move....so we'll see where I end up =). I've seen a lot of cute stuff and I think Danny likes the idea of not going pink too =). I mean if we could find a cute bedding that had pink,brown and a third color to spice it up a bit that would be neat but who knows, weird how your opinion changes when you actually start looking around. I have like 3 that I really like so who knows!!!
