Just in case you were sitting on the edge of your seat about the saga that is our lives…
I’m still pregnant, showing no imminent signs of not being so anytime soon. I went to my normal OB appointment Tuesday before leaving for school, all seemed well, including the NST we did before I traveled across the state. With the NST, I could hear a perfectly normal heartbeat, and it was pretty reassuring all was fine.
Yesterday I attended a picture perfect fetal echo and ultrasound. Not a single arrhythmic beat. All ductuses and ovales that should be open are open. All septums that should be solid are solid. No transposition of vessels. Anatomically and physiologically text book. THANKTHELORD!
While I 95% felt this was the case all along, there was that shade of doubt and worry over my heart, until I knew his heart was okay. The perinatalogist gave us the clear to deliver whenever and wherever we wanted. In his very educated (and probably expensive opinion) this was an uncomplicated pregnancy/fetus. And I got to see him, the him we will soon know…
I know they’re crappy iPhone pictures, but I’m still 400 miles from home. And seriously… who cares how crappy the pictures are, he is freaking adorable!
So now, a few more stops on the east side and then back to the west side of the state… a few more days of work, and hopefully soon, a baby boy!
