i've always been the journaling type, and can type much faster than i write, so we thought it was time to join the blogger world, especially since we now have a little something to share with our friends and family!
we're so excited to have eli here! it's been a roller coaster of a few days...i'll include the short version. wednesday, i had a doctor's appointment with an ultrasound since i was measuring so large. the ultrasound showed a complex mass of a significant size (10cm) on my right ovary, causing the doctor some concern. she consulted with an oncologist and scheduled a c-section for thursday afternoon. they planned to take out the mass at the same time the baby was delivered. we were scared, but very happy with this plan of action...i've been saying for some time that he would be joining us in 2007! (his due date was 1/1/08) eli arrived safe and sound - very healthy little boy! and the good news continued - the mass was not attached to my ovary, as we'd thought. the mass was actually a large fibroid attached to my uterus, which they removed with no problems. they will be testing the mass, but the outlook is much more hopeful!
pictures will have to come later...i'm figuring this out, one step at a time. thanks for reading!
