Week 26

Hello out there!

So it's been a few weeks since my last post, my apologies. I've been busy with online classes and for some reason, I've been extremely tired lately. Also, my round ligaments are in so much pain from all the stretching that I can barely stand up straight! I threw up the other day out of no where, but then quickly stopped at McDonalds for a crispy chicken sandwich to make up for it. We also had the pleasure of visiting the hospital at 1AM this past Friday because I was screaming and crying in pain from these ligament pains and thought I was in labor. God I'm frightened for the day it actually happens since that pain WASN'T labor.

Anyhow, baby Nikko is doing fabulous! We went to the specialist yesterday and there are no changes on the scans so we are still in the clear from any other bands! I go back to see her again on April 21st for a full body growth scan.


So here is little mans right hand again. I posted a basic ultrasound and a 4D ultrasound so you can see things a little bit better and put things into perspective a bit more. You can see the arrows pointing to the thumb (which he is slightly bending on his own so don't think that he is missing any of it) as well as the index finger, followed by the last three fingers which are shortened and fused together.

In the 4D image, his thumb is tucked behind his hand and you can see the pointer finger pointing to the right followed by the last three fingers which are fused together.

I want to make women/girls/others understand something that is THE MOST ANNOYING THING TO DO TO A NEW SOON TO BE MOM:

STOP TELLING ME HOW YOU DID IT! STOP TELLING ME WHAT I NEED TO DO! STOP TELLING ME WHAT IS GOOD/BAD FOR MY BABY AS PER WHAT YOU THINK! STOP TELLING ME WHAT KIND OF NAZI YOU ARE WHEN IT COMES TO PARENTING! 

Newsflash ladiessssss... I DON'T GIVE A S*#T!!!!


The most annoying thing people continuously do is one of the following sentences:
1. "I did this with my baby"
2. "You need to do this with your baby"
3. "This is good for your baby"
4. "He will probably like what I did with my baby"
5. "I'm just saying, it worked with my baby"
6. "I'm sorry to ask you that, but I'm just a carseat nazi"
7. "I like to tell all new moms what I did with my baby"
ETC, ETC, ETC

You all give me the urge to punch you in the damn throat. Please just do you, and I will be just fine. I don't need concern, I don't need assistance, and if I have concern or need assistance, I will ask. So just stop with your comments. I don't want/need to hear/see them. Just because you had a kid or two, does not mean you know everything about what MY child will need/want/be. Just because I am a new mom, does not mean I'm a complete invalid. I'm not a 15 year old child, I am a 24 year old woman. I make my own money, pay for my own bills, and put my damn big girl pants on every morning all by myself. Let me parent and do what I want with my kid. Thanks.

Anywho...


I know I have nothing juicy to say this week, but as long as there is no bad news, I don't really care who reads my blog. This is for other people to learn about the syndrome as well as allow other mothers like myself who are dealing with this same scenario to be able to relate. This also allows me to get out my own thoughts and feelings and document my pregnancy so I have something to look back on since I have the mushiest brain on the planet and everyone is lucky I remember to put pants on when leaving the house.

I leave you with a couple selfies:

The little man <3

And myself =]

Hope I don't bore everyone too much! Thanks for looking!
