Hi! I'm Caitlin, wife of James and mama of Maxwell. I am a proud USCG wife, former ballerina, photographer, and retail manager. Being a working mom isn't easy, and this blog gets {seriously} neglected now and then {most of the time}, but I keep up with it when I can.

22 Week Ultrasound

We got to have an extra ultrasound today.  When we went for our 20 week anatomy scan, the ultrasound tech expressed some concern that she couldn't see Maxwell's stomach.  So she had the doctor come in and take a look and she was unable to locate it as well.  She told us that we shouldn't worry, that it was most likely due to him just having emptied his bladder, but just to be sure she wanted to see us back in 2 weeks.  So of course I've been a little on edge the past 2 weeks, but I did a pretty good job trying not to think about it because she said the chance of him having a problem like his esophagus not connecting to his stomach or him not having a stomach was VERY rare.  Thankfully, we were reassured today that he in fact does have a stomach and it was full today.  So everything is normal and progressing as it should be!

  1. That is great that he is going well! Good job on staying somewhat calm, I would have been a nervous wreck. He looks like he is going to be a beautiful and perfect baby!

  2. He's going to eat you out of house and home and that's FANTASTIC news. I agree with Amy, I would have been so nervous! He has grown a lot since even the last ultrasound. Do you think he looks like James?
