I suck at updating!

I had a fetal heart echo done on 5/11 as a precaution due to the genetic disorder my DS was born with.  Baby boy's heart looks great!  Such a relief.  They did find a cyst by his bowel though, which wasn't there during the A/S.  They had me come back on 6/1 for a follow up u/s.  The cyst is still there, but hasn't grown, so that was good news.  They also confirmed that it's not "communicating" with any organs, which is also good news.  So at this point, we just wait and see.  I will likely have one more u/s before he's born.  If the cyst is still there, then we'll probably have to have it surgically removed.

Other than that, everything is going great.  I'm a little over 25 weeks and still have lots of energy, which has been awesome.  I've been doing stuff around the house and in the yard.  I need to watch my back when I'm working outside, but I've slowly been getting stuff done and it feels good to see an improvement.  I want to take advantage of the energy b/c I know as the summer goes on, I will do less and less.

My next appt is on the 13th and I will have my glucose test.  I'm kind of dreading it.  I'm nervous I'm going to fail it b/c I've been eating SO much sugar.  I've been trying to eat less sugar and I've been semi-successful, but it something I crave all the time.  Ugh.  We shall see.

Here's my baby boy at 22 weeks!
