Baby Update!

Yesterday we went to the Pediatric Cardiologist. He was a very nice doctor, and spent just over and hour looking at our little man's heart. His main job was to verify that everything was still okay structurally. It was, so that's good news! He did see a small pocket of fluid around his heart, so we have to see him back again in two weeks. This is now the third weird thing going on with this little guy's heart, it's just insane! Luckily, the doctor seems to think it's no big deal, and he's just going to watch it. He said there is no major heart defect, and if something is wrong other than the arrhythmia, it would be a small hole/s that would be hidden during the echo-cardiogram. Even then, we're still told not to worry, because they would most likely close on their own shortly after birth.

Today, I had my OB appt and non-stress test. The arrhythmia is still there, but again, the doctors are saying not to worry. The baby was being a bugger and wasn't cooperating...and just tried sleeping through it all. He wasn't allowed to do that, so after 2 juices, a hard candy, and a sucker, he finally started moving. Go figure...this baby moves non-stop, except when we need him too, lol. I'm in serious trouble if this is all a sign of how he'll be once he's born. He's such a little stinker!!

So for now, we do nothing except wait, and continue our non-stress tests and follow up appts. 5 weeks to go...and I am more than ready to hold my precious little guy and stop worrying!
