WOW!! What a last couple of couple of weeks! Things have been so crazy with Brayden and doctors appointments I can barely keep up. I cannot believe that we only have 38 more days until lil man gets here. So let me just give you a small update of what things have been like the past 2 weeks. I was seen at the doctor back on April 30th for a normal ultrasound and check up and we noticed that the ultrasound tech was paying close attention to Brayden's heart, but at the time didn't think anything of it until they wanted me to do a stress test. I started freaking out of course because I had no clue what was going on...finally after 30 minutes the doctor came in and told us that she noticed he had a small arrhythmia of his heart. Naturally I go straight for the worst, but after two doctors appointments later and a trip to a peds cardiologist..I feel much better! He reassured us that this is something common that sometimes does show up weather it be in early or late pregnancy. He told us more than likely it could go away before he is born or after. Brad and I felt so much better after hearing those words..he just put our minds at ease that it was nothing to worrying about!! So now we are back to our regular OBGYN appointments, but twice a week until further notice. We are also happy to report that his weight is now up to 4lbs 6oz and he has exellent bloodflow and a healthy heartrate!
Although, Brad and I have been completely overwhelmed the past couple of weeks, we have also felt blessed with our wonderful family and friends with their warm thoughts and prayers! We don't know how we would have gotten through these past few weeks without them! We head back to the doctor tomorrow and we hope to keep reporting only good news. Thank you again for all your wonderful thoughts and prayers!! :)
