    Another Sonogram

    October 25, 2011 /

    We just got back from the hospital. We had another sonogram. This time it was a BPP.  It was meant to check the health of the baby in light of all of the recent issues we have been having.

    We found out that Philomena is now 5 lbs. 9 oz. A good size for a growing baby! Also, the amniotic fluid continues to be in plentiful supply. As a matter of fact the measurement has increased each time it has been taken the last three days.

    Apparently, everything is fine. Still no definitive explanation of the leaking.  The outlook right now is to watch everything and see what happens. If the pattern persists as it has been it will be business as usual. If there are changes then we will have to investigate further. But as of now there is plenty of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby and she is doing well.

    We have an appointment with the OB tomorrow which was regularly scheduled. Any news we get I will post.

    Hopefully we can both get some sleep tonight.

    Another Late Night at the Hospital

    October 24, 2011 /

    We arrived home late from the hospital again. This time we spent about three or four hours in a hospital room getting the same tests done as we did last night.

    We found out that there is more amniotic fluid now than there was yesterday. Also the tests for leakage keep coming up negative.

    As you can imagine, it is very frustrating not to have many answers. We are going for sonogram tomorrow which will hopefully check on the health of Philomena. We think that she is fine and all indications are that that’s the case.

    More 3D Pictures

    September 30, 2011 /

    Kristi and I went back to Baby’s First Appearance in Port Jeff to get a retake on the 3D pictures from last weekend.  The ones from last week left a bit to be desired.  There are some super cute ones here, though.  Hands and feet and lips, oh my!

    Total Vanity

    July 29, 2011 /

    OK.  So out of vanity, we went and had a few sonograms done at this place out in Port Jeff that does sonograms for a fee.  It was partly inspired by the total lack of pictures from the prior appointment.  Anyway, check out the 16 pictures we got, including a 3D one.  The 3D is a little creepy, but interesting in that you can start to make out resemblances.

    Final Sonogram

    July 7, 2011 /

    We were at North Shore LIJ again today for a scheduled sonogram and comprehensive checkup.  There were about 80 pictures taken during the scan of which we received 4.  Quite a let down.  While the results of the checkup were good, it was a real let down to get only the pictures below out of it.

    Anyhow, enjoy.

    Oh….  by the way…  IT’S A GIRL!  Philomena Aurelia Gianutsos is expected on 11/20/2011.

    Ultra Scan

    May 11, 2011 /

    At least that’s what I think it’s called…  We and Granny Franny were at North Shore LIJ hospital today for the big diagnostic test which will apparently detect whether baby g has any chromosomal drama going on.  Evidently, things look positive, but we’ll find out in a week or so.

    In the mean time, here are a few new pictures.
