Update on Appointments

Yesterday we had an OB appointment and another echo (ultrasound of the heart).  The OB appointment went well but reminded me why I always make my appointments in the morning :)  I got confirmation that my sugars were good and I gained weight over the holidays.  At least this year I have an excuse (thanks for all the good food family).

The good news out of the echo is that there really isn’t anything new to report.  Everything looks like it did at our last echo and there was nothing new to see.  It was the world’s longest echo though.  They didn’t even do all the body measurements and it took longer than any other echo that we have had (including the one which measured nearly every bone in our little girl’s body and her heart to diagnose her condition).  After we had been having the echo for about an hour, the tech said there was another machine that is really good to use with the heart and that we would move over to that.  Ugh!  Why weren’t we at that machine to start with?!?

Anyway, with the new machine and the doctor, things moved along.  There were no changes in her heart condition and she appears to be growing and developing as expected.  We even saw our little one yawn.  She is a cutie! 

Now we still have to get our hot little hands on a copy of the CD from the echo to take over to U of M for our next appointment in early February.  We had to fill out the paperwork to get the CD, so we will see if it actually works.  We are glad that the remainder of our echos will be over at U of M.

Hopefully there will not be many updates over the next few weeks.  We have an OB appointment in two weeks and then our next round of appointments over at U of M two weeks after that.  March will be here before we know it.

But in the meantime, we are looking forward to birth of my bff's baby here in the next few weeks!  Cannot wait to meet him or her!!!
