Latest update

It's been awhile since I updated, but that's just because there's nothing much to say! At the last perinatologist visit the placenta had moved up a little more and so the dr. took me off of restriction. (He had put me on a list of restrictions such as no strenuous activity, no heavy exercise, some light walking should be ok, don't go out of town,for example,the Everglades, and a few other things. Well the weekend before the Dr's visit, my family came down and we went to the Everglades and mom and I moved some heavy boxes and such, so we had already done our running around, so the restrictions weren't really very limiting.) The weekend after the Dr.'s visit we went to the Keys for our church workers retreat, which was fun! So I didn't have to worry about going against Dr.'s orders! I do try very hard to do what the Doctor's say! :)

Yesterday we had our Pediatric Cardiologist checkup, which took forever, but that's normal and he said that the heart arrhythmia/2nd degree heart block (type1) seems to be resolving itself!! Which is very good! They only saw it maybe three times the whole hour of scanning, which is a huge improvement because one of the reasons we were referred to him was because of the arrhythmia which was regularly skipping every fourth beat. Everything else looks the same, they didn't see anything different than what they've been seeing so far, so that's good too. The visits take a while because they do the ultrasound of the baby's heart for about an hour and then the Dr. comes in and goes through every single picture looking at the heart, valves, chambers, veins, etc. and watching all the clips of the blood flow and such. He double checks it each time just to make sure it's all the same and they haven't missed anything. He seems very thorough, which I appreciate. He's going to be presenting her case next week to the neonatologist and surgical team at the hospital so that they're aware of us. He doesn't think that they'll want to do a surgical consult since the baby won't require surgery. We are planning to go on the tour of the maternity floor and the NICU, just so we have a clue of where we'll be and where everything is. We have what should be our last checkup with him scheduled before she's born and then he said they would see her within the first month after she's here!

And for those of you asking, she doesn't have a name yet. :(  We're working on it. We have two middle names that we like, we just have to find a first name.
Names we've eliminated are :
Emily Jr.
DebbieRay
LeighAnn(a)
Christina
