Last of the Specialized Tests...

This morning we went in for the Fetal Echo Cardiogram. He's still a little wiggle worm and sometimes made it difficult for the tech to get to all the parts of his heart when she wanted, but she was eventually able to get everything she needed. The great news is that everything looks normal! They were very nice and explained everything to us. He has a normal healthy looking heart...all the chambers and ventricles. It still absolutely amazes me that they can look so closely at the inner-workings of his little heart! His heart is only about 1.5 centimeters in size right now. And it is so crazy to see it beating! I love it!

So, it looks like now we just have to wait to meet the little man! It might be a little weird after we've been through all of these specialized tests for so long. Now all the special treatment is over (which is bitter-sweet) and we pretty much just wait. But we can wait with some confidence knowing that so far all signs point to a healthy normal baby boy!! We are so happy for that! I wouldn't wish for anyone to go through this, but we have been so relieved now after each additional test. Thanks again for all of your prayers!

Hey Mindy! Praising God for the reports you are getting! What a special story you will have to share with him after he is born- a miracle baby!

Let me know if you are ever heading south here- we can grab some coffee and catch up!
