Baby# 4 Ultrasound

I went today for my ultrasound and got good and bad news.  Good news is that baby looks great and everything is fine.  Spine is normal, head is the right size, heart beat sound and looks good, however bad news is that they are 80% sure that baby is going to have clubbed feet.  I jinxed myself in saying that if that's all they told me was wrong with the baby I could totally deal!! CLUBBED FEET AAAHHHH!!!   So if you want to see really cute feet, come quickly after the baby is born because Logan had cast put on at 6 days old, and was in cast until he was 3 months old.  I guess if this is the worst news I could get I'm fine with it.  We went through this with Logan and so at least we know what we are in for as far as treatment.  I'm certainly glad I saved all of Logan's cool shoes.  Things I'm not looking forward to are Logan was a really picky baby and wanted to be held all of the time, those stupid shoes they have to wear 24/7. Sponge baths because you have to be careful of the full leg casts that they put on, and last but not least the awful things people say to you when they see your baby in cast, like you broke both their legs, I even had people mumble things under their breath to me about Logan, good thing I have thick skin and a sharp tongue!!  Many sleepless night because the baby cried for 2 hours and slept for 45 minutes.  At least I'm better prepare this time around and who knows maybe this baby will have any easier time of it. Any guesses on what we are having???  She didn't tell us but you can guess I'll let you know in April!!  I will post ultrasound pictures when I get them scanned into the computer.
