Week 20 was a great one! The only discomfort I felt was mild tail-bone pain which has been steady thru the pregnancy anyways. We had our follow-up appointment for the Cysts on baby's brain that were found at our last ultrasound. There was 1 on each side of his brain before. As of Thursday, the one on the left was completely gone! I had more blood work done, and that all came back normal! We also met with a genetic counselor, who said that nothing in our genetic history will negatively affect our baby boy's development. After the Nuero ultrasound, they found out that the cyst on the right side of his brain is still there, but the Dr. assured us that it WILL go away. It can't be predicted when, but it will go away, and it won't affect any development until it does. I'll feel 100% happy once the one on the right is gone, but I am so relieved at the good news, and am no longer worried. We have our next appointment for a brain scan in 7 weeks. I'm confident we'll get good news then :-)

Maternity clothes? Wearing maternity pants, and loving it! Most of my tops are still ok, and I've been wearing maxi skirts/dresses with sweaters regularly. It's been a very comfy few weeks as far as clothing goes.
Stretch marks? None, and I'm being adiment about applying lotion like a mad woman now that everything seems to be expanding quicker than before!
Sleep? I'm sleeping easily thru the night, and waking up feeling rested/ready for the day.
Best moment this week? Hearing that everything is going to be ok with his brain!
