Prayers are being answered!!!!!!

Today some of our prayers were answered! We went for our sonogram today to check on Mason's condition. We knew what the 2 outcomes could be. We knew "something" would happen today... and GOD BLESSED US!!

I am so happy to report that Mason's hygroma is SMALLER (by quite a bit) , his edema is no worse, and there are NO HYDROPS (fluid on the organs)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mason is growning like a weed also, he was 1lb 3oz a week and a half ago, and is now 1lb 12oz!!

Our prayers are being answered!!
We are so thankful to FINALLY get some good news.

Our sweet Mason looked so perfect on the screen. It brought tears to my eyes. I just have this feeling all will be ok.

He is now in the 53rd% overall sized (was 42nd)
His femur is now in the 17th% (was 9%)
My amnio fluid is off the charts still & will need to have another amnio reduction :(


Were not out of the woods yet...but were on a much better road today.

Keep the prayers coming...because they are working!!!!!!

Holding my breath

Today I feel like I am holding my breath, waiting for "something" to happen. Im not sure what the "something" is that I am waiting for....just that "something" has to happen.

Something good
Something bad
Just something

We have at least 1 Dr. appt a week right now (sometimes more). I keep waiting for that "something" at each appointment. I feel like we are going to get that "something" tomorrow. Yes , tomorrow. Tomorrow we have a ultrasound to check on Mason. Check his hygroma, his edema, and to check for hydrop. ***hydrops are fluid around his organs, hydrops are 100% fatal in Masons case*** I just have this feeling deep down.... that we will get some news tomorrow...just not sure if it will be good news or bad.

There are 2 scenarios possible tomorrow:
#1: GOOD NEWS: hygroma is smaller, no more edema, and no hydrops.
#2: Bad New: hygroma is larger, edema is worse, and there are hydrops present.

We are praying ever so hard for #1! Because I dont think I can handle #2. If Mason shows the hydrops we will be induced to try to "help him " before the hydrops do their damage. This mommy isnt ready for that. Not yet, not ever.

Before each ultrasound, i secretly pray that Mason pops on the screen and he is perfectly healthy. No hygroma or heart defect. That has yet to happen, but I will continue to pray it does.

So for all those who are praying with us.... pray tomorrow morning brings us good news.

(our appointment is at 8:45am)

Little Blessings along the way

While I wrote about Getting things together a few days ago, I had been looking on Etsy.com for some monogram gown for Mason. I found a gown i liked and wanted to order. So I contacted the ladies to ask them if they have preemie size. They quickly responded that they were very sorry but the smallest size they had newborn size. I shared with the ladies what was going on and why we would need such a small gown.

Then God showed us the sunshine again!

These wonderful ladies went above and beyond. They custom made our little Mason a special gown. A beautiful gown. They hand constructed it to make it small enough for him. Also not only did they custom make this special gown....they wouldn't let me pay for it. This was their gift for Mason.

When they emailed me the photo of the gown, all I could do is cry. It is perfect, simply perfect.
Here is the gown.
The gown underneath is a newborn size gown.

Thank you again Anne Everett Rae for this very special gown.
