Another milestone

We had our echo on Friday. It went great, after starting off not so great. We were there early and they got us in right away. We've always been the only people in that waiting room. Obviously and thankfully there's not many fetal echos performed daily there. We were told that the cardiologist wasn't in, but the tech will take all of the pictures that they need and the cardiologist will contact us on Monday with the results. Really!? We have to wait all weekend before getting confirmation that everything was OK. Luckily, the tech turned the screen so I was able to watch everything. She even labeled some of the parts of the heart for us and gave us a picture which we never got with Claire. It was short and sweet, which we took as a good sign, because Claire's echos were all almost an hour before all was said and done. The tech is not really supposed to give any results, however after seeing a fetal heart so many times, we were able to clearly see four chambers, and she confirmed that.

I got the call from the cardiologist yesterday morning. He said our little guy's heart looks perfectly healthy and we will not need to have another echo this pregnancy. The most beautiful words anyone could ever say to me! They will want to do an echo with any future pregnancies because our risk of having a heart baby is slightly higher than most, but I am 100% OK with that. I thank God every day for this baby. We truly feel blessed.
