Made it Over Another Hurdle

We had our fetal echo today and it went really well. A fetal echo is basically a really high level ultrasound of just the baby's heart (although the tech did try to get us some profile pictures of the baby once she'd got all the pictures of the heart she needed but he was laying face down and was being uncooperative - I think he must get his stubbornness from Bizzy). The scan took a good half hour and the tech got lots of pictures of the baby's heart from several different angles. They also check the blood flow and the heart rate (which was 162). The tech was silent for most of the scan which made me nervous since that has typically been a bad sign for us in the past but when she was done the doctor came in and said that structurally everything looked perfect and she had no concerns.

The doctor we saw today is actually a cardiologist who comes in every other week from Children's Hospital in DC specifically to do fetal echoes so we didn't even see our regular MFM. I am going to give her a call tomorrow and see what the next step is but I believe that now that we have successfully made it through the fetal echo we are no longer high risk and will be released from the MFM. So I guess this pregnancy can now almost be considered "normal"...
