Our Little Super Hero!

After I got up this morning I realized that I haven't given an Ezra update so I decided I should, and let everyone know our averted crisis we just had this past month.

Well... we had our first ultra sound on the 3rd of January and he wouldn't cooperate so we could look at his spine and kidney's, so my doctor's nurse called me on the 10th I believe it was, (it's all a blur) and told me that they were sending me to a perinatal to get a second more detailed ultra sound since they needed more pictures of the kidney's and spine. Than she proceeds to tell me that the baby has a chroplexius cyst (I am not quite sure on the spelling bare with me) on one of his kidneys. Exactly what you are thinking, what the heck and oh no, a moms worse nightmare!

Any ways... after the nurse told me this information I started crying. Very hard emotional day, we were an hour away from Portland where we attended Dave's grandpa's funeral... great timing. So I continued to cry and keep it under control so the nurse couldn't tell and she said she was going to make the appointment and call me back. I got off the phone told Dave everything, and what does he do, he makes sure I am ok, If anyone knows how excited Dave is to have Ezra well double that... he was very concerned, as any parent would be. He of course was thinking positive as always, and we waited for her to call us back. When she did I finally asked her, now what is it again. She said a cyst on the kidney...

Well my ultra sound was the 25, so I had to wait 15 days... talk about torture. That was ok, I kept myself busy with New Beginnings, it was a great distraction. Well, So I go in on the 25th and get this very detailed ultra sound. She spent a lot of time looking at the brain, I thought that was weird but figured just wanted to make sure, and she copied off so many pictures for me. His legs, arms well everything looks good. Than she went and got her boss and Susan came in and told me that the chroplexius cyst on the BRAIN was gone. Ok, yeah I am very very blessed I didn't know it was actually on the brain to start with. Talk about a tender mercy of the Lord. I was scared when it was on the kidney but when it was really on the brain, that's so scary. She said it was gone and told me that everything else looks fantastic. She than told me about what the cyst would have meant, and she said that it's a sign of down syndrome, and that even if he had it wouldn't mean that he would be down syndrome, but she said he looks great.

Before I went into this appointment I had looked up cyst on the kidney's and everyone on this forum I read said that most babies get cysts in all different places, and they usually resolve themselves, it's still scary but Dave said, well if it's that bad they can take a kidney out... well as I said earlier crisis averted. Our loving Ezra wouldn't have been any different no matter what the ultra sound said, but with our lives being so crazy for the next 2 years while Dave is in school, having Ezra wasn't even in the books when we moved to Cheney, but the Lord has different plans sometimes and as it turns out, me and Dave are very faithful and we know that no matter what we will be blessed. We are blessed every day by our children and our happiness. I try and soak up these days because in a blink of an eye my kids will be grown up and leaving me.

I made that sign yesterday his room is going to be decorated in random Super Hero stuff, Superman, Spiderman etc, and after this ordeal he already is our little Super Hero! I heard his heart again this week and I am weighing in at 156 and he is measuring 2 centimeters more than normal, so maybe just maybe I will actually go into labor with out medicine with him, doesn't matter, I am just very excited to have him, and love when I feel his kicks and hear his heart beat, he is going to be amazing!
