02-11-2009 - Growth Ultrasound

My mood while writing this blog: good

I had a growth ultrasound today. It was so neat! He is facing head down still... I hope he stays that way. It's amazing how much he has grown since my last one at 21 weeks. He is weighing in at the 54 percentile. So comforting. I was worried he might be getting too big, but he is just right. He was moving like crazy. I love seeing him so active. I get to have another growth ultrasound at the beginning of December. I posted the pictures from the ultrasound in my pictures.

My OB called me about an hour after my ultrasound. It scared the life out of me to hear her voice on the phone. She was the doctor who called me when our first baby had died. Ahhhhh! She told me that everything is great. Relief! But the radiologist saw a spot on his heart. He wasn't sure what it was. So they want me to have an fetal echocardiogram. An ultrasound of his heart. OK... I asked what was wrong. She said, nothing is wrong. It might be a calcification. So I asked if it is what will happen to him. She said he will be born completely healthy, but might need some follow up treatment after he's born. I wasn't too worried, because I had just seen his heart pumping strong and him being super active. The doctor said it is probably nothing. He is so active it might have been an unclear picture of the heart. So I have to go to a bigger town with better equipment. So we can have the special heart ultrasound. I go for the heart ultrasound this Wednesday. Thank goodness we don't have to wait too long. I would hate it if we had to wait until next week or longer.

Anyway... I feel great! I'm not worried. As long as he's born healthy. I will blog about the echocardiogram on Wednesday. I am very curious to see what the deal is. We will be saying our prayers for our little man. =)
