"Small" news and sneak peek

    We went to the high risk doctor last week for another look at the heart.  I went in hoping that the VSD (hole between the bottom two chambers of the heart) had closed.  It had not, but the doctor thought it was smaller.  We will meet with the pediatric cardiologist in a couple of weeks and here more on what to expect.  
    They also found that I have an increased amount of amniotic fluid.  This has certain risks associated with it, and will be monitoring me more closely.  It basically makes your body feel like you are further along than you are, making you look and feel further along than you are (awesome) and potentially deliver early.  The good news is that mine is only mildly elevated and if it were to get extremely high, they can actually drain it. 
     The best thing about seeing the high risk doctor is that you get to see your baby more often and  they usually give you lots of ultrasound pictures, including 3D!  Here's a sneak peek.   
     Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.  It really is overwhelming to see how many people love us.
