awww..any hair under there?...soo cute..are you home now?
The calcifications are something in his liver. They come up on ultrasound as bright white spots the color of bone. We've seen the specialist. They've done some ultrasounds and they're the same as they were on his 20 week scan (and the 26, 27 and 33 week scans they did to check on him). THey are going to monitor his liver enzymes. He tested positive for antibodies for herpes simplex. I had 8 cold sores while I was pregnant. They are concerned about possible liver scarring (but said it's a very low chance). If any of the tests come back different in 3 months then they're going to do a biopsy. That worries me, but at least I know they're monitoring him. I'm happy to know they have an idea of what's caused it, it's a little bit of a relief.

does the herpes and the calcifications have anything to do with each other? I have genital herpes (as I think I told you ladies sometime before) and will have to be put on acyclovir at around 36 weeks to prevent breakouts close to her due date...but they never said anything about it otherwise
Good to hear that James is being monitored and that it hasn't got worse since 20 weeks.
I think we're hitting the 4 month sleep regression. Toby has started waking up at 3:30 for a bottle. He's on 7oz bottles every 4 hours but he still gets hungry by 3:30am
