What is the brain really like?

Yea for clean scans!  I've been told by one of Dr. Smart's colleagues that Bella's scans look good.  They were checking for hydrocephalus more than anything, but we are for sure clear of that.  Her gigantic head comes from her daddy and it just happened to catch up with her more quickly than expected.  However, they found that a piece of her cerebellum is longer than the other.  At least that's what I think he told me :).

The doctor said that the radiologists pointed that out on the scans only because they are supposed to point out any abnormalities they find, whether they may be cosmetic or not.  He's fairly certain this is something that we won't need to worry about.  But because Dr. Smart is out of town, he is leaving the scans for her to look at when she returns and then she can decide whether she thinks its worth calling the neurologist about.  Worst case scenario, we'll have to do another MRI in another 6-12 months.  That way they can be certain whether it is something that needs to be dealt with or not.  But I'm thinking its merely a fluke, just like her rapid head growth.  Things happen, right?

Anyway, like we thought (despite my usual worrying), nothing is wrong.  All of our problems get blown out of proportion and then turn out to be small manageable issues.  I'm thankful for that, but I'll tell you, it sure is tiring.  Doesn't help that I'm pregnant again.  This poor kid is gonna come out predisposed to stress because someones big sister likes to cause trouble :)!  Oh well, things are great.  Bella wants to crawl and has started the army shuffle to get short distances in front of her.  She gets out of sitting easily and she's trying desperately to sit up on her own.  She stands using us as her solid object.  For sure, things could be a whole lot worse! 

Keep moving forward!  That's what we are doing and will continue to do!  (PS: Its from "Meet the Robinsons".  Go watch it!  Its awesome!)
