Graham Stories and 20 Week Ultrasound

I haven't taken many pictures of Graham this week, but I do have some funny stories. About a week ago Graham was being very quiet in the room beside me. I asked, 'Graham, what are you doing?' He said, 'pulling Sissy's (Maggie's) tail!' Sure enough when I went in the room he was pulling Maggie's tail! I love a child's honesty. And I love Maggie's patience!

A few days later Graham and I were getting into the car. I strapped Graham in his carseat, walked around the car and got into my seat. As soon as I sat down to buckle my seatbelt Graham said, 'hit the road Hope-ah!' I realized then that I always ask Graham that question before we back out of the driveway.

This past week marked the half way mark in the pregnancy. We did our 20 week ultrasound and the doctor saw bilateral choroid plexus cysts (cysts in the brain). She said that it may be nothing, but recommended that we see a specialist since these can be markers for chromosomal issues. Luckily, we were able to get an appointment with the specialist the next day. He repeated the ultrasound and quickly told us we had nothing to worry about. He said that he did see the cysts, but all other anatomy looked completely normal. This was a welcomed report after a long 24 hours of worry!





We have also changed Baby Green's name...We are now thinking BRYSON ANDREW GREEN. We still like the name Connor, but it didn't feel right for this baby. We will let you know if this is still the name next week!
