Follow Up Ultrasounds

Today Nate & Ben had their follow up head ultrasounds at LGH.  Both had Grade 1 brain bleeds at their 30 day ultrasounds so we were just checking to see if they were resolving...and they are!!!  I guess when they resolve, they turn into cysts.  Both of them were!  I got nervous when I saw the tech measuring these little things that looked like jelly beans, but I guess they were supposed to be there and that they're a good thing!  I'm feeling relieved that things are looking better.  We'll check them again in a couple of months.
Now I get to worry about Nate's hernia.  We have an appointment for that next month at Tufts.  It totally freaks me out because I don't want it to get worse and then it will be an emergency to have it repaired.  I just feel bad for him because sometimes he gets super fussy and he screams and screams and arches his back and we can't do anything for him.  I feel like it must be his hernia because the other 2 boys don't do it.  Poor little bean!  I just want him to be all better!!!

We had a few "lookie-loo's" while we were there.  My favorite comment was from a woman who had twin grandchildren (girl-boy) and they each weighed 1 lb 18 oz...ummmm???  Isn't that 2 lbs 2 oz???  Hmmm...  It's always fun bringing 2 of the babies out and then confusing people when they ask if they're twins...Ha!  Just my way of confusing people!
