IT'S A GIRL~IT'S A GIRL~IT'S A GIRL~IT'S A GIRL~IT'S A GIRL~IT'S A GIRL

We had our 20 week ultrasound, and here SHE is...these images are sometimes tough to make out, but this is a side profile, and she is facing to the left

and SHE has a name...

ADDISON KATHLEEN CAIAZZO

At the ultrasound, things looked good, however they did find that she has what is known as "single umbilical artery." We will be going in every 2-3 weeks for ultrasounds to monitor her growth because of this. Normally an umbilical cord has two arteries and one vein...she has one artery and one vein. This could be completely ok and not cause any problems, or there could be development issues/cardiac issues. The good thing is they spotted it now, and can monitor her closely. My bloodwork came back normal, and the rest of the ultrasound looked great. She is right where she wants to be in terms of weight...keep us in your thoughts!!

Our next ultrasound will be this Thursday...will post again after that.

Hello!!



Thought this would be a good way for people to stay updated on how we are ALL doing. Can't believe we are 20 weeks along! This photo is of Baby Caiazzo at 8 weeks...notice the halo?
The first trimester was interesting...early on, I felt fabulous. I thought pregnancy was a breeze...until I started having the nausea and vomiting. Also, we found out early on that there had been another sac-yes, that's right...twins they believe. It was pretty amazing to hear that we could have had two on the way. However, for whatever reason, the second embryo didn't make it, and so we have the one bambino growing strong...
