bub bubs.

so we finally got in to see the specialist...

the news wasnt terrible, but not exactly what i was hoping for either. i was truly expecting/hoping that when we had the ultrasound done that they would be telling me that the spot that they thought they had seen before was just due to the baby's position, but the spot is still there, and can apparently be one of two things. 1) pretty much nothing, or 2) a marker for down syndrome which is unlikely for us since we don't have any other signs pointing that way.

of course we hope that the baby doesnt have down syndrome but we opted not to have the amniocentesis because there are risks associated with that and we would keep the baby either way so it doenst make much sense for us to risk it.

other than that the baby is doing well! he was just as stubborn throughout this ultrasound as he has been for the previous so i think we're definitely in for a treat! and hes still hanging out in his favorite breech position, but he has plenty of time to move himself around before the big day, so all that means is that we will have more ultrasounds to check him out which is fine by me. :)

in other news... we have started referring to the little man as 'bub bubs' all because of this silly video my sister (his namesake) made us watch...
