Pregnancy Update - More Good News

We had the fetal echocardiogram today. At 23 weeks, there are no gross abnormalities of the heart, blood flow is good, and the baby is measuring normal at about 1lb. 9oz.. All very good signs. It is possible that there could be a small hole in the heart somewhere that is too tiny to be detected at this point, but everything so far shows no signs of Trisomy 18 and we are so grateful and relieved.

The doc says he's seen a few rare instances where a baby had Trisomy 18 but had no anatomical abnormalities detected. The baby just stopped growing in utero. So we go back for another ultrasound in 7 weeks to check growth. The good part about all this is that we get to see our baby a lot more than most people do :)

Thanks to all who have been praying for us. We'll keep you updated!
