We had an overwhelming amount of support while we were waiting to hear back about baby's heart situation! Thank you everyone, so much! I hope you all saw the quick post on Facebook after the appointment that everything is ok. I finally have time to write more in-depth about the whole ordeal.
So, we went to see the specialist last Wednesday. The ultrasound lasted about an hour and a half and they were able to get a good look at all her little miniature organs. It was pretty amazing actually how close they could look at everything. Seriously, what did our parents do without these things? She was still being a stinker and hiding from the ultrasound, but apparently she was no match for this equipment. The great news is they were FINALLY able to confirm her great vessels were developing normally and it does not appear anything is wrong with her heart! So the game plan, for now, is we will be able to have a normal, healthy birth when she is good and ready to come out. There was one little problem they noticed while they were all up in her organs: she has a little fluid around her kidneys. The doctor said it was abnormal but not unusual and he did not seem overly concerned but he wants to keep an eye on it. Unfortunately, that means another ultrasound in a few weeks. I can't believe some women only get one ultrasound per pregnancy! They need to start a punch card for us I think. We would be pretty close to a free one at this point.
The silver lining is we get to see lots of pictures of our silly little nugget. She was being especially playful on Wednesday. The above picture is her profile with her little feet up by her forehead. They were having a difficult time counting her left toes because I guess she was holding her left foot in her hand way up by her forehead :). I think she got Erik's long legs. And we might have a gymnist on our hands!
Thanks again everyone for all your prayers and support!
